Trump can muster the words to tell us how he lost the war but not why we went to war. apnews.com/live/iran-wa...

The rapist n chief!!!!

They’ve always called women “difficult” when we refuse to be silent. Good. We are. #SheShed #WomenHistoryMonth

#NoKings Cincinnati, Ohio. Protest matters. This will help to get us through.

Thank you, Cincinnati, you showed up! NO KINGS NO ICE NO WAR 👊

Snyder is in Cincinnati 👇🏼

Tim's over here just governing like a normal person

Vivek Ramaswamy's "real plan" is just a series of terrible ideas that would screw Ohio families. Our state needs a governor who will lower costs for working families, not a corrupt billionaire who changes his positions every other week because Ohioans are rejecting him.

Cats are much smarter than us. They know when to look away for awhile. Sammy is my heart. And he’s the boss. Taking a kitty timeout, my friends.

This is how all my nightmares begin now

WASHINGTON—The hottest and most exclusive MAGA status symbol is a pair of leather oxfords. The cult is fearful Don Corleone will catch them without the Fuhrer’s shoes. www.wsj.com/style/fashio...

This level of incoherence about things that matter would generate a call for removal in every other major institution in the Western world other than the American Presidency.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.

Anyone who believed this was not paying attention.

The profit from President Biden’s management of the Strategic Oil Reserves was $2 billion which went toward the deficit. The US purchased oil for about $75 a barrel then sold it at $95 a barrel. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Weasel face Scott Bessent will be yammering about how he digs oil wells.

Yes, things are extra terrible but the local horticulturist released his hellebores this week. These jewels are in the ground! 🥂

This is an excellent explainer of MBS’ calculus and his desire to avoid a Saudi vs Iran war. Dr. Bernard Haykel, professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton, explains why this is the most likely outcome. Bloomberg gift link:

The Dow is going down hard tomorrow. Scott Bessent will be annoying us all, no doubt.

Police in Norway are investigating an explosion that damaged an entrance to the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. No injuries were reported. We now have a permanent target on our backs.

Trump's disastrous new war has already spun out of control. The damage it is going to do to the US and global economies is going to be significant. My latest 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trumps-dis...

A self inflicted recession is coming. The Fed only has one lever and can’t treat both symptoms with it. We are screwed.

The people in Hungary are showing that they have enough of Orban.

“This is not a war that has been thought through at all.” — Bernard Haykel, professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton This interview is very much worth your time. (And that’s a gift link ⤵️) www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Congrats to TX Dems! Great talk on how we’re organizing in TX. @kendallscudder.bsky.social is not wasting money on consultants. He’s pooling efforts with other orgs in the state so efforts and energy aren’t wasted. So just very uplifting to see that he gets it. And congrats to Hopium too! LFG

Trump is a titanic f*ck up. Last two inflation reports showed inflation re-igniting, even before the prices shocks that are starting due to his new Gulf War. Here's PCE 5/

We shall not see the likes of the great Reverend Jesse Jackson again. He leaves us with a legacy our state will never forget. Rest in my power, my friend.

Bill Clinton: Jesse Jackson could talk an owl out of tree. 🤣

Rev Al Sharpton: We gonna fix these tricks in ‘26! And march through the gates in ‘28! We didn’t come this far to turn around now!

President Biden at Rev Jackson’s memorial: RISE UP AND FINISH THE JOB! 🇺🇸

“Keep hope alive “ Thank you Jessie Jackson

Tears of joy. RIP Jessie Jackson. We are better for you and keeping hope alive.

Just as the meeting was scheduled to start, a top customs official informed the court that his agency was unable to comply with the judge's directive earlier this week to use its existing system to generate automatic tariff refunds. www.reuters.com/world/us-jud...

Kuwait cannot store any more oil with exports halted. Saudi Arabia and UAE are also running out of storage space. Operations will take several weeks to bring back online, so prices will keep going up and will not come down quickly as Trump has claimed. www.wsj.com/business/ene...

My brother-in-law is lost to the cult. After his son did 2 tours in Iraq, he sat up and said that this war is something that had to be done. Like it’s Obama’s fault! And he’s not a veteran btw. I told him he was wrong, so he started his evangelical patrimony. He got my worst eye roll and I left.

Now Senate can put hold on Mullin until Dems DHS demands are met

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

China’s government has told the country’s largest oil refiners to suspend exports of diesel and gasoline as an escalating conflict in the Persian Gulf disrupts the arrival of crude from one of the world’s largest producing regions

Man fuck this shit

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Chaos at Dallas polling places tonight. I'm supporting Talarico, but if these polling hours aren't extended after the issues earlier today - and at the hands of Ken Paxton no less - that is incredibly unfair to Jasmine Crockett.
