Sure seems like the Texas GOP pulled an Alabama 2017 in their senate race.

Well, sure seems they're settling on this message, which I'm sure will work great against Talarico's anti-corruption focus.

So...oil prices are falling...just because?

THE POINT OF A UNIVERSITY IS THE LEARNING NOT THE DEGREE

What if taxing the rich works?

This is likely an outlier, but the guy in my neighborhood that flies about 6 dofferent types of right wing flags in his front yard did take down his Trump 2028/MAGA flag last week.

Netanyahu's government is about to fall apart, so he has every incentive to not align with Trump on Iran.

High state capacity is awesome

We literally fought a revolution for the right of due process

"Our deal is the exact opposite but nobody has seen it" What on earth is he saying?

By every stated objective by Trump, the United States lost this war if it agrees to the MOU

$25 billion for an MOU that they may negotiate while Obama got them to stop their nuclear program for about $1.5 billion. Thanks Obama

"I got it right" Is what a person recounting this story would 100% say, rather than, you know, giving the answer

Hey @tompepinsky.com did you catch Weird Al wearing batik last night on the last show of Colbert?

You know how we have poll aggregators? We need betting market aggregators so we can see where the inside trading is going on with major potential events.

What an incredible burn/indictment

A reminder that Kamala Harris, by all data available, was a well above replacement level candidate.

Baseline view that the Strait of Hormuz soon opens: 🤡🤡🤡

Its pretty clear no one likes Weiss because everyone around her is constantly letting her get blindsided

All McConnell had to do was whip people to convict on Jan 6th and this wouldn't be happening

This is also how you explain to people why you aren’t going to prom

Philip Jennings has had it rough

Music algo just gave me Maps (YYYs), Human (oMaM), Lazy Eye (Silversun Pickups), and Rebellion (Arcade Fire)

Yes, keep doing stupid things that will make you even less popular.

This is a brilliant metaphor for the median voter. Completely unaware of systemic factors and only interested in their immediate wants.

it's getting annoying how much of American politics is driven by people who are basically house cats in regards to policy; they are completely unaware of the support structure that fills their food bowl and only interested in knocking things down or chasing laser pointers

Just once I'd like one of this reporters to ask "If you don't need Congressional approval to build it, then doesn't that mean the next president can just tear it down?"

If I stop posting about early 2000s pop-punk you know I've been hacked by the Russians

It turns out the GOP starts getting a spine as polling against their party leader approaches 30%.

You think inflation is bad right now?

Who knew that other countries have agency? Also, Trump is getting played. The longer this plays out, the harder it will be for the US to get things back to the status quo ante

“Up to 70% of rooms reserved by Fifa in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been cancelled, the AHLA said” www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I don't want to create an account with your company, I just want to buy the one thing.

When Trump dies the NYT headline will be something like 'Trump Tests Limits of Life' or 'Trump Dies, Experts are Divided'.

According to this poll, Republican approval on the economy dropped 15 pts in a month. That seems enormous and, given we're not close to a resolution to the Strait of Hormuz, things will be worse and should spell an absolute catastrophe for the party in the fall.

"Among Republicans, 73 percent approve of the way Trump is handling the economy, while 24 percent disapprove." @gelliottmorris.com how far off the norm is that for an incumbent because that seems quite bad

"tests constitutional limits"

echoes of Four Seasons Total Landscaping

Multiple reports saying Republicans are pulling the ballroom funding from the reconciliation bill (!)

Yeah, they're about to pull the trigger on Cuba. I wonder if Cuban officials are watching betting markets to learn when the helos are about to take off.

The success of capturing Maduro is going to result in more quagmires. Cuba is not Venezuela in many ways how Iran is not Venezuela. If all they want is Castro, they may get that. But the regime will not simply fold and suddenly enter into a corrupt relationship with Trump like Venezuela

Seriously, what is wrong with investors' brains? They lack any ability to update or recall

"We essentially took over Iran." Reality would like to disagree

Don't threaten me with a good time

This is why he should be impeached so no one else thinks they can get away with being so delusional

So basically the CIA was me my sophomore year in college

Hang it around their necks like a bell and keep ringing it

I'm really disliking 2026

How can this even be characterized like this? The Justice Department has lost any and all independence. There is no "agreement". It is the looting of the public treasury and the destruction of the rule of law. Pure tyranny. The sins of George III look petty.
