Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints.
We are probably just seeing the tip of an iceberg. This is the predictable result of the mainstreaming of unlimited sports betting. More rigging - where insiders profit and outsiders are suckers.
All the Iran hawks said that the way to get rid of Iran’s hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles, and support for terrorism was to go to war with Iran.
We went to war with Iran. And the hardline regime, nuclear program, missiles and terrorism aid are all still there.
Good morning. This is your daily reminder that the President has lost total control of the Iran War and thus has lost interest. He now only obsesses over his ballroom and schemes to profit off the presidency while gas and grocery prices soar.
The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.

There is no deal FYI. The Strait will remain closed. This is terrible news but it’s the price of incompetence.

No matter what deal they do, the war has effectively given control of the Strait to Iran.
What a masterclass in incompetence by Trump and his team.

We live in a country now where the president uses his power to censor media figures who criticize him and then brags about it.

BREAKING: Votes on the Republican ICE/ballroom funding bill are CANCELLED. Thune sending everyone home for 10 days. Why?
Republicans don’t want to vote against an amendment to stop Trump’s new $1.7B slush fund.
The problem? That amendment doesn’t go away for them in 10 days.

Morning everyone.
Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws?
You are subject to the law. Now he is not.
No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.
