Concentration camps.

Famously upon the restoration of Charles II there was a parade held through London with prominent images of Dionysius; letting deposed Puritans know the boys were back in town, so to speak. I think we're gonna have to do that with Woke 2. Publicly cancel some prominent media men in the town square.

Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

I’m just gonna say we’re getting to his pain point.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

CENTCOM keeps releasing statements saying thing like 'the US unlike Iran avoids civilian casualties' while Hegseth cannot get in front of a microphone without saying "rules of engagement are for cucks and dweebs"

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

A reminder that the war against Iran is entirely at President Trump's whim and he refuses to explain it.

1/It was not possibly unlawful; it was unlawful; and it continues to be unlawful. In addition, NEH canceled statutorily required grants to state humanities councils many of which have had to close, harming state arts communities. And guess what: “Western Civilization” is not in the statute.

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

Ask yourself where all that money went? (Spoiler: to those who need it least) — Trump continues to make the rich richer. Heads they win, tails we lose.

Yet we always have money for war and bombs. They don’t care really about the debt and never did.

“Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment … But, in the end, we lose our humanity when we are thrilled by the destructive power of our military. … The longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war ...

It turns out to be a bad idea to put catastrophically unqualified narcissists in power and remove all accountability.

Which, much like with Hegseth, nearly everyone predicted.

Outright lying as propaganda.

Invading Iran 'Is Not the Act of Sane Men' Ground war or bluff? Dr. Robert Farley breaks down the logistical "impossibility" of invading Iran and the high-risk Kurdish proxy strategy of 2026.

"Why would the United States want to invade Iran?

The short answer is that it doesn’t; invading Iran is not the act of sane men, or even of the senior national security leadership of the Trump administration." www.19fortyfive.com/2026/03/inva...

How Elon Musk’s Sci-Fi Hyperloop Failed Before his misadventures in government efficiency, Musk promised to revolutionize commuting with a subway that would speed passengers between DC and Baltimore in a matter of minutes. The project was a...

A year long investigation into the Hyperloop found …

“The truth was far simpler, far dumber, and far more prescient: Musk and his lieutenants truly had no idea what they were doing.”

@NYCSamKay Steve Daines: "The flood of Mexican meth...20 years ago in Montana, meth was homemade. It was homegrown." (Video still cc: “meth was homemade, it was homegrown,”)

There is nothing more unserious than US drug policy

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

I am utterly humorless and relentless about this: you absolutely should never, ever, not for one second, not only a minor, obvious point, never hand it to this man.

It’s darkly funny that, after all the historical hand-wringing bigotry over papists being anti-American, the real problem turned out to be Opus Dei Catholics who (at least informally) believe no pope since Vatican II has been legitimate.

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

The Trump regime is currently holding more than three times as many detainees as Nazi Germany had six years into the Third Reich, and the stated goal of 15 to 20 million deportations would exceed the entire population that moved through the Soviet Gulag system over more than twenty years.

Rahm Emanuel: democrats need their own blotting out the sun plan, or the republicans will blot out the sun

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Whatever happens, even miraculous Venezuela-like stability in Iran and/or Cuba, the end of US diplomacy as we knew it weakens the US. Diplomacy is a tool of power, we had the best, and we blew it up deliberately. These waters are plenty charted, and they are full of icebergs. 15/15

Blowtorching diplomatic and humanitarian capacity while burning through military capabilities and alienating allies is malpractice of the highest order by the Secretary of State, the nation's top DIPLOMAT, and by the National Security Advisor. It does not help the military to kill US diplomacy. 14/

If submarine commanders are not refusing blatantly illegal orders, we are very deep in the shit.

I don't have words for this. Horrific. Heinous. Disgusting.

Actually, I do have two words for it: war crime.
