So you can become the securities head at a major bank with zero capacity for critical thinking.
Have Vance and Trump said thank you?
MacFarlane is a BEAST of a reporter.
I'll be watching for his next chapter.

I hope MAGA CEOs are enjoying their DOW at “50,000” #Trump

One of the guards responsible for monitoring Jeffrey Epstein while he sat in a Manhattan jail cell Googled him just minutes before he was found dead and made mysterious cash deposits in the days leading up to his death, according to new documents released by DOJ.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
1/The failure to investigate Renee Good’s death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
If Obama were prosecuting this war against Iran, Democrats and the media would be cheering and half the right would be denouncing it. That’s the problem: in America today, everything gets filtered through partisan tribalism.
I think if Obama were prosecuting this war against Iran his approvals would be at 5%

me falling back: haha, heck yes!
me springing forward: well this sucks!
I have a piece coming on this early next by Alireza and Nik, who were sounding the alarm on the water crisis before this all started.

Absolutely chilling story
we are in the process of finding out if “ah! well. nevertheless,” works for us on a global scale or if it is just a personal thing
it’s not looking great folks
It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

This is very bad and I assume a war crime
i have zero doubt that every european leader (and certainly beyond) believes that trump is a dangerous, erratic, likely psychotic individual. together, in solidarity, they could exert serious power of resistance. yet they tiptoe around him, knowing full well he risks their security & well-being.
Our live blog on this shit show is up and running again. Just a mounting nightmare - as.ft.com/r/bbc5b47c-1...
Scary deep dive into how dangerously out of his depth killing-for-Christ Hegseth is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Various pro-war arguments of the form "Did you know the Iranian government is very bad actually!???" betray a Marvel film level understanding of international relation (tbh probably _less_ sophisticated than the better of them!) and are a painful reminder that journalists learned nothing from Iraq.
Let's talk about Jake Lang, a January 6 convicted criminal who physically assaulted police using a bat.
Trump pardoned him
Today, he exhibited his white superiority beliefs in NYC
There is no excuse for hatred based on religion
True. Social climbing too
Yes. I’d say Instagram over the past 10 years has inspired a lot of people to aspire to be wealthy (or at least to be rich enough to afford trips & clothes that would make others envy them). Being more materialistic like that likely correlates to conservative views for many people. IMHO
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.
Wonder why that is?
