Ok but Trump’s odds of winning the First Annual FIFA War Prize are shooting up
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
James Fishback likely will not be the next governor of Florida. But he represents a rise of antisemitism and racism that started as trolling for trolling's sake to sincere beliefs among young men on the right. Good @michellegoldberg.bsky.social piece.

SCOTUS, 6-3 decision: an action this important requires approval by the Islamic Consultative Assembly.
In a concurrence, Thomas and Alito reserve the possibility that the Ayatollah could make this decision on his own if that was the common expectation in 1979.
By now it should be obvious to all that he is building his resume for the 1st Annual FIFA War Prize
Here’s a candidate: the 36th Congress. 2 months to elect a Speaker, no real legislation before the 1860 election, watches the Union disintegrate, then in desperation tried to pass a Constitutional amendment promising that Congress will never limit slavery.

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!
Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.
Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.
Donald Trump in 2012:
The last few days have been a reminder that Republican party government is mostly aimed toward a return to unstable, arbitrary, personalist rule
Weird. He's nationalizing his biggest donor's superior competitor.
The obvious solution is going to Congress for new legal authority, perhaps using the reconciliation process to avoid a filibuster. The fact that, one year in, he won't even consider it tells us that:
a) he could never get the votes
b) he just cannot accept the constitutional separation of powers.
This week in the USA
* DOJ withheld & removed Epstein files involving Trump
* President used constitutionally-mandated SOTU message to call opposition party “crazy,” “sick,” destroying the country
* Plans revealed for gold currency coin featuring image of the sitting president
A litmus test for any serious Democratic presidential candidate in 2028 is their commitment to tear down every ostentatious monument Donald Trump has built for himself and restore the spirit of austere republicanism
I think it would be great if we started trying to normalize the idea that the Framers could have gotten things wrong.
They simply didn't anticipate that there would be a significant population inside the District. Making it so that no one lives inside of the federal district is in alignment.
Meme of Trump-to-NYT translator: Trump: ... THE SOMALI PIRATES RANSACKED MINNESOTA ... EVEN AS HE WAS GUSHING BLOOD, WHICH WAS FLOWING BACK DOWN THE AISLE HELICOPTER LANDS AT A STEEP ANGLE .... BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HAMAS WORKED ALONG WITH ISRAEL AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG, AND THEY DUG... I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR... NYT Translation: In his first State of the Union address of his second✩ term, President Trump offered a rosy portrait of a U.S. that has lost confidence in his leadership.
that part of you that has to smell the rotten milk in the back of the fridge wants to JOIN US. I'll be in glasses, no makeup, and a sweatshirt: there are no rules anymore
In contrast, Bezos’s ex-wife gave away $7.2b in 2025, the most given by anyone in a single year since Fortune began tracking this in 2012 - and more than Bezos has given in his whole lifetime.
