The quickest way for Trump to economically destroy Iran is to become their President.

Pete Buttigeg just EMBARRASSED Joe Kernen on national TV.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

Soulless.

From FT comments

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat

The “free” market at work folks. What ever happened to “corporations are people” with first amendment rights?

Everyone must give @jkbjournalist.bsky.social all the things.

I think we deserve another season of The Crown now

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Naturally, Trump is going to try to cash in on this. Every t-shirt, coffee cup, everything with the airport’s name on it means Trump will make money off it.

You wonder how some people can sleep at night. And if they can, how tiny their hearts must be.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

I can’t remember what his birthday is but how about a march on Washington to mark the occasion?

ICE-holes are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. Fuck this whole fucking regime, and if you voted for this shit, then fuck you especially hard! #FuckICE #FuckDHS #FucktRump #Resist #FuckMAGA

It just get worse. Instead of administering CPR to a man who might still be alive, DHS officers were leering over the body, counting the bullet holes.

“As [Sudeten German politician Konrad] Henlein himself summarized the Fuehrer’s views, ‘We must always demand so much that we can never be satisfied.’” -Shirer. The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich. p. 589

The US economy has a case of AI Dutch Disease--sectors that produce no jobs are driving growth/wealth and keeping demand for capital and rates high at the expense of job creating sectors. A low UR says this is more structural than cyclical

Bingo!

Unbelievable that this should even need to be said.

Start naming mass shootings after politicians who take money from the NRA.

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "I'm seeking the help of Congressmen Vindman and Jamie Raskin, to get the transcript of the conversation between President Trump and Crown Prince MBS to understand the truth."

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Sweetheart, bless your heart. You were fine with Trump going after innocent election workers, families of judges, rallying a mob that killed police officers. But now that Daddy is upset with his girl, you are a victim. Sorry, @RepMTG. We knew you before you were a virgin x.com/RepMTG/statu...

One of the biggest takeaways from the Epstein file release today was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 and early 2019 was telling people he had dirt on Trump which could destroy Trump. That is very likely why the Trump DOJ charged Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019 and then "suicided" him.

This.

Time for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to replace @schumer.senate.gov

He's already declaring victory. Elected Dems, you are so stupid.

Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

Carney showing what his actual “values” are? So much for “Building a better world for all.” Epic moral failure indeed.

Look, you don't understand: the Vichy regime has to cooperate with the Nazis, otherwise they'll just occupy and run the country themselves. Yeah, make them do that.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Interesting that this happens to be one of the few historical events that Donald Trump seems to actually know something about.
