All the Iran hawks said that the way to get rid of Iran’s hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles, and support for terrorism was to go to war with Iran. We went to war with Iran. And the hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles and terrorism aid are all still there.

Where is the Senate in all this? Sure looks like a treaty... and there are lifted sanctions, commitments, and $300 billion at stake....

So your fix in that word salad is to let markets tell the Fed what to do? That's not independence. That's outsourcing monetary policy to hedge funds. As much as your boss loves it, "the markets saying cut the rates" isn't analysis. That's EXACTLY why the Fed is supposed to be independent.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Trump and MAGA’s foreign policy.

I’m JW Vance. No kin to JD. Please consider buying my book, Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual For Keeping A Democracy, instead. bookshop.org/p/books/givi...

The Canadian company that built 2,500 armored vehicles for Ukraine just partnered with one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers. Daimler Truck and Roshel signed a deal in Paris to build protected military vehicles together for NATO allies. Read: defence-blog.com/canadas-ukra...

This is an incredible speech, which every American should hear. I had it pinned but somehow it was deleted, not by me. youtu.be/QIK9vbQRwBQ?...

NYC COMPTROLLER: “Next level. Beyond anything we’ve seen. We’re very worried about the precedent this sets.” Institutional investors (and regular Americans) are being forced to own billions worth of SpaceX after it was fast-tracked into indexes to make Elon a trillionaire 🤔

At the reflecting pool. 🥴

NEW: The DOJ is taking aim at common-sense federal law that prevents voters from being kicked off the registration roles within 90 days of an election. It signals the Trump administration's desire to cancel registrations across the nation in the days leading up to the midterms.

Excellent work by Senator Kaine!

SpaceX market cap: $2.8 trillion. Combined market cap of the 600 constituents of the S&P Small Cap index: $1.8 trillion. #$SPCX

BREAKING: SpaceX is now worth more than Amazon. SpaceX market cap is $2.75 trillion, Amazon's is $2.65 trillion. Amazon's profits were $78 billion last year. SpaceX lost $5 billion last year.

Trump gives them spectacle. Musk gives them infrastructure. ICE gives them force. Data centers give them extraction. The fight moves local because that’s where the machine touches land, water, housing, and bodies.

Trump is backing away from getting Iran's enriched material: "You could make the case, why even bother? It's not very valuable stuff."

⚡ At the G7 summit in France, President Zelenskyy met with US President Trump. Zelenskyy confirmed that allies heavily condemn Russia's attacks on Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and see no good-faith peace intent from Putin.

Well this pisses me off. Fuck you Nate.

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

JD Vance wanted to go full State of Siege. Because this is what he learned at Yale Law School, apparently. youtu.be/WOz4paFDjDE?...

As a Democrat, if you aren't standing up and speaking loudly against tyranny—you're doing it wrong.

The equivalent would be the absurdity of Belgium claiming that it destroyed Notre Dame because Notre Dame is the soul of Belgium. But yes this comparison takes us a step closer to seeing the madness of this.

What an interesting G7 photo

Interesting.

Video of the fire inside the Lavra complex struck by Russia‼️ ​The damage is severe, with a massive fire. Russians deliberately targeted the heart of one of Christendom's greatest shrines!

IMO, hosting this MMA event at the WH is part of a larger project to rebrand the GOP as a populist party, shedding the Alex P Keaton stereotype it once carried. And in doing so, make them seem like the right party for working class people, even as they cut taxes for the rich & slash social services

When we were kids my friend was reminding me of some important date coming up I shrugged "You probably even know when Flag Day is" She smiled back "June 14th!" The rest of her life we had Flag Day. I'd forget, but June 14th flags would appear; on my car or lawn or desk at work. Happy Flag Day

#DataCenters The #US has > 5,500 w/ > 1,500 in development. #Canada has +/- 300. #Mexico has 64. The #UK has 549. #China has 365. #Japan has 256. Electricity hogs. Water hogs. They do not serve humanity nor do they serve the greater good. Resources are finite. Are you paying attention now?
