Aspiring bon vivant.

"Trump appears in recent conversations ​with advisers to have conceded the ⁠Strait of Hormuz, a hub of global commerce that remains effectively shut, is unlikely to completely reopen soon.”

The World’s Stupidest Leader has screwed it up epically.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:

Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.

The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

Leo's prayer vigil at St Peter's is about Donald Trump and his war on Iran and is scathing, start to finish. It has some words for Pete Hegseth, too: invoking the name of God to justify war is a “delusion of omnipotence” and a demand that the world bend its knee to “mute, blind, and deaf” idols.

When he launched this war, the President vowed regime change and “unconditional surrender.”

What has he gotten? We went from Ayatollah Khamenei to Ayatollah Khameini Jr. - and are now negotiating over a 10-point plan written by the Iranians.

From @byjustinmiller.bsky.social: GOP legislators repeatedly insisted that “Texas Education Freedom Accounts” would be open to any and all types of private schools—of all creeds and persuasions.

In predictable fashion, they haven't quite lived up to that promise.

I had to look this up. It's TRUE. 😮 Before 1974, banks typically required a father's or husband's signature in order for a woman to open a credit card account. HOLEEEE SHIT. In my lifetime?!! The patriarchy really sucks. #ArtemisII

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.

Gov. Spanberger is clear: Trump is trying to rig the 2026 midterms before a single vote is cast. Virginia can stop it. April 21 is your moment.

Vote YES — because elections belong to voters, not MAGA.

The GOP drew maps in their favor and are pouring millions in a disinformation campaign in VA. On Super Saturdays, we respond. 30+ early voting sites are open — vote Yes on redistricting and take our elections back. Election Day is in April 21st. #VirginiaIsVotingYes

Every person who cares one iota about the environment needs to rage loudly over this. It will set us back a century. Demand from your Reps & Senators they stop this. It affects many GOP strongholds throughout the entire US. Also check out this site listing companies supporting Forest Service or not.

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.

He had just asked to call his wife.

They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.

Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

President Donald Trump promised to cut Americans’ electricity bills in half, but costs have increased. It’s becoming an aggravating issue for voters, even deep in Trump country where some fed-up West Virginians are paying more for power than mortgages.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war.

This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.

It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Anyone shocked that the Pentagon is lying about the deadly attack on troops in Kuwait?

"Painting a picture that 'one squeaked through' is a falsehood. I want people to know the unit … was unprepared to provide any defense for itself. It was not a fortified position."

“.. Americans' income didn't keep up with inflation in February. Real income, excluding transfer payments, fell 0.4% in February, and the three-month average was also negative. Real income excluding transfers is one of the metrics that NBER uses in determining recessions.”

Pharma’s budget to influence Washington exceeds the salaries of *every member of Congress combined* by like 5X. But it’s still a pittance compared to the profits of the the parent drug companies.

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.

Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

The ballroom is obvs an expression of Trump's vainglory. But importantly, it serves as a way to flatter donors in our new Gilded Age. Relationship btw this company and gov, as staged through the ballroom, offers a telling glimpse into how this space will be used to trade access & influence in future
