Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter
The ones that go on Fox and counsel caution will be viewed as disloyal.
I lost my job, my kids have measles, and gas is six dollars a gallon. But at least now they’re not tearing down a statue of a Confederate general that I’ve never heard of in a city that I’ve never been to.
He truly thought a decapitation strike would end it, bc he can’t imagine- he really can’t at all- he can’t imagine a cause lasting past an individual
… but he still has 3 more years in office. I hope the midterms’ outcome will neuter his agenda.
Headline from Twitter: “6 US Airmen Killed in KC-135 Crash During Iraq Airstrikes”
Is this a Grok-generated headline? Airstrikes in Iraq???
Is the SecDef using a lectern, or is that a pulpit?
Derek Thompson @DKThomp. 9h The Iran War could trigger a global economic crisis and you won't find a better summary of why than this one sentence from Rachel Ziemba below. Yes, this is about gas prices. But it's also about: -the cost of food (fertilizer inputs are stuck) the cost of computer chips (LNG and helium are stuck) -the cost of green energy (sulphuric acid produced by refineries is used to extract COPPER, which is used to make EVs, transformers, etc, is stuck) - the cost of moving anything anywhere (jet and container fuel) We've snapped the thin ACL of the global economy with no clear plan to surgically repair it. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow strip of water between the United Arab Emirates and Iran, through which more than 20 percent of global oil transits, 20 percent of seaborne liquefied natural gas, 30 percent of seaborne fertilizer, and a growing amount of global container traffic.
Derek has a good thread about what the prolonged closure could result in.

I think you can pay some Schedule C employees more than the GS scale to entice them to take government jobs.
This has “Sharpie drawing of a hurricane’s path” vibes.
The fact that a FGO puts the physical pillar first (with all of its micro-tactical requirements) tells me he shouldn’t be a FGO. IDGAF if the brigade commander fires expert on his pistol.
For decades, cumbersome CPAP machines have been the primary way to help people with sleep apnea. A range of new options has recently come into focus. www.wired.com/story/sleep-...
Joe Rogan *actually is* that naive.
Stick to stand up.
Media coverage of this needs to start with informing people that the JCPOA existed, what it did, that it was working, & that Trump unilaterally destroyed it, & inform them that anything now is almost certain to fall short of that.

Ok - I was imagining a purpose-built stand (like the kind that held old-time wash basins) for fruit baskets received as a gift (get well, congratulations, etc). I was wondering how many gift baskets they were giving and receiving.
I want to know what a fruit basket stand is and why anyone would need one.
For Pete’s sake - it’s two simple English words compounded together. He couldn’t figure that out? Age limits and term limits, please.
Time for unc to hang it up or get better staff. He doesn’t come off as particularly knowledgeable by pronouncing it that way.
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 don’t know who did it or who is at fault but the attempts at rationalization by saying “why would they put a school in a military compound?” is a perfect encapsulation of the civ-mil divide
We too have schools on military bases folks
Yeah… that statement. Not even close to accurate.
Also: Iran was 2-4 weeks from having a nuclear weapon. Really???
I’m sure the Saudis would have taken action well before that if there was any chance of Iran “taking over” the Middle East.
This belief is from the same man who said people were eating cats and dogs in Ohio.
How about Don Jr and Eric?
Even for a Grandpa Just Says Things lie, “Iran has some tomahawks” is an all-timer
Snippets from the press conference:
- New word - “mutilization” when speaking of transgender surgery.
- Marco Rubio will probably be our best Secretary of State. Hello? What?
