Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran. His comments came after President Trump criticized the news media’s coverage in a post on social media. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...
All of these costs were completely voluntary. No one (in America) was asking for this war. There was no immediate threat. War in Iran is like the Liberation Day tariffs: a pure product of the id of one man.
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Timothy Busfield, aka Danny . . . the only guy who spent time in the White House to go down for child sex abuse. His B list status wasn't connected enough, I guess. Or maybe this is just the beginning 🤞
Breaking News: The actor and director Timothy Busfield was indicted on charges that he had sexual contact with a child actor whom he directed on a TV show.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.
A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.
The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
Ye, the artist and producer formerly known as Kanye West, took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal on Monday, saying he regretted his recent antisemitic behavior, which he attributed to untreated bipolar I disorder, during a period when he had stopped taking medication.

It should freak the American people out that Trump, Noem and Bovino lie so enthusiastically. He wasn't "brandishing a weapon". He wasn't attending a "riot" or "interfering in a crime scene". He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights.
We saw what we saw.
Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.
Gregory Bovino must also be fired.
No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
🚨"It looks just like a cover up to me" -Minnesota AG @keithellison.bsky.social tells our @jtcestkowski.bsky.social on the Trump DOJ's "inexplicable" refusal to investigate the killing of Renee Good.
"Give us the file—we'll do it. It speaks to cover up and the whole world should denounce it."
Donald Trump could be naked, yelling at cars on the freeway, and Republicans would still be all "Democrats have just never witnessed a genius at work".
🚨"Donald Trump is going to do whatever he can to declare martial law before November so that there won't be any midterms; that's what this is about, this is his plan, whether it's a Civil War or war with other countries...we're living in some kind of dystopian world"-ICE protester. LIVE NOW ⬇️
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."
Pretty sure that if a single person can just give away $7B in a year we can afford to tax the fucking rich and create policies that rebuild the middle class and lower the costs of our basic needs to live a decent life with stressing about financial cliffs.
As a Quaker organization, we abhor all violence because we believe every person has sacred worth.
We are deeply disturbed by the wanton, unrestrained violence we are seeing this administration carry out - both at home and abroad. Thank you, Sen. Murphy, for sounding the alarm.
What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.
We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
NEW: Indiana’s Senate leader announces the chamber will not reconvene in December to redraw the state’s congressional map, citing opposition from Republican senators who refuse to change a map that already gives the party a disproportionately large advantage.
