Trump is unilaterally redirecting $1.25 billion in taxpayer money for foreign aid to his personally controlled "Board of Peace." This isn't even a normal U.S. government entity. It's a "public international organization" he created by executive order, naming himself as chairman for life. He gets veto power, picks the members, sets the agenda, & controls how the money flows, with no real oversight or auditing built in. Congress is supposed to control spending & appropriations. They're the ones who can (and should) stop this. If Republicans won't even ask questions about funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into a "board" Trump himself owns for life, I'm seriously done voting for them for a while. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

JD Vance: “We’re not interested in being in Iran 1 year down the road, 2 years down the road.” Notice how quickly the timeline went from “4 to 6 weeks” to “1 to 2 years max.” They know these endless wars are unpopular so they keep lying about the timeline & moving the goalpost.

It has been 10 days since Hegseth and Caine last briefed on Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, and no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the U.S. military has been doing from bystander videos than DoD. Historic lack of transparency and accountability.

NEW: When a California sheriff seized 650k ballots cast in the state’s recent redistricting referendum, he opened a new front in the battle over past election results. But who is Chad Bianco, and why would he want to challenge the results of a special election? Jen Rice breaks it down👇 bit.ly/3Q3ZC6c

💥On April, 7, 2018, when I was working for the LA Times, the IDF shot and killed photographer Yaser Murtaja on the Gaza border at noon, in broad daylight, as he wore a PRESS vest. I'm still waiting for the investigation @IDFSpokesperson Jonathan Conricus promised me then.

Israeli military spokesman justifies assassination of prominent al-Manar journalist based in part on the journalist's "incitement" against Israel and his reporting on locations of invading Israeli forces in his own country, in south Lebanon:

@tshugart3 @MalcolmNance Asia Times lol

I'm not sure I'd call it an "attack" but—other than the ongoing war—this should be the biggest story in the defense world right now, and maybe even in the broader media. The warning signs are all there, blinking bright red for all to see. 🚨🚨🚨 asiatimes.com/2026/03/sophis…

Child! Not just teenager. Child! And who starved him Sky? Who starved him?

Personally, if I didn’t want protesters outside my house of worship, I would probably not auction off other people’s land inside my house of worship.

🚨HOLY SHIT !!!!! Israeli politician Yitzik Kroizer says killing Palestinian children is normal if it supports the IDF mission. He adds there are no innocent children in the West Bank. Repost this. Please I beg you

Never ever forget Israel’s crimes Repost

@medeabenjamin “@SenRickScott Scott’s company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid. The Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company, which was fined $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history. politifact.com/factchecks/201…

Rick Scott says our trip to bring humanitarian aid to Cuba was “disgusting.” The policies he supports starve the people, block all fuel imports, and cause severe shortages in the healthcare system. We did our best to take all his questions, but it doesn't seem like he liked the answers.

i don’t recall a single trans athlete participating in recent games, but i do recall steven van de velde being allowed to compete in the 2024 paris games a few years back AFTER being convicted of raping a 12 year old girl in 2016

Thiago Ávila — flotilla activist from Brazil, remains missing after he was arrested in Panama while on his way home from delivering aid to Cuba

To be clear, the president’s views are those of a white supremacist and his own administration members say so. This should be the second-biggest domestic scandal in American politics (the first being Trump’s documented ties to a notorious child sex offender and trafficker).

In reality, the headline should read: “Israel tortured and starved Palestinian child, Walid Ahmad, whom it held hostage under administrative detention, without charge, in its prison.”

“It was America’s best ally that attacked the U.S.S. Liberty. We did nothing,” said USMC Staff Sergeant (retired) Bryce Lockwood, a survivor of Israeli strikes against the U.S.S. Liberty, today at the National Press Club, where veterans spoke against the new war in Iran. “The result? Israel realized they could do whatever they wanted, and US Congress, US government, would do nothing.” SSgt Lockwood does not accept Israel’s explanation that the strikes were a result of mistaking America’s ship for an Egyptian one.
