@peterbakernyt @sisario Why are they honoring this loser whose career started with women in bikinis on trampolines? The guy is a political hack playing a lousy comedian.

Karoline Leavitt, Friday: "Bill Maher will NOT be getting this award."
Kennedy Center, today: Bill Maher will receive the Mark Twain Prize.

@LahavHarkov With folks like Trump and Markwayne in positions of power we’ll take all the moral voices we can get
English
@bhpbbp For being a comedian, yes. For the moral voice of the country, a role he constantly acts like he inhabits, no.

I don't have an opinion about Mullin in his new job.
But I do know that Jimmy Kimmel is a two-time college dropout whose big break came from ogling braless women as they jumped on trampolines, so I don't really see how he has the high ground here.
CJ Pearson@Cjpearson
Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

A fun corruption hack is to have your supporters sue the govt for something done under Biden, then immediately give them a huge settlement since you control the Justice Department.
Perfectly 'legal' and can be done an unlimited amount of times. Money printer for loyal goons.
Zoe Tillman@ZoeTillman
NEW: DOJ has reached a financial settlement with Michael Flynn, the conservative activist and former Trump adviser who sought millions for what he alleged was a politically motivated prosecution. No $ details in court notice today, more to come buff.ly/ccz6Hj3 Prev: buff.ly/sWZrlKV

Just FYI that MEU is going to be “moving away from Iran’s strike envelope” as well.
Idiots.

🇺🇸 Both U.S. carriers have repositioned, according to Chinese satellite analysis from MizarVision. The USS Abraham Lincoln has moved from approximately 350km off Iran's coast to a position near Salalah, Oman, now more than 1,100km from Iran, sheltered behind the coastal mountain range. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also shifted further south in the Red Sea, now operating off Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Both carriers are moving away from Iran's strike envelope. Whether this is operational repositioning or a response to the threat environment, the direction of travel is the same.

When Trump does Lawfare there’s a mountain of evidence the defendant is innocent.
When Biden gets accused of lawfare there’s a mountain of evidence the defendant is guilty.
And if it wasn’t immediately obvious the run at Powell was 100% political, you need to detox from the cult.

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
Acyn@Acyn
Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

I can’t believe they actually called it “Homes are for People, Not Corporations”.

It's the terminally online news junkies who are detached from the actual reality.
We've been manipulated by algorithms and politicians amplifying the worst of humanity. Our feeds and screens spread a twisted, inaccurate view of America.
Axios@axios
Most Americans are too busy for social media, too normal for politics, too rational to tweet. They work, raise kids, coach Little League — and never post a word about any of it. This isn't a small minority. It's a monstrous, if silent, majority. axios.com/2026/03/11/ame…

@ConvexityCowboy I think social media person wanted to flex their story telling / writing skills to make it sound cooler - as they probably do countless times and no one cares. This time the did it on a politically charged topic - and the whole world pointed attention at it.

What do the media even gain from this kind of bias?

HOLY SHIT The original CNN post was just "two guys were out on a nice walk, when suddenly their lives were changed forever, when they started throwing bombs" You can't make this shit up

Massive US Treasury intervention in oil futures and options today @Rory_Johnston
Rory Johnston@Rory_Johnston
No doubt a day for the oil market history books. Nearly $35/bbl of intraday crude price chomp is wild. And this is far from over yet.

@bhpbbp @HayekAndKeynes So “trusting” that they elected a central banker with a history of engineering despotic credit systems….

America is now a low trust society
Mass immigration & the subsequent rise of identity politics have made us hate each other and distrust our own government

@HayekAndKeynes Canadians are very trusting according to that chart and yet 20%+ are foreign born.
English
@bhpbbp You can see it by state. More homogenous = higher trust. Also about race. No recent immigration in the south but also lower trust - racial differences & identity politics are the cause, IMO.

@frequent53 @HayekAndKeynes Come on this is just population density… Montanans don’t lock their doors because there isn’t another human around for miles.
