Gosh if only we'd invested in a national rail system.

NTSB is the last exemplar of independent professionalism in federal government, because we used to think stopping plane crashes was a goal beyond partisanship

β€œthe cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

If he has a trans godson & still agrees w/Nazis that trans ppl shouldn’t be allowed to play sports or transition before age 26, considers them β€œnot normal” & chalks up their struggle for rights to β€œpronouns” then that makes him even worse cause he should fucking know better but pulls that bs anyway.

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

We’re still murdering people in β€œdrug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

Syria’s Kurds are warning their Iranian counterparts not to align with the US, saying Washington will eventually betray them and citing their own experience in the last few months as proof.

There’s a VERY strong chance that nobody making decisions at the White House realized the oil market doesn’t trade on the same business openings as the NYSE.

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

" a curious lapse in planning."

That presupposes planning. There wasn't much.

The visuals from war movies would motivate Trump for certain.

OF COURSE this is a logistical nightmare. And OF COURSE it would not even be possible.

But Trump might order it done, and Hegseth might try to make it happen anyway.

"But surely they can't be THAT dumb" is not a good bet.

This ignores the potential for really bad, absolutely bound to fail options like a "Storm the beaches like Normandy" style invasion, which would really appeal to Trump, and which Hegseth is actually incompetent and cocksure enough to try.

And fire anyone who tells him it's a bad idea.

Or whatever the equivalent is in Switzerland.

"Just violate the law, Trump does it" ignores that this one weird trick works only for him (and his goons) because he's captured large parts of the justice system, and because he's been ruled immune from prosecution by the supreme court.

Senator mocked β€˜green energy crap.’ His house runs on it. Montana Republican Tim Sheehy voted to scrap solar tax credits after installing panels and battery storage at his Bozeman home.

Oh look the Senator that broke a the arm of Veteran protesting the war a few days ago is also a green energy hypocrite www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

What if this were all a ploy to get the Fed to lower interest rates to near zero before the 2026 election?

Or "just delete the data"

That's a crime. It does not matter if cops or DHS do it. They control the mechanisms of enforcement.

What people really want is for Proton execs to go to jail for them.

@mayor.nyc.gov It’s clear : New Yorkers want increased funds for our public libraries.

Seeing "but what if you commited a DIFFERENT crime like deleting the data or just ignoring the court order. Trump does it all the time."...

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
