Holy crap. When you’ve hit the “I used to be something” state, you’re really low.

Truth Social CEO out after $1.1 billion in losses Former Congressman Devin Nunes is leaving the floundering social media network.

Devin Nunes was not an obvious choice to run a fledgling social media network, but after $1.1 billion in losses, the former dairy farmer and congressman is out as the head of Truth Social. 🫠

The Hormuz situation seems so so bad, like gonna-destabilize-half-the-globe-and-tank-the-economy bad, with no obvious resolution even plausible, and it’s still getting the “distant crisis mostly of interest to nerds that will work itself out” treatment in American press

Portland Trail Blazers Buyer Tom Dundon Built His Fortune on Subprime Loans In 2020, the state sued Santander Consumer USA for allegedly preying on Oregonians through high-interest car loans they couldn’t afford in a case involving more than 265,000 borrowers nationwide.

New Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is all over the news as details come out of all the penny-pinching he's done since taking over the NBA team.

This probably won't come as a surprise to folks familiar with how Dundon amassed his wealth from sketchy subprime auto loans:

DHS Secretary Warns They’re Close to Not Being Able to Pay Employees New Secretary Markwayne Mullin tried to browbeat Democrats into ending the dragging Department of Homeland Security shutdown.

“After we get through April … I’ve got one payroll left and there is no more emergency funds, so the president can’t do another executive order for us to use money because there’s no more money there.”

'Sugar daddy' sex scandal explodes inside Trump's counterterrorism HQ A top-level Trump counterterrorism official is under investigation amid claims she actively seeks out sugar daddies to maintain her exorbitant lifestyle, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.

Trump's DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, Julia Varvaro, is on a Sugar Daddy website. She describes herself as flirty, fun and "drawn to a masculine man who’s attentive, protective, and quietly playful for mutually beneficial experiences.” www.dailymail.com/news/article...

Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.

This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.

But he’s the one who is actually doing it.

Friends, meet @joannamendoza.com. Daughter of farmworkers. Veteran of twenty years. Mom. And the Democrat who is going to flip Arizona's 6th District blue in 2026.

The polls currently say it's a toss-up. You know what that means? Every single dollar counts.

The risk pool would be a lot cleaner without HIM in it.

My hometown of Nashville -- a blue city which went about two-thirds for Harris-Walz in 2024 -- was gerrymandered by the TN GOP into three different districts all represented by Republicans now, so please get in line to complain about how unfair this all is, Virginia Republicans

OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America


SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

New Gas-Powered Data Centers Could Emit More Greenhouse Gases Than Entire Nations A WIRED review of permits for data center projects using natural gas and linked to OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and xAI shows they could emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year.

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math.

less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women

Priceless post from the official White House social media

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

“Global prices of jet fuel have risen more than 70 percent since the start the war at the end of February”

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Refuse to opt in to what? There was an effort underway in Indiana to build out the network of EV charging stations. A giant EV battery plant was under fast-track construction in IN by a GM-Samsung partnership. All now shuttered because of TRUMP explicitly. The sabotage starts at the federal level.

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

Investigating the Good Guys DOJ claims the Southern Poverty Law Center was "paying off" the Ku Klux Klan. The group's track record and common sense suggest otherwise.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There was a concerted effort under Dem administrations to move toward renewables and position the U.S. at the forefront of green technology. It’s why Detroit shifted so heavily to EVs and battery plants to support them. Now that’s all been reversed and we will always be behind China. Disastrous.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?

The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”

They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.
