The Iranian regime suffers the greatest challenge to its rule in half a century and we choose that month to attack? Wild timing. If they're still in power a year from now, the fix was in: we didn't attack to bring them down, but to prop them up. Iran is a convenient enemy for us.

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

It is already funny but now it’s become far funnier because they know everyone knows and is looking at their shoes but they still have to do this

Even if AI could write a novel what problem has been solved? The problem of knowing what you’re reading was written by another person? Who loves reading novels but hates the part where your mind briefly and mysteriously touched another?

When White House aides are leaking furiously to the media about how all this isn’t their fault if only someone had listened to them is that usually a sign that insiders are confident the policy is going well

I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the shoes, it's another humiliation thing.

If it wasn't, they'd just rebuy the exact same Florsheim shoe in the right size and wear that. But they know he'd notice those aren't the clown shoes he gave them, so they can't do it.

what if our fates were being decided by men wearing shoes to work that don’t fit because they want to please daddy

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

No amount of propaganda should ever convince you that some children don't deserve to grow up.

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

The Democrats!

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

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.

Post from @dougboneparth. The text reads, "I used AI to do my taxes this year, and I'm getting a $100,000 refund. I simply said, 'Do my taxes and make sure I get a $100,000 refund. Make no mistakes.' Simply incredible. AI is the future."

Now this is the proper use of AI.

Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

I just got an email pushing a new book, and ... I'm not going to call out the book itself, cause I don't wanna ruin anyone's day, but ... I am going to subtweet it.

It's yet another book on how the problem with climate change is ... the way we talk about it! "Framing"! "Messaging"!

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves β€” killed in President Trump's military strikes β€” on its front page.

Next time this culture of casual massacre Republicans have created and forced us all to live in ricochets back to hurt one of their own every media outlet will start wringing their hands about political violence as if this guy hasn’t been out here saying loathsome shit like this all along.
