I literally just posted “irony is dead” for another Fox News segment. I need a rubber stamp.
NEW: Boasberg blocks subpoenas in Powell’s case. "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
I feel like I say this three times a week: irony is well and truly dead.
Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.
Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.
So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
See the problem...
Got to keep bringing this up: imagine the reaction of the media (and Republicans) if a Democratic president casually talked about a Russian leader helping an American adversary targeting American troops as if he were subservient to Russia.
The entire profession needs to stand united against this.
War based on vibes
During the deposition of Epstein accountant Richard Kahn, his attorney claimed that Jane Doe 4, who accused Trump & Epstein of abuse, never received a settlement from the estate. He now says he can no longer confirm or deny this.
Statement by Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov & Rep. Ro Khanna
The price tag for Trump's war in Iran is $1 billion PER DAY.
That’d be able to cover:
The cost of Medicaid for all 16 million people expected to lose it AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them.
Trump chose a war without a plan over you.
Breonna Taylor died 6 years ago today. We didn't heed the warning.

Shameless plug. My @warontherocks.bsky.social debut is a rebuttal to Cynical Publius’ war college opinion piece. warontherocks.com/2026/03/mili...
20 White House cabinet members have directed at least $30 million in spending that benefitted President Trump since 2023.
Only three out of 23 members have not in some way helped pad Trump’s political coffers, pet projects or personal bottom line. 🧵
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
When this is all over, every serving GO/FO and FGO who had a hand in the "planning" of this conflict should be court-martialled for incompetence and dereliction of duty.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.
For god’s sake, consider the plight of petro CEOs!
🇺🇸 Rep. @tedlieu.bsky.social says there is “ample evidence” in the full Epstein files alleging Donald Trump raped children. “This is all on videotape.”
I remember hearing the same talking points from Cheney & Rumsfeld staffers after Kabul fell in November 2001.
How quickly things can change
They should play this on a loop in front of the white house

Nice job @therecount.com
Everything has changed ... except the claims of the fossil fuel lobbyists who infest politics and the media.

Absolutely excellent article here from @erininthemorning.com summarising, in plain terms, the terrible methodological failures of this evidence review.

"I don't know what weapons the next war will be fought with, but the one after that will be with sticks."
"Because of nukes, right?"
"No, because we decided logistics was woke."
I've facilitated about the same number of trans people in a Dublin support group back in the day. This is sad. We're a small community but Jesus this is puny. The vast majority of detransitioners tend to express solidarity with trans people anyway and despise being weaponised by cranks like genspect
I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.

Tweet: Annmarie Hordern @annmarie Axios: President Trump told G7 leaders in a virtual meeting Wednesday that Iran is "about to surrender," according to three officials from G7 countries briefed on the contents of the call... While claiming Iran was about to surrender, he also suggested there were no officials left alive in Tehran with the power to make that decision. "Nobody knows who is the leader, so there is no one that can announce surrender," Trump said, according to two officials briefed on the call.
Why would anyone take anything he says seriously?
(Reminder: he told 30,573 lies in his first term—roughly 21 per day.)
