My guess: There's a bunch of polling and focus group evidence showing that "No Tax on Tips/Overtime" were extremely persuasive Trump 2024 policy platforms for swing Hispanic/Black/Young/Male voters and Dems are trying to capture that.
1. Jewish civilians and synagogues should NEVER be the target of political violence related to Israel. It's really unfortunate I have to keep saying that
2. This development needs to worry every American, because attacks inside the US only empower the worst aspects of the national security state
In addition to scaring the fuck out of our Jewish comrades, this is the shit that can get some otherwise reasonable but very scared people to sign onto the type of crackdown Trump needs to seize power. Show ZERO TOLERANCE for it.
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
Sorry gotta go. I lost the social security trust fund on Robinhood.
We can finally talk about Epstein again
The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties:
-Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one?
-Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him?
-Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?
Is that @daveweigel.bsky.social's music?
Trump Cabinet members can have a little market manipulation, as a treat.
Gonna be so many empty oil drums, it'll come back around.
I mean it’s six billion gallons of oil a week over 80 miles of land, Michael. How many trucks could it take—ten?
I'm just a guy, but if the Pentagon had asked me, I would have told them this was all a dumb idea. Maybe they should have asked.
Incredible to remember that Israel attacked energy infrastructure first.
Here's my bottom line:
Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.
Javier Blas @JavierBlas Final comment on IEA release: If the shortfall is such that it requires a 400 million barrels release, surely demand measures should had been approved too: fuel switching (oil-to-coal, gas-to-coal); societal behaviour (lower highway speed limits, lower AC/heating use), and fuel pollution waivers. Yet, all the above measures are politically incorrect today, either for the right or the left. The IEA nations are responding with only half their play book (the supply side, ignoring the demand side). 4:53 PM · Mar 11, 2026 · 9,275 Views https://x.com/JavierBlas/status/2031835847750787098
nobody [in the g7] wants to ask their publics to bear any burdens, particularly given how stupid this war is
We're condemned to relive 2016 every 6 months b/c some Nazi on X will deceptively clip a Democrat, including one without any political future, saying something as banal as "It would be good if Trump did good things and not bad things" and every Bernie deadender will lick the slop from the bowl.
Unbelievable. Just another propagandist like all the rest.
The gall of making me defend HRC in 2026. You could simply be mad at her for her actual positions, not pretend she's out here praising Trump for the Iran War.
Here's the video. From last year. Where Clinton says she's somewhat encouraged that NATO and European allies were doing more on defense. That's it. That's the context. Your ears lied because you heard what you wanted to. youtu.be/L4h9wllCtLo?...
Is the case "I believe whatever Nazis on Twitter want me to believe"?
Starting to feel like the Tennessee Holler people have just gone full antisemite.
He did date a Chinese honeypot.
for literally my entire life every single Republican Presidency has left the country in crisis such that the next Democratic President has to spend most of their time cleaning it up
All of the underlings know that the real problem is the man in the chair. Will anyone tell the public the truth? The president is a demented psychopath.
Pope Leo XIV’s Vatican newspaper is the only publication in the Western world to run the photograph of 150 Iranian girls' graves — killed in President Trump's military strikes — on its front page.
He's right about everything. It said so on his hat.
He knows he's not King of America, either, right?
Sometime good do happen

Its full-time director will serve as a counterweight to the U.S. solicitor general in federal criminal cases. The first will be former Kagan clerk and SG atty Ashley Robertson.
