they're gonna spend $50B re-opening the Strait of Hormuz over the next 6 months and then act like it's this huge victory when they only thing they accomplished was restoring the pre-war status quo
Vouchers are and always were a scam.
Viktor Orbán, who has repeatedly talked publicly about seizing a large swath of western Ukraine following a Russian victory, suddenly posts that Hungary will not be a Ukrainian colony. Vladimir Putin approves.

Exactly the kind of gaming of government data we expected from this cabal of lying cheaters.

An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.
👇🎯 You know, the ones that Democrats passed, & literally <halved> child poverty, before everyone lost their stuff about temporary single digit inflation, memory-holed who (the GOP) was solely responsible for blocking their extension, & started pretending Barack Obama was more liberal than Joe Biden.
Oh so a bribe.
Hilarious. This DC native, who even got the paper by MAIL after moving away, is never coming back. Thanks, Bezos, for ruining something I loved.
😅
Almost! 😖
67/ "Iran war is becoming a global disaster. US cannot declare victory without the Strait of Hormuz being open. Regardless of Trump’s victory rhetoric, oil prices soaring. Major inflation coming fast.
Victory rhetoric meets the Escalation Trap."
-Robert Pape escalationtrap.substack.com
This is literally almost word for word how the escalation trap is described
Robert A. Pape: Seizing Kharg would block Iran oil exports— but means more oil off the global market, further increasing oil prices and inflation on US consumers. It wont prevent Iran’s drone from hitting tankers. Escalation continues to favor Iran and its long war strategy.
I can go to bed early tonight! 😊
Roger Stone would be proud of this dirty trick.
Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
“Stupendously overt corruption,“ in Tim Snyder’s evocative phrase.
The stupid, it burns.
That’s one word for it. I’m partial to “treason,” though.
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
“Barbaric” IS the word. No “almost” about it.
This is my shocked face. 🙄
😅 I recognize my tribe!
Joohn has been doing AMAZING analytical work lately.
This story—and this corruption—is so bizarre!
Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.
But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.
Everyone with a platform should be screaming that Trump is unfit to be commander-in-chief. www.wsj.com/politics/nat... gift link
