smart take by Tina Brown on how Trump landed the US in war open.substack.com/pub/tinabrow...
Newt has always had the best ideas.
These people are creepy, childish and just weird as shit and we should say it all the time.
Slight adjustment, perhaps: Not fascism as such but proto-fascist or authoritarian populist movement with fascist-style emotional dynamics and media reinforcement.
Trump has described the operation with kaleidoscopic variety—among other things, saying it is both ending soon and ramping up—and he has refused to settle on a single overriding strategic objective. Everyone else is guessing, too.
I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.
👏👏👏
Never forget who Trump appointed to be the head of our domestic anti-terrorism people.com/trump-admin-...

Obviously from MAGA’s environmentalist wing.
Since I wasn’t clear in my last post, lemme try again:
WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That it’s even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) installed rooftop solar panels on his home, despite once criticizing green energy as “goofy, subsidized green energy crap.” His response: “It’s my personal home, so it’s not really any of your business”
His hypocrisy is everyone's businesses..

(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

CNBC: “.. Almost all of the economic effect of the individual tax cuts in the ‘big beautiful bill’ .. could be erased if oil prices remain elevated by more than $20 compared with prices before the U.S.-Iran war ..”

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

“I don’t care if the prices rise—heck, I prefer them that way,” said Kaitlyn Leonardi, who crossed her arms in defiance as she lauded gasoline as “a great product” that had been “too cheap for too long.”
After Trump was reelected, he quickly pardoned anti-abortion activists convicted of harassing and threatening clinic patients and staff.
Federal investigations into bomb threats against clinics suddenly vanished.
Good grief.
Yes, let’s take the war criminal who is a proven liar at his word. What a masterful negotiator this guy must be.

It’s nearly impossible to lose Grenell, but Ogles pulled it off.
Trump, who is actively covering up the Epstein files, is really leaning heavily into the MAGA religious cult vibes today.
He also posted this video that uses a story about a Trump family Bible to imply God chose Trump to usher in a revival.
The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️
