Iran’s demands are basically the geopolitical version of, “And while you’re up, bring me a sandwich.”
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · yesterdayIran is not backing down. The Supreme National Security Council has just released its demands for a return to negotiations: * Stop threats and regional wars * End the blockade around Iran * Compensate Iran for war damages * Lift sanctions * Release Iran’s frozen assets
If Biden can still control inflation from retirement, maybe Trump should just appoint him Fed chairman.

What if changing the world was just about being here, by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don't belong, by staying true even when we're shamed into being false, by being true to ourselves even when we're told we're too different. -Mr. Robot
Ty Cobb is Trump’s former White House lawyer
Talarico’s voting rights agenda shouldn’t be controversial. 📌 Expand access to the ballot box 📌 Protect voting rights 📌 End partisan gerrymandering Politicians drawing themselves safe districts and then making it harder for people to vote isn’t democracy.
Weird how basic uncontroversial things can be manufactured into something, while rampant law-breaking is shrugged at.
No one who has ever flown this flag should be allowed to immigrate to the United States. Unfortunately an insane number are being allowed to do just that.

And note to @browneyedsusan.bsky.social, this is obviously a message for Nancy Mace; just wanted to make sure you saw it.
I'll never understand the cowardice. I mean, in normal times, if you were seeking reelection, you could rationalize a bad vote by saying you had to do it so that you could have the opportunity to vote for good things later.

We came up in a different time George. I don't know what this time is but the absence of character or principle or public service, even competence is just beyond me. Time of corruption, intimidation, weakness, apathy?
This is a reasonable list. Thoughts: Abolish ICE? Yes. Defund? That happens when they're abolished. Experience w/agency abolition says legitimate purposes must be re-housed with updated rules & accountability. Could be reconstituted as own agency or part of another. Yes, they are out of control.

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.
More honorable than now. We still had a Republican crook for President. But not even he pardoned the dozens of his own associates convicted in court.
This is the guy who's going to declare for the WNBA draft and sue if he's "discriminated against" by not getting drafted because he says he's transgender for the purpose of playing in the league. He's also the guy who physically abuses his wife and son and diverted campaign funds to a strip club.

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com · 2d agoConfronted with an obvious need for renewable energy, Trump admin officials used taxpayer money to scuttle an offshore wind project. Then they did it again. And again. And again. And this week, again. Total price tag in wasted taxpayer money: ~$4 billion and counting www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
