Republicans used to favor stability to promote investment. Now, it's chaos, day after day.

What can we do? Register and vote. Anything less than a Dem landslide will likely result in the collapse of American democracy. And the installation of Christian extremist theocracy. Vote.org

How humiliating. @economist.com www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

A strategic masterclass: Iran’s oil income has doubled since Feb 28. We get the battlefield optics, they get the cash. This is exactly what happens when you improvise a war just to distract from the Epstein files. Truly, a “victory” worth paying for.

I went to Morristown High School with Craig. Proud to see what he has become.

There’s no better day than NO KINGS to reflect on the words of General Mark Milley “We don’t take an oath to a King”…

Jane Fonda has been showing up for decades and she’ll tell you herself: protesting is FUN. Tomorrow we gather brave, joyful, and together. Your voice is your power. Use it. 👑🚫 #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory #WeSayNoKings

The untrained man-children of ICE, prepared to wear costumes while loitering on the concourse and filling the lines in the food court, have brought their anger issues to rescue of our nation's airports!

Trump defanged all the regulators and fired all the inspectors so his cronies could loot the country.

We do not bow to crowns. We stand for democracy, accountability, and the rule of law. No president, including Donald Trump, is above the people or beyond consequence. On March 28th, join a #NoKings protest near you and make your voice heard. Show up. Stand together.

Barack Obama gave Iran its own money to get American prisoners released. Donald Trump is giving Iran *our* money to get his poll number to rise after he stupidly caused gas prices to go up. Donald only thinks about Donald.

Garrett Graff has written a few profiles on Mueller after spending hundreds of hours with him since the early 2000s. Here are two excerpts about Mueller's clothing views. I set out to find Mueller's tailor years ago. Graff told me that he remembers Mueller wearing RTW Brooks Brothers

The FT is not wrong.

Donald Trump's Pentagon is going to buy millions of dollars of drones from Donald Trump's sons. But *do* go on more about the corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden.

Here are federal employee responses, sorted by dept/agency, to the question about whether their organization's political leaders "maintain high standards of integrity." Results are abysmal. In no agency do even 20% of respondents say their top leaders have integrity

Each day of the Iran war generates months of impact in the global economy. If/when it ends, there be a slow rebuild to restore capacity.

everyone gets to make mistakes and make amends and be forgiven but not everyone gets to then be in positions of leadership and people who genuinely have repented after significant wrongdoing understand why they should be excluded from power

Hines is very, very good. Worth your time.

Puerto Rico has no votes in elections for President, Senate, or Congress. ODNI seized and is holding voting machines from Puerto Rico.

How to make friends around the world. The oil price increases due to the war are much larger for Asian and European countries than for the US.

In Business Week today: “China is light years ahead of the US in terms of energy, and energy is probably the key sector globally.” Christopher Wood Global head of equity strategy, Jefferies So why is Trump against solar and wind sources, where China dominates?

From the Washington Post: "Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war' So it begins...

Joe Kent’s resignation letter: “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people…”

Sec Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Aguilar: "This isn't the 'save act.' This is the 'save Republicans act.'"

At least Putin is happy. Funny how that worked out.

A tool called DROP lets California residents fill out a few forms to keep their personal data from being tracked or sold by data brokers.

Here’s a quick factcheck on tomahawks, so you have it: The only countries aside from US who have access to Tomahawks are: Current Operators: United Kingdom (Royal Navy) and Australia (Royal Australian Navy). Future Operators: Japan (2024) and the Netherlands (2025).

In case anyone was wondering about the price of oil over the past few weeks. $100 per barrel soon, 50%+ more than Feb 17. I wonder why.
