Pope Leo asked me to meet him in a private audience at the Vatican today I presented him with documents and evidence detailing decades of abuse inside Opus Dei and urged him to launch a full independent investigation into the group A THREAD 🧵

I really wanted to know more about Renee Good, killed by ICE in January. Fortunately, my editor allowed me to take some time to do a deep dive into who she was before she died. Read and listen to what I found out about her from her Colorado tribe here: www.cpr.org/2026/03/11/r...

Hegseth this morning, now this rant from Jeanine. These people come unglued when you point out their obvious incompetence and demonstrable failures. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

She pip at me.

But seriously, how fucking dumb do you have to be to run a dark money influence op on a professional influence op researcher and her influence op former reporter boyfriend? Just insane dummies. Vote Kat and she'll out this shit in Congress constantly.

Oh my god, a dark money group is paying people to attack Tim Onion. But they call me a "CEO of a major media company." Do not pay influencers to attack Tim Onion and his untold millions (or billions?) of dollars to attack Tim Onion without mentioning the GREAT deal you can on an Onion membership.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

ha ha WOW

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

Astute summation from @vermontgmg.bsky.social. "Instead, we have a government that has been repeatedly surprised by the most basic and foreseeable consequences of its own actions." I keep thinking of Eisenhower as well, and of Marshall.

“will not appoint people who give press conferences completely shitfaced” seems like a pretty easy commitment the next Dem candidate can make

kinda sad that we'll never know exactly how much money was lost on this indulgent brainfart

Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations. In my latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com (gift link) I describe Grammarly's terrible edits in my name -- and call for a federal right of publicity. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/o...

Meta spent seven years telling us they were working on true end-to-end encryption across all their various messaging apps... and finally rolled it out in 2024. And then less than three years later, they're shutting it off for Instagram? What? www.androidpolice.com/instagram-is...

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.

I agree @gregsargent.bsky.social, but I think we’re missing something important: the Secretary of Defense is panicking, we all can see it, & it’s quite unsettling to see. I don’t remember Rumsfeld ever showing the slightest bit of panic even when the war wasn’t going well. This guy? Full panic mode

Judge Boasberg blasted the Trump administration and Pirro: "In sum, the President spent years essentially asking if no one will rid him of this troublesome Fed Chair" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Oh wow, 14 months into the term you realized disaster relief might actually be important!?!?!?

NEW: JD Vance’s clash with Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church is escalating. On CBS, he accused Catholic bishops of supporting immigration because it “makes them money.” Cardinal Dolan later said on EWTN that Vance apologized. Now Vance tells the Washington Post that apology never happened.

Trump’s Meddling Threatens to Crumble Decades of GOP Dominance in Texas

Texas Republicans are the ones running the state, and they are not okay.

my first book (2020) was about online neonazis and my second book (2024) was about christian theocrats. they gained strength, voltronned and became a government. my third book (2027) is going to be a history of notable sandwiches so i hope this means we will be governed by sandwichocracy

¡Dios Mio! In five different rural majority-Latino counties, more votes were cast in Tuesday’s Democratic primary than for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Experts have warned that it is likely impossible to fully insulate consumers from the extra power demand coming from the vast expansion of data centers to run AI.

According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life. Netanyahu drew his red line at the UN nearly 14 years ago.

The Indiana House and Senate have both passed a bill to completely eliminate requirements for businesses to document the employment of child workers. If this bill becomes law it would enable employers to hide child labor violations, according to @epi.org.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

It is not too late to stop this mad rush into region-wide war. Take action by calling your representatives and saying “No War on Iran” and “No Boots on the Ground.” Get organized with neighbors and others to be in the streets.

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

the thing that the Democratic base cannot abide above all else right now is Handing It To Them and being anti-trans is, in fact, Handing It To Them don't do that, it's bad morals and bad politics

EUCLID AND HUBBLE HAVE GIVEN US A BEAUTIFUL NEW VIEW OF THE CAT’S EYE NEBULA!! 🌌

Could the press please, finally, learn this lesson: Everything these people said about Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, starting new wars—all of it—was false. Not because they meant the opposite, but because they're post-truth and say whatever they think gets them an advantage in the moment.

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

FORTY-SEVEN NEIGHBORS shackled and loaded onto this Global X ICE flight today at Baltimore’s BWI. There are four ICE flights a week now taking our Maryland neighbors to detention centers down South.

It happened at a time of his choosing
