Top defense officials push back on concerns about U.S. munitions shortage – The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/04/us-iran-air-defense-missile-burn-rate/
I seem to recall some folks on the MAGA right being opposed to us building a new munitions plant because it would be sending (selling, through US purchases) munitions to Ukraine.
Steve Toth unseats Dan Crenshaw in GOP primary
https://www.texastribune.org/2026/03/03/texas-dan-crenshaw-steve-toth-republican-primary/
I see Republicans haven’t changed.
«Toth is among the Texas Republican Party’s most conservative members who have repeatedly questioned the commitment of leadership and Gov. Greg Abbott to the GOP’s values. The Conroe Republican framed the race as a referendum on the future of the Republican Party, an effort that garnered support from several conservative leaders, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Turning Point Action.
Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL currently in his fourth term, is a conservative in his own right. Since being elected to the seat in 2018, the Houston-area Republican has made barring federal funding for gender-affirming care and targeting Mexican cartels a focus. His endorsements include leading conservative organizations such as the National Rifle Association and a swath of local elected officials.
But Crenshaw has clashed with Republican allies over several issues, including his support for Ukraine aid and the 2020 election results, which he voted to certify. Crenshaw was the only Texas Republican incumbent in the House who ran without Trump’s endorsement.»
Trump Administration, in Reversal, Tries to Continue Fight Against Law Firms – The New York Times

I’m pretty sure Donald Trump is our incel-in-chief.
“What? You’re reversing my position? NO! Get out there and fight!”
Sarah Mock on MAHA
«…the reason I bring up MAHA is because its ag/food-focused flank did not arise by accident. To me, it makes perfect sense that after years of being villainized, infantilized, excluded, insulted, and made into a straw-man whenever they simply tried to participate in honest and open discussions about how and what food/fuel/fiber is grown where and by whom, that eventually some of those who have been shut out (the vast majority of people, notably) would begin coalescing into a bloc of their own, whose main unifying trait is having been denied a seat at the table.»
American sympathy shifts toward Palestinians and away from Israelis: Gallup poll | AP News
Anthropic CEO says it cannot ‘accede’ to Pentagon’s demands for AI use | AP News
«Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s top spokesman, said earlier on social media that the military “has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement.”»
Fine. Put it in the damn contract.
Allam sends cease-and-desist letter over new Foushee ad | Raleigh News & Observer
This is horseshit. Allam’s ads have been claiming for weeks that Foushee has corporate funding she no longer has, and somehow the N&O hasn’t noticed enough to write a headline about that?
The Bernie Sanders candidate’s campaign is willing to lie to that degree? No thanks.
Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency – The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/02/26/trump-elections-executive-order-activists/
Well… There had better be 14 (or 50+14) lawsuits ready to go the minute this hits the ground. We can’t have the courts running in slow motion on this one.
