@dlippman Maher is about the last person that should receive the Twain prize. Not clever, not funny, just wanna-be iconoclastic stuff.

"After this story was published, the White House called the Kennedy Center, and made clear that Maher would not receive the [Twain] prize. ... Karoline Leavitt also then sent us a statement: 'This is fake news. Bill Maher will NOT be getting this award.'" theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

They talk openly about settling Lebanon and it barely makes headlines.

This is the only thing you need to know.
Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding.
That’s why there are long lines. ICE.
Brian Schatz@brianschatz
We are enthusiastically willing to pay TSA workers today, and we will keep trying, but the sticking point is that Republicans want to attach ICE funding to it. We are not in agreement about ICE, but I don’t think workers and travelers should have to wait for an ICE deal.

Trump and Trumpism are ridiculous, as well as criminal
USA TODAY: "President Trump signed an executive order to ensure the only college football game played the second Saturday in December is between Army and Navy."

The sheer irony of Hegseth simultaneously asking for a $1.5 trillion military budget and criticizing Iran for "investing in missiles instead of investing in their people" x.com/Acyn/status/20…
Heck in *that very same briefing* (!) Hegseth also defended asking for an additional $200 billion for the Iran war, because "it takes money to kill bad guys" (youtube.com/watch?v=3yQz4f…) 🙄

Look up Trump’s antisemitism czar Yehuda Kaploun in this database — you’ll find he disclosed a $100K loan last year from Miriam Adelson, along with crypto holdings and charity work tied to Viatcheslav Mirilashvili, Russian-Israeli co-founder of VK, Russia’s largest social network
ProPublica@propublica
New: Our database paints a detailed financial picture for President Donald Trump and hundreds of his political appointees, some of whom have ties to the industries they regulate. The disclosures include their recent employers, assets and debts. propub.li/4b44YFt

This is what happens when an expansionist, apartheid regime is granted impunity by the UK, EU, and US.

Perfect timing for all the American car companies that bascially threw in the towel on EVs.
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
WOW. Just in the last two weeks, BYD showrooms around the world are seeing a surge in customer demand from people who are deciding that now is the time to switch to EVS, with oil prices so high. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In a sudden turn of events, US 12-month inflation expectations have surged to 5.2%, the highest level since March 2023.
In just 3 weeks, markets have gone from pricing-in rate cuts to rate hikes.

@Aviation_Intel Kinda sounds like US military operations testing drones and drone detection
English
I have spent a good part of my career just getting people to believe this was actually happening. Now we are here. With 15 drones, you can lose roughly 1/4 of the B-52 force as it sits idle on the ground. This was always the most concerning scenario. Time to move to hardening. Just a matter of time now till we learn the hard way.
Hey, Dave!@davegreenidge57
Barksdale AFB was hit by multiple waves of drones over a week’s time. The base houses numerous nuclear weapons.

Rogin: This is the most unpopular war in American history, and for good reason. And the longer it goes on, the worse those numbers are going to look. There is no instance in history of prolonged war benefiting any nation.
Jennings: How do you know it’s going to be prolonged?
Rogin: That’t the story of pretty much every war ever
Jennings: We haven’t had a war since WW2
Rogin: I think the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan generations would take issue with that

The White House’s proposal for a nationwide AI law is a thoughtful document that will serve as an excellent foundation for the legislative work ahead. I would be happy to see these principles, if translated well into statute, become law. Congratulations to those involved!

🚨 Two suspected Iranian spies have been arrested after attempting to enter HMNB Clyde, Britain's nuclear submarine base yesterday (19 Mar, 2026).
Armed police swooped on 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman. Their car was searched by sniffer dogs for explosives.

@KevinRobertsTX @Heritage China seems to be doing quite well. So kinda ambiguous
English
The unambiguous lesson from @Heritage’s 2026 Index of Economic Freedom remains the same: Everywhere people are free to compete, innovate, save, and invest, nations thrive. Everywhere they’re not, they don’t. foxnews.com/opinion/trump-…

How Israel uses AIPAC to direct US policy ⬇️
Stephen McIntyre@ClimateAudit
The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.
