This is a good reminder that John Roberts is exactly who John Lewis told us he was.

In 2016, JD Vance suggested that Trump could be “America’s Hitler”

Still not seeing many posts about the May Day Strong general strike and protests next Friday. We need to change that.

WE HAVE A CALIFORNIA PRIMARY PROBLEM Attention California voters and friends. Watch this, share it. Folks need to understand how our jungle primary can screw us if we’re not paying attention. There’s no separate Dem vs. Republican primary. It’s one pool, top two advance, period. Problem is, the Democratic field is crowded, so the vote is getting split. Meanwhile, two Republicans are leading. Do the math. If we don’t get our shit together, we could end up with two Republicans and zero Democrats on the general ballot. The bluest state in the country… goes red.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

nobody gets angrier than a man being accused of something he actually did LMAO

JUST IN: The most irreversible consequence of this war is not happening in Tehran. It is happening in a barn in Iowa. A farmer is standing over a kitchen table looking at two seed catalogues. One is corn. One is soybeans. Corn needs 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen costs $610 per ton on the CBOT March futures settlement as of yesterday, up 35 percent in a month. Soybeans fix their own nitrogen from the atmosphere through root bacteria called rhizobia. They need nothing from the Strait of Hormuz. The farmer is choosing soybeans. Millions of acres are choosing soybeans. And once the planter rolls into the field, the choice cannot be reversed until next year. USDA projected corn at roughly 94 million acres for 2026, down from 98.8 million. Soybeans at 85 million, up from 81.2 million. Those projections were published February 19, before urea surged past $683 at New Orleans. The actual shift will be larger. USDA Prospective Plantings reports March 31. By then the seeds will be in the ground. This is the transmission channel the world is not watching. A 21-mile strait enforced by provincial commanders with sealed radio orders just rewrote the planting economics of 90 million acres of the most productive farmland on Earth. Not through sanctions. Not through diplomacy. Through the price of a single molecule that corn cannot grow without and soybeans do not need. Now follow the cascade. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol annually. That consumes roughly 43 percent of the entire US corn crop. The mandate is set by the EPA. It does not flex when corn acres shrink. It is inelastic demand consuming a fixed share of a declining supply. When supply tightens against a fixed mandate, the remaining corn reprices upward. Corn above $5 per bushel compresses every margin downstream. The US cattle herd stands at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low per USDA NASS. Poultry and pork operations face compression from higher corn prices. Feed is the single largest cost in livestock production. When feed reprices, protein reprices. When protein reprices, every grocery shelf in America absorbs the increase. This is the protein cascade. Corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the checkout counter. Each link tightens because the link before it tightened. The originating cause is a urea molecule that cannot transit a strait because a provincial commander’s sealed orders say it cannot. The farmer did not start this war. The farmer cannot end it. The farmer responds to the price on the screen and the biology of the two crops in front of him. Corn needs the molecule. Soybeans do not. At $610 the arithmetic is settled. The planter rolls. The season is locked. Israel just authorised the assassination of every Iranian official on sight. The US has spent $16.5 billion. South Pars is burning. The Fed is holding rates because oil inflation will not break. Gold touched $5,000. Bitcoin is bleeding. China is running exercises near Taiwan. Sri Lanka shut down on Wednesdays. And underneath all of it, a man in a barn is making the decision that determines whether four billion people pay more for food this year. He has never heard of the Mosaic Doctrine. He does not know what a sealed contingency packet is. He knows what nitrogen costs. And he is planting soybeans.

Let me get this straight. The federal government held a legal auction for the right to build offshore wind farms. A company won those auctions fair and square, paying nearly a billion dollars into the U.S. Treasury. The projects went through years of review. Courts repeatedly upheld their legality. Everything was above board. Then the Trump administration tried five separate times to kill other wind projects in federal court and lost every single time. Judges reviewed the administration’s supposed “national security” justification and weren’t persuaded.  So now they’ve landed on a new plan: pay the company nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of your tax money to just walk away. Because, and I am not making this up, the president thinks offshore wind turbines are ugly and claims without evidence that they “drive whales crazy.”  He’s been nursing this petty grudge since 2012, when he tried to block a wind farm visible from his golf course in Scotland. Fourteen years later, American taxpayers are footing the bill for it. This is stupid policy. It’s fiscally reckless, strategically blind, and driven entirely by a personal vendetta rather than any coherent vision for American energy or competitiveness. Meanwhile, China is racing ahead, building offshore wind at a staggering pace and positioning itself to dominate the global clean energy economy for decades to come. None of this is America First. nytimes.com/2026/03/17/cli…

This is Cherise Doyley. She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet. Then a tablet appeared at her bedside. On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff. She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had. Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks. It didn’t matter. And here’s the part people should pay attention to. The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate. A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor. A judge decided how she would give birth. This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized. And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida. Read the full @ProPublica investigation. “A judge decided how she would give birth. That’s legal right now. Should it be? #ReproductiveRights #DemsUnited

They warned everyone. They warned everyone. They warned everyone.

Netanyahu: I need $19.8B Trump: Approved Hegseth: I need $1.5T Trump: Approved Argentina: We need $40B Trump: Approved Qatar: We need an Air Force Base in ID Trump: Approved Average Joe: I lost my job. My wife got cancer. Can we get Medicaid? Trump: No.

Trump’s war is costing about $2 BILLION a day. That’s the same as: • 270,000 Pell Grants helping students afford college • A full year of rent for 143,000 families • Nearly 4 years of the 988 suicide crisis hotline • 3+ months of WIC nutrition for moms and babies • 29 days of breakfast and lunch for every public school kid in America • All the humanitarian aid the U.S. gives the UN in a year • A year of free preschool for 110,000 low-income kids • A month of SNAP for nearly 10 million Americans • A month of Medicaid for nearly 3 million Americans

New Pentagon budget reports show Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month, making it the highest monthly expense since 2008. This budget report included spending $2 million on Alaskan King Crab.

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES IT SEEM LIKE PEOPLE IN AMERICA DON'T FULLY REALIZE HOW FUCKING SERIOUS THE TRUMP DISASTER IS 🤷

This huge yacht is owned by Jeff Bezos but this is not the yacht he sails on This is his “shadow yacht” for his main yacht. This yacht just sails alongside his larger yacht for additional supplies These are the people telling you not to drive gas cars because of climate change

Right now the Dow has dropped over 1,000 points. If that holds, it will be the 14th time in history it happened. Donald Trump was President 12 of those times.

BREAKING: A district judge has ordered the Democratic primary in Dallas County to remain open until 9 p.m. tonight, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins just told me. The delay comes in response to hundreds of voters being turned away for going to the wrong locations.
