Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.

on the one hand, it’s notable that all the cabinet secretaries who have been fired are women, on the other hand, lori chavez-deremer’s personal conduct was truly reprehensible, above and beyond anything else that’s been reported about anyone in this admin besides trump

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

The Supreme Court is funny, they make bribes legal soup to nuts and then they're like 'we're collegial!' yeah I fucking bet lol going to opera and shit, sounds like a nice time

Portland's mayor actually said we'd be a "flyover city" if we don't use taxpayer money to renovate the Moda Center. Pretty gross!

Stage managers. What you’re looking for is stage managers

there is literally one proven policy to reduce traffic congestion long-term.

it’s congestion pricing. and Trump just spent a whole year trying to illegally scrap it in New York City

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

The problem is this post-Moses trend in treating the "community" as if it's monolithic and knows more about transportation planning than the experts. We as a society can say "more transit good, road expansion bad" and ask locals to weigh in on where staircases go, not "should this even happen?"

It bears repeating that historically, the #1 thing that keeps people alive in hard times and disasters is “the ability to play well with others”

Problem: White House is concerned by reports that several men in the cabinet are drinking on the job.
Solution:

We don't know which Cabinet secretary will be forced to resign next, but we know it'll be either Brooke Rollins or Linda McMahon because they're the last two women left.

THIRTY MINUTES.

thirty goddamn minutes.

She is awful and should be fired but man that is three women out of the Cabinet and not a single guy

GOD I HATE HIM

They face this every election and for some reaosn never think to themselves "gee, maybe we should change this stupid fucking law"

a picture is, it turns out, worth a lot more than a thousand words

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

IF you make 65k or less, the tariffs effectively doubled your tax rate, and in fact, if you make much less than that it made the percentage increase incalculable because if you make less than like 50k and have a household of three you don't pay FIT net

"Just one more lane bro"

Translation:

This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature

Lemme introduce you to my chariot, which moves 1 million butts per day.

blexas and blississpi would probably destroy the GOP's fighting spirit

lol suck it.

I still don't fully understand why that IDF soldier pulling a statue of Christ off that crucifix and smashing its head in with a hammer is doing more diplomatic harm than the attacks on the Holy Family Church in Gaza did

Blexas and Blississippi implies the existence of Blohio

And I think that’s beautiful

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

The world doesn’t really need another podcast but I bet there’d be some demand for more in depth analysis about Oregon’s institutions, their political motivations, and the small number of generally anonymous lobbyists, election firms, and funders that hold up a system that is failing most of us.
