The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 8 days. Everyone thinks this is about oil. This is about what oil becomes. 92% of the world's sulfur comes from refining oil and gas. Close the Strait of Hormuz and you don't just lose 20 million barrels of crude per day. You lose the

This is absolutely infuriating and completely idiotic. An estimated 95,000 scientists and researchers have left federal agencies since Trump returned to the White House. These are the people tracking hurricanes, studying pediatric cancer, and modeling the climate tipping points

This was almost certainly struck using targeting data from Russia and China. These planes a critical and incredibly valuable US assets. The US has lost more critical (non-human) assets in 3 weeks in the Gulf than during the *entire* Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Yet Trump rewards

The American people have a right to know what's going on. What you're watching, in real time, is a madman starting a world war for the sole purpose of finding a way to stay in power. I always said Donald Trump would make the world burn if he could benefit from it. Here we are.

That was the russians. U.S. Air Force parked its E-3s on the taxiways as Iran has no space recon capability and thus could not know / aim for an E-3 on a taxiway. russia used its space recon satellites to provide Iran with the exact coordinates / time to strike.

Trump is unilaterally redirecting $1.25 billion in taxpayer money for foreign aid to his personally controlled "Board of Peace." This isn't even a normal U.S. government entity. It's a "public international organization" he created by executive order, naming himself as chairman

Donald Trump is fine with Russia giving Iran intelligence and targeting data on American forces. He’s done nothing to stop them. He’s kneels in the blood of dead Americans while fumbling with Putin’s zipper. In related news, even the President can commit treason.

America has been destroyed by Trump: The economy has been destroyed, our alliances have been destroyed, gas prices have skyrocketed, inflation is rising, groceries are more expensive, environmental protections have been gutted, cancer research has been cut, health insurance has

Hormuz isn't an oil story. It's much deeper. Fertilizer. Sulfur. Helium. Plastics. Supply shocks, all the way down. And inflation & chaos if the strait remains closed. New Ramble: The Cascade campbellramble.ai/p/the-cascade

What's up to the Lord is up to the Lord, and I am neither a theologian nor a perfect person by any means, but Trump's malignant narcissism—a morally and psychologically toxic mixture of egomania, self-centeredness, callousness, remorselessness, mendacity, greed, sadism, spite,

This weekend we learned Trump's ballroom is just the roof of the military bunker where he will desperately try to hold onto power in January 2029

Sounds like war crimes to me…

NBC News exposes massive insider trading right before the Trump administration launched the Iran war. Elites pocketed millions with advance knowledge of military strikes while ordinary Americans suffer soaring gas prices and job losses. The corruption is staggering.

A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. ft.com/content/744ea8…

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) Just before launching a war. FT has the scoop: ft.com/content/744ea8… In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

I’m no lawyer but “Politicians lying is sufficient justification to kill them” seems like a legal theory that could have some unintended consequences.

Rubio discovers the concept of misplaced priorities.

This is grounds for impeachment because it’s pure unadulterated corruption. Together with another 100 instances of it. The level of illegality Trump reaches is astounding

If you know something will set the world on fire, and you do it anyway, and the consequences unfold exactly as predicted - at what point does the rest of the world stop looking at Washington as a fireman and start reckoning with the fact that they're dealing with an arsonist?
