Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Something feels like it is shifting in US politics right now, and it is very, very bad for Trump, MAGA, and the Republicans: bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

“AI cardiac age”??!?!

We ended another one of those weeks with a series of encouraging developments..... - Cornyn YOLOs a Trumpian fable - The Don loses the Kennedy Center, the slush fund is blocked - MN arrests an ICE agent, in Texas! It's Friday Happy Hour everyone! 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/friday-hap...

Today, the city of Kyiv has turned 1544 years old

BREAKING: The Banana Splits will NOT be performing at Freedom 250 Carry On.

We could have had nice things

Ossoff: They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach, who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.

We can make sure the 27 Democrats running in Texas state house and senate districts where the GOP had no competition last cycle have money for campaign basics like yard signs and gas to get around the district and talk to voters. Chip in to all of them with one click. @kendallscudder.bsky.social

So the guy who invited the Taliban to Camp David and gave control of the Strait of Hormuz to Islamic Republic of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is now telling us he just had "a very good call with Hezbollah." Sounds great.

So much not winning.....

Some Monday notes on Ossoff, Platner, Trump's ongoing meltdown, and the importance of investing and winning everywhere 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/notes-on-o...

As far as I can tell trump's pre-midterm promises have been reduced to a ballroom, a big festival, & an iran deal that expensively restores the status quo ante, and it appears Rs will be running in November on his having tried and failed to accomplish those three things. Good luck!

Mostly it's the surrogates going around endlessly whining and trump occasionally busting in to say he doesn't care, which is great for driving home that the whole party top to bottom is a void & you can't expect anything from them

With an eye on the midterms I encourage this administration to continue their economic messaging strategy of alternately whining and saying they don't care

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy

I’ve been telling people this for months 🤦‍♂️

When you’ve lost Matt Walsh

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

unnoticed by whom, npr

Oh you don’t sayyyyyyyyyy

“Government stats say incomes after adjusting for inflation are now declining YoY. What do you say to that?” “Yeah, well, we are also starving people and kicking them off health care”

“Leaner and meaner” is especially tone deaf when you’re talking about food stamps.

“Government stats say incomes after adjusting for inflation are now declining YoY. What do you say to that?” “Well, it’s true, but/and partly because we have reduced incomes for people by cutting their social programs.” Not a mystery why Trump’s approval on the economy is -50

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Ukrainian decision to double down on drone warfare, from the battlefield, to mid range and long range strike, and not to draft all of its young men to make infantry, will be seen by historians as one of the most important decisions in 19th-21st century warfare.

Trump people storming a GOP congress would be hilarious.

Well its clear fellas - loving your wife is gay

He's spiraling lmao

It’s so stupid so trump is obsessed

There is not a rational human being in America who doesn't support this. No excuses, the Epstein files must be released.

Great news: the courts will have a chance to rein in the abuses at Camp East Montana, the infamous tent camp built on Fort Bliss in El Paso. I have known seasoned veterans of this field who visited the camp and came away saying it was one of the worst ICE detention centers they’d ever been to.
