Trump borrowed more than $50 million from Charles Schwab Bank last year. But what we don't know— 💰️ why he needed the funds 💰️ how he used the funds 💰️ what assets he pledged as collateral 💰️ the exact amount he borrowed 💰️ when it's due ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @danalexander21.bsky.social for Forbes

Here we see @stevevladeck.bsky.social vindicated again bsky.app/profile/prop...

I've been profoundly aware of urban design the last couple of days: how parks and trees on streets make the city tolerable in these temperatures.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

Key Biden-era regulations designed to protect our drinking water from the most dangerous cancer-causing substances have been removed by the Trump administration. This decision will impact at least 105 million people — or nearly 1 in 3 Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

At least 2 US ambassadors to Ukraine have experienced Trump’s corruption and Kremlin treason scheme first hand; both have resigned one after another. If your diplomats are sounding the alarm that your head of state is a turncoat, under normal circumstances that would be a trigger for an inquiry.

The US midterms are the equivalent of a lifebuoy; you are still at risk of drowning but stand a better chance overall. If you blow it or they manage to steal the election again, then you could be facing decades of dictatorship thereafter. Whatever you are doing, double or triple it. It’s pivotal.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

"We were given wormy food, and when someone spoke out about it and said that the children should get better food, he was taken in the middle of the night and threatened that he and his family would be separated."

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

Why does Trump want to increase the defense budget by almost 50%? Because he sees it as a payoff to the guys who will help him establish his dictatorship of convenience.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

Zelenskyy: "We have confirmation from my intelligence that Russia shared and shares intelligence ... Russia helps Iran"

Trump claims that if the SAVE America Act is passed, Democrats "will never win another election"

Quiet. Part. Loud.

Congresswoman details 'unbelievably inhumane conditions' at massive detention center #RawStory

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Screaming at the top of my lungs: The Founders saw a free and independent press as a fourth and necessary check against government power, one that could check them all. Any government against a free and independent press is against the very essence of American democracy.

NYT follows. @nytimes.com @ewong.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/u...

Everyone needs watch this and understand what’s happening here. For every dollar Democrats raise, Republicans are pulling in five. That’s not a debate point, that is the battlefield. 🧵

Exactly

Read other letters from kids detained at the Dilley detention center:

WATCH: Fourteen-year-old Ariana spent more than 45 days at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. In January, we asked detainees whether their children would be willing to write letters or draw pictures about their experiences. Listen to Ariana tell her story: 📽️ @joannashan.bsky.social

ICYMI: A whistleblower complaint alleges John Solly claimed to have stored highly sensitive Social Security data on a thumb drive. Solly and Leidos, his current employer, strongly deny the allegations. www.wired.com/story/john-s...

So we finally get some truth from them

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

Yes. Something has been “off” since COVID. We learned to put people in the “it’s alright if they fall by the wayside” category. We started with the disabled and elderly, and we’ve reached bombing kids “over there”. There’s still a way to go before the bottom too.

Most people don't realize how much of the U.S. immigration detention system is run by private companies and how much money is involved. 🧵

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Who put this MFer in charge of the world?

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

"The U.S. spent 20 years and trillions of dollars replacing the Taliban with the Taliban. Trump replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei in just 9 days. The most efficient U.S. president ever." Iranian Political Analyst Ali Alizadeh

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly? BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing! K: You don't think it's hyperbolic? B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Or sadism.

“We’re just hiding them in a parking garage somewhere..." www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

The U.S. military disputed President Donald Trump's claims about an airstrike that killed at least 175 people at an Iranian elementary school.

This is what a war of choice looks like. Oil fires flooding a city while the world watches in horror. Trump didn’t inherit this war. He chose it. And now the consequences are burning for everyone to see. This is what "America Last" looks like.

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day $900 million a day

A number of European countries will likely break their sanctions on Russia and buy oil from them as a result of US and Israel’s actions in Iran that have closed off oil shipments. This will be a serious blow to Ukraine; the longer the US and Israel illegal war lasts the stronger Russia can become.
