While Republicans celebrate the price of *barrels* of oil dropping, the rest of us havenβt seen gas drop a single penny.

A surviving senior Iranian leader issued a chilling threat against Donald Trump in response to his own warning of "Death, Fire and Fury."
Russia is a winner here, but Iβd argue China will ultimately come out on top.
They have a predicate for taking Taiwan, and have seen the mightiest military in the world be completely unprepared for multifont conflict because of weak civilian leadership.
The goalposts are continuously being pushed, and yet MAGA just keeps kicking into the wind.

BLITZER: Did it reassure you at all that President Trump seemed to soften his previous assertion that Iran was actually behind that deadly strike?
WARNER: Yeah, I was glad to hear it
(This is not a thing that happened! Trump blamed Iran for the strike during his latest press conference yesterday!)

Thanks for the advice, Fortune.
I almost bought a bunch of multimillion-dollar mansions cash.
Phew.
As long as you donβt need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things arenβt so bad.
Weβve distanced ourselves from our allies and cozied up to our enemies.
Itβs the entire Trump playbook.
Congressional Republicans can say what they want about Nancy Pelosi, but she presided over a House of Representatives that mattered.
Mike Johnsonβs legacy will be a chamber of negligible importance and the weakness.
Trump has literally assembled the worst Survivor Series team in history.
New in PN: The worst cabinet in history
"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

Nice iPhone shot of Orion tonight.
Weird that the guy who said grocery and energy prices would come down and weβd stay out of Middle East quagmires has done the exact opposite.
Thoughts and prayers to the MAGA tying themselves into pretzels to justify how *any* of this is America First.

The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didnβt cause it.
At the moment, rising gas prices pose a greater risk to my well-being than Iran ever did.
MAGA Jesus be like:
Rising oil prices pose a greater threat to my well-being than Iran ever did.

Whatβs heβs really saying is βHeβs dragging all of us down with him, and Iβm in too deep to admit that maybe Donald Trump wasnβt such a good idea.β
I feel like Pete Hegseth is now just doing a parody of Colin Jost doing a parody of Pete Hegseth.

At the end of the day, we have a reality show president.
The only qualification to be in his circle is donβt look bad on TV.
He lies through his teeth. He changes his mind continuously. He acts on whim. Heβs driven by vengeance, hate and money. He wants more power for no good but only to feed his insatiable broken ego that never gets enough. Woe to everything you may love. Giving up or giving in are not options.
Nostadumbasses.
16 Republicans.
Fetterman won't vote either the Dems
