While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing.

Modern Republicanism is making up a thing to be scared about and then using that as the basis for policy
As the Atlantic’s Franklin Foer explains: Almost no other foreign-policy question has been studied harder over the past 20 years or so than the likely effect of U.S. military strikes on Iran. The many years spent pondering and preparing for a potential attack on Iran are the reason that the first days of the war were, for the most part, a bravura display of American power. Yet all of that study also pointed out the risks: spiking oil prices, the spread of violence throughout the Middle East, civilian casualties of the sort now evidenced by an apparent U.S. missile strike near an Iranian elementary school. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.
From @dandrezner.bsky.social's newsletter this AM. These are the same assholes who showed up to class never having done the reading, yet supremely confident they could bullshit their way through discussion before leaving early to do keg stands at the KA house while catcalling the women who walk by
When George Wallace became governor of Alabama, he wanted to form a special state militia whose members would be specially trained in "judo and other forms of self defense"
It's like the bank rush scene in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE but he's trying to explain that all our money is in ExxonMobil's house, and ConocoPhillips' house, and ...
it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too
Thrilled to see my terrific colleague @bethlewwilliams.bsky.social won the Bancroft. So well deserved.

Tennessee Republicans gerrymandered the state to carve up metro Nashville into three different congressional districts, and this is the result -- a large Muslim community whose own "representative" is now endangering them.
I had the privilege of teaching officers of the U.S. military for three years, and I just want to say that they take their jobs much more seriously than these assholes and (without presuming to speak on their behalf) probably hate this shit.
Love the guy but Christ, 85?
I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.

"Jennifer Schuessler has meticulously documented the destruction since the beginning... But there’s something about seeing a callow young man blank out when asked why he destroyed so much that really brings home the mindless destruction of this campaign." www.lawandchaospod.com/p/doge-bros-...
Again, for the record: Duffy is just making things up.
My kids—some younger than 14—take the subway to school daily. And we have no fears, except that the easily-distracted one may miss their stop.
My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers — not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:
Acid rain fell on Tehran; tankers trapped near Hormuz. A DOGE engineer alleged to walk out of Social Security with 500M citizens data. Epstein-linked real estate brothers convicted on all sex trafficking counts.

Two of America's top luxury real estate brokers were just convicted on 10 counts of sex trafficking. Their industry called it an "open secret" and kept booking them anyway.
