Good evening. It's 6PM, Wednesday, 26th March. The headlines: A #security chat leak by a reporter has led to White House and US intelligence heads tackling the matter, with officials appearing at a hearing. In #Gaza, significant numbers protest against #Hamas. South Korea confronts lethal #wildfires, causing over two dozen deaths and widespread evacuations. Turkey experiences numerous detentions during continuing demonstrations against President Erdogan. #WhiteHouse #BBC #News


#WhiteHouse sez there's nothing classified in here, so Atlantic #Journalist invited to #NationalSecurity chat has published the thread #Signalgate

If #Democrats can't make hay here, after what happened with HRCs emails, they should all go home, sez me

The White House press room in 12 months, after they've been blamed, bullied & banned. US gov just wants to blame legacy media for their incompetence and for reporting it.

Editorial cartoon. The White House is decked out like a used car lot having a sale. There are flailing arm balloon people with "Own the libs" and "Own a Tesla" on them. There are signs saying, "Free Tesla! When you buy a $5,000,000 test drive with the president" and "Free access! To the president when you buy a $5,000,000 Tesla. There are two red Teslas on the front lawn with Trump sitting in one of them and poking his head out the window. The license plate on the Trump car says, "USA 4 Sale". The other car's plate reads, "POTUS 47". On top of the Capitol, the Tesla flag flies above the US flag, and Elon Musk is jumping up and down.

Trump administration issues nine demands to Columbia University to restore federal funding

The #WhiteHouse has demanded #Columbia reform its world-renowned Middle Eastern studies department and adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism

from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
By Areeb Ullah
Published date: 14 March 2025 13:31 GMT

"The university was also told to begin the process of placing Columbia's world-renowned Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership. This process requires an outside chair, who could be appointed by the government, to run the department for five years. "

"Other demands listed by the White House include a mask ban on campus, giving "full law enforcement authority" to campus security by allowing them to "arrest and remove agitators", and reforming the admissions process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. "

I'll bet you never knew there was a US law criminalizing peaceful #protests simply because of it's cause. Albeit, at times it HAS been against the law to speak against US war involvement at some times in it's history, and the US IS AT WAR with #Palestinians.

Trump, an E.V. Naysayer, Gives Tesla and Musk a White House Exhibition

President Trump has spent years bashing electric vehicles. But with Elon Musk by his side, he said he would buy a bright red one.


“It's all right there: the demand for deference, the obsession with money, the claims of corruption and dishonesty, the encirclement, the loud voices, the bizarre grievances, the underlying sense that a Jewish person does not fit and must be expelled.”
—Timothy Snyder, Antisemitism in the Oval Office

“Much of what the U.S. has given Ukraine were obsolescent weapons that would have been otherwise been thrown away. As everyone in the room in fact knew, what Zelens'kyi was wearing was meant as an expression of solidarity with a people at war. It was not so unlike what Churchill wore in the White House in 1942.”

Jackhammers have begun to remove the large yellow "Black Lives Matter" painted on to the street a block from the White House. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the change last week, which was made as a result of pressure from Republicans in Congress. The words will be replaced by murals, the design of which is as yet unknown. "The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress," writes @AssociatedPress.

#ICE arrests #Palestinian protest leader at #Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actions

Jewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest

from #TheForward #Forward
[#Jewish publication from #USA]

"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.

“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”

The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "

#ICE arrests #PalestinianActivist who helped lead #ColumbiaUniversity #protests, his lawyer says

By JAKE OFFENHARTZ
Updated 6:32 PM EDT, March 9, 2025

NEW YORK (AP) — "Federal immigration authorities arrested a #Palestinian graduate student who played a prominent role in protests against #Israel at Columbia University, according to his attorney.

"#MahmoudKhalil was inside a university-owned residence Saturday night near Columbia’s Manhattan campus when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered his apartment and took him into custody, his attorney, Amy Greer, told The Associated Press.

"Greer said she spoke by phone with one of the ICE agents during the arrest, who said they were acting on #StateDepartment orders to revoke Khalil’s student visa. Informed by the attorney that Khalil was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that too, according to the lawyer.

"The arrest appeared to be among the first known actions under President Donald #Trump’s pledge to deport international students who joined the protests against the war in Gaza that swept college campuses last spring. His administration has claimed participants forfeited their rights to remain in the country by supporting Hamas, a terror organization.

"When ICE agents arrived at the campus building Saturday, they also threatened to arrest Khalil’s wife, an #AmericanCitizen who is eight months pregnant, Greer said. The authorities declined to say why Khalil was being arrested, according to the attorney."

In the scheme of things, it is so small it will mean nothing, but I’m so fed up seeing hearing the horrific rhetoric from the putrid stain inhabiting the #WhiteHouse, I have to stand up do something, anything. I will not willingly support any US company, buy any US products from now on until the 🍊 🤡 is removed. I can’t do much about my phone & iPad, I can’t afford to replace them, everything else though - in the bin 🚮.


Senator #ChrisMurphy, #Democrat of CT and one of the most outspoken critics of the #Trump admin, told CNN on Sunday, that “it is absolutely shameful what is happening right now,” speaking about #Trump’s efforts to *end* the #war in #Ukraine.

“The White House has become an arm of the #Kremlin,” Murphy said. “The #WhiteHouse has been pretending as if Ukraine started this war. That’s essentially saying that #Poland invaded #Germany at the beginning of WWII. There are still #facts in this world.”

B/c the Mineral Deal essentially MEANT "security guarantees" due to US strategic/economic interest, as if a YUGE gas field in the region doesn't matter.😎

The "...#WhiteHouse blamed #Zelenskyy for the “meltdown”... claimed that they had communicated their position to #Ukraine beforehand, and senators also advised... to “not litigate the issue of wanting stronger security guarantees."

The #MSM has been toeing that 🤡 line since that golden escalator ride-along.

Thanks to them and #politicians enabling the weakening/perverting of #NewsMedia for decades (eg, re media ownership, #FauxNews), it will now be tougher, if not impossible, to hold onto their profession, our democracy.

This goes back to #Trump’s first term when Melania destroyed the traditional #WhiteHouse #RoseGarden – historians were pissed, so when the #Biden’s moved in they meticulously restored it.

Trump is so #petty, he has to undo EVERYTHING Biden did.

“He has told associates that he wants to rip up the grass in the Rose Garden, one of the White House’s most iconic & carefully maintained spots, & replace it with a hard surface to resemble a patio like…he has at Mar-a-Lago.
