Glad the administration really thought through all the consequnces of its actions.
The joke that the President's daughter-in-law is "interviewing" the President's spokeswoman and they're calling it journalism.
The fact that Iran is shutting down the Straits of Hormuz actually underscores how President Trump didn't think through this operation in the first place.
I thought they played well, just unlucky with that own goal and last passage of play. Not enough going forward. Need Owen, Dani, but that last five minutes of first half was terrific. Stuver deserved better. Some massive saves.
Generationally unexpected...
Expecting TACO but then if it doesn’t happen, zoom!
Have no sympathy for DOGE chuds. Let that stink follow you forever.
Please note most federal grants *required* information on how the grants would benefit underserved or understudied groups. If you applied for a grant, you *had to* include something that would speak to diversity and equity.
This was quite a day in American Backsliding!
Kori is an absolute pro. This is a huge mistake on their part.
And gee, the last thing we would want the military to know right now is, uh, history or civ-mil relations

My former DOD colleague Greg Pollock and I have a new piece on the U.S. war in Iran, what it means for energy markets and how it might end. Thanks to the @global-affairs.bsky.social for giving us a platform. globalaffairs.org/commentary/a...
The narcissistic inability to realize that other countries, like other people, also have agency. Not surprising, given that everything Trump does stems from totally out of control narcissism.
Was unfamiliar with your music before but it’s great stuff.
Might have to wait for oil prices to jump again...
Alternative title for the upcoming essay:
TACO Tuesday. How Long until Trump Declares Victory in Iran?
! I just did that!
Not a fan of the Iranian regime by a long shot, but ....I'm sure someone said this but Iran wouldn't be facing this problem if they actually had nuclear weapons...
If they actually had …
Working on an essay on Iran and energy and half tempted to title it "If Trump doesn't TACO, oil prices will go BANANAS."
