@charlie_savage @nytimes Interesting.
The midterms are not even here yet, and they are already rushing to put Trump on a circulating $1 coin and commemorative gold coins.
You could wait until after the midterms.
Unless deep down you know that confidence may not look the same once voters speak.

The Treasury Department is hurtling forward with minting what will now be three different coins with Trump's picture on them -- a $1 that will circulate and two commemorative 24k gold ones nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

It infuriates me each and every day seeing the *direct effects* of Trump's policies making everything more expensive getting a fraction of the blame in the media Biden received due to things *completely out of his control*

It is painfully obvious with the USA. Every time the economy’s done great, jobs created etc. we vote m for Republicans who ruin everything. First Bush, then Trump. And it will happen again in the future. In the end, Fukuyama was right.

i think a lot about @DouthatNYT 's decadence thesis these days. Perhaps humans are bound to screw up stability and prosperity?

The standard response to all letters like this sent to Congress is to impeach and remove that cabinet member.
Dr. Brian L. Cox@BrianCox_RLTW
This should be standard response to all letters sent from Congress to @SecWar from now on: "As Sec'y of War, I do not work for, or report to, you in Congress, [Rep] [Sen] [sender's name]. For additional information, refer to Art. I, § 8 and Art. II, § 2 of the US Constitution."

He's not wrong.
I support deporting illegal immigrants, especially criminals.
But I said a year ago... You can do this stupidly, or do it humanely.
They chose the former, and the public responded.
A humane system would've been more accepted, and more successful.

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

America’s infrastructure is falling apart, and you cannot afford to buy home
But we’re going to spend another $200 billion in the Middle East
Absolutely insane
The American Conservative@amconmag
Pete Hegseth on reports that the Pentagon has requested an additional $200 billion to sustain the Iran war: "It takes it takes money to kill bad guys... We're also still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created which was depleting our stockholds."

The war is justified since there won't be American deaths.
Oh, Americans died?
Well, now the war is justified because we can't let their death go to waste.
Heads, the state grows; tails, the state grows.

The term “escalation trap” is now spreading.
Our community is already ahead of it—understanding not just escalation, but the logic driving what comes next.

Blaming Israeli PM Netanyahu for Trump’s decision to wage a war of choice against Iran is a cop-out. It gives Trump deference he frankly doesn’t deserve.
Yes, Netanyahu has wanted to see the Islamic Republic collapse for decades. Yes, he tried to convince Trump to do it—and based on public reports, Netanyahu used some faulty reasoning to make his argument more appealing (like the claim that the regime’s demise would be short and sweet once the Iranian leadership was destroyed).
But I expect this from Netanyahu. He’s trying to sell his long-standing policy to a guy, Trump, who has far more military power than Israel does.
Ultimately, Trump gave the order. Netanyahu doesn’t control the U.S. military. He doesn’t control when the U.S. does or doesn’t go to war. Trump does. So the buck stops with him.
Trump has agency of his own. He owns the consequences of his actions.

Good material for the new fraud czar to look at
Kenneth P. Vogel@kenvogel
Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 people convicted in fraud cases. At the same time, he says he is waging a "war on fraud." Those granted clemency included allies & donors. Those targeted in the "war on fraud" include Somali & other immigrants. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

A $620M loan from the Pentagon for a single startup is insane. This is one of several companies getting federal loans or huge contracts where Trump Jr. is a major investor. That's OUR money.
On top of that, the Commerce Dept (under Howard freaking Lutnick) is taking a $50M equity stake in the same company. Again, that's OUR money.
We are not the CCP. The U.S. government should not be an "owner" of private business. But again, this is one of many companies the U.S. government now holds equity in (e.g. Intel).
It shouldn't be legal for taxpayer dollars to fuel handouts for family members.
Obviously, we need to change the laws to prevent anything like this from happening ever again. But the fact that Congress is allowing this is sickening.

Breaking: The President's son is on a heater Donald Trump Jr's fund invested in one of the only U.S. rare earth magnet startups at a $200M valuation Three months later, the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620M loan and the Commerce Dept took a $50M equity stake In February, Trump announced a $12B rare earth strategic reserve Today, the company is now valued at $2 billion. That's a 10x for Trump Jr in under a year Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet factory outside of China. The U.S. says it needs to stop relying on China, which controls 90% of global rare earth processing The timing is either the greatest coincidence in investing history, or it isn't

What a profoundly evil man.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@ReichlinMelnick
OMG. Steven Miller is personally picking adjudicators who he thinks will move to strip refugees of their status?! That is an unprecedented level of interference from the White House, and a chilling way in which government can be weaponized.

This is a bullshit take that I keep seeing
I am not rooting for my team to lose
We have already strategically lost
The morons who can’t admit this obvious fact are drawing us deeper into a crisis that will wreak our ability to defend actual national interests

@TheOneCA2021 @Batat_Lib @mattparlmer The people pearl-clutching about it want the US to fail, and so anything less than perfection gives them something to piss and moan about. That's all it is.

Kind of amazing that in all of this, the US is also still physically blockading Cuba, creating an energy crisis on the island.
Christiaan Triebert@trbrtc
After 10 weeks of a U.S. oil blockade, Cuba's grid is near collapse. Russia may be sending a lifeline: a state-owned tanker full of crude. But a Chinese-owned tanker, spooked by U.S. threats, abandoned its Cuba delivery and is now looking for a buyer elsewhere. w/ @jacknicas
