Funny that Trump’s instinct as a real estate man/landlord kick in on the question of building more housing, but the same logic escapes him when it comes to oil.

They should update to say that their original reporting and analysis has been confirmed.

Post through it, is their best answer.

Wish this were the case, perversely. But I think he very much believes this the figure he should cut on the way to a nomination.

Shame that this had to happen, but … bravo. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...

Wait until he hears about our new personalist legal system.

I realize job growth is anemic and people still chafe at high prices — but if anything like this obtains this year, he is going to feel invulnerable. And if Iran falls, he will naturally take credit. Dems need to at least mentally prepare for a sky-isn’t-falling midterm environment.

If we can’t reach some kind of epistemic consensus on this, then we are truly past the point of no return.

If grown men with guns in the United States were afraid of those women in that context, then maybe we really do need to rehab our warrior ethos.

Feels like Tom Cotton and Don Jr. would agree with Joe Pesci that Spider had it coming in “Goodfellas.”

You need to be in tip-top shape in order to murder unarmed women in the suburbs..

It’s clear she was there to antagonize them, which she has a right to do as long as she doesn’t “forcibly interfere” (she wasn’t; she equally clearly was set to leave). Most damning: her eyes were not even facing Ross and it appears that she wasn’t even aware he had passed in front of her car.

Supply and demand for a global commodity — how does it work?

Just stop.

Opioid deaths, violent crime, inflation — most everything was trending in the right direction in 2024. Nevertheless.

It’s true that Trump is unpopular, this will not end well, but there is clear incentive for future presidents to behave this way. More often than not, he gets what wants.

This has clearly been the overarching goal from the beginning. Trump won’t ever admit to weak jobs numbers, but Vance and Miller will trumpet them in this context.

Hey at least he saw it!

Will be funny if 2026 is a better year for jobs and growth, and Trump has to square the circle and explain why tariffs getting struck down didn’t destroy us.

“Face diapers,” I recall them saying during Covid.

Just promise some ridiculous number like every other company and country, move on, and hope the Mad King is distracted by the next shiny object.

Well, in fairness, she doesn’t have a plane to offer him.

Flashbacks of Super Bowl 57 watching players slip on this field.

“It's a very precarious moment. He does not want them to harm more of the protesters. This is a tense moment,” the U.S. Treasury secretary said, referring to Trump's threat on Sunday to hit Tehran if it began killing protesters. 🤔

“Female crisis.” No doubt Mark Hemingway is an expert in the field.

I’m sure it’s a hotbed of domestic terrorism.

So … the fact that the ICE officer had been dragged by a car in another incident is, at best, information a jury would take into consideration as he’s being sentenced for a crime.

He seems nice.

Threats to the republic are coming from many angles, but, at a minimum, this club needs to be taken out of his hand: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

“High quality, sanctioned oil.” Sounds like a drug dealer, which is apt, given the pretext of this particular boondoggle.

Sorry. He wants to liberate the oil, not you.

No, he’s not.

In exchange for supporting an amoral transactionalist, the pro-life movement got its Roe-demolishing supermajority, and a lousy “Leave it to the states” t-shirt. Donald Trump is as cool with Minnesota’s abortion law as Tim Walz is.

No.

The classiest people.

So he’s saying tariffs are a tax, and some are for “medical security,” not national security. Sounds constitutional.

How cooperative would Delcy Rodriguez be if Trump said he’d expose her to an election?

Oof 😥

Bumping this to point out that, by the lights of the Claremont Institute, remembering J6 is akin to Giuliani constantly evoking 9/11. Irritating, in other words. Never tire of being an irritant, then. Claremonsters are depraved.

Wonder what happened in October? 🤔🤣

“From Aristotle to Jaffa” … good grief, the times we’re living in 🤡

This is all kinds of confused. On the one hand, Dan McLaughlin says “international law” means very little without American power. (True!) Therefore, it’s silly to say Trump undermines it when we’re the main thing undergirding. 1/2

Better cross-check that with Viceroy Rubio, because that’s not what he says.

Sounds like something Congress would need to approve, but mileage may vary 🤪

Has Stephen Miller ever used the term “neoliberal” before? Is that a joke?

You know, I don’t think I need to read John Yoo’s take on the legality of the Venezuela operation.

… in other news, I cannot imagine the increase to Trump’s hubris if the clerics fall in Iran.
