It's really sad because if we had elected a normal president, the 250th anniversary of our country would have been a really cool celebration of everything that makes this country great.
Instead, we get one miserable, unpopular asshole inserting himself into every little thing and making it about himself.
And it was entirely predictable if you had a pulse the past 10 years. Oh well...
JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."
DUBAI, United Arab Emirate (AP) — Iran's joint military command says on state TV that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and cites Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
One of the reasons Trump cited for abandoning the JCPOA in 2018: The deal "fails to address the regime's development of ballistic missiles... we will be working with our allies... to eliminate the threat of Iran's ballistic missile program."
Trump, eight years later:
He’s so smug. He knows none of this matters and he’s going to be confirmed by the GOP senate that is as afraid of Trump’s fragile ego as much as he is.
KAINE: Was the 2024 election rigged?
HAL DUNCAN: President Trump won the 2024 election
KAINE: How about that? He was asked twice if the 2020 election was rigged, and he wouldn't answer the question. You're afraid of making an insecure president mad.
The White House was built to serve the American people.
Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.
The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.
They did not fight a revolution for this.
“Michelle Obama is a man” shouted on the White House lawn in a ring sponsored by Bud Light only available on Larry Ellison’s Paramount Plus. What a way to celebrate America 250 and the twilight of liberal democracy.
Um: preamble to 2015 JCPOA that Trump tore up: "Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons." Literally the same.
Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID. And everyone else should be too.
Spencer Pratt, a maga reality TV dumbass that gets power from crystals got like 20% in the race for mayor of one of the most liberal and democratic cities in the country. Statically and mathematically him getting even that many votes feels like the one in a trillion.
💥NEW: @chamath on LA Mayor Election: “I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically IMPOSSIBLE … I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!”
Nehls: Donald Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a hundred years. He was born a very special baby. I bet the doctors said, “I can tell this is a very special baby.”
Florida's population losses are compounding.
Miami had the 4th-largest population loss among U.S. metros in Q1 2026.
Orlando had the 6th biggest.
And Tampa lost more people than Chicago.
This data comes from Bank of America's internal account data and is a shocking revelation for anyone who thinks Florida's housing market is recovering.
People continue to leave Florida due to still high prices, soaring property taxes, and expensive insurance.
So much so that a state that was built on massive levels of in-migration of Americans is now losing people in its three biggest metro areas.
As a result, don't be surprised if Florida's housing market continues to correct until things become cheap enough to keep people from leaving.

The bombings will continue until there is a deal finalized on opening a strait that was open before the bombings started and identifying a clear path on nuclear talks that were underway before the bombing started.
