This administration is so stupid it killed electric vehicle incentives right before starting a Mideast war.

Trump is a titanic f*ck up. His reckless, illegal war "could bring down the economies of the world. " 8/

Mediaite: Trump Says ‘I Guess’ When Asked if Americans Should Fear Iranian Attacks: ‘Like I Said, Some People Will Die’ Willa Pope Robbins Mar 5th, 2026, 9:17 pm

People: Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' The president was questioned about the unfolding war with Iran for a new 'Time' cover story By Paloma Chavez Published on March 5, 2026 05:23PM EST

Mediaite and People are on it, while I can't find anything about this on the New York Times or Washington Post websites

This is such a perfect metaphor for the moment we are in. A grid that is awash in low cost, clean power doesn’t need expensive, dirty coal. And the Trump administration is trying to force them to run the expensive stuff anyway. www.utilitydive.com/news/washing...

We’re still paying the price for the idiotic Iraq War and this will be another huge waste of human life and our money.

Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on the environment. Where’s the pushback? Climate deniers expected more resistance to the fossil fuel blitz. But Democrats, billionaires and activists have gone silent

"'Democrats in Congress have been silent...There has been no pushback on this,' Morano said."

Why is longtime climate denier Marc Morano is happy that Democrats have stopped talking climate? As I told The Guardian, because it helps the Trump regime. Obviously.

Murphy said in an interview he is drafting legislation that would broadly ban prediction-market trades related to government actions, saying they could corrupt public decision-making by allowing military or government officials to profit off secret information. Polymarket said in August that the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., had joined its advisory board, and a handful of recent bets on the administration’s moves have sparked public accusations of insider trading. The analytics firm Bubblemaps said it found six “suspected insiders” on Polymarket that had made $1.2 million by betting that the U.S. would hit Iran by Feb. 28, the date that Operation Epic Fury began. All of the accounts were made last month and bet exclusively on Iran-strike timing; some of the bets were made within hours of the first explosions in Tehran. One account bet $60,000 and won $560,000. Murphy said in an online post that the trades indicated “people around Trump are profiting off war and death.” Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, said on Monday that “the only special interest guiding the Trump administration’s decision-making is the best interest of the American people.”

This shit has to be outlawed. There's just no way to justify its existence.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

I genuinely do not understand who the audience for this is

"I had to punch that guy because I could tell he was going to hit me back once we jumped him" is just a description of jumping a guy

Iran has notified UNESCO that U.S.-Israeli strikes have damaged two historical sites: Tehran’s grand bazaar and Golestan Palace, a complex in the Iranian capital known as the “Versailles of Persia."

The Republican Party has never nominated anyone for president born after 1947

Again the second Democrats control Congress again, these Wizards in Robes need to be working out of modular temporary offices with no budget, no clerks, & no control over the docket. Or they can stop with the unbelievable chutzpah & start following the law & Constitution:

I Lived With the Ford E-Transit for 3 Weeks, Here’s My Brutally Honest Take Three weeks of real work proved the E-Transit is easy to live with, comfortable, and hugely capable.

"Used hard over three weeks, the E-Transit proved itself as a serious working van first and an EV second. It handled heavy cargo tasks, family logistics, and a meaningful highway run without feeling fragile or compromised. The driving experience is calmer" www.autoblog.com/reviews/i-li...

Keep in mind you might be stuck in an ICE detention facility for two months for no reason if you come to the games in the US.

I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Imagine we’re all driving silent electric cars… and some rogue engineer bursts in: ‘Hear me out — what if we power it by detonating flammable liquid thousands of times per minute and carry 60 litres of it under the passengers?’ We’d call it insane. That’s #Bettrification — better tech wins.⚡️🔋🔌
