the most sensible thing he could do would be to surrender, send iran a heartfelt apology and then resign and walk into the sea. but i doubt that's on the cards

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and started a pointless war. But the wine mom next door still says "Latinx" sometimes. I have never felt more politically homeless.

A beautiful tribute to Kristi Noem.

I wrote up some thoughts from yesterday.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.

“The U.S. Postal Service will run out of cash within a year unless Congress lifts a decades-old cap and allows the agency to borrow more money, the new postmaster general warned in an interview.” The GOP is nearing completion of its decades old plan to run the Post Office into the ground.

Exactly. .oh and an FYI...they started in mental health and womens services...yknow. reaaons.

FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

So much Money Wasted on Destruction and Wars….

To everyone sweating gas prices, a reminder: we could have electrified the grid, gotten off fossil fuels, and replaced all vehicles with EVs for the same cost as the Iraq war.

to be clear no actual interviewees were harmed, or interviewed, in the creation of my contribution. But Zach is always brilliant to read!

Yay!

Less than one week into a war with Iran, Trump spent more than 90 minutes at an event (with Marco Rubio by his side) talking at a roundtable about what ails college sports and how to fix it.

Oh snapppp!

Rev. Dr. Jamal Bryant at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"The service wouldn't have been this long if were able to go to the Capitol, but the Capitol is now only reserved for pedophiles and podcasters."

Don't often say this but credit to Doocy for asking Trump about one of the biggest & most consequential issues of the day- Russia helping Iran target Americans. Will be interesting to see if and how Fox deals with this on TV.

Trump: Ask about my ballroom!

Sociology pulls back the curtain on power - how it's constructed, how it's maintained, and the (il)legitimacy of those in power - and that's why they're so afraid of it.

(It's also why Intro Soc is my favorite class to teach.)

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Like a LOT more! Orders of magnitude more. It would never have occurred to really any previous president to do stuff this obviously reckless and stupid. We’re so used to saying “well things are complex and have complex causes” but in this case it’s like “nah it’s just because of THAT guy tbh”.

Alas, subject-predicate agreement is so 1900s.

Putin: "I'm giving Iran military intelligence so they can target U.S. troops. Is that okay with you, bitch?"

Well, imagine that …

This is what they said about tariffs, too. We must all be willing to endure some short term pain so our dumbass president can implement the policies that will ensure long term pain.

what do these idiots think "kinetic" means

Predictions = blows for Democrats
Realities = no problem for our muscular reailty-bending President

Forecast for US Recession Within Year Hits 100% in Blow to Biden A US recession is effectively certain in the next 12 months in new Bloomberg Economics model projections, a blow to President Joe Biden’s economic messaging ahead of the November midterms.

All bad economic news was framed as a political problem driving Biden’s polls down but it’s rare to see that with Trump (the “jobs president” with the awful jobs record).

“When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”

Exactly this! ⬇️
