Here’s the 5-year price chart for oil. That spike on the left is Putin’s. The one on the right is Trump’s. Without their wars, it’s a very steady line, the kind that businesses, investors and ordinary people like.

Economic chaos, environmental catastrophe and countless human losses that are just 'rounding errors' from a far-off distance for this White House. As always, Drezner with the call: open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy). The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month. Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030. That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail. Share:

"Let me be clear," when did debate coaches or political gooroos endorse using "Look," as a scolding, throat-clearing pivot in interviews, speeches and public speaking? I mean "C'mon man. . ." Do better.

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy? Just asking.

This.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social nutshells it.

The near-total memory-holing of Trump’s disastrous withdrawal from the JCPOA - literally, the central reason why Iran & nuclear weapons is still an issue in 2026 - from the National Conversation™️ is incredible, & not in a good way. The “better deal” never existed & still doesn’t. And here are.

Looking forward to your IRE or SABEW keynotes @pablo.show - meanwhile, would you (or squad) consider sharing any tools or tactics that dig deeply into social or text analytics?

It looks like, in general, Larry is running the surveillance side of this media empire, while David is running the propaganda side. I think Larry’s affection for David has convinced him the propaganda is worth more than it actually is.

Trump says this is not happening. Which is why he spent his State of the Union speech honoring sports teams and awarding military medals.

An outstanding profile and some sharp insights into "retirement". Enjoy a spring training grouper sandwich when you get to Fla, Mr H

Florida had a case of massive, massive Medicare fraud and they made the perpetrator the governor and then, later, a US senator.

Great reporting here from @gregsargent.bsky.social on the escalating danger of what ICE has become. 1/

Assuming no more identified fire deaths, that's 59K units and 5 deaths, so an 8.44/100K rate, or around x10 that of the Pinto. Significantly better than the article suggests, but still pretty terrible! And That's in 2 years vs. the Pinto's 10. Still time to fix those rookie numbers.

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today. Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.

The Supreme Court:

NEW: As expected, SCOTUS invalidates tariffs. Billionaires don’t like it when you mess with the markets. Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh dissent. Importers will now get refunds on costs they’ve already passed on to us, making the rich even richer.

The White House sent Trump to Georgia for damage control on the economy and health care ... instead he focused yet again on 2020 election denial. None of this bodes well for the GOP!

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything." And. Yup.

It would be a shame if all of you shared this.

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

We deserve leaders who speak the truth. Happy Presidents’ Day.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) reacted to Trump personal attorney-turned Deputy AG Todd Blanche discussing the DOJ's intention to appeal the judges decision releasing Liam Ramos. "Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?" he posted

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

Give this congressman a reporter’s notepad, a laptop and a deadline, because he’s a better-prepared interviewer than most of the journalists who crowd the Oval Office during those press gaggles.

It’s more than about fair elections. This is a tentacle of the white supremacy movement.

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

They want everyone to know it came from the top, that it's corrupt and anti-1A, and they like that. Because they don't have anywhere close to the capacity to silence everyone by force. So they use a show of intimidation to try to chill speech, and to try to raise their supporters' flagging spirits.
