Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent had insisted just a few days ago that oil sanctions relief on Russia was a β€œdeliberately short-term measure".

I guess now we know what Trump's call with Putin this afternoon was about.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.

Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.

Almost every dystopian outcome warned about/fought against by thoughtful observes of digital media & machine learning systems over the past ten years has come to pass, of course I'm fucking cranky

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried? The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

In der Apokalypse wird es mein Motor und Antrieb sein, mich bis nach Kauai Island durchzuschlagen, dort zu Mark Zuckerbergs Doomsday Bunker vorzudringen und ihn hΓΆchstpersΓΆnlich aufzuessen.
Ich bin sogar bereit einen eigenen Kult um diese Mission aufzubauen.

TRUMP: Nothing to see here folks.

Don’t look at Epstein.
Don’t look at gas prices.
Don’t look at America’s collapsing reputation overseas.

Look over there… aliens. πŸ‘½

In blow to Trump DOJ, judge disqualifies β€˜triumvirate’ leading U.S. attorney’s office in NJ The judge said the DOJ's defense of the triad was an "enormous assertion of Presidential power."

πŸ“ŒIn the hour before the stock market closed, Trump told CBS News that β€œthe war is very complete, pretty much.”
The market surged on the news.

πŸ“ŒIn the hour after after the market closed, he said not so fast, could be longer.

πŸ“ŒHe just made himself and his billionaire buddies A LOT of money.

the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing

Da fuq is this circular logic? He wanted to (allegedly) free them from their oppressive regime, but now he’s not going to free them because they’re not behaving to his liking, because they live under an oppressive regime.

β€œI didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

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 β€” and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.

First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel β€” that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

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.

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.

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

The correction fails to air the real footage or inform viewers what was different about it. It claims the error was inadvertent and pretends to honor the fallen service members, but at the end of the day Fox still doesn’t show or describe how they came home to spare Trump from its viewers’ scrutiny.

This ad shows her getting attacked by ICE as she protested.
I was there.
I saw what happened.
It was worse than these clips show, and her bravery was obvious.

After tear gas and pepper balls, after getting thrown to the ground, when the gas cleared she sat at that very spot, and started knitting.

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

β€œAt some point, the family said, they lost Naqvi's location that was being shared from her phone. Relatives said federal agents continued to tell them that Naqvi was not in custody, despite her location previously showing her at the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.”
