The Iran War has drained America’s strategic petroleum reserve to its lowest level since 1982.

Did ya know Marco Rubio's brother-in-law had a $75M drug ring? And now— "Rubio is helping carry the torch for a now decades-old U.S. foreign policy: claiming to fight drug trafficking while in fact tolerating, protecting, or even cooperating with…the criminality Rubio purports to be concerned with."

good lord Honda is writing off ALL its EV manufacturing investments in NORTH AMERICA! Ohio, US - gone Ontario, Canada - gone. Cancelling its EV lineup of Honda 0 SUV, the Honda 0 Saloon and the Acura RSX. www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/strategy/hon...

Samuel Alito has recused himself from a Supreme Court climate case, after ethics watchdogs uncovered his fossil fuel stockholdings. Instead of relying on the justices to occasionally do the right thing, we need Congress to enact real SCOTUS reform.

Google has started updating satellite images of Gaza. Holocaust. (📸 Barry Andrews MEP, European Parliament)

“we are witnessing a rare, very possibly once-in-a-lifetime political liar” Credit to Daniel Dale for this deep dive into Trump’s lies, the topics he lies about most; why MAGA loves the lies & the impact of the press failure to consistently fact check Trump. www.cnn.com/2026/09/27/p...

who gives a fuck what the hologram wants? is everyone suffering from a series of brain injuries

do actors in movies actually die? they at least behave as if they do

Outrageous. Let’s see the few republicans to speak up actually blame Trump here instead of “bad advice”

Bodycams won’t fix this, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Abolish ICE.

so yeah i’m still masking in crowded indoor spaces

Trump is suborning national policy to his personal financial interests. It's happening right in the open for all to see.

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

Grok is the biggest AI deepfake porn and CSAM creator in the world. This is not an isolated incident. I've have people message me about their UA daughters being victims with Grok being the technology behind the abuse. At what point will Musk be held accountable?

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

When I said JD Vance’s racist lies about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio sounded like inciting a pogrom, that isn’t a word I use lightly.

Correct your priors: Private money is going after clean energy, governments are using public money to prop up fossil fuels "About 59% of all money spent on the fossil fuel system came from taxpayers in 2015. By 2025, that climbed to 68% and spiked at 78% in 2022." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It’s a real renters market in Sacramento rn I’m seeing buildings that were developed 5 years ago offering rents below what they were offering when they first opened. Building housing works.

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

The Trump administration may be going after the Southern Poverty Law Center now, but make no mistake, this attack affects everyone. The point of prosecuting SPLC or others that make the president angry is to send a message: Fall in line or pay the price.

Waiting for the NRA to say “the only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun"

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

Meanwhile… roughly one-third of respondents – equivalent to more than 82 million Americans – said they have had to cut back on at least one daily living expense to cover their health care bills,… www.cnn.com/2026/03/12/h...

Remember when Trump kept promising that NO tax dollars would be used for his ballroom because he already had $400 million in private donations? So I guess one of the impeachment investigations will be, "what happened to the $400 million in private donations?"

not sure if gets more Empire In Decline than a disastrously unpopular mentally decayed president — who different people of notably different political stripes keep trying to murder — as he is badly losing a horrifying foreign war he started on a pack of lies, won’t stop obsessing over a “ballroom”

you're gonna have to be more specific

NEW: Raskin, w/ 50 House Dem co-sponsors, formally introduces a bill which would create a commission to assess Trump's fitness for office under the 25th Amendment. Bill text here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Story TK

By the way, don't let anybody tell you that the lesson from "Viktor Orbán became deeply unpopular and lost by a landslide despite his attempts to establish a rigged 'illiberal democracy'" is actually "Don't worry about wannabe authoritarians"

this is called "doing something"

Good to know the US is ending its 47 year conflict with Iran. Not sure the Iranians, the region, or the rest of the world are seeing it that way (or Americans for that matter).

They have very obviously stolen our data - and we must prosecute this theft, as far as possible, as soon as their enablers are out of power. And ensure that no private enterprises are allowed to resell that stolen data.

I've written before about how USAID was the first government agency killed by conspiracy theory. This confirms it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More: https://ow.ly/PPyh50YITax

"In Hungary, they failed to fully bring the media and internet under control," said Russian propagandist Solovyev while analyzing the elections in Hungary. And I will say it again - democratic elections took place thanks to independent media, journalists, and bloggers.

Yesterday morning, the Mirror reported on how ICE's own data shows how overcrowded this Mesa facility has been -- and how ICE hid that from congressional Democrats in February. Last night, three of those Democrats showed up unnanounced and were horrified by what they saw.

Laws don’t matter unless they’re enforced. Our civil rights don’t exist if there is no penalty for violating them.

We’re entering the “travel restrictions on political opponents” phase of fascist takeover.

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:
