Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Putin must be so proud of himself for the impact he has had on the U.S.

This is what a rigged system looks like.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
The war is a disaster for Trump. He’s gained nothing, and now he won’t even answer questions about reports of Iranian gunboats firing at vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
🚨UK Maritime Trade Op Centre reported there were attacks in the strait— 2 Iranian gunboats fired at a tanker.
Earlier today…
“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours.
Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump
Kayfabe president-kayfabe sports
Now that Iran is opening fire on oil tankers, every news outlet should issue a retraction. Every journalist who mindlessly went along with Trump's lies should grovel and apologize for sucking so much ass at their jobs. Then they should resign and flog themselves publicly.
Kaine: Nations all around the world have secretaries & ministers of defense. Do you know of any that has a secretary & minister of war — are you aware of any nation in the world that calls this function war rather than defense?
Vought: (deflects)
Kaine: I will tell you, there's no other nation
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
When Colbert teams up with @sydneykamlager.bsky.social @meidastouch.com, you never know what will happen.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
Dr Trump at work
Allowing a #DoorDash driver to take part in government propaganda is wrong. Participating in PR for an administration that is lawless, vicious, and dangerous is disgusting. I will spend my dollars where my values are respected. I won’t use DoorDash.
Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.
This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.
In case anyone is still confused
He pledged to lower Americans’ energy costs by “50 to 70%” within 12 months, or a “maximum 18 months.”

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
How does James Comer have Hillary testify but not Melania?
