Iran’s Control of Hormuz Means It’s Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude pass through the strait, while it scares off others that would dare.

An amazing stat:

Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.

It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

Bahrain has brought in anti-riot troops from Jordan as protests grow over the kingdom’s role hosting U.S. forces used in the war with Iran, according to reporting by AΓ­da ChΓ‘vez.

➀ The move marks the first time since the 2011 Arab Spring that Bahrain has deployed foreign forces to contain domestic unrest.
➀ Demonstrations have erupted against the ruling monarchy and Bahrain’s role as a base for U.S. military operations, including the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters.

Tweet from @JBKSchlossberg:

β€œPUERTO RICO SHOULD BE A STATE.

Puerto Rico deserves respect and representation.

The State of Puerto Rico I would welcome.

I would not welcome statehood for DC.

To me, that's different. We need a federal territory for the capitol, it's in Constitution.

JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg, one of the leading primary contenders for New York’s dark blue 12th Congressional District, tweeted in December 2024 that he opposed D.C. statehood.

D.C. voted 85% for statehood in a 2016 referendum. House Dems passed it unanimously in 2021

This is a direct response to Utah courts overturning the GOP’s congressional gerrymander after voters passed a ballot initiative to ban gerrymandering.

Republicans already passed a law to pack the Utah Supreme Court earlier this year

One thing is absolutely clear right now, in the early in-person vote so far, Republicans are ahead. A lot of Western, Republican-dominated localities have more votes so far than they did on the same day equivalent in 2025. There aren't any Spanberger-won localities running ahead

🚨🚨🚨

Something I want to put on everyone’s radar, ESPECIALLY if you live in Virginia.

Data suggests that *Republicans* are out early-voting Democrats in the Virginia redistricting referendum.

When it comes to Virginia, Chaz knows his stuff.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ELECTION, VIRGINIA DEMS!!!

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.

a load-bearing part of Trump getting away with everything is that he’s generally faced with rational actors who do their best to steer around his lunacy but the people making decisions in Iran are a guy whose entire family we just killed and some random IRGC folks and they might just go β€œfuck you”

There’s not going to be any convey escorts.

Do you want to know how embarrassing to US pride if one of our ships is hit or God forbid sunk?

I wouldn’t take that risk unless I was 100% sure Iran wouldn’t fire on ships in the strait.
