In what way?
Leaving the Republican Party ain’t shit. He needs to join the Democratic caucus or he’s just a Republican afraid to own up to it.
During a White House event on college football, Trump mocked and shut down a question about Russia allegedly helping Iran target U.S. assets. “What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We’re talking about something else,” said Trump.
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
Yes exactly.
As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:
Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.
Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
This entire spectacle was the most bathetic thing I’ve ever seen in his tenure and that’s say something!
Brooklyn! Very excited for this event on Monday March 9th at the Brooklyn Public Library where I’l be discussing The Sirens Call with @alondra.bsky.social . Come thru!

Sae Joon Park immigrated to the U.S. from South Korea at 7-years-old and was a U.S. Army veteran with a Purple Heart. He was recently ordered to leave America over a criminal history that he thought he had atoned for and has since returned to South Korea. “I feel pretty out of place here,” he said.
You know how American intelligence was pretty excited to do to the USSR in Afghanistan what Soviet intelligence did to the US in Vietnam?
gyre? not widening.
center? holding.
falcon? listening.
blood-dimmed tide? properly restrained.

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.
There's been about a 10-point increase in support for attacking Iran since Feb 23, according to YouGov. That's driven entirely by Republicans rallying around Trump
Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic
Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."
what the fuck are we doing

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Yes meaning, yes they should have to declare war and have a congressional authorization.
What’s fascinating is that for so long alcohol interests fought weed legalization because they feared it was a substitute good and they were right! Alcohol consumption has plummeted as weed consumption has grown and seems pretty clear from public health perspective probably a net win.
Does she get to keep the costumes?
Gonna be very funny when the team gets worse after he comes back.
SCOOP: In a January letter to Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), DHS says 270 DACA recipients have been arrested from January to September 2025. In addition, 174 DACA applicants have been deported, according to ICE records.
Those numbers differ from what was shared with Sen. Dick Durbin in February.
Exactly! I’ve worn out that clip the last few days
among other things, it's very very funny to imagine Trump having granular knowledge and strong opinions about various obscure Iranian regime figures possibly in the running.
Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
relatedly, Talarico is unlikely to win texas because being a republican is an important aspect of too many people's identity here, even if they disagree with the far right lunatics in the legislature on specific issues bsky.app/profile/yair...
Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
