Trump’s name went up on the Kennedy Center in broad daylight. Removing it? Full scaffolding plus a giant curtain to hide the humiliation from the public. Nothing screams “strong leader” like draping theater curtains over your own petty rejection. Fragile ego on full display. 😂

The Trump admin: Tariffs don’t raise prices on American consumers. Also the Trump admin: We are going to reduce the tariffs on (product) to give some price relief to American consumers!

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

Trump is done. He needs to be removed from office. He’s compromised, unwell, and unfit. Call your Republican reps and tell them it’s time. He’s an albatross. Cut him loose.

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals. Two of the officers targeted are Black and two are women. The highly unusual move has prompted some senior officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender.

This really proves this was a coordinated plan by Republicans to create an airport crisis by jamming TSA agents while cynically claiming in their messaging campaign that Dems were to blame. Republicans used airports as their negotiating leverage.

Re ICE agents at airports: www.ajc.com/business/202...
About 64 ICE agents were reportedly deployed to the Atlanta airport.
AJC reporters at the airport have observed them milling about, but not actually doing much of anything.
“They can’t do anything. They’re not trained,” said George Borek, an American Federation of Government Employees union steward representing Atlanta TSA employees.
Borek said immigration agents he’s spoken to said they weren’t sure why they were there or what they were supposed to be doing.
Important to note: ICE agents are getting paid. TSA agents are not.

$1.5B in a single trade made 5 minutes before Trump’s announcement yesterday. Who made it?
Tweet from unusual whales: BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

2 points on Trump's media capture: 1. Fascists don’t need to turn all news outlets to their side. They win if major outlets are simply too weak to tell the truth about them. 2. Fascists don’t need to make you believe them. They win if they pollute the news so much that you don’t believe anything.

What a paragraph. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...
Treasury Secretary Scot Bessent said that to calm the markets, the United States was thinking about releasing more from the Strategic Oil Reserve, which the administration had failed to refill to capacity in the run-up to the war. But more strikingly, he has discussed suspending sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea — in an effort to free up roughly 140 million barrels — as another way to tamp down prices.
