This is also good stuff from @gtconway.bsky.social: He says only one of the major parties is functioning as an actor in a democracy, and that this is unsustainable.
"We can’t survive another 33 months of what we’ve seen for the last 15," he tells me.

Never forget that the “family values” party gave you a pedophile as Speaker of the House and later a President.
ORBAN LOST!!!!!
I believe the best outcome is if Iran ask for Trump so that they may put him on trial for his war crimes. I'd be okay with that.
JDVance is on the negotiating job and he has been very clear that if Iran doesnt start complying the US is prepared to make some more very serious concessions.
Not sure I’d go that far.
Putin is 100% ruthless.
If he felt he got what he wanted out of Iran he’d calculate that a mid-east war would benefit him greatly (⬆️ oil prices, diversion of western attention, ⬇️ western weapon supplies, resources, sanctions).
“Donnie, Vlad here. I have a job for you”
She separated herself from Trump, but she didn't throw Trump under the bus or do anything to harm Trump in her speech.
Melania clearly is doing some damage control designed to protect herself but protecting yourself is completely different from stabbing the knife or throwing under the bus.
Anyone else notice that as Trump gets more unhinged and violent he's more frequently mentioning the *families* of his enemies?
He posted a reference to Alex Jones's family. He posted a reference to Candace Owens' family. He posted a reference to the families of SCOTUS Justices.
Please tell me some reporter asked him why he was campaigning for an autocrat and buddy to Putin. A reporter needs to point out we as a “free” country shouldn’t support this type of leader.
Vance’s logic sucks. Vance’s stories suck. Vance’s analogies suck. Vance’s face sucks.
Could it be Vance sucks?
Vance: Iran said, 'We refuse to give up the right to enrichment.' And I thought to myself, you know, my wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn't jump out of an airplane. Because she and I have an agreement that she's ...
Trump is his own Neville Chamberlain.
The funny thing about this ceasefire is that it very clearly does not exist
Do not hold your breath for corporate media to admit this even as every conceivable indicator it is obligated to report on objectively confirms it
Between oil futures, prediction markets, and the new “joint venture” with Iran, someone needs to find out exactly how much money the Trump family might be making off of this war while American soldiers take casualties.
The first rule of negotiation is that you don't negotiate with anyone you don't trust to honor the negotiation.
That's an unbreakable maxim, because there's no purpose in negotiating with yourself—which is what you're doing if your negotiating partner won't be bound by anything.
I was a public defender for years, and what that job entails as much as anything is negotiating with government agents daily.
I've a feeling everyone else whose job is oriented toward negotiation is asking the same thing I do daily: why would *anyone* negotiate with Trump, Kushner or Witkoff? Ever?
Charlie laying down and looking back at me in the yard, while big clouds float overhead.
Charlie wanted to go hang out in the yard, and who am I to tell my dog "no."
What Trump loyalty looks like.
The star of the #EpsteinFiles just fired the biggest defender of the #EpsteinFiles.
Tuesday
It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti.
DHS has body-cam footage.
They haven't released it.
66 days and counting.

What does it say about a Florida state government, supposedly governing for the people, when said state government is suing/will sue the NFL to stop interviewing minorities. Not hire, interview.
This is how comically desperate these fools are now.
It's time. I've opposed this conversation for a decade, as the legal standard hadn't been met. Now the standard for launching a criminal investigation clearly has been—and the Democrats *can* and *must* launch their own probe so they are ready (if facts warrant) to impeach Trump for Treason in 2027.
