Freedom Isnβt a Strategy
War in the Strait of Hormuz is not just a military campaign, itβs a systemic shock to energy markets, supply chains, and global stability.
Missiles in #Hormuz donβt just sink ships.
They move oil prices.
They move insurance markets.
They move your grocery bill.
This war is a systemic shock, not just a strike package. #uspolitics #iran #foreignpolicy #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

The Strait That Isnβt Closed (Until It Is)
Missiles, insurance cancellations, jittery tankers, and oil climbing into the $70s, welcome to the worldβs most important chokepoint discovering what βescalationβ really costs.
The #StraitofHormuz is βclosed.β Except itβs not. Except it kind of is.
Missiles flying, tankers idling, insurers pulling war-risk coverage, oil climbing into the $70s and the real story isnβt the headlines, itβs the plumbing of global trade. #uspolitics #iran

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

I hear some "red staters" are upset that Elon is putting methane gas generators in their neighborhoods to power his "data centers".
"Between the smell and the noise I'll never be able to sell my house".
So MAGA, "deregulation" is bad? Take away the rules and the wealthy shit on you even more. Happy?

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"
(John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
