SCALISE: We've delivered. Remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. Right now it's in the $3s KERNEN: When were we paying $6? SCALISE: 2.5 years ago K: That's not right S: We are lowering inflation K: We're actually above where we were then. 2 years ago the average was $3.65

You know damn well that was staged. Trump is terrified of losing the midterms so they cooked up this shit to garner sympathy.

Literally so glad that I hired movers because HOLY SHIT do I hate the things that accumulated in my apartment

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Trump: "Gasoline is coming down very soon, and very big" (it's amazing how he's just talking to bullshit his way through all of his problems right now)

BARTIROMO: Moving to domestic issues, what are your top priorities now for the economy for the rest of the year? TRUMP: To be honest, we are doing so well. You look at this. I hit the 50,000 Dow mark.

First night in the Columbus apartment… feels soooo good

Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."

I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

"Orbán’s Hungary has been the model for the global fascist assault on democracy. Maybe it can also serve as a model for its defeat." Important piece from Jason Stanley for Zeteo on the big story of the day:

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

For as much as this Neanderthal-looking as bitch is yelling, she could have actually done something useful and stayed in Congress to fight this. But no, she quit and is riding on her fake ass non-apology tour for attention and the MSM is lapping this up. Fuck her. She hasn’t changed at all.

My ex told me Buc-ee’s was a life-changing experience. Just checked out the new one they built in town and 1. Everyone was acting like it was the county fair. 2. And more importantly:

Chris Murphy: "He's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary and cataclysmic for the world."

Polymarket tomorrow: “we have no idea how this market for ‘Will Trump cause a nuclear winter’ popped up. It is against our policy and we will find out how it got through. Also, congrats to the winner with a 1000% return on their bet!”

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

No one’s in CONGRESS anymore! What happened to Congress?!?

Seriously, what the fuck is this. This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.

Remember the White House ‘hype’ videos? Unserious people in very serious jobs.

OMG i forgot that Bondi said the Dow was "over 50,000 *dollars*"

There's just something about a rainy morning...

It’s the dog for me

Brendan Carr: “Look at the results so far — PBS defunded, NPR defunded, Joy Reid gone from MSNBC, Sleepy Eye Chuck Todd gone, Jim Acosta gone, John Dickerson gone, Colbert is leaving, CBS is under new ownership — & soon enough CNN is going to have new ownership as well” #NoKings protest tomorrow 🤘🏼

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings? CPAC CROWD: *cheers* SCHLAPP: No. That was the wrong answer.

If we're not affected by this, then why are gas prices through the roof, my dude? For the lulz?

BASH: Are ICE agents going to move into American airports starting tomorrow? HOMAN: Yes. I'm currently working on the plan. We'll execute tomorrow. BASH: Are ICE agents even remotely trained to handle security at airports? HOMAN: ICE agents receive high-level training.

we're supposed to believe the Trump administration has spent more than a year doing a mass deportation of the worst of the worst criminals, but also there are sleeper cells of undocumented Iranians in the country that constitute a grave national security threat. the math ain't mathing.

“It would hurt consumers… but that’s really the last of our concerns….” I mean that’s been Republican politics for decades but nice how they’ve just stopped pretending it isn’t anymore.

Deserved. The score really carried the film along so well. #Oscars
