"Tariff relief" was part of it.

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

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.

Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.

Collins said the new InfoWars won't only poke fun at the far right. He sees it as an opportunity to go after all the "stupid" stuff on the internet and beyond — like influencers pushing beef tallow, van lifers who "shove 80 kids into the back of an RV and call it a house," and AI guys who "have the very mind virus that they think everyone else has." "We want Infowars to be a place where you strive to be instead of a psychopathic website where they sell supplements for your broken penis," Collins said. In his view, there was only one good thing Jones did with Infowars: "It's a great logo. It's a great name for what's going on, unfortunately."

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.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

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.

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Yeah this is the whole thing. It was the obvious path for the past six weeks.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

The good news is that this dynamic opens up all sorts of options for punitive extractive taxes directed at the political coalition responsible for it.

this is a microcosm of the world as conservatives want it, where “merit” means an unrestricted good ol’ boys club

Terrifying moment self-driving Tesla crashes through railroad gate as train approches I glanced to my right and saw the train barreling toward us – lights glaring, horn blaring. It was terrifyingly close,” Brown said.

Heart-stopping video shows a self-driving Tesla crashing through a railroad gate, narrowly avoiding getting hit by an oncoming train.

Driver Joshua Brown said he was behind the wheel of his vehicle with full self-driving (FSD) mode engaged as he approached a level crossing near his home in Texas.

i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

Virginia Governor Ends Tax Breaks for Confederate Groups

Trump’s Humiliation in Orbán Defeat Stunner Is Only Just Beginning For Viktor Orbán’s epic loss in Hungary to have real meaning in America, Democrats and liberals need to proclaim themselves part of the global anti-authoritarian movement.

"What if American liberal politicians were to speak more overtly and forcefully to other liberal democrats—again, small-d—throughout the West about what our vision of a shared international future should be?"

newrepublic.com/article/2090...

Orban copied Trump. Trump copied Orban.

And in the end, the people of Hungary chose democracy and the rule of law. As will happen here too. But only if we do our work, like they did.

They will note that Dems are the party the media can hold accountable.

Trump and Iran Are Both in Impossible Positions I wanted to share a few more thoughts on the current ceasefire...

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

GOLDMAN: “.. we now expect the drag on growth from higher oil prices to roughly offset the boost to growth from the 2025 fiscal bill.” #OBBBA

Of Mr. Trump’s threat “to wipe out the Iranian civilization .. The pope called the threat ‘truly unacceptable’ in remarks to reporters, and .. called those threats a ‘sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction human beings are capable of’ ..”

I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀

The strait is double blocked now. Take that
