Scams could now cost Americans $119 billion a year, study finds The estimate builds on numbers from the FBI, which are widely believed to capture only a small fraction of the money lost to scams.

New: In a pretty straightforward calculation I'm surprised I hadn't seen done before, researchers at @consumerfed.bsky.social looked at how much people report in the scam losses to FBI + the most reliable study on how underreported scams go, and calculated we're losing $119 billion a year at least.

As I said, Trump ended dissent and the fight for freedom in Iran. There was a pro-democracy movement. It was hard. Many people died. But there was hope. Trump ended that.

The New York Times Is Mad at Mamdani for Governing Well What a petty hit piece reveals about the media's fucked-up incentives.

We do not our politicians to make engaging content; we want them to govern.

But β€œwe” are not the elite political press.

We want a functioning democracy.

They want content.

At Least 17 U.S. Sites Damaged in War With Iran, Analysis Shows

This updated NYT list of the key strategic sites Iran has hit separates the description of the hit on Prince Sultan Air Base from the strike there, on the same day, that would kill Benjamin Pennington (previously NYT tied the two, which is probably correct).

I’ve always wondered if these reports of wasteful military spending are just ways to hide spending on secret, black ops or illegal projects.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

When White House aides are leaking furiously to the media about how all this isn’t their fault if only someone had listened to them is that usually a sign that insiders are confident the policy is going well

James Comer Says Trump DOJ Shut Down Epstein Investigation James Comer said Trump's DOJ asked New Mexico investigators to shut down a 2019 investigation into a ranch owned by convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein.

WOW!!! GOP Rep James Comer Says Trump DOJ Asked New Mexico Officials to End Jeffrey Epstein Investigation! The property was being probed in 2019, but Trump DOJ took over and shut things down. This is the cover up in action! www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Helluva way to run a war, as the NYT reports. But the article doesn’t go far enough. WHY are his aides terrified of telling Trump the truth? Because the commander-in-chief is not OK in the head, that’s why. These reporters should say it instead of covering it up. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

"For every dollar donated by billionaires and their immediate families to a candidate or committee associated with Democrats, five dollars went to Republicans. Much of that was a result of ultrawealthy people in the tech industry, who aligned with Mr. Trump’s tax and deregulation policies."

Do you know where your birth certificate is? How about your passport? Do you even have one? Millions of Americans lack ready access to these documents, which they’d need to register to vote under the SAVE Act. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4bLkoR1

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for β€œlethality.”

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.

Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

This. The β€œSave America Act” aims to nationalize voter purges using DHS’s centralized β€œSAVE” voter purge system, which is already plagued by security & accuracy systems, while simultaneously making it difficult for voters to re-register if they are wrongly purged, as Rs have a habit of doing. 1/
