Imagine having grifted millions and millions of dollars off your father’s political career like Don Jr, including government contracts in multiple businesses where you have an ownership stake, and STILL having a Russian oligarch pay for your lavish wedding. Just obscene.

As we have seen in Texas, Florida, and other places, Republicans can control everything for 30 years in their states and still blame Democrats for their failures, so what Republicans are doing nationally is their standard playbook. They accept responsibility for nothing.

President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison term of David Gentile, who led GPB Capital, less than two weeks after he began serving a seven-year sentence in a $1.6 billion fraud that prosecutors said harmed more than 10,000 investors. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-free...

Periodic reminder that Ukraine is one of our best allies. Between the intelligence sharing, capability sharing (drones, counter drone systems), and the fact they’re degrading the capability of one of our primary adversaries, anyone rooting against them looks even dumber now.

The Supreme Court on Monday gave the president the authority to remove the leadership of most agencies that Congress had set up to act independently of presidential control. “Today, the majority reshapes our Government.”

The Roberts court just put Trump in charge of independent agencies, vastly expanding his powers

"Today the majority reshapes our Government."

NO DEAL. Iran rejects Trump's new claim that he reached an agreement to cancel tonight's strikes on Iran as baseless, saying no agreement has been approved at all, and all of Trump's words should be disregarded like all his previous 38 times deal-imminent announcements over two months, per Tasnim.

The decision is part of a broader American retrenchment from the NATO alliance.

Most serious people already acknowledged that Iran could withstand a blockade for longer than we would be willing to maintain one. Anyone who thought this blockade was a good idea should be fired immediately due to lack of basic analytical ability.

Exactly this. It’s honestly concerning that we’ve hit over 15,000 targets and aren’t seeing any real strategic value out of it. Iranian missiles are increasingly getting through Israeli air defenses. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, and we are preparing boots on the ground.

10. The Russians are not only helping the Iranians kill Americans, but they are also helping reduce the supply of oil, which raises the price of oil, which pressures Trump to ease oil sanctions, which enriches the Russians, which rewards them for helping Iran kill Americans. Right?

⚠️Former Fed Chairs Greenspan, Bernanke, and Yellen issue joint statement: “The Federal Reserve's independence and the public's perception of that independence are critical for economic performance…The reported criminal inquiry into…Powell is an unprecedented attempt…to undermine that independence.”

The Federal Reserve's independence and the public's perception of that independence are critical for economic performance, including achieving the goals Congress has set for the Federal Reserve of stable prices, maximum employment, and moderate long-term interest rates. The reported criminal inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell is an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine that independence.
This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of their economies more broadly. It has no place in the United States whose greatest strength is the rule of law, which is at the foundation of our economic success.
