If Trump escalates, the universe of known-unknowns swallows up the known-knowns and our downside risk goes to infinity. And for what? To get a slightly less terrible deal than whatever terrible deal we’re going to wind up with anyway? www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-does...

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

It’s only been part of Iranian doctrine for two generations. How were they supposed to know?

So much winning. www.marketscreener.com/news/us-navy...

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

NEW: Israel has concluded in #Iran war • Regime change not an option • Protests didn’t mobilize • Kurdish option is no more Result: Escalation of strikes as Trump looks for “elegant exit” and wait for next round www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Tesla stock surges on news that Tesla has now fallen seven years behind Waymo in its quest for truly autonomous driving.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate The Bulwark community. They single-handedly (many-handedly?) made my book *How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time* a best-seller before it’s even hit shelves. I might have to let @jvl.bsky.social moderate a focus group…

"I don't mean to short circuit this whole exercise here, but watching people who voted to confirm her suddenly get all chesty about 'I had no idea' — go fuck yourselves." @jvl.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social discuss Kristi Noem's appearance before Congress.

JVL is always right.

Saying a prayer for the influencers.

It's amazing how MAGA suddenly discover dastardly enemies we never knew about whenever Trump throws a fit.

Strongest signal yet from Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D) that he'll give clemency to Tina Peters as President Trump has demanded. Polis notes a fmr Dem State Senator recently got probation on charges that drew prison time for Peters, who unrepentantly defied the judge at sentencing

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship. She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead. Boyfriend opened fire on her car We aren’t angry enough.

I don’t usually beg, but please read this piece.

From @jvl.bsky.social's Saturday Triad.

“However alarmed you are, it’s not enough.” Stop what you’re doing and read this incredible @jvl.bsky.social piece.

Harrowing, must-read reporting from Minneapolis by JVL. “War”, “occupation,” “Anne Frank territory.”

“This is Anne Frank territory; the stuff of the Stasi and East Germany, or Kosovo and Sarajevo. And the only way it ends is with victory for the regime or a reckoning for all those who waged this war against America. However alarmed you are, it’s not enough.”
