as unlikely as it may seem, somehow the Shitwit Brigade of Witkoff, Kushner and Couchfuck McGee were actually making headway — but then Preznit Fuckwit started posting once again about how he was going to bomb the shit out of Iran if they didn’t dance to his tune, at which point the Iranian negotiating team was all ‘why the fuck are we even talking to you?’

so, Donny's ace team of parking lot negotiators were actually close to a deal with Iran, when Donny blew it all up by tweeting infantile threats. awesome job, you fucking idiot. take a victory lap. I mock all that shit in today's post. thank you for your attention to it. link is here: bit.ly/3QkGa5v

I am not the first to mention this but a pocket square is supposed to be mostly hidden in your pocket, why would u have a First amendment pocket square

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

Iran called off the Bluesky DDOS when they saw how much we shared the Lego videos.

fairly decent chance this is actually true lol

At Atlantic staff meetings, I politely nod after explaining basic things to Conor Friedersdorf. But in my hip-hop heart, I'm like and if you don't know, now you know.

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Winter storm warning for Sierra as another multi-foot dump expected The National Weather Service warns of “significant reductions in visibility at times” and “major travel delays” from heavy snow, gusty winds and potential lightning.

A looming storm is forecast to drop more than 2 feet of snow in parts of the Sierra, prompting the weather service to issue winter storm warnings. It’s the second round of winter storm warnings this month in the Sierra, a rarity for April.

Snow drought won't be wiped out, but this will help some.

Imagine how great America could be if wealthy pedophiles were prosecuted for their crimes and Americans were at a place where women could win the Presidential vote.

Not off to a great start

The President of the United States is an idiot.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

This is the third high profile alleged case of this:

Karolyin Leavitt's brother's baby mama
Amanda Ungaro (baby mama to Paolo Zampolli
And this

Leavitt's brother's effort to deport his son's mother thus far has failed AFAIK.

If Trump is so great at making deals, why is he sending JD and Jared and Steve to negotiate instead of doing it himself?

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

New military fatigues will have stenciled “Face Towards Enemy” on rear of pants.

I applaud Pete Hegseth for doing away with the U.S. military's woke flu-vaccine mandate. TRUE warfighters know their lethality is only ENHANCED by explosive diarrhea. Libs will never understand that a fever is just God warming your body for the battle ahead.

(1/X) People sometimes wonder how things got so crazy in this country. Well, look back at the '90s: for Clinton impeachment, you had Alan Dershowitz on Geraldo arguing against impeachment and Jon Turley arguing for it. All three of course became Trumpers.

On various topics around feminism....

John Roberts Is Always a Republican First In public, the chief justice loves talking about how the Supreme Court’s work is not political. His leaked memos reveal just how political the Supreme Court’s work actually is.

In my view, John Roberts's most impressive PR accomplishment is persuading an entire generation of Supreme Court commentators that he is anything other than a Republican politician who uses legalese to implement policies that Republican voters want

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.

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

Oh no!

As a Democrat, I now feel cleaner; vaguely ineffectual and in constant argument with every other Democrat, sure, but definitely cleaner.

no actually, “we gerrymander as revenge for their gerrymander” is the bad stuff. if you can’t win with a level playing field, tilting the field is not a long- or even medium-term solution (and nationalizing state politics is also bad)
