The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Reporter: If you don’t have a deal by Wednesday, will you extend the ceasefire or restart attacks? Trump: Maybe I won’t extend it… and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.

Peace when markets are open

War when markets are closed

I will not be lectured about Swalwell — or anything, really — by anyone who still supports Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This GOP war with the Pope might be the new dumbest thing they’ve done, and as usual, it’s completely self-inflicted.

It’s frustrating, but not unexpected, that the administration has continued to downplay China and Russia’s involvement in helping Iran target US troops.

If/when this ceasefire fails, I would expect to see a big initial strike from Iran - they’ve had plenty of time to plan.

My thoughts on the Swalwell stuff.

Notice how Democrats always hold their own accountable and Republicans just yell fake news, no matter how vile the evidence is?

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.

We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Disgusting.

This is why mass pardoning people for politics is never a good idea.

I understand why people feel this way, but it's actually quite sad to think that most people have more confidence in Quarter Pounders with Cheese than they do the Congress of the United States. I hope that I and others can rectify this in the fall.

Like a mantra:

Another world is possible.
Another world is possible.
Another world is possible.

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign.

Pass it on.

For the record, I was a Swalwell supporter and had planned on voting for him in the primary. Me believing the women was not political. It's based on the corroboration of evidence confirmed by multiple news outlets, and the Manhattan DA finding enough evidence exists to open a criminal probe.

I absolutely adore your podcast. I’ve missed it the last couple of weeks. You and your sister are simply amazing. Always leave wishing I had sisters.

If you’re still asking why Eric Swalwell got exposed now please read this.

This is the type of energy we need.

1. Americans shouldn’t root for the US to lose. It’s like rooting for your plane to crash.

2. People shouldn’t celebrate returning to worse than the status quo like it’s an accomplishment. It’s like losing steak for a shit sandwich.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

4 shipped made it through the Strait of Hormuz today.

Iran still controls their uranium and over half their ballistic missiles.

But hey, at least a bunch of Trump’s close friends made bank making anonymous bets on Polymarket!

Threatening war crimes is an immediate disqualification, not a “oops” you can cancel out with a 14-day truce. He’s volatile, he’s dangerous, and he’s unfit to continue. Remove him.

Seriously, what the fuck is this.

This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

“He didn’t literally mean he would wipe out an entire civilization”

Then he shouldn’t have fucking said it.

He’s the President of the United States. He has sole launch authority over the world’s most sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and words mean things.

Nice little mask off moment for the GOP here

Everyone understands this ceasefire was just so Trump didn’t look weak for not obliterating all of Iran’s critical infrastructure, right?

Iran is already claiming the US gave them the OK to enrich uranium, so these talks almost certainly aren’t going to go anywhere.

Guys, listen.

We can-and should-debate the wisdom of the war in Iran.

You all know I’m not a fan.

I’m never going to root against one of ours coming home, though. You shouldn’t either.

If politics has you rooting for people who want to kill Americans, you should take a step back.

A note to ex pilots, SOF guys, etc:

Maybe shut the fuck up about the intricacies of SERE training.

It’s great that the WSO was able to escape and evade, but you don’t have to tell everyone how.

Pam bondi ignoring Epstein survivors

may this define her for the rest of her life.

she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired.

girl, bye.

According to the Times:

Just to recap:

Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops.

In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Convicted Felon Donald Trump attending today’s birthright citizenship arguments at SCOTUS is such a transparent attempt to intimidate the justices.

But it just makes him look WEAK and PATHETIC.

Trump reeks of desperation.
