This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

When you leave for Indonesia in two days… I’m rich!!!

I’m trying to convince my institution that’s it’s worthwhile to be on Bluesky, so I volunteered to setup an account and posted at @soest.hawaii.edu. Please do me a favor and follow the account, share and like some posts before my meeting to discuss the account tomorrow. @joshuajfriedman.com

Higher oil prices, higher yields, no more rate cuts? No problem for US stocks reut.rs/3OGbyLd

Iran, yesterday: We closed the Strait. Trump, yesterday: We’re getting a cut of the Strait toll. Trump, today: They better not charge to go through the Strait. People keeping buying his BS. Every thing he says is a lie to spin his disaster. The point is that the Strait is closed!

Trump is so corrupt Tiger Woods was calling him for a pardon before he was even arrested.

Puerto Ricans were set to receive $1 billion worth of solar+battery systems under a program established by the Biden administration -- desperately needed on an island with a run-down grid, battered by severe weather. Trump axed it. Only 6,000 of 40,000 planned systems were installed.

Salvy teaching Doug Eddings the bottom of the strike zone. Over and Over and Over again. But Eddings refuses to learn. 😂

I had a weird fascination with Lou Pinella as a young kid because I thought his name was Lou Vanilla.

Whenever the stock market drops a percent, Trump TACOs. It’s amazing how obvious it is.

This makes the most sense as to why we went to war with Iran.

my god this is amazing

If you need a few laughs amidst this hellscape:

14 days until Opening Day

idk what to tell people anymore. the goal isn't competitive balance. It's franchise values. And they want a salary cap because capping spending makes their franchises worth more because it artificially restricts their costs. That's the entire thing. If they could do that without parity, they would

BREAKING Islamic Republic state media has confirmed that Ali Khamenei has been killed. HE IS DEAD!!! Long live the great, courageous, and noble people of Iran!

I know the “Any Other President” cliche is tired, but this isn’t normal.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Roundup made a huge donation to Trump, obvi.

Bill O’Reilly, Brian Dennehy, the CEO of Newsmax, and the original Leatherman from the Village People.

Great thread:

Countries now launching investigations linked to the Epstein files: France Turkey United Kingdom Poland Lithuania Norway Latvia Australia North Macedonia Sweden Countries NOT investigating the Epstein files: USA

I knew those ICE tactics looked familiar…

Having analyzed this frame by frame like the Zapruder film my verdict is the president did indeed have an Unidentified Ass Event at 0:34

CBS News is reporting that the ICE agent who abducted a Minnesota preschooler suffered internal injuries during the abduction.

It was ALWAYS going to be a vet with untreated PTSD.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

He’s had some insane press conferences. This is up there with injecting disinfectant.

The level of snark in this story is perfect…. And it’s a LOT of snark.

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

1) Convince Kennedy (or someone in Trump’s admin) that the insurance companies support Dems and the way to get back at them is to offer a pay-for-Medicare plan. 2) Call it Trumpcare 3) Actually fund Medicare and make it run better than private insurance

Even more evidence we’re in a secret Cold War with whales.

WAR might be the most controversial stat in baseball. I’m so glad it’s in politics now too.

I’ve never seen anyone try to spin math.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

When Kamala Harris proposed this — literally this — on the campaign trail, he called her a communist.

In the ‘90’s, I thought AI would produce Skynet. It’s closer to Teddy Ruxpin.

The most corrupt organization in the world gave the most corrupt President in history a prize.

Every time I see Don Jr. talking about making deals, I think of this guy.

How many hellholes are there in the U.S. now? I’ve lost track.

This'll be in 2028 ads

My health insurance premiums nearly tripled - from $61 to $205 - thanks to Trump’s BBB.

God, I love this song.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Brandon Nimmo is the first millionaire to flee Zohran Mamdani's Communist New York City

Oh the irony of complaining about the Fed interest rate on a daily basis and then forcing through a bill that will keep the Fed from lowering the interest rate. #trumpisagenius

Growing up on Long Island, this is like a recurring nightmare of mine going to a new gf’s house for a family’s BBQ.

I agree with Trump for once!
