In the last 24 hours, Iran has:
- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport
Tragically true:

"Trump gets donations, you get massive Ticketmaster surcharges — service fees, platinum fees, per-order fees, payment processing fees, facility fees, magical money-sh*tting unicorn fees — on top of already sky-high ticket prices." — @lizdye.bsky.social
Jared Kushner stands to make millions, if not billions, w/ the US going to war w/ Iran.
A family of grifters, one and all. None of them care how many people will die, how many will be left homeless, how the entire world will be affected.

Trump submitted the Florida primary ballot by giving it to a third party to return, a spokesperson for the Palm Beach elections supervisor confirmed to NPR on Wed. Republicans often derisively refer to sending in a ballot this way as "ballot harvesting," and it's something Trump has criticized.
The way Trump voted shows how he's had to walk a fine line, and often tweak his language around voting, to adjust for political realities and his own behavior.
President Trump cast a vote-by-mail ballot in Florida this week after months of questioning the security of the method of voting, and in doing so he returned it to election officials using a technique many Republicans say should be illegal.
Since this Politico piece on the SAVE act says Republicans will bring up "ballot harvesting" I hope Democrats will point out again and again and again that Trump engaged in ballot harvesting www.politico.com/live-updates...
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
GOP Sen. Josh Hawley has introduced a new bill to ban the abortion pill mifepristone.
So fucking wrong and so fucking corrupt. I say this as a former Member of Congress - There should be an outright ban on Members of Congress trading stocks. Period. At a minimum. There alway should’ve been a ban. Shame on both parties for not getting this done over the years.
In case you're wondering how slow justice moves: after the Trump administration investigated my podcast and removed me from my job at the VA in 2019, I filed a complaint.
We still don't have a trial date set. We're waiting on a summary judgment ruling after a hearing last August.
Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.
Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.
See the problem here?
Trump has raked in at least $30 million…from his own cabinet.
20 members have funneled millions right into Trump’s pockets through political donations, visits to his properties, stock holdings in his companies, and other donations.
The grift never ends.
My team's recent research: at work, women speak up less than men only when groups are uncivil. Maybe it's not a lack of confidence or leaning in that silences women, but actual cues in the environment. Focus on fixing the incivility, not the women! hbr.org/2025/01/rese...
The Pentagon has confirmed that approximately 140 U.S. troops have been wounded in Trump's Iran war.
The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children.
The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.
Priorities.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
Host: Eric and Don Jr. are getting into the drone business. Powerus, a Florida-based drone company, is merging with a golf club company backed by the Trumps. The deal comes as the Trump administration plans to spend $1.1 billion on hundreds of thousands on drone systems by 2027.
Harry Dunn and I will discuss on tomorrow’s Cleanup on Aisle 45 podcast!
Thanks to Trump's attacks on federal research funding, the National Cancer Institute hasn't made a single grant this fiscal year.
Just last month, Trump issued an EO to increase production of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer.

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.
Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.
A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran… while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
