Nationally this war is a Pyrrhic victory. Iran has no reason to trust Trump, and its leverage over the Strait of Hormuz can’t be removed without a prolonged ground war. That leaves him choosing between cutting losses or doubling down on what to many looks like market manipulation.
Jim McGovern continues to go off:
"This farm bill is a disaster. It's awful. It's terrible. It's beyond words. It's a giveaway to Big Ag and chemical companies. There's actually liability protection in this bill for people who make pesticides. Like, who thinks like that?!"
Keep cooking, Jim!

We expect some positive decisions tomorrow on the €90 billion loan to Ukraine.
This would show that our support for Ukraine remains strong and that Russia cannot outlast Ukraine.
My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
In a nutshell. 😊
It’s nice to see him endorse their ability to get stuff done. It would be nice to see his toadies in Congress grow a spine and impeach him. They need to. #Donors don’t donate much to people without power. NFL cheerleaders earn about 99% less than the players.
This is really great news: “Today, the Court recognizes that the right to reproductive autonomy is the right to self-determination” #but it wouldn’t be necessary if the Constitution wasn’t full of holes.
Tomorrow’s the day #Virginia
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
So he’s upset that we know that Netanyahu made the same pitch to him that he’d made to previous US presidents, but this time he’d found a sucker.
I recall a Democrat doing something positive about Iran.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Insanity indeed. If you’re trying to negotiate peace with them, they’ll know you sunk their ship. Slapping them in the face with it in public is only going to get their backs up.
This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
I don’t think I’ve seen any of your non-permanent residents outdoors before.
“This is why the world hates Israel” That’s a superficial take. A single incident like this doesn’t explain ‘why the world hates Israel’. What people are reacting to is a much broader accumulation of government policies and actions over time, not one event in isolation.
A later constitutional amendment can effectively modify, supersede, or reframe earlier provisions, incorporating or replacing parts of them within a new constitutional settlement.
Re the first bit ↓
The rich are screaming 😱 that people with second vacation homes over 5 million dollars will just flock to Florida if you put an extra tax on these poor people! WTF? 🤬 I lived in Florida these are New York SUMMER Vacation homes . You idiots obviously have never been to Florida in the summer
Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.
At least in theory, the ‘madman’ posture was meant to be controlled. The problem is that once unpredictability becomes real rather than strategic, the risk of something going wrong in the moment rises sharply.
This would be one of the good consequences of how I think Democrats should proceed once they have power ↓
Seems like this could be what happens to someone when they realise that they’re the bad guy.
Trump is reportedly being sidelined by his own military leaders amid escalating tensions with Iran.
As he renews war crime threats against Iranian civilian infrastructure and claims of a “deal” fall apart, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz and says, as of now, they plan to skip any talks.
“As a family [you]“ So you’re putting words in the mouths of your family now too. Are you the one deciding for a child who will have to live with the consequences? And you’re judging me now, so you’ve given up discussing the issue and we’re onto ad hominem attacks. Bye bye.
Don’t put words in my mouth.
ALL of that.
And that is some fucked up chicanery of the maximum sort!
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

Most people who engage in spousal abuse do not present as obviously abusive or “bad people” in public. To friends, coworkers, and wider social circles, they often appear normal, responsible, even likeable. Abusive behaviour is typically situational and private, not constant or publicly visible.
Is he talking about his funeral?
