JD Vance @Pete Hegseth if you think we should do it let's go. I just hate bailing Europe out again. 8:45 AM O Let's just make sure our messaging is tight here. And if there are things we can do upfront to minimize risk to Saudi oil facilities we should do it. 8:46 AM O Pete Hegseth VP: I fully share your loathing of γ
Pete Hegseth VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It's PATHETIC. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close. Question is timing. I feel like now is as good a time as any, given POTUS directive to reopen shipping lanes. I think we should go; but POTUS still retains 24 hours of decision space. 8:49 AM O SM SM As I heard it, the president was clear: green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return. We also need to figure out how to enforce such a requirement. EG, if Europe doesn't remunerate, then what? If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return.

this isnt saying i wanted romney to win. at the time, i thought a romney win would have been catastrophic.
in hindsight, i think it wouldve veered us off the course we're on now
my hot takes:
a romney win in 2012 wouldve slowed the tea party movement and the right's descent into trumpism
the way the media covered charlie sheen's "winning" era contributed to the worship of megalomaniacs w/ delusions of grandeur, opening the door for trump, kanye, and elon
Just told my 10yo daughter about Big Balls. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Ballskanda forever"βwhich is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.
I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.
San Francisco and Santa Clara counties, joined by three other cities and counties across the country, are suing the Trump administration over its threats to punish jurisdictions that have sanctuary immigration policies, calling the moves unconstitutional. via @kqednews.kqed.org
i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

Netanyahu has the sort of pleased look youβd expect if you successfully helped another country get taken over by Nazis to make it easier for you to kill refugees.
That's because he believes he is the law now.
That's how coups work
This is so incredibly insane
HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Muskβs unconstitutional money grab
We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social
Whether itβs Democrats attending Hollywood fundraisers or Republicans handing over the government to the worldβs richest man, both parties have gotten too cozy with the wealthy.
St. Elonβs Fire
Man in motion Musk has become part of the Donaldβs breakfast club, but sending a brat pack of kids to harass federal workers seems more Joe McCarthy than Andrew McCarthy.

And If this sounds familiar, thatβs because it is. Musk is following the same playbook from the early days of his Twitter takeover, including sleeping in the office: wrd.cm/4jFDvNW
I support this.
Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.
Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.
Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I donβt necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of β¦

Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz says heβs putting a blanket hold on all of President Trumpβs State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running.
If anybody is worried about this, I will gladly play the role of "dude with the red string on the cork board" so you look sane by comparison. Because the reality is the richest person in the world is a nazi who snuck in at midnight to steal every American's data so he could shut down the government.
LIVE: Several congressional Democrats are gathered outside USAID to stand in opposition of its illegal closure by Trump/Musk. C-SPAN is livestreaming it here:
