The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

Obviously it's completely unseemly that they're hoping to bribe Hungarians to vote for Orban. But it's also just bizarre - Orban does nothing for America, but he does a lot for Russia. Why is this Trump's priority? (It's okay, you don't need to answer.)

Is the fact that the Iran war wasn’t congressionally authorized something we no longer talk about? Seems like the reporting/discussion now just assumes that Trump can just do whatever he wants wrt the use of force

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.

Iran sent a team of 30 including university professors, scientists, diplomats, PhDs. The American delegation includes no diplomats, but lots of relatives of Trump and real estate developers.

It's sort of a nice touch after JD has been leaking to every news outlet that this was 100% wasn't his idea that they're making him own it in Pakistan. 👨‍🍳💋

Re-upping from yesterday, with typos etc fixed!

What almost everyone in Iran knows, and practically no one in the current US administration does.

Shocking but not surprising:

Trump & his associates cash out while investors hold the bag

The SEC needs to do its job--protect investors, not the Trumps & Witkoffs

Are journalists taking too soft an approach to Trump's hard rhetoric? CBC Radio’s Brent Bambury asked me that question and I answered in the emphatic affirmative. Give it a listen. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-14-day-6/clip/16207998-are-journalists-taking-soft-approach-trumps-hard-rhetoric

We have the President's son-in-law, who is lifelong buddies with Bibi and on the payroll of the Saudis (who, to be fair, aren't getting their $$ worth).

We have Trump's developer buddy whose spawn is in the fake $$ business with Trump's spawn.

And JD, fresh off doing Putin's bidding.

There's some coverage of JD's help for Russia's Hungarian puppet.

There's some beat sweeteners abt how poor JD Vance has to try to clean up Trump's disastrous war.

But little abt how JD went directly from sucking up to Iran's patron to negotiating "for the US" in Pakistan.

ICE prison construction stopped. Detainees freed. Another huge lie exposed.

Trump’s deportation machine keeps crumbling and we are NOT slowing down.
