Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

I hope folks realize this Bab al-Mandab situation will be much worse than the Strait of Hormuz if it’s not sorted out quickly. And it doesn’t currently look like it will be sorted out quickly.

Aside from the blatant illegality here, you’ll get this right after your tariff dividend, your freedom dividend, Trump’s health care plan, and your $2 gas

Trump: "We're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend. Congratulations."

New in PN: Trump begs SCOTUS to let him unleash midterm chaos "Multiple courts have ruled this is wholly illegal. And yet, no one knows whether SCOTUS's MAGA majority will again leap in to ensure he's able to violate the law. This is not how functioning democracies *go*. Or at least, not for long."

Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions on the LIncoln. Trump: No they’re not. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough.

Insanity

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Just spent 2 days with my MAGA aunts and I’m happy to report we’ve gone from Trump is God, to all politicians are liars. No more talk of how great he is. Times are changing.

Both Donald Trump, And his people do not see Trump for who he truly is. Or, better said, does not judge Trump the same way they judge others. Image if Obama or Biden or Kamala did half the things Trump did, say half the things that Trump says. They would have so much lip.

Donald abandoned his 3 oldest kids, when they were all in grade school, to run off with a mistresses. He had a child with that mistress, speculated about the eventual size of that baby's breasts, and then abandoned her too. He married his next mistress. And cheated on her with someone in porn.

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

When asked about the Platner allegations, Kevin McCarthy said, "The one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away." If this guy was any less self-aware, he wouldn't be able to see his reflection in the mirror.

Elaine Chao: “I had to flee the hospital. My family runs a $14 billion shipping and chemical empire in China. And the staff kept forcing me to plug Mitch back in while I was charging my iPhone.”

It’s the world’s dumbest cult.

Jason Scott@textfiles.com

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

Insane that they let him brag about this

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

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

Nothing to see here!!

“The Trump administration has mass-deleted information about prosecutions tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, including cases of defendants who assaulted police officers.”

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Trump wants a $1,776,000,000 slush fund so he can award #MAGAReparations to thugs who stormed our Capitol and beat the shit out of cops on J6. It was gross enough that he pardoned these violent insurrectionists & convicts, now he wants to reward them with billions of taxpayer money

Tennessee Brando on Trump voters waking up: "I'm glad they're speaking out, but I can't give them a full pass. If you got duped the first go around in 2016, that's one thing ... but if you lived through Jan 6th and you still hung with him ... then, I mean, you're the reason we're here."

Trump released the largest weekly strategic reserve distribution in history last week - almost 10 million barrels. Oil is still over $100 a barrel and gas is at record seasonal highs. This is gonna get ugly if it’s not resolved soon.

This kind of hyperbolic language doesn’t help anyone. Several ships, and the UAE’s most important oil terminal were all hit yesterday. Also, calling this a “gift to the world” is like an arsonist bragging about putting out the fire they started.
