He's psychotic. Literally.

Dad mode isn’t so fucking funny now is it

We don't need logistics we have warfighters

it's not like the US attacked them during the last talks and then launched a decapitation strike, right

The supply chain procurement people are all panicking but the traders are fine. It's probably fine.

Put the people who did this in prison. After the trial and process which they denied to others.

The important thing to know about Bret is that he has literally the worst takes of any major pundit

This could be true and it would still be a disaster.

*to the tune of The LEGO Movie music* 🎶 everything is stupid 🎶

It would still be murder if we were killing drug traffickers in the Caribbean, but is everyone confident that they are all really drug traffickers?

“.. He fought back tears as he explained what was there before: two wooden shelters, an outpost to make cheese, sheds for his equipment. The horse paddock was spared, but the chicken coop was gone.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

Important article that calls into question: 1) Nature of U.S. role in this operation 2) Identity of the target 3) Conduct of U.S. partner force

NEW: The US and Ecuador claimed they bombed a drug trafficking complex in early March. A @nytimes.com investigation found it was actually a dairy farm. From Ecuador: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

Iran could be lying, but if we want to disprove that it would presumably be easy to show evidence of the negotiations.

When we send people to be cabinet secretaries, we’re not sending our best

It’s a deceptively simple analysis: Does their party control the WH? If Yes - no Congressional authorization required Does any other party control the WH? If Yes - Congressional authorization required

Definitely. Like, I have no idea how they could possibly read the constitution, the federalist papers, or histories of the era and come away with that view, but they do!

“we’ll just do a neat little Venezuela in Iran, and voila” *economies everywhere crash and conflict spirals without path out*

UHHHHHHHH

I’m having difficulty understanding when if ever a declaration of war by Congress is in fact required on this Administration’s view.

Trump definitely running the federal government like one of his businesses…

"the country had about 45 days of fuel supply left." chat is that bad? www.bbc.com/news/article...

"The ancient Greek historian Herodotus believed the greatest danger to powerful nations was not external enemies but hubris." Apropos of, you know, nothing in particular.

I genuinely think the market manipulation is secondary to the president lacking object permanence

that feels like something you say when you're wearing a wire

“Despite the pause, it’s unlikely that the United States or Iran will be able to find compromise for a solution, Mattis said.” Don’t worry, the Wall Street folks heard from Trump that everything is A-ok so we are good

GEN. MATTIS: “.. Iran right now, if we declared victory, they would now say they own the strait. .. You’d see a tax for every ship that goes through. .. We’re in a tough spot, ladies and gentlemen. .. I can’t identify a lot of options.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I was going through my photos from March 2020 and found this meme I saved…

“.. A similar pattern was observed in oil markets.” @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2026/03/23/v...

Newest in my Epstein investigation: A man who was one of Epstein’s key sources of cash has a lot of questions to answer.

“He lied to us about COVID resolving quickly, but surely this time he is telling us the truth.”

In two weeks?

Are any career officials willing to go out and affirm the Admin’s statements about negotiations?

If you had to put money on it, do you think Iran is lying or that Trump is lying?

“Now, we just need a plan.”

Not sure if he cares the market drops back, his people got theirs

the president lying about high level peace talks taking place with the country were at war with, all to juice the stock market, is a gigantic scandal but also its just kinda another monday

“.. Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote on X that “No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped.” @apnews.com

This will keep his approval ratings heading in the same direction, but faster.

True as long as we're in the liminal space where the market isn't yet absorbing real, unavoidable collapse of production related to physical flows through Hormuz. At that point he loses the ability to do this.

A couple probably get their news from ginni’s shared Facebook post links

"No negotiations have been held."

SENIOR IRANIAN OFFICIAL TO REUTERS: U.S. HAS REQUESTED A MEETING WITH IRAN'S PARLIAMENT SPEAKER QALIBAF ON SATURDAY, TEHRAN HAS YET TO RESPOND

So did Trump happen to order the thousands of U.S. Marines to turn back around or are they still headed over there to invade Kharg Island and fight for control of Hormuz as originally planned

It doesn’t increase the chance of a claim of a stolen election if the loser is Donald Trump. The odds of Trump claiming that an election was stolen after losing is already at 100%, no matter the circumstances.

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.
