Btw, though: Things shouldn’t have to hit rock bottom for y’all to get some sense at the polls.

Black women now hold three statewide constitutional offices in Georgia: governor, secretary of state and attorney general. Keisha, Penny and Tanya. 💙

Democrat Scott Colom pulls ahead of Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith by 7,000 votes in Mississippi, per Decision Desk HQ's tally. 93% of votes are counted. About 15,000 affidavit ballots are among the outstanding vote totals.

GOP Vice Chair Blake Moore: "Our Republican priority will always be to put government ahead of Americans."

In an Orange County, Florida courtroom, Judge John Jordan looked at a Black woman before him and asked, “Have you ever chopped cotton?” He followed it with, “That’ll straighten you up,” reaching for the history of plantation field labor while deciding a Black defendant’s fate. She was in court on a felony battery case, facing community service, and instead of modeling impartiality and respect, the judge invoked imagery tied directly to the enslavement and exploitation of Black people. That is not a harmless joke; it is a reminder of who has power in that room and how casually our trauma can be weaponized from the bench. Jordan’s comments triggered a formal ethics case. The state’s judicial commission found that he violated the Code of Judicial Conduct and is recommending only a public reprimand, which he has agreed to accept, while allowing him to remain on the bench. So the result is this: the system agrees his words were wrong, but is still asking Black defendants to trust a judge who sees “chopped cotton” as a way to “straighten up” a Black woman standing before him.

A source sent me this photo of Kash Patel’s customized Nike’s. The shoes feature a number 9 (Patel is the 9th FBI director), a Punisher skull (a vigilante killer from Marvel Comics), and his personal logo (K$H). The backs of the shoes show the FBI motto: "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity". Patel was photographed wearing them at an FBI Academy event that featured UFC fighters.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

Kash Patel confirms UFC fighters will train FBI agents this week, calling it a "historic opportunity' deadline.com/2026/03/kash-pa…

This is a fact that cannot be overstated. We are currently playing out the exact pattern that has toppled every dominant power for centuries. Internal struggles and war drive the economy to the brink, then their position breaks. The Dutch, the Spanish, the British, now us.

Rogan: Nothing seems stable. Everywhere in the world seems fucked right now. In all my years, this seems the most unstable, globally.

Hegseth on striking oil depots: "Those weren't our strikes or objective. Israel has different objectives." Translation: Israel uses US cover to bomb whatever they want, and America pretends it wasn't them.

Washington Post reports that referring to the US war against Iran as "Operation Epstein Fury" is antisemitism...

GOP Sen. Husted: People living in poverty are just not very... um... experienced at navigating the real world

I respect people who can save money by eating at home. If I have a bad day at work, I’m picking up food. If I have a good day at work, I’m picking up food to celebrate. If I make my own lunch, I’m still picking up food for dinner since I already saved money on lunch.
