🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

What's revealing here is that Iran and Oman are negotiating what is essentially a shared hormuz toll ("service fee") agreement. So the US is moving pretty rapidly to treat a post-war toll system as a given. 'Come up with an agreement on tolls or we'll attack!!' In other words, a massive defeat.
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · yesterdayUS President Donald Trump is pushing Iran to reach a deal with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday, or face devastating air strikes on the country.

in constitutional terms i think this kind of has to be right. this isn't a ceo transition where they negotiate the hand off. pulte is a temporary whose only authority rests on the job being vacant which it ceased to be with Clayton's confirmation.

I've been wondering abt this for a while. Originally a court ratified this deal. That's fairly binding as a settlement. But I think that court pulled the plug on that (perhaps I misunderstood that contingent ruling). So I don't know why this would be binding on a future admin at all.
Clara Jeffery@clarajeffery.bsky.social · 2d agoTrump’s justice department can grant him immunity from audits but I see no reasons why a subsequent administration can’t say: that was patently illegal, toss it out, and crawl all the way up his ass.

It seems all I hear these days are complaints about President Donald Trump’s war with Iran. As a humble oil executive, looking out on the Pacific Ocean from the wrap-around porch of my third mansion, I find these complaints deeply offensive. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
Stop complaining about the Iran war. I'm making bank! | Opinion
Are we seeing these extravagant earnings because President Donald Trump started an 'unnecessary' war with Iran that has proven 'intractable'? YES!

What IS true, is that lots of people who died of COVID didn't have to. Nothing suspicious about it, just Darwinism at work.
Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

Wait the guy who convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business record also had his bank account closed because of money laundering? This is astonishing news
