Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

A bright moment: there is an herb store run by very cool women near my apartment. Last week we got to talking about small hobbies, one of mine (albeit: exhausting) is making butter. Today they gave me a 12y/o bit of their sourdough starter. I gave them my butter I made today. Bartering Bitches

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
