Chris Wright on CNBC claims "we're destroying their ability to threaten energy markets" while B roll plays of a flaming tanker in the Strait of Hormuz
The multi-national oil companies operating in the US make a lot of money. The average American gets screwed. Which pretty much sums up Trump and the Republican Partyβs approach to the economy.
Trump's new NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman: "We're returning to the moon. We're returning to the moon and we're gonna stay. We're gonna build a lunar base."
Disappointed but not surprised.
lmao why is the NASA administrator going on Fox and railing against Iran?
(this is a rhetorical question -- the answer is that nobody in the Trump administration has actual job duties)
βFury?β Thatβs not perhaps the term to choose if you want to reassure the American people and the world that this war youβve started is based on sound strategic judgment.
That and more in today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:
PERINO: There was an X post that talked about a ship safely going through Strait of Hormuz. It wasn't true. People lost money. What have you done to ensure it doesn't happen again? Will you personally approve posts?
WRIGHT: Yes I will. I take full ownership. Very unfortunate. It won't happen again.
SORKIN: If Anthropic is a genuine supply chain risk & this is not a political shakedown, why wouldn't you remove it immediately?
MICHAEL: They're embedded. The president has said we have 6 months to replace them. Until then, we're making sure there's no way their insider threat can do anything
SORKIN: You said you wish Anthropic well, but Bessent said he plans to remove it from Treasury & an could EO remove it from all parts of the govt. An Anthropic lawyer said govt is telling companies not to use it
MICHAEL: I wish them well, but every agency has to follow President Trump's policies
ALERT: Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is announcing that he'll run for re-election this year
Markwayne Mullin might want you to forget some of the stuff he's said, but he isn't recanting them, either.

When Trump announced he was dumping Kristi Noem as his secretary of homeland security and replacing her with Sen. Markwayne Mullin, some framed the decision as a much-needed refresh for a beleaguered agency. But the soon-to-be head of DHS can hardly be considered baggage-free.
DAY AHEAD: Big fight to stop Trump from shuttering and gutting the Kennedy Center

THE HILL SENATE Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/11/26 5:29 PM ET
THE HILL Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups. The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug's widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023. But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed. Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.
While weβre worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CAβ¦
Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone
The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.

The Epstein files need to become the Epstein trials.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing βdeath, physical abuse, or injuryβ from Epstein files release.
Yeah you get a Gift Link for this one.

Just stumbling around trying to figure out how the world works.
Zelensky rules out ceding Donbas to Russia, telling Politico his priority is defending Ukraine's constitution and independence. Ending the war on Russian terms would be a historic mistake, he said. Ukraine has already made serious compromises, but Russia considers them insufficient. #Ukraine
Yes, everything is upside down these days - this will affect an enormous amount of wildlife.
BREAKING: The usually snarky White House account has not responded to Iranβs attacks on social media! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Yeah but heβs building a badass ballroom.
why donβt they care that they are supporting a pedophile whose kink was girls who looked like his daughter Ivanka
At this rate Trump might have to release the rest of the Epstein files to distract from gas prices.
Winning!
