I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Today before Senate.

Sometimes when I feel rough, I walk to the Lincoln Memorial and read his second inaugural

REMEMBER: They all knew.

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

The Justice Department is ignoring its duty to comply with oversight requests by Congress. This is EVERY OUTSTANDING REQUEST with no response or insufficient response by Todd Blanche’s Justice Department.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

NBA teams were 4-750 when down by 20 or more in the 4th quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 years. They are now 5-750. Knicks come back from 20 in the fourth quarter, the second time they've come back from down 20 in the fourth THIS POSTSEASON.

Fox News carries Raskin's entire opening statement in which he ticks through the Trump administration's egregious corruption and extremism

How come Biden was "sleepy" but Trump gets to pass out on TV everyday?

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

No powerful person in my lifetime has degraded American discourse and vilified, dehumanized and demonized those who disagree with him more than Donald Trump. He and his sycophants are blaming the left for the world they themselves built, and their complaints should not be given a moment's credence.

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app Mrs. Betty Bowers is an extremely popular account and has been around social media for years and years. What the hell are you doing?!

Every once in a while, when I see/hear media about yet another cruel, insane thing and think *How are We OK with this?…it occurs to me that the people who most need to see/hear facts and reality…are just not…and until we figure out how to reach them…nothing is going to get better for very long.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

I'm am a Poll Judge and I can attest to the fact that there is NO FRAUD!!!! Don't let them push this nonsense!!!! Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

Oh... my God. My first tweet to be stolen by the President of the United States 😅

All of this because we didn’t throw Trump in prison for trying to overthrow an election.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Nihilism — or just Idiocracy come to life. Either way, it’s insane.

The editor of The Economist already knows Tucker Carlson's views can be "abhorrent" but is keen to "understand" them and I am struggling to understand why that's a good reason to give a clickbait shock jock who has normalized white supremacism top billing in the world's preeminent news magazine.

To quote the SNL cold open from last night, "A promise is just a lie that hasn't happened yet" youtu.be/dj-RQ1Y-Dgk?...

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Shouldn’t there be a disclaimer on every story/post citing some bold new claim that Trump has just made about something which points out to the reader that every one of them later inevitably turns out to be bullshit?

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Your daily reminder that not a single epstein client has been arrested.

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

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

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way. www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...
