Be the path you want to see and see that future come to be. Yet, march of fascism on an alarming rise — tightly wrapped in suffocating flags of demise — with unfurled sword & battering shield — full of repressive authority & rank autocracy.

This is a lie Trump has been telling for years, not a fact just brought to his attention. Dozens of countries use mail-in voting in some form. They include: Canada elections.ca/voting-by-mail UK gov.uk/apply-postal-v… Australia aec.gov.au/FAQs/postal-vo… Germany verwaltung.bund.de/portal/EN/info… Switzerland #when-to-vote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ch.ch/en/votes-and-e…

Trump: It was brought to my attention today that we’re the only country that does mail in voting. I call it mail in cheating.

These are the members of BOP's "After-Action Review Team" that arrived at MCC after Jeffrey Epstein's death. This is the team that a corrections officer reported was shredding files. (An inmate reported one of the men had a Southern accent) ://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article315131144.html

@marklevinshow You quoted the 9/11 Report—but left out its most important conclusion on page 241: “We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack.” STOP DISTORTING 9/11 TO SELL YET ANOTHER WAR. THE TRUTH MATTERS, MARK.

The Air War College asked @KoriSchake not to give a scheduled lecture on civil-military relations—a subject that she writes is “extremely relevant” in the current political climate. Here’s what she would have said: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

Senator Wyden found JPMorgan Chase failed to report over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. He asked Treasury Secretary Bessent for the records. Bessent refuses. DOJ is blocking the files. Treasury is blocking the money trail.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "You've got a lot of people here in Congress who under the thumb of AIPAC and other special interests. The bottom line is that to give another 20,000 bombs to a country which committed genocide in Gaza, happens to be among many other things - forget the moral issue - happens to be a violation of American law. You don't sell arms, according to American law, to countries that violate international law and human rights. Clearly Israel has done that."

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

Dude's like "Trump should have known this war would be hard because people tried to warn him not to listen to me." Motherfucker THIS WAS YOUR WAR. You were THE "bomb Iran" guy! You made it your entire personality for DECADES. Over the years I've used your name God knows how many times whenever I needed an example of a Beltway swamp monster who's got a throbbing hard-on for war with Iran. Now you've finally got it and it's going exactly as badly as everyone said it would, and you're like "Yeah well he should've known better, people tried to warn him about the Strait of Hormuz"? Fuck you. These professional warmongers never, ever learn from their errors. Many years after the Iraq invasion turned out to be a disaster, John Bolton was still out there telling the media he believed it was a "resounding success," conceding only "mistakes that were made subsequently" to the ousting of Saddam Hussein. They never admit they were wrong. They never admit that their war was a bad idea. They only ever acknowledge that it didn't happen in exactly the way they imagined it happening in their minds. They live in this fantasy world where all their war agendas would unfold beautifully so long as they could personally control every molecule of matter involved in how it happens, completely ignoring that this is impossible and any war is always going to have an unfathomable number of moving parts you can't control. In their eyes the wars are never wrong, they're only ever executed incorrectly. US military interventionism can never fail, it can only be failed. Bolton doesn't even seem to have any idea what Trump could have done differently to stop Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz. I listened to an NPR interview the other day where he slammed Trump for not having "done the planning in advance" to prevent the Iranian blockade, but he never at any time outlined what Trump could have done to accomplish this. He just said there was "a huge hole in the planning" and that "they apparently didn't take as seriously as they should have the potential to mine the Strait of Hormuz," without ever saying what they could have done. He doesn't know. He himself, Mister Iran War, had no plan for how to carry out this war without disastrous consequences for the US and its allies. He's spent his entire blood-soaked career pushing for a war he never had any idea how to actually carry out. These are the kinds of minds they have spearheading the US empire's wars. All the worst people are getting exactly what they want, and it turns out they don't even want it, like Elon Musk tweeting "Whoever said 'money can’t buy happiness' really knew what they were talking about" last month. They're getting everything they asked for and it's making everyone miserable, and it's not even making THEM happy. The imperial status quo elevates the worst among us. The least wise. The least insightful. The least compassionate. The least deserving. The least qualified. We need drastic revolutionary change, and we need it now.
John Bolton@AmbJohnBolton

In 2018-2019, I made the case for regime change in Iran as often as I could. Voices in Trump’s orbit often cited Iran’s capacity to close the Strait of Hormuz as a reason against regime change. Trump has been fully aware this is a possibility, and yet did not prepare.

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

A president should not put his name on another man's memorial. He should not hang a banner of himself on the Justice Department. And he should not put his face on a coin. This is un-American.
Charlie Savage@charlie_savage

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/…
