A line Trump's advisers will love: "We're really helping China here."

Pretty striking that the highest level of detail Trump can get into, in terms of an exit plan or overall objective, is simply to insist this is gonna be just like Venezuela.

Trump citing some of the most delusional polling numbers I've ever heard him speak into existence β€” he's claiming the SAVE Act is polling at 85% with Dems and 98% with Republicans

And that Vladimir Putin is "very impressed with what he saw."

(Worth noting higher oil prices help Putin with funding the Russian war machine.)

Trump just described the war in Iran as "an excursion into a very positive thing."

Okay so Trump is implying we are gonna close the advantage on Iranian drones by using lasers? Deployed from where?

This is giving me flashbacks to when Trump would do those post-market close pressers during the height of covid

The other thing I’ve been noticing is that nobody in the administration really gets into the use of Shahed drones and the cost differential therein

Pity poor Kevin Warsh, who was nominated for Fed chair because he promised to cut interest rates

That interview could have gone worse for Hegseth, but any time Major Garrett drilled down on anything specific, Hegseth’s arguments fell apart pretty quickly

And if you read the @mollytaft.com fertilizer story, there could be some serious knock on effects there too. Urea and ammonia need water, and oil/soot getting into a reservoir can’t be good. (Or in the transporting of pellets in open air) www.wired.com/story/trumps...

This Arsenal formation is like the type of shit I used to do in FIFA 2017 where you can move around the base positions to create an absolute monstrosity, all in the effort of getting as many attacking players out there as possible.
