Another war Trump started and lost

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.

In a nutshell. 😊

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

Reports say Netanyahu pitched war with Iran to every U.S. president—and got rejected every time. Then he switched tactics: skip the briefing, make a video, and aim it at the one guy too impatient to read and too impulsive to think.
#TrumpIsDumbAsFuck

I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.

Chris Murphy: So now WE are closing the Strait. This is - just in case you were wondering - as dumb as it sounds. It’s a classic case of one tragic mistake begetting another because of out of control hubris and pride.

Trump attended a UFC fight and then spent the next day golfing, giving JD Vance a wide berth to fail at everything. This is an administration at the top of its game!

Exactly!

Fox News points out that Trump’s claim about all the Iranian leaders being dead is undermined by the fact his administration is negotiating with Iranian leaders right now

Mood in Budapest this morning: opposition Tisza supporters waving to cars as they encourage people to vote tomorrow. Orban is set to lose big time. If you can feel the wind of change, follow me

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.

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history.

By 2060, China will only be using fossil fuels for 9% of its electricity generation. 50% of total generation will be solar, 30% will be wind. That means China is not only killing big oil but also big coal. Renewables are currently outpacing demand growth so they will be retiring old plants from now

You should definitely read this ...

CNN: The White House is claiming it was the president's tough rhetoric that brought Iran to its knees


MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I'm sorry. That's not 'tough rhetoric.' It's insanity. It's calling for the murder of an entire civilization

Hall of fame FT correction

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback.

Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project.

America is fed up with data centers.

HOWLING

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

Prime Minister Sanchez:

“.. Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🇪🇸

After yesterday, we know exactly how far Republicans will go to stay silent. All the way to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.

Two weeks, of course, just like tariffs
