“The most important political office is that of the private citizen.” -Louis D. Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice) So, to those who say I'm "political," damn right I am! It's my job as an American! No DMs! No sales pitches! Absolutely no crypto/bitcoin!
It should be a much bigger story that oil prices surged because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran, forcing the White House to ease sanctions on Russian oil—only for Russia to take that money and help Iran target American troops.
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
I was firmly in the 40% opposed camp!
The insane jingoism of Iraq and the GWOT was driven by genuine popular pressure and widespread support, now we've decided to let a senile gangster redraw the world map and most of us neither know nor care what we're doing or why.
Half a million displaced in a country of approx. 5.9 million. The majority have been displaced multiple times. People are sleeping in the streets.
It is Ramadan. People can't check on family b/c they know Israel is weaponizing phones & internet.
This is layers of physical & psychological warfare.
The dictator summit.
In a nutshell:
Do what I say or else !
I own your asses or else !

1) If you think “the media” is lying to you, start here. The richest people on earth are buying the outlets and the digital gatekeepers that decide what you see. Not because they love journalism.Bcuz narrative control is political power, & political power protects $. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
The Pentagon is building National Guard “quick reaction forces” for U.S. cities — troops “trained for civil unrest and rapid deployment.”
The timeline most people missed:
They’re expected to be operational by April 2026. A few weeks from now.
I don’t have a dog, but I haven’t let that stop me from saying these things to myself.

"The Real Religious Fanatics Behind the Iran War"
They're not in Tehran, they're in Washington DC. I bring receipts in my lede piece for today's First Draft morning newsletter from Zeteo.

The US economy shed 92,000 jobs in February in a sharp slide from the previous month as doubts persist over the strength of the labour market. ft.trib.al/NWKA2Pc
A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.
Why?
Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.
"Efficiency."
Keep in mind these are the last pre-Iran War numbers. It will be more starkly downhill from here.
The US lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Fri, missing expectations. That was short of Jan’s gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by WSJ had expected to see. The unemployment rate was 4.4%. The labor market slowed markedly last
My brow is furrowed as I type and graph this.
Does the Iran War mean a recession in the US?
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
No-one is happy about the jobs report.
This passage of Cosmos came to mind while I was watching Pete Hegseth strut across the stage at the Pentagon yesterday.
The essential, and much under appreciated, juxtaposition from today's news.
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.
“On behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation, the president would like to remind you the Dow is almost at 50K.”
Catholics don’t read the King James Bible. Neither do Orthodox Christians. Heck, not even all Protestants read that Bible. A big question is which VERSION a “Christian” U.S. would be. Catholic, 1 of the 6 or 7 Orthodox variations, 1 of the 200+ Protestant denominations? These folks are nuts!
Jobs are down, gas prices are up, wages are depressed, and we’re in the middle of another illegal war. Trump is just like every other Republican president.
