Donald Trump threatens massive airstrikes against Iran. Then he backs down. That’s not strategy. That’s weakness.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 2h agoReuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be unlikely to risk transit without paying."
We're organizing to get money out of politics — and we are WINNING.
@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
The prep isn't as bad as it used to be -- pills, not the drink -- and you'll have one, uh, busy evening and then you go in and get the greatest nap of your life and then eat a glorious meal. Get yourself checked out.
Jessica Luther@jessicawluther.com · 16h agoWell, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!
When Felon47’s power is used to defend the accused instead of supporting the alleged victims, it speaks volumes about him! Am I surprised. Hell no! It’s a betrayal of every survivor who fought to be heard! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance POTUS #PedophileOfTheUnitedStates
El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."
Americans are paying more for groceries, gas, and everything in between. So what is Donald Trump focused on? Building new ways for his family to profit from the presidency. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Trump is working harder than ever. Just not to improve the country.

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

WSJ: “.. One problem Republicans face in this year’s midterm elections is that the socialist label has lost its sting. .. On Monday, Mr. Trump told reporters that U.S. oil companies are ‘making too much money.’ He took the words right out of Bernie’s mouth.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/soci...

A George W. Bush appointee just dismissed Trump's Colorado voter roll case with prejudice — and ruled that letting the DOJ try again would be futile. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-...
Q: The president has publicly criticized Pirro for her decision to drop the reflecting pool case. Do you agree with the move to dismiss the charges? BLANCHE: *stammering word salad that doesn't answer question*
Blanche refuses to say whether he was aware that Pirro was going to drop the charges against Hearn or approved her decision
Ramaswamy has spent $9 million on ads. Amy Acton has spent $100,000. The race is tied. "You can't buy Ohio, and you can't buy us." www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-trump-...
Q: What message does it send if Trump fires a US attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime? BLANCHE: If he fires a US attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that because he's the president
This notion that they've done anything to improve DC in any way including re: crime is ludicrous. Ask anyone who lives in DC. They've done nothing, zero, bupkis.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 1h agoBlanche credits Pirro with transforming DC "into a place that we can all now walk around in after sunset" 😆
They are truly scared of all Muslims. Like, deathly afraid.

Yeah, we've seen that guy destroy the White House, ruin the reflecting pool, install National Guard against the wishes of the people, start concentration camps, botch security with his "free jet," bring back measles and explosive diarrhea...we don't want our gov knowing that guy.
