Rubio's best friend on trial for a 50M Venezuelan lobbying scheme - and Rubio must testify. FBI told NYPD to stand down on Epstein; NY's AG can reopen it. Pentagon blew 93B on luxuries. 42M then lost food stamps.

Still treating every scandal like it's a separate thing? That's the point. They're counting on your amnesia.

All of this incredibly obvious and infuriating welfare fraud happened under the first Trump administration and I don't recall them ever threatening to block funding to the state of Mississippi as a result.
“.. Trump’s foreign policy strategy will leave the United States “poorer, less secure, and less influential than it has been for most living Americans’ lifetimes,” writes Stephen Walt.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.
I'm not a military historian, but I'd imagine they'd agree we haven't seen a "victory" like this before
republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say
His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
If I have the administration's current argument right, they have achieved a clear and decisive victory in Iran *and* they desperately need other countries to come bail them out of the mess they've made?
Schiff: "We are now giving Russia $140 million a day by releasing them from these sanctions when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops. It is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine."
This is the f’ing way. Every one of the those wrongly detained should be suing the federal government, as well as individual members of the administration by name. It’s one of the only major avenues of recourse that might affect change in the admin’s behavior.

Hegseth: The Strait of Hormuz is open for business.
Reporter: What kind of business is it in, exactly?
If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this
They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage
Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money
The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.
I can't have the croissants if I go visit a company for work
"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?
“Yeah, I guess.” What the f*ck kind of answer is that?
We’re talking about Putin helping Iran target our troops.
"If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably."
That's true of Trump's original inheritance, the money from his parents. If he'd just put it in the stock market he'd have made more money than he did on his own ideas.
Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
Remember when they declared they had restored free speech and ended federal censorship on Trump's very first day back?
Well, now they're openly bragging about all the journalists they got fired for saying the wrong thing and all the companies the federal government forced to make changes.
To put this in language that members of this administration can understand: Pete Hegseth is scared of a girl.
I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
