“So much winning”
If Joe Biden's son-in-law was flying around the Middle East as an unofficial Secretary of State while also working on business deals for his company with the same people he was meeting with on behalf of the US government, I'm pretty sure it would be a bigger story 🤔
It is dangerous and terrible but also just so deeply embarrassing that this is how our country is being run
“So damaged is the department’s reputation for truth telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that ‘the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers ‘can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.”’

I love these journalistic fictions that normalize the administration and act like there are reasonable people there working to intelligently rein in dangerous impulses
Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.”
Now he’s begging them for help.
Unprecedented corruption. Literally asking for billions of dollars.
"Epstein saying if Trump is cornered like a rat he could begin bombing Iran"
Aaaaaaaaaaah shit
Two weeks in and he’s begging for France and China to save him like a dog.
There it is…
It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift
Troubling development--Core PCE inflation was hot in Jan at 0.36% m/m & 3.1% y/y BUT it would have been even hotter had BEA not shifted its source data in an ad hoc fashion to avoid showing an 11.9% m/m rise in legal fees shown in the CPI.

Nice deep dive by Ben, which follows on a disclosure I first saw reported by @jc-econ.bsky.social, whose posse uncovered this issue via an email exchange yesterday morning.
My quick thoughts on US vs Israeli interests vis a vis their war on Iran youtube.com/shorts/VXJ1P...
On Lebanon:
- Israeli threats are partially pressure tactics on LAF vs Hezbollah
- Lebanon is not Gaza. Hezbollah is not PLO & Beirut 2026 is not 1982
- Re-occupying South Lebanon won’t produce peace for either side
- Keep an eye on direct talks proposed in France to de-escalate

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Trump turning the armed forces newspaper into an unreadable propaganda sheet. So much for free speech
I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.
