But it’s the best bad song
@wsj.com’s story on Pres Trump pardoning Trevor Milton is atop the r/conservative subreddit and the sentiment is pretty thoroughly negative.

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.
Great scoop from @peter.andringa.me The Venezuelans sent by Trump to El Salvador and dumped in prison thought they were going to Venezuela. They had signed paperwork to go home. via @FT

New tariffs give me an opportunity to re-up the best lede I’ve ever written, from back in 2018.
“What do forest fires, wood-eating beetles and US President Donald Trump have in common? They have all helped push the price of lumber to historic heights…”
Sitting at LAX with Roxy Music playing over the loudspeakers and it feels like my life is suddenly one of those "Toto's Africa playing in an empty mall" videos from a few years back.
The Internet Archive has removed its archives of individual tweets from the account belonging to DOGE staffer Marko Elez.
The WSJ reported yesterday that this account belonged to Ekes, and that many of these tweets were racist and led to his resignation.
A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...
One thing that strikes me in all these actions is how much they’ll all fuel the already terribly damaging online scam industry. Crypto dereg + diminished LE capability + diminished foreign/multilat assistance = potentially a lot more ripped off people.
Not sure how many followers I have here but I’m writing a book on Hindenburg Research and Nate Anderson. Forthcoming from @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social!
