WORLD Iran's Control of Hormuz Means It's Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude go through the strait, while it scares off others
• Safari < 口曲近 Russia Set for Oil-Revenue Surge in Coming Weeks on Iran War Halt to Black Sea crude shipments offset benefits of soaring prices last week, but they're coming
So, two of the big winners in the Iran war are … Iranian and Russian oil exporters
The sign, titled “ICE Kidnapping and Ghost Car," is an art project, and a public call for people to pay attention.
“A lot of people have reached out and said we should do this at all the ICE kidnappings," said one of the artists.

Trump is still salty about 2020 now his administration is hitting Smartmatic with federal charges and they’re calling it exactly what it is pure retaliation.
Rotator cuff tears and ruptures are common with anabolic steroid use, too, just sayin
Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of America’s greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity
The piece is actually understated. And every major news organization around the globe should be writing daily about how manifestly unfit Hegseth AND Trump are to be leading a war.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
The bottleneck in the Strait of Hormuz is forcing Kuwait and Iraq to cut oil production. They can't ship it, and they're running out of room to store it.
"Shutting in an oil well risks long-term damage and incurs high restart costs, making it a measure of last resort."

"She doesn't give a shit about the objectivity debate, nor do the Ellisons."
That's media reporter Dylan Byers at his newsletter.
The takeaway is this: It was always a political apointment. It had to be. Bari Weiss did not qualify for the job of running CBS, except ideologically.

Dems are really liking these Texas primary turnout numbers, I'm told. Dems pulled 200,000 more voters out than Republicans did.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
The correct word for killing a lot of people, destroying a lot of things, spending a lot of resources, and ending up back where things started is "failure." Or if you'll allow two words, "avoidable disaster."
I mean when has a hopeful moment of popular uprising against a despised regime ever given way to a new revolutionary government that came to be just as corrupt and repressive and sclerotic as the one it replaced. Certainly never before in Iran.
This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:
“What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”
I refuse to root for Ken Paxton to pull this out because even though I think he’s more beatable I’m old enough to remember thinking that about Trump in 2016.

Texas is close to not being a functioning democracy
It’s the hardest place to vote because Republicans have put impediments in place based on totally bogus vote fraud concerns - that they just make up
The courts have become complicit in this effort
What we’re seeing in Texas now is a disgrace
Here's the letter that caused Thom Tillis to erupt at Kristi Noem. The DHS inspector general claims DHS leaders "systematically obstructed" his inquiries, including in something related to a "specific pending criminal investigation."

This is big-government tyranny and violates the 1st Amendment. Oh, and it's stupid. "The agreement blocks Vanguard from supporting efforts to fight climate change. Vanguard agreed not to advocate that any company it invests in 'take any particular course of conduct to reduce carbon emissions.'”
Today, longtime CBS News producer Mary Walsh told her colleagues that she's leaving the network.
"It's too soon, even after 46 years. But maybe its for the best. We've been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum. Honestly, I don't know how to do that."

Josh Marshall's guidance a few hours before Trump's State of the Union address gave me more to think about than six acres of punditry.
