Americans have collectively spent ~$17.6 billion dollars more on gasoline than they did on March 1, roughly $15 billion more, in my estimation, due to the US attacks on Iran. Today added ~$388 million more to the total, down from a peak of $455 million more on 4/8.
I've had conservatives insist to me that Obama caused the housing market crash in 2007/2008.
“Biden closed the economy during Covid”
Obama certainly got blamed for TARP and the other unpopular Wall Street bailouts that mostly happened under Bush. Later, there was an entire news cycle blaming Obama for bailed-out AIG paying big bonuses (which Obama had no control over or authority to stop because of how Bush designed the bailouts)
This is genuinely one of the foundational copes of the modern conservative movement, a stabbed-in-the-back narrative about why the US lost Vietnam
Him as chair is gonna be a ride
The future of warfare and the death of the citizen soldier. Hmm...I dunno but all this seems like it may have larger social and political ramifications.
AMERICA FIRST!
I was in Nebraska last week, where the Strait of Hormuz crisis is hitting home on family farms that can't afford to fertilize the crops.
That, plus a looming aluminum shortage, in the latest edition of Aftermath, our pop-up newsletter on the consequences of the war.

Wow:
More Corruption from the felon.
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
He’s playing both sides of the fence. Machiavelli would be proud of that 'half-sense' hustle.🍷
Expelling Tony Gonzales and Eric Swalwell from Congress could have a chilling effect on future Congressmen's ability to sexually harass their staff members.
Is this why we went to WAR???

On a cloudy day, in England, in April!
I like Tim Onion better
This is a great distillation of the era we live in: powerful people accommodating to the power by means of corruption
Wtf he manages to whitewash his role and make half sense. I’m convinced he knew this was always the plan, we knew!!!!

Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's assistant attorney general for civil rights, has been among the fiercest culture warriors in an administration crowded with them (via Bloomberg Opinion)
That Epstein masseuse was pretty convincing to turn him over
hey, Patel is hard at work looking for Nancy Guthrie! (Imagine for a moment that a Democratic FBI director was partying in Milan with the men's hockey team. Jim Jordan would blow a gasket.)
its foxnews on cnbc now
Three GOP Senators in a row on CNBC. Then Trump.
you: we need 24/7 trading
me: it's nothing but bad actors and bad outcomes - in a 2 minute span someone jammed CAR from $640 to $690 on less than 5k shares at 4:22 EST
$500k of volume should not equate to $2b in market cap
thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Trump, talking about the cost of Fed renovations, just making up numbers. He says it will cost "more than $4 billion."
The initial cost estimate for re-doing two buildings was $1.9 billion. The estimate today is $2.5 billion.
