Gas stations must update price signs for an extra digit, the phrase, "As goes California, so goes the nation," signaling that $10 per gallon gas may soon become reality nationwide.

Trump Has Already Lost The War The question now is how bad does it get

“Billions wasted on military buildup. US lives lost. And an affordability crisis about to smack into the American public like a truck speeding down the freeway.”

WASHINGTON-Before the U.S. went to war, Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told President Trump that an American attack could prompt Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Caine said in several briefings that U.S. officials had long believed Iran would deploy mines, drones and missiles to close the world's most vital shipping lane, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
Trump acknowledged the risk, these people said, but moved forward with the most consequential foreign-policy decision of his two presidencies. He told his team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait-and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.
Now, two weeks into the war, Iran's leaders have refused to back down, and the Strait of Hormuz has emerged as Tehran's most potent leverage point.

How Trump alone got the US - and the world - into a crisis in the Middle East. From the WSJ.

Oh hey that thing we were all afraid of happening. Well it fucking happened. If you haven’t already locked down your credit/identity, you should fucking do it now. I’ll put the thread I wrote on how to do that (ish, there are Reddit boards with a million more steps you can take) in the comments. 🤬🤬🤬

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Crazy that U.S. planning for the Strait of Hormuz apparently boiled down to "that'll sort itself out, hopefully"

The Myth of America First How Donald Trump’s Retreat from Expertise Made the Iran Conflict Far More Dangerous

My latest piece breaks down how “America First” hollowed out America’s ability to shape events, and why we’re now reacting to crises we once had the capacity to prevent.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

I have to say the Treasury manipulating oil futures and losing the American people a lot of money in order to hide the cost of Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war and then failing immediately is a very funny scandal as it goes.

If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you.

They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it.

Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴

Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.

“Slow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low.

At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals — and that they were pointless:

“An appeal is not available to review an underpayment.”

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Georgia resident here. Good showing, but don't get excited yet. The percentage keeps falling. Very likely to be a runoff & R's that are split now will consolidate. Does feel like unheard of D numbers up there though. Our state is so gerrymandered - especially the 14th almost impossible for a D win.
