Trump is demanding "unconditional surrender" from Iran but he's having a hard time describing what that looks like. All he has to do is point at the Republicans in Congress and say, "it looks like that!"

Trump Surprised To Find He's At War in Iran Once his not-even-half-baked plan failed to materialize in Iran, it’s clear that there’s no Plan B.

A really good piece from @vermontgmg.bsky.social abt the normalcy bias with which the press is covering Trump's utter failure to understand what he has done with the Iran war.

Andy Kim: "What we're seeing is this administration literally making it up as they go. Sec. Wright tweeted that we had already been escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, they they deleted it. Then they decided not to move forward on the strategic petroleum reserve, now they are."

Spoke with The Daily Princetonian about Pete Hegseth's decision to block service members from studying at @princeton.edu and other colleges he deems "woke"

In a post-fact world, words can mean everything you want them to mean whenever you want them to mean it.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

this is what happens when you elect someone based on the premise that he's such a successful businessman

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.

Leavitt on reports that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to help them target US assets: "Whether or not this happened, frankly, it does not really matter"

I am sympathetic to this viewpoint on prediction markets.

This asshole lies about everything. Even petty, inconsequential shit. He only knows how to lie

Chancellor Merz knows he’s lying, but diplomacy dictates he has to pretend he isn’t sitting next to a lying sack of shit

“Constitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%).
But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

Scott has spent the last 15 years of his life working in the highest echelons of government, as FL Governor (from 2011-2019) and as a U.S. Senator (since 2019), during which time he has undermined every effort to use the tools of governance to improve the public sphere.

No honest rational person with any capability for discernment would accuse George Will of being liberal in the contemporary American sense, left-wing, supportive of the Democratic Party, or so-called “woke”. Here he focuses on DT's decline and his attempt to erase Black history.

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

The Rubio speech is incoherent and hypocritical. He denounces Soviet communism, the threat and division it sowed in Europe, yet has absolutely nothing to say about Ru's current attempt to restore restore the Soviet empire by re-invading and re-subordinating swaths of Europe. What's worse,...

Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.
