this was always the most obvious and likely result. It's almost as if going whole hog galvanizes a nation.

I know it's really unlikely, but with so many billionaires moving to Florida, wouldn't it be funny if they ended trapping themselves if the state somehow flips solely on a full-court-press on a wealth tax. "They don't love our state, they don't care about you, they just love hoarding money."

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

You really need to watch this whole clip. It's amazing.

Ready for more talk about Trump's anointing?

The Iranian Regime Doubles Down Trump was hoping for an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez. Instead he may have produced an Iranian Kim Jong Un.

Trump may have hoped the elimination of Khamenei would produce an Iranian Delcy Rodríguez but it has instead spawned a budding Iranian Kim Jong Un, writes @ksadjadpour.bsky.social

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.

“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say

They neglected to consider this because they were so laser focused on: 1) bomb Iran -> 2) provokes retaliatory Iranian terrorism vs. the domestic US -> 3) impose martial law! shut down 2026 election!

Btw those of you looking for evidence of tariff prices inside the Feb CPI it’s on vivid display. Appliance costs jumped 3.1% & apparel costs soared 1.3% the most in eight years. #Econ #EconSky

my level of annoyance at the easy pitches James is getting is wildly outscored by the delight at him hitting the shots he’s supposed to. they give you batting practice balls, you better hit dingers.

Cracking article, including on constitutional elements of Trump and Maga.

Contains wonderful line: “Regime change was the plan, but Trump finds it easier to change plans than regimes.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi has quietly relocated to one of several military bases in the Washington area where other Trump administration officials also live, after facing threats from drug cartels and critics of her actions in handling the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to people familiar with the situation. Ms. Bondi moved from an apartment in the city within the past month in response to an array of threats flagged to her staff by federal law enforcement, these people said, including an uptick in criticism of Ms. Bondi, and threats relayed by investigators. One catalyst was an increase in threats following the capture and prosecution of President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela in January, according to a senior official with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss security matters.

So Bondi moved into military housing like everyone else. NYT says ONE reason is bc she's in charge of prosecuting VZ's president (weird. Merrick Garland didn't have to hide during JOH prosecution).

Wanna bet that a more pressing one is her shenanigans re Epstein?

“We’re not starting a war, we’re ending one” was a Russian talking point on Ukraine — four years ago.

Politically, this is incredibly stupid, but as a policy matter it’s also incredibly stupid.

The Democrats!

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

A show of hands?

'“It’s looking like the Iranian regime is still intact and, if anything, is going to be hardened when all of the dust settles. And they’ll probably be more intent than ever in getting a nuclear weapon...”

“So it’s going to be very difficult to sell the American population on the success...”'

Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire:

Democrats: 28

Republicans: 0
