Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
The FBI Director's security detail requested a SWAT battering ram because he was passed out drunk and unresponsive behind locked doors.
How does this man still have a job???
kash patel and pete hegseth are DUI hires.
Kash Patel drinks until he can see straight.
Shoutout to BBC for finally reporting on trump's insider trading after literally everybody else on social media.
trump wants to investigate everything except his assassination attempt.
Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.
Trump did this 👇🏽
THIS VIRGINIA VOTER NAILS IT 💥

“…as Democrats, we simply can’t come to a boxing match when the person brings a knife. We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”
Sunday at noon Eastern.
I'll be discussing the how surveillance powers could be used—and abused—by the Trump administration and others in future.

Worried about granting the Trump administration renewed and unconstrained surveillance powers?
You should be.

"But it isn’t just that Trump low on options: He barely seems to understand what’s going on in the conflict. His pronouncements—whether threats, triumphant announcements, or descriptions of what’s underway in the strait—resemble reality less with every passing day." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
WSJ: "Aides kept the president out of the room."
"It’s worth dwelling for a moment on this remarkable detail. Aides—presumably senior military officials in particular—believed that they had to exclude the president from the decision-making if it were to succeed."

I haven't been to a WHCA dinner in years, but I don't criticize others for attending if they choose--it's a free country. But if you go, you don't need to sit there and listen respectfully to Trump, who deserves no such respect. Just walk out quietly and politely before he speaks, and return after.
Trump is on TV now talking about perhaps resuming the bombing of Iran.
Almost two months since he started the war.
And the position of GOP members of Congress is that the people's representatives in Congress should have no say on this. They really do think Trump should have the power of a king.
"Gender bias in firing incompetent cabinet secretaries is not the most important indictment of the Trump administration. But it’s worth noting. And it’s worth stressing that the problem isn’t that he’s fired the women. The problem is that he hasn’t fired the men." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
"But even more striking is the contrast between the professionalism and expertise of a military that was shaped prior to this administration, and the buffoonery and incompetence of the cabinet members of this administration."

Oil prices continue to surge thanks to the orange felon’s illegal war in Iran.
We are seeing in real time the equivalent of how he bankrupted his trashy casinos.
Prince passed away 10 years ago today.
RIP, your music lives on.
ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
Don’t forget to vote Yes today! 💚
Trump on whether he needs congressional oversite. "I think we're just gonna kill people."
Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.
Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.
Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
Here's how it works. https://youtu.be/p1fPbGHe3xE?si=QZRQImV8KYD5Y90r
Trump has destabilized the globe. That is a fact. He started a baseless war. That is a fact. He had no plan for this war. That is obvious. Yet despite terrible prices on everything, people do his bidding and follow him. Cult.
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?
Child: Mayor.
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
