NHK: Water cooling suspended for nuclear fuel storage pool at Fukushima Daini plant

"...Tokyo Electric Power Company says an alarm went off at the Daini plant shortly before 3 p.m. on Sunday to warn about an abnormality with the pump that circulates cooling water for the storage pool at the No.1 reactor.

TEPCO says workers saw smoke rising from the pump and shut down the equipment shortly after 3 p.m., suspending the cooling function. It says a backup pump at the reactor is currently offline for inspection...."

NYT reporting: Some active-duty Marines are already calling Mr. Hegseth’s agency the “Department of War Crimes” rather than the “Department of War,” the president’s name for the Defense Department, said Representative Seth Moulton, Democrat of Massachusetts, who served in Iraq as a Marine.

35 days of Iran war could've funded Mamdani's proposed city-owned grocery stores for 800 years.

Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

"We're going to bomb them back to the stone age -"

The president said.

"Where they belong."

And there was anger in his voice when he said this, it was not a joke, or hyperbole. Although, no one really believes he will do anything he says, I do think this is what he really *feels* and I don't get it.

Why? Why do the 93 million people who live in Iran 'belong' in the stone age? What did they do to the USA to deserve such contempt and violence?

The #Senate on Thursday sent a bipartisan funding deal to reopen #DHS back to the #House, which convened for a 2-minute session & took no action to pass it. The Senate’s bill to fund the agency is now formally back with the House, & the #shutdown will continue at least through Monday, when the chamber will hold its next session. The plan would have funded DHS through Sept 30 but omit money for #Trump’s #immigration crackdown.

French President Macron offers blunt advice publicly to US President Trump: “You have to be serious. When you want to be serious, you don't say the opposite every day of what you said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn't talk every day.” https://www.france24.com/en/macron-says-unrealistic-open-hormuz-strait-force-urges-trump-be-serious

Senator Mark Warner: "But I fear that foreign interference is no longer the most pressing danger to our elections. It is increasingly evident that the greatest threat now comes from inside our own government." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/o...

Opinion | Trump Is Trying to O...

A reminder that non-citizens can serve in the armed forces, and many do. But somehow even that isn't enough to be safe from ICE fascists. A reminder that MAGA was never about "legality." It was never about "supporting our troops." It was never about "national security." MAGA was always about advancing white nationalism and fascism. Absurd.

No way he has the patience or stamina for this. He’ll either fall asleep or leave. Possibly both.

JUST A REMINDER:

"Prince Andrew"... the third most mentioned name in The #Epstein Files... appears 3,160 times.

Second place goes to Woody Allen at 7,122 times.

First place goes to Donald T***** at OVER ONE MILLION TIMES. 😱

That's not just another client.

A strategic masterclass: Iran’s oil income has doubled since Feb 28. We get the battlefield optics, they get the cash. This is exactly what happens when you improvise a war just to distract from the Epstein files. Truly, a “victory” worth paying for.

I realize that trump's death will not change anything but my mood but it will impact my mood quite favourably.

@heidilifeldman May the judges in charge of Nuremberg 2.0 be diligent in their endeavours.

Raw Story:
‘Unreal’: Trump directly called out for alleged market manipulation by unlikely source

That the U.S. war against Iran had devolved to the point where a senior Iranian official was not only calling Trump out on alleged market manipulation, but offering financial advice to Americans, left many observers floored.

Does God want America to kill as many of our enemies as we can—in as violent a fashion as possible? We have a defense secretary who apparently thinks so. https://trib.al/MK2ydOq
