“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

NYT on March 16, 2026: Mr. Trump’s claim of support from a former president came even as he conceded on Monday that he had been “shocked” by Iran’s retaliatory strikes in the war, which targeted U.S.-allied states like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. He added that “there was no expert that would say that was going to happen” and equated the war to “a big chess game at a very high level — very high-level chess, the highest.” He continued, “I’m dealing with very smart players.” He added: “These are really smart people and violent people and vicious people. And some very nice people. And some are very nice but violent; they turned violent.”

In another story yesterday the NYT quoted Trump and deliberately removed an entire sentence he said insulting Jasmine Crockett. A reader who did not see the video would have no idea that in the middle of this Trump said "very high IQ people. These are not Jasmine Crockett."

NYT on Feb. 13, 2026: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises. Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

NYT on March 16, 2026: On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said. Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid

Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

They're having trouble getting jurors in one of the cases against Elon Musk because "so many people hate him so much"

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Checking in with an update on the Crespo-Gonzalez family and my oversight visit to ICE facilities in Texas.

Yesterday, I was denied entry into the facility jailing my constituents, but I am not deterred. I will return today and keep fighting to bring these Oregonians home.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Every American needs to watch this:

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

If you're Canadian and shaking your head about the US gov arresting journalists for the crime of doing journalism, well, that happens here too.
And instead of just being furious about it, you can donate money to The Narwhal, who are actually trying to stop it from happening here.

That feeling when you, a terrorism and extremism scholar, see documentary evidence that shows moot met with Jeffery Epstein on the same day /pol was launched:

Comic - an anime catgirl vtuber thanks her subscribers while a chatter tells her that using a big titty model is pandering. The performer then launches into a thoughtful and emotionally-adjusted rant about how she and her subscribers are minding their own business and the chatter's need to tear them down to feel better about themselves is their problem, not hers.

This rhetoric is so tiring every time I see it.

Confidence in Trump Dips, and Fewer Now Say They Support His Policies and Plans Only 27% of Americans say they support all or most of Trump's policies – down since last year, with the change coming entirely among Republicans.

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And:

"Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans."

Beautiful tribute by illustrator MJ.Hiblen (@mjhiblenart on Instagram)...😢

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

US judge threatens ICE chief with contempt, orders court appearance The chief judge of Minnesota's federal court ordered the acting chief of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday to personally explain why that agency has not complied wi...

US District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear in court Friday & warned he could be held in contempt for repeatedly failing to comply with court orders.

ICE has repeatedly ignored or delayed bond hearings & release orders for detained immigrants.

Trump’s attacks on immigrants, his handing over of our economy to billionaires, his slashing of health care — it’s all intertwined.

It is a takeover of every facet of our lives. It’s authoritarian, and we will not let it stand.

(around the No Kings logo, images of megaphones, and a photo of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) MARCH 28 NO KINGS NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.

The date for the next No Kings Day is set.

But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.
