James Talarico in first interview since his primary victory:

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself.

Texas has a deep hunger for a different kind of politics rooted in love. The old politics of total war is dying, and we are building a movement to take on this broken system.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

PragerU's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History The outfit that's making historical content for Trump's White House and America's youth has a history of doing history that has a fairly loose relationship with the truth

Anyway, the organizations Trump has put in charge of the 250th anniversary celebration (Hillsdale and PragerU) are offering a master class in what DuBois was talking about. rightlandia.ghost.io/pragerus-ter...

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."

But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.

They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.

"It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness. And they kept on telling me they wish they'd known beforehand how bad measles was, so that they could have protected their family," [Dr. Nolen] said.

State Department Is Accused of Slow Assistance for Stranded Americans

NEW: Trump appointees in the State Dept. failed to urge Americans to leave the Middle East even though the US & Israel had been planning their war for weeks. Thousands are now frantic amid missile barrages. Rubio pushed out many veteran diplomats last year. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

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."

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

U.S. State Department notice for Americans to leave 13 Middle Eastern countries

U.S. State Department notice for Americans to leave 13 Middle Eastern countries

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks."

The catch?

Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.

Untitled I like how Nolan paints this two-sided picture of AI coding. The worst fact about these tools is that they work. They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months. You could abstain out of moral principle. And that’s fine, especially if you’re at the tail end of your career.

Donald said, "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective."

I hate it when he talks in the third person.

Confused Trump Says the Civil War and Reconstruction Were the Same Thing: β€˜A Fancy Way of Saying the Civil War’ President Donald Trump botched 19th-century U.S. history on Friday, telling a crowd of supporters that the Civil War and Reconstruction were the same thing.

I don’t know how much less surprised I could be that Trump isn’t familiar with Reconstruction.

I maintain that the only reason to ever interview Trump is to ask him basic questions about how the world and government function.

How does a bill become a law?

How is it that tariffs costs are not passed onto customers?

When will we normalize relations with Wakanda?

It’s crazy that Kon Knueppel is having one of the most efficient rookie scoring seasons in NBA history.

Rookies that have averaged 15+ points on 60+% TS and 22+% USG:

Kon Knueppel
Zion Williamson

That’s the list.

Reduce it to 20+% USG and it’s Kon, big men and Magic.
