Remember when Ivanka Trump said she was quitting politics to become a wellness influencer but forgot to mention the part about how her husband was running around the globe pushing wars and encouraging genocide with the help of her father?

Below, a breakout role for Humphrey Bogart in the 1941 western noir High Sierra, also starring Ida Lupino and directed by Raoul Walsh, #botd in 1887. Walsh's 1930 epic western The Big Trail had also been a breakout for a prop man named Marian Morrison whom Walsh named John Wayne. #moviesky #filmsky

It gets better. Here's Vance and Rubio in the Oval Office...

Its everywhere. Even if you teach them the best way possible, society has enough of the bad to take some of them along for the evil ride. Trust me, this is not always the fault of parents, its choices made by people with issues. Deep, unresolved illness🪶

Some of us had this weeks ago...there's always a grift...

I mean, Tom Cruise has made 3 movies in 8 years, one of which was an unqualified success. The other two, both mission impossible movies, undersold their 3 preceding franchise films by 8 figures. Tom Cruise cares about Tom Cruise, so presumably he has a very lucrative deal with Ellison.

The Oscars are adding new categories, including Best Casting and the upcoming Achievement in Stunt Design. Which should be next? #Cinema

Pete Hegseth spent $3,160 on stickers depicting cartoon characters in September 2025, which is the same month he gathered generals at Quantico to lecture them about warrior ethos and masculinity

This is all teetering on the brink of disaster, one fully made by Trump (Netanyahu wouldn’t have made a move if Trump hadn’t supported). And now Trump knows his own screw-up could wreck the midterms for him.

Oof! Here we go…

The history of Hollywood is bananas and full of dumb corporate choices making way for new art, but the Silicon Valley brained takeover of the American movie business is a new level of yikes and you really have to get how they think to understand what they’re about to do

Ivanka Trump’s luxury real estate brokers the Alexander brothers were just convicted of sex trafficking after 11 victims testified they were drugged and assaulted for years. The same “A Team” that moved mansions for many of the rich and famous. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AHIG04qPBS3G...

Checking in on how things are going under the new Trump administration so far...

Aka - Ireland has the weakest local government system in Europe. That’s not good.

Leavitt: "The president is not making anything up, Nancy"

i mean it’s objectively hilarious that he sends people clown shoes and they feel beholden to wear them lest they insult the boy king (no seriously: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...)

We also hope to use membership funding to expand what we're able to do! We want to bring on more freelancers + columnists to share original reporting + analysis. We're hoping to do more in-person events, like our upcoming pod recording in Austin with the Observer www.eventbrite.com/e/an-evening...

Oh man, this is going to decimate the rotation. He’s probably out until September, at the earliest.

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch Follow 404 Media on Instagram (www.instagram.com/404mediaco/) for more like this

Defense Dept under Pete Hegseth just spent more than $93 billion. Included: $2 million on Alaskan king crab last September alone, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $1 million on salmon, $140,000 on doughnuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $26,000 on sushi, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak.

My analogous realisation was that the university admin think that the purpose of teaching is to attract tuition fees and the purpose of research is to attract grants.

👁️ Peculiar that oil and gas prices fall back because - a known serial liar calls his war a slight "excursion" 👀 @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Witkoff stated that since Russia claims it isn’t aiding Iran’s intelligence, “we must take them at their word.”

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

I’m introducing a bill to ban bets on war and death in prediction markets. Betting on war and death creates an environment in which insiders can profit off of nonpublic information, our national security is jeopardized, and violence is encouraged. Congress must act.

“President Trump will say just about anything — anything — to get through a news cycle. That's the simplest way to explain his evasions and contradictions about the US military action in Iran.” view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/177...

Capture 👇 "As you know..." If the journalists let this pass without qualification/rebuttal - it gives solid credibility to his lie... #journalism

🇬🇧 I was once asked by a tourist 'Do you have the time?' - I pointed up to Big Ben above 👁️.

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions? WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

“Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, and unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Donald Trump’s mouth five minutes ago” - @paulwaldman.bsky.social unpacks the general traits of a prototype member of Trump cabinet - the worst in U.S. history. Via @atrupar.com

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

Zelenskyy: “Ukraine has sent three professional teams to the Middle East that will work in different countries in the region…Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. “There, they will assist with security matters and countering drones.”

"I'm a logical person."

'The energy transition is no longer just climate policy - it is the most credible energy security strategy the UK has.' @smithschool.ox.ac.uk's Prof Cameron Hepburn comments on the ongoing oil price shock and its ramifications for UK households and the clean energy transition.

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

Exactly what Australia’s Four Corners covered in our special ChasingTrump’s Billions: m.youtube.com/watch?v=sij8... it’s a massive scandal but people seem so numb to it all these days

“…in fields most explicitly associated with the production of critical thought – what is collectively referred to as the “humanities” – most scholars see AI as a unique threat, one that extends far beyond cheating on homework and casts doubt on the future of higher education itself…”

I think about this tweet like 3x a week nowadays.

I made a list of every swing seat in every state legislature that could flip red to blue (or vice versa) in November, with incumbents, challengers, 2024 margin, and more. Also includes potential supermajority busters. Please use it to stop fascism: progressreport.substack.com/p/a-guide-to...
