the US media and political and financial class is so lost in the myth of Great Leader Trump being the only one with agency that this rather striking fact is completely irrelevant to them. Trump says it’s over so it’s over! time for irrational exuberance!

War jitters revive stagflation specter. #econsky

Graphic reflecting oil volume is down by the most volume in history due to Trump’s Iran war. It is down by 20 million barrels a day

The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world’s oil. Trump shut it down with a war no one voted for.

Now YOU pay more for gas, groceries, flights, and everything in between.

Live Nation Settlement Spurs Chaos in Court - The American Prospect The deal contains a fairly useless set of conditions. More than two dozen states vow to continue fighting.

"Ticket prices will continue to increase & independent promoters will become extinct... the Mafia couldn’t get a love tap on the wrist like this.” -Tommy Dorfman, who was muscled out of concert promotion by Live Nation & has a long-running lawsuit against the company.

As Tehran faces toxic “black rain” after oil-depot strikes, the human cost of war spills beyond battlefields into lungs, water, and soil. When cities choke and civilians breathe the fallout, power politics stands exposed: devastation framed as strategy, and ordinary lives treated as expendable.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

How to Prevent Insider Trading on Trump’s Wars A flurry of well-timed bets and anonymous on Polymarket right before the U.S. strike on Iran shows the need for reform.

The day President Trump announced his assault on Iran, a company that tracks data on crypto transactions posted a message on X: “Six suspected insiders made $1.2M betting on a US strike on Iran.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/NwNrpQ

How many more people have to die in ICE detention for “pro-life” Republicans to say something?

Climate Change: ‘I’m gonna destroy life on your planet!’

Trump Admistration: ‘Not if we beat you to it!’

If you’re bitching about the Live Nation/Ticketmaster settlement w/DOJ for less than 1% of their profits last year and not mentioning Kellyanne Conway negotiated the settlement w/her friends in Trump administration you’re doing it wrong. This is how corruption works, folks.

Spotify Killed the Middle Class of Musicians. Audible Is Coming for Authors Next. The music industry took fifteen years to figure out what streaming really cost them. Authors don’t have that long.

Audible just did to audiobooks what Spotify did to music.
The $8.99 "Standard" tier isn't a deal for listeners. It's a math problem for authors — and most of them don't know they're already losing.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives

Seeing oil come down in price earlier because the liar said the war over was funny because anyone with half a brain knew it wasn't true.

Anyway. If you thought the President could raise or lower gas prices with a big switch in the Oval Office, you are correct. But only if it's a Republican.

When you claim to be fighting for the freedom of the citizens of Iran but cut off their access to clean water...

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM

It's horrible that we have a President that does so much horrific things to the American people and pledges his allegiance to foreign leadership
and nobody can do anything about it, horrific!!

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.

It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.

So the war is not complete then, as he said two hours ago?

The continued habit of media to repeat what he says without qualification is mind blowing.

These were posted within minutes of each other. So which one is it? Is it over or is there no end in sight?? Our msm is a clusterfuck. Guess I’ll check the news in another country to find out what is happening here.
