Wow, what a backbone. Stand aside, civil rights leaders—Sundar Pichai just risked it all by boldly refusing to reorganize the planet's oceans. A masterclass in corporate diplomacy. 🙄

War with Iran by the numbers - The September 2nd Edition The U.S. has been at war with Iran for 6 months Social media trackers & news outlets report that trump has declared the U.S. has won or defeated Iran more than 106 times (with total victory or "destroyed" claims reaching up to 201 instances)

Collins is the cat that stands at the door meowing desperately to be let out. You get up, open the door, hold it open while she sniffs the air & acts torn about whether she wants to go out or not. Then, after making you freeze for 5 mins, she turns around & walks back into the house.

Susan Collins voted to confirm Howard Lutnick, the person widely reported as most responsible for blowing up the deal. But now she’s concerned about what he has done because it’s an election year.

The Canadian trade war is a distraction from the Iran war, which was a distraction from the economy, which was a distraction from tariff policy, which was a distraction from DOGE, which was a distraction from ICE deportations, which was a distraction from the Epstein files.

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has time to fundraise, but no time to respond to a debate request. Still wondering whether he’ll return the $54,000 he earned from the 116 days he missed work. You know, because he voted against mandatory paid sick leave for Americans.

During a SC debate last night, interim Senator Darline Graham (Lindsey’s sister) was asked about Taiwan and replied, “I’m just gonna be honest—I’m not that informed on national security.” Forget the Senate, she’s angling for a trump cabinet position.

Putting aside trump’s dedication to the delusion, repetition isn’t a form of peer review

He can say it however many times he wants, the fact remains that Iran is still targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and the situation won’t stabilize until the administration pulls their heads out of their ass.

Sometimes ideology is just what you call Plan B after a humiliating failure Plan A

".. This attempt to position Meta as a champion of decentralized technology is comical. .. the only reason Meta isn’t talking up an all-powerful closed AI model .. is that it has so far failed to build a competitive one." @opinion.bloomberg.com $META www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

One sentence, 3 total lies. trump during a stop w/ reporters at Joint Base Andrews last night: ”More people are working right now in the United States than ever before, and prices are dropping fast. Iran is going fine. It’s going just absolutely fine. We totally control the Strait of Hormuz.“

Imagine being the Secret Service agent whose job is to say: “Sir, we need you to get into the catering truck.” And then realizing this is somehow the least embarrassing part of your day.

Next month, when the numbers are inevitably weird again, I assume he'll tell us the economy is booming, but the data is just currently stuck behind a slow-moving tractor in Nebraska

Kevin Hassett on unemployment data: “There was a big decline in government employment...there was so much snow over the winter that there were extra school days at the end of the year. And so the normal time when teachers would take the summer off was June, but a lot of them got pushed into July.”

This from the guy who just yesterday told us the Melania movie is a box-office smash and that the U.S. is somehow draining 'billions of barrels' of oil out of Venezuela.

I never believe anything until he denies it. Yeah, we’re out of missiles because of his stupid war to drive up gas prices.

1991 - Silence of the Lambs swept the Oscars, Nirvana made their major-label debut with Nevermind and Tim Berners-Lee released the first-ever web page to the public. 1991 was also the final year of a severe nationwide measles epidemic in the U.S. - until now. Thanks RFK Jr!

Well it’s Friday again. Time for the trump disappearing act, followed by a Sunday reappearance with freshly covered hand bruises and another announcement about Iran begging for a deal that’s perfectly timed for Monday morning Wall Street trading.
