The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours. How long will legacy media keep doing this?

Step aside orange cats

We all have days like this

"This is what Trump does. He lights our national house on fire. He lets it burn for 15 minutes before he shows up with a fire hose. And then he demands a prize for putting out the blaze while the rest of us stand here in the smoldering ruins," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

RFK Jr. denies saying Black kids on SSRIs "are going to have a chance to go somewhere and get reparented to live in a community where there'll be no cell phones." Says: "I don't even know what that means"

There are good lessons to learn about voting, organizing etc. But I worry people will learn the wrong lesson about concessions. Orban conceded. Trump never will. We cannot get lulled into a false sense of security for 2026. More tomorrow…

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

This must hit so hard if you’re incredibly stupid.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

I really feel like we are at the dawn of an age in which truth, the simple facts of the matter, will be more valuable than ever and also less accessible than ever.

Realism vs. Reality

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

40 minutes into SCOTUS oral arguments about whether to ban postmark deadlines for mail ballots, someone finally pointed out that it’s desirable for voters’ ballots to count

Every time someone sets off fireworks in my neighborhood I rush to check the news to see if they’re celebrating that It Finally Happened.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

New via NYT: Paolo Zampolli, a former modeling agent and a longtime Trump ally who appears in the Epstein files, was in a custody battle over his son. He called ICE and told them his ex was in the country illegally. An ICE official agreed to help.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: Hegseth says 'family after family' of service members killed urged the admin to "not stop until the job is done." But the father of one of those service members says he never said that. "I can't speak for the other families. When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about."

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.

This is pure speculation; but if Trump says Iran wants to negotiate and he said no, that probably means Trump begged to negotiate and Iran said no.

"Things will go more easily for me when my billionaire friend controls the press."

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

“.. no announcement, no ceremony, no news cameras — just two employees on their routine overnight shift working while most of Washington slept.” @washingtonpost.com #J6 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:

Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/w...

This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.

93 million Iranians may also have opinions.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

FYI Markwayne Mullin is not A war veteran and never served

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ removed this photo from the Epstein Files. EFTA01230639. Note that this is undeniably Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick on Epstein Island. Also Lutnick testified under oath that he only went to Epstein Island with his wife and his kids. This is a bunch of men.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is exploring illegal options to nationalize the election. It’s not about whether he will or won’t, it’s about convincing his people that a loss, means an election was stolen. This is unacceptable. youtu.be/44Ea8LkcwD0?...

crazy to me that no one at youtube or google is ever even, like, asked about this stuff anymore, let alone pushed to take responsibility. regardless of whether a PRMC/moral majority-type campaign would be a good idea, is the respectable center really so anemic/captured that it won't even try?
