Who else remembers how disruptive it was when one container ship got sideways in the Suez Canal? Unrelated, I feel like you shouldn't provoke an enemy if they might have capability to hit juicy, slow moving targets in a constrained place and hamstring global trade. But hey, I'm no POTUS or SecDef.

The Strait of Hormuz may be 21 miles wide, but the navigable channel is only three kilometers wide — making a perfect kill zone. About 1/3 of the world’s fertilizer passes through there. The spring planting season is here. The world’s most vulnerable will go hungry and Trump dismantled USAID.

It almost makes you wonder why smarter presidents opted for nuclear treaties instead of provocation. I guess it’s the difference between a potus who reads PDB’s and one who relies on cable news for intelligence while ignoring anyone with real world knowledge

He was fired. He didn’t “Depert”.

Trump’s illegal war is unpopular with most Americans. But MAGA Republicans are hanging on for dear life. 📌 NEW POLL: 90% of MAGA Republicans approve of the Iran strikes. Just when you thought MAGA might be breaking…

They are proud of murdering 180 Iranian children. They have respect for no one and will murder anyone for their own entertainment.

This is an example of what I was trying to say.

Warning: this is not for the faint of heart or for those who want to like the current POTUS open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Across the country, as housing and other costs continue to outpace income increases, many middle-class home buyers are finding they can’t easily scrape together a down payment on their own. The median U.S. home price now tops $405,000. https://wapo.st/4stHBwa

The madman Trump posts: “Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time.“

Israel’s Netanyahu is calling the shots. American taxpayers are financing it. Innocent people, including Iranian schoolgirls, are dying. Vote out every Republican before they finish destroying all we hold dear.

Republicans spend an incredible amount of time and energy finding new ways to obstruct justice and accountability. www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...

🔵🔹️Rep. Massie 👉🏽 “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files 📂 Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.” 🔵👇🏽🇺🇸✊🏽

Trump's trying to find the guy who did this.

One policy that Lewandowski took a particular interest in, according to Undue Process, was migrant-detention centers. Inside the administration, Ainsley writes, a divide had formed over how to house the millions of immigrants Trump wanted to arrest. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

And this guy is a moderate!

Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

Reveal the unredacted #Trump-EpsteinFiles NOW!!! #Trump #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

But it is indeed broken! Good news though: it can be corrected in November. Vote en masse; take back our government with a solid veto-proof majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. End Trump's destruction of our democracy and filling his pockets with our tax dollars.

Day 2️⃣2️⃣ - #BlackHistoryMonth 🕯Thurgood Marshall was a civil rights lawyer who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court from 1967 until 1991. He was the Supreme Court's first African-American justice. Famous for arguing & winning the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education.

This one hits hard.

Cruelty is a feature of everything they do. Trump and those who enable him have repeatedly called immigrants names like animals and vermin. These are the same people who would like you believe they are christians.

Other countries are doing what we need to do. Charges for the sex crimes AND associated financial & espionage crimes. Epsteins sex trafficking network was a front for financial extortion & to obtain political favors & national intelligence. American coconspirators should also be charged w treason.

Wait this is absolutely insane

In most democracies Trump’s reckless and wild abuse of power through his tariffs would cause the government to fall or the leader to be removed. The imposition of these tariffs against the will of Congress, the courts, our allies, and the American people. It’s clear grounds for removal.

Congrats SCOTUS for finding the tariffs illegal. Fuck you for not granting a stay and letting this illegal cash grab go on for the better part of a year. You owe us a fucking apology (and resignations) for the damage caused to government, businesses and people.

A point I’ve been making a lot is that the tariffs are 1) the policy most personally important to Trump 2) the least popular policy with the American people according to polling 3) substantively destructive and incoherent 4) genuinely opposed by large swaths of conservative constituencies.

Everyone needs to recognize what a horrible person Steve Bannon is. I wrote a piece a few months ago about how major media failed to mention Bannon's criminal past and treated him as some sort of deep thinker. Among the media culprits: NPR's Steve Inskeep with a ridiculous whitewashing of Bannon.

“Black History Month is sometimes treated as little more than an opportunity for corporate branding and, maybe, school assemblies,” @adamhsays.com argues. But “observing it this February feels radical”:

“A nation that wants to forget its past must be reminded of all of it.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

'At a moment when your government is rounding people up and building camps to concentrate them — and you know *everyone in the world knows it* — some ambivalence when you’re at an international competition is not just understandable but unavoidable." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

More of this.

America is now being ruled by the Epstein Administration.

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

If it’s a tax on them, elites make it sound like a tax on you. If it’s a tax on you, they make you wonder if it’s a tax at all. When you understand that, you can see how the news media actually created conditions in which some middle-class Americans unknowingly voted for their own immiseration.

Just FYI, @jimmykimmel.com trademarked it last week. Credit where it's due! youtu.be/4hrOPAstXns?...

Donald Trump is so focused on putting his name on everything, so let's grant him his wish by calling them the Trump-Epstein files. This is a massive cover-up by Trump and his cronies, and I won’t stop until we hold them accountable.
