Middle East war creating ‘largest supply disruption in the history of oil markets’, as Brent crude hits $100 again – business live

"MAHA is asking the right question: How do we make America healthy again? But they've come to the table with answers that are not rooted in evidence." On this week’s “More To The Story,” @jessicamalaty.bsky.social examines how RFK Jr. is dismantling America's health policies:

Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"

Trump says he doesn’t believe it’s “appropriate” for Iran’s soccer team to play in the World Cup and suggests they probably shouldn’t—for their own “life and safety.”

"This fault lies directly on Trump and Hegseth" -- Sen. Andy Kim points out that the Trump administration gutted the budget for the DoD's "civilian protection center," which could've helped Hegseth and company not bomb an elementary school in Iran

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

How many more Americans are going to put up with Trump’s lies? Impeach and throw him out of this country. Send him to the worst prison on earth!!! Don’t re elect any in office. Vote is the only way to do it!

Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop talking about the Epstein files. Don’t stop.

New Pentagon budget reports show Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in one month, making it the highest monthly expense since 2008. This budget report included spending $2 million on Alaskan King Crab.

This is silly and false. The only operators of Tomahawk missiles are the U.S. Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Navy. Iran has no Tomahawk missiles. If it did, it’d have no way to launch them.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Even Reagan reported the truth of Social Security.

Trump pick for State Department drops out after drawing heat for comments about ‘white culture’

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms. This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.

Marco Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and Rubio is on the witness list. My @vanityfair.com story on the legal bomb that's poised to go off in Trumpland. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

While Americans struggle with real issues, Republicans are wasting time on a voter suppression bill that would block millions from voting. They're not trying to save America—they're trying to save their power. Call your MOC: #HandsOffHerVote

A masterclass by @davidjbier.bsky.social on how to maintain your composure and principles in the face of people unable to do either. We don't need to yell or mock because the facts, the law, and common decency are on our side, as David made apparent before someone unfit to hold the seat he's in.

TSA absences double during shutdown, 300 officers quit, as some airports see longer security lines.

Post-9/11 veterans say the U.S. strikes on Iran feel like the opening chapter of a war they thought was over.

Trump’s pardon of anti-abortion activists who harassed and threatened clinics and patients has created the sense that it’s “open season” on providers across the country. @kbeccaandrews.bsky.social reports on what one North Carolina clinic reveals about our endless abortion wars.

Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.

Documentary on Dinosaurs on Netflix is fantastic. That’s how our future will end I predict.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

UK preparing aircraft carrier for possible Middle East deployment

Armageddon talk inside the military. The Iraq playbook resurfacing. Drone warfare rewriting the rules. A fragile economy. And measles quietly coming back. This week’s Saturday Covfefe connects the dots.

Trump is not a man remotely bothered by mass death. He simply does not care. Again, such insouciance might not be new when it comes to America’s thirst for war. But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.

Still sounds better in the original German though

More destruction by Trump. Fight back! Protect the natural beauty of the USA

Marco Rubio is a total embarrassment

“In a single moment, nearly 30 years of my life were taken away from me." A mother attended a green card interview—and was deported less than 24 hours later.

CNN's Dana Bash: "I asked Trump about rising gas prices. He said, 'That's alright. It'll be short term. It'll go way down very quickly.' I said, 'They're pretty high now.' He said, 'No they're not.'"

I’m Cuban American. For the sake of both countries, Trump’s siege must end | Danny Valdes

Literally insane. He is mad. Completely mad.

Gonna start a second war to distract people from the first one.

John Oliver Exposes X: How Musk's "Free Speech" Experiment became a Misinformation Cesspool.

Enten: "It's the weakest Donald Trump has ever been with independents. Look at this drop! At this point a year ago Donald Trump was at -13. Look at this -- minus 47 points among independents! The lowest Donald Trump has ever been in either of his two terms."

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that -- negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 -- minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

Do it!
