1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike.
2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine.
3. Trump is Russia First.

I haven’t seen a single statement that the White House is outraged that they accidentally killed 165 kids
The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or “serious legal questions” coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.
Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:
Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.
He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.
I am in constant coordination with security and intelligence officials, including at @caloes.bsky.social, to monitor potential threats to California — including those tied to the conflict in the Middle East.
Perhaps it was a bad thing to give a scumbag abuser the power to decide life and death all around the world
Not one Democrat - in the House or Senate - not one single Democrat should vote to fund even one dollar of Trump’s illegal, stupid war. Not one fucking dollar to help fund this war.
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.

There is no real endgame in sight with Trump's war with Iran.
Markets are roiling and gas prices are surging.
How can the President of the United States explain this to the American people?
Members of Congress file court motion asking judge to stop Trump's plan for 250-foot tall Arch in DC
Filing: Only Congress "has the authority to approve the placement of monuments and memorials on federal land in the District of Columbia"

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

He’s going to declare victory and leave.
This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.
Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
An administration of misfits who don't fit into their shoes.

He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.
CNN: Why isn't the US Navy escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz?
SEN. RICK SCOTT: I can't tell you the answer to that, but I think right now it's still a dangerous situation. It's gonna take a while for us to get control of the Strait of Hormuz.
That’s a rare downbeat note from Kudlow.
KILMEADE: The New York Times claims you guys were caught by surprise that the price of oil went up. Is that true?
BURGUM: Ahum. Completely fake news there, obviously.
Per the Bible, Jesus specifically identified himself with the poor, the people others turn away (and he suggested you likely go to hell if u do that), and those in prisons
Seems like something we should’ve had a plan for before we started the war. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rick Scott: "Is it gonna be easy to get the Strait or Hormuz open? It never was gonna be easy."
(The Strait was open just fine two weeks ago!)
Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?
Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.
