Told ya. I said EXACTLY this: The White House will hide and censor any coverage of all the dead soldiers being flown back. Because the number is clearly already in the hundreds. So they "classify" it and continue to lie to the American people.

Luxembourg is the world’s first nation to offer free public transport for all, tackling traffic and climate change in one bold move.
Luxembourg has pioneered a bold new era in urban mobility by becoming the first nation on Earth to eliminate fares across its entire public transport network. This groundbreaking policy covers every bus, tram, and train route nationwide, offering free rides to residents, cross-border commuters, and visitors alike.
Financed through general taxation rather than ticket sales, the initiative was designed to tackle the country's severe traffic congestion—once among the worst in Europe per capita—and to sharply cut carbon emissions from road transport. By removing the cost and hassle of tickets, Luxembourg effectively turned public transit into a basic public service, as essential and accessible as clean water or electricity.
The impact has been profound and measurable. Ridership surged as people left their cars behind, leading to noticeably less road traffic, shorter commute times, and a meaningful drop in urban air pollution. While first-class rail options remain a paid upgrade for those wanting extra comfort, the standard second-class system is now truly seamless: hop on, hop off, no barriers.
Luxembourg's experiment has demonstrated that removing financial obstacles can drive a genuine shift toward sustainable travel habits. It has also served as an inspiring model for other countries and cities grappling with sprawl, gridlock, and climate goals. In an age when radical solutions are needed to address the mobility-climate crisis, Luxembourg proves that treating public transport as a universal right is not only feasible—it can be genuinely transformative.

US professors are changing what they teach, even far from Trump’s gaze — Rewritten syllabuses. Self-censored lectures. Stilted classroom discussions. Grant applications stripped of words that might infuriate MAGA censors , if they are submitted at all nytimes.com/2026/03/16/us/…

The fact the Marjorie Taylor Greene is outflanking at least 95% of democrats on this issue is genuinely insane.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's just wrong to make Americans think that every single Palestinian in Gaza was a member of Hamas. That's just not true. There were tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered by these bombs that were dropped on them. And now the same thing is happening in Lebanon."

They removed the word "racism" 109 times from a college textbook in Florida. They erased an entire chapter on Race and Ethnicity. They reduced Shirley Chisholm, a trailblazer who broke barriers for every Black woman who came after her, to a single footnote. You cannot erase racism by removing the word from a textbook. You cannot rewrite history by pretending it did not happen. Our ancestors BLED, marched, & died for the truth to be told. We will not be silenced! ✊🏿tampabay.com/viewpoints/202…

Denver just had its AOC vs Crowley moment. For the first time in 30 YEARS, Dianna DeGette LOST the Denver County Assembly by 33 points (66-33). Melat Kiros, backed by DSA & Justice Democrats, won the top line w/ a SUPERMAJORITY DeGette 3% from missing the ballot entirely.

Pretty dark that the family of a US crew member who died on a KC-135 has to run a GoFundMe to support his wife and three kids while Trump's son in law is out raising $5B in the middle east
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
NEW: Jared Kushner, one of the U.S. government’s chief negotiators in the Middle East, is working to raise $5B for his private equity firm from governments in the region, the New York Times reports. His team has already met with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which previously invested $2B in the firm. Corruption in broad daylight.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!
