scrutinizing the rapidly accelerating environmental travesty (data centers warming an already hot planet), do ya think fossil-fuel dickbags and power companies would want to absorb any additional costs? hell no.

increased consumption redounds to their benefit. and consumers can suck it.

Regarding Todd Blanche: It is probably a good time to recall that he literally ordered up the kidnapping of the Mayor of New Jersey's biggest city.

The absurdity of the Iran war is epitomized by the Trump administration’s decision to partially ease sanctions on Iran and Russia, allowing both countries to rake in huge profits.

Russia is set to earn three times more per month from its energy resources.

The medical examiner in Buffalo has ruled that the death of a nearly blind man left alone by Border Patrol agents on a frigid night was a homicide, a finding that could lead to criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/nyregion/rohingya-refugee-buffalo-homicide-medical-examiner.html

Four-byline alert: 🚨

“.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.”

It would be nice if anywhere in the eight paragraphs of this story the WP mentioned that this is illegal and not how things work. The president can’t “sidestep” Congress on funding and payments.

As President Trump rejects a deal to fund TSA and fix airport lines, Republican lawmakers should simply pass a bill and force him to veto it. bit.ly/4t5rDbT

I thought the point was to clear the lines faster? Not just stroll aimlessly with guns and body armor around already-stressed fliers?

COLLINS: Who's idea was it to put ICE in airports?

TRUMP: Mine. That was like the paperclip. Do you know the story of the paperclip? 182 years ago a man discovered the paperclip. It was so simple. And everybody that looked it thought, 'Why didn't I think of that?' ICE was my idea.

NEW ORLEANS: "[ICE agents] literally just walking around in groups of three and four, seemingly without any true purpose...They’re wearing tan vests that say either 'ICE' or 'federal agent.' They are carrying sidearms. But they’re just casually walking around carrying bottles of water and Gatorade."

Congress, Republicans and Democrats together, presented a deal to Trump to end the airport nightmares.

Trump rejected it. He's demanding the SAVE Act be passed as a condition. He's also sending ICE to airports, though it's unclear what exactly they'd be doing.

America. 2026.

Ironically, sending ICE thugs to police airports really makes the case that DHS funding should be held up. The President shouldn’t have an unaccountable masked militia he can deploy to harass citizens at will.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re just weeks into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Everything is for sale.

Chris Murphy: "The treasury secretary just said 'we're gonna escalate in order to deescalate.' It's like they've never read a history book. That's exactly what our leaders said in the middle of Vietnam, in the 20 years of mismanagement in Afghanistan. We need to end this war."

this should have really just been stopped immediately at "Jared" and asked "why is the president's son-in-law conducting foreign diplomacy when he has no role in this administration and has not been confirmed by the Senate to any position permitting him to engage in it?"

Donald Trump wants to spend $1 billion of your tax dollars to drive up your power bill, by killing new energy projects.

Let that sink in.

I know Rutte has a tough balance to strike, but he's pretty unimpressive IMO.

just a special nation where the treasury guy is in charge of defense, the defense guy is in charge of the bar, the vice president is in charge of Twitter nazis and the attorney general is in charge of tracking the stock market

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna give Iran $14b to fund this war with the US? We're gonna give Russia billions to fund their war with Ukraine? We're literally putting money into the pockets of the nations we're fighting. We've never seen this level of incompetence in war-making in this country's history"
