Trump in Iran: neither all in nor all out. Just waiting and spinning. Has no idea what to do now. In would be a disaster, out would make him a laughing stock. Between Iraq and a hard place.

Surely this photo of "Nara Smith" is AI.
Tesla is the new Edsel.
They're having trouble giving them away, especially the Cybertruck version, which looks like it belongs in a ground war in Iran.
We have a dream.
Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
CNN’s Harry Enten: “To quote the great Happy Gilmore, voters say the ‘price is wrong.’ Trump's at all-time lows on inflation across polls (-42 pts net approval). With Indies, Trump was favored by 10 pts vs. Harris in 2024 on inflation. His net approval now is -60 pts. A 70 pt shift away from him!”
WSJ: "At one point he even mused he should award himself the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor.”
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
No art needed for no-deal.
AP: Trump still expects to dispatch his negotiating team, led by Vance, to a second round of talks, even as Iran insisted it would not take part until Trump dialed back his demands. Trump insisted he feels no pressure to end the war until Iran agrees to his terms.
Sycophantic Warsh defends Trump.
Yahoo Finance: But Trump has done far more than state his views. In speeches, press conferences, and posts, he has demanded lower interest rates and lambasted current Chair Jerome Powell, mocking him as “too slow,” “too late,” “incompetent,” and “crooked.”
Sylvia Plath wrote that those of us who don't believe in hell in the afterlife must undergo it in actual life. I think that's too grim, but it does explain this presidency.
Burn his ass!
This should be fun.
AP: FBI Director Kash Patel sues The Atlantic for article that alleged excessive drinking
"His behavior, including 'both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences,' has alarmed officials at the FBI and Department of Justice..."
The Onion is taking over Alex Jones's Infowars.
Yes, this is an Onion headline, but it's also real. Sandy Hook parents will now receive some compensation for what Jones did to them.
In 2024, The Onion won a court-mandated auction for Infowars’ parent company, backed by the Sandy Hook families.
At least someone is paying attention.
AP: PARIS (AP) — Elon Musk has been summoned to Paris on Monday, where investigators are looking into allegations of misconduct related to the social media platform X, including the spread of child sexual abuse material and deepfake content.
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
I wish we had an easier way to do a vote of no confidence than impeachment.
"Mar-a-Lago Mafia" is a very good line.
Top military officials kept Trump out of the situation room during the rescue of downed soldiers bc of his erratic behavior. This is more proof that he isn’t fit to be president and is a threat to national security. This needs to be top news.
It's always something.
Drum-beats of war get loud again.
AP: Iran’s military says the US seizure of an Iranian-flagged tanker marks a ceasefire violation.
Iran’s state broadcaster reported that the country’s military denounced the US action as “maritime piracy” and said that “Iran will respond soon.”
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.

Perfect.
Trevor Noah at his best. Just seeing this which is still relevant today!
“They voted for Trump… then realized.”
The nightmarish sequel nobody asked for but everyone saw coming except, apparently, them. 👀

Love this guy!!!
On point!!
Gentle Russia, our dearest friend, needs our help.
AP: US energy secretary describes extending waiver on Russian oil sanctions as ‘pragmatic’
The decision came days after Secretary Bessent had ruled out such a move, and Senate Democrats led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it “shameful.”
Don't believe in a Hell afterlife but that sick motherfucking ass clown is making Hell on Earth right here, right now. Skull fucking is way to compassionate for what he deserves.
