Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

In retrospect, everyone including even the Trump team should’ve seen Kristi Noem’s PR ineptitude from a mile away:

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003

Marcus Smart's always had one elite skill: flopping

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

The most famous line from Lincoln's second inaugural address is also probably the most misunderstood: "with malice toward none, with charity for all."

I'm a fan of Frederick Douglass's gloss on it.

On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming process—which LLMs mostly eliminate, imo—is fundamental to doing *good* work.

An ADSBx map showing C104 heading toward Watertown SD

If you live near Watertown SD, I’ll send you $100 and the thanks of a grateful nation if you send me photos of Noem getting off the plane.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

This is absolutely nuts (and I am not at all an Erdogan fan!)

Kash is on top of it (probably drunk in an ice rink somewhere)

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Is this the first time a senator has said Nuremberg 2? Thank you for always being at the forefront of the fight, Senator Wyden.

Not that Noem would've said or done anything different, but Markwayne is gonna be leading DHS and ICE during the midterms.

feels like a minute since i have pointed out that donald trump has pardoned more child sex offenders than every other president of the united states combined

unprecedented levels of securing the homeland

Okie

Can Mullin be confirmed? Presumably he won’t vote on his own nom. Then again, most flippable votes are presumably most motivated to see Noem go

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Oversight Democrats want to talk to anyone with information on Jeffrey Epstein, especially Donald Trump.

President Trump appears in the files more than anyone besides Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We hope Republicans will join us in getting him in front of our Committee.

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

Now, some of us may die, but that’s a price that the leading AI companies are apparently willing to pay

💯

This is 12 thousand percent why any politician or pundit (cough yglesias cough cough) arguing for that democrats should take immoral policy positions because of focused grouped mass public opinion has it backwards.

Public opinion is *shaped* by mass politics. It’s not exogenous dumbass.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Inside the Underground Safe Houses Sheltering Immigrants From ICE

This is what it's going to take, and everyone with the means must get used to the idea now. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

It rules that the biggest name in conspiracy mongering about propaganda and shadowy elites is the son of the former head of Voice of America, tried to join the CIA, and is on the record in multiple legal cases admitting that his viewers shouldn't trust him.
