Good thing we had real estate investor Steve Witkoff negotiating deals with Russia and Iran.

I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.

Secretary @KristiNoem accusing Padilla of “political theater” is delicious

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

I smell SCOTUS intervention coming soon.

Getting Hegseth to the situation room.

“If you can read those words and sleep well tonight, I envy you. As I tell my few remaining Republican friends, ‘It's crazy to say that America looks like 1936 Germany when it's so clearly 1938 Germany’” Read the latest from @stuartpstevens.bsky.social: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/has-maga-d...

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

9th circuit panel w/ 2 Trump appointees enters an administrative stay -- i.e puts Breyer order on hold "pending further order" --and orders hearing for Tuesday. That means the state of play on the ground is that the National Guard is federalized.

NEW: 9th Circuit panel has stayed Judge Breyer’s temporary restraining order against Trump federalizing the National Guard while they consider his appeal Remote hearing on Zoom set for June 17 at 12p PDT

America is an authoritarian state.

Kristi Noem is against political theater.

Come to Nobody’s Darling if you’re in Chicago and Don’t Rank Cuomo if you’re in New York.

As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, *and* damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Holy shit this is incredible.

Since Trump inauguration: Gaza escalated, Ukraine escalated, Israel-Iran escalated. Trump is a walking permission slip to every strongman to do whatever they want, and it propelling the world into ever-more violence and chaos

Trump has the ability to do something that no other modern President has, whether or Democrat or Republican: threaten to cut weapons and aid to Israel.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

Trump Tax Bill Would Help the Richest, Hurt the Poorest, CBO Says - apple.news/ABlutvlWFSWe...

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

Caution: This may feel good but I think it was the kind of test from a lower court judge that they wanted. My guess is the Supremes, when this inevitably gets to them, will give Trump large latitude on this...and further send the US spiraling into authoritarianism.

This administration is dismantling democracy quickly and it has help

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Brian Wilson, musical mastermind behind the best of the Beach Boys, died Wednesday. His 1966 song "God Only Knows" has surprising depths of meaning (love, destiny, spirituality) and surprising musical complexities. Here's Joss Stone's wonderful cover. See you around.

Nice look for you, Facebook! Thanks, hometown paper! And more thanks to the people who advocated for the "permanently disabled" status of my account there to be overturned. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Do you identify more with Dorothy, or the Wicked Witch of the West? Oh that’s a tough one. You better answer that one honey.

Thanks to reporters like @stevenbeynon.bsky.social, Military.com is becoming an absolutely essential news source in the second Trump era.

This is not a man defending the rule of law. This is a man continuing the project he began in his first term and tried to complete on January 6th: replacing the rule of law with himself.

a new washington post / GMU poll finds trump 15 points net negative on immigration, soft disapproval of his handling of LA protests (with lots of don't knows). the narrative that these protests are good for trump is not supported by data at this point. see: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/why-the-la...

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.
