National Park Service analysis finds that the firm given a no-bid contract for Trump's repair of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being paid an inflated and excessive profit margin, @Fahrenthold reports. https://t.co/LlKj4R1G9I

Awful call on Brodin in Minnesota Dallas game. One of the worst I’ve seen in the playoffs

The president of the United States, 8:06 am ET, threatens Iran: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.“

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

There's a lot of confusion out there, including with Trump, that the US has lots of oil to sell to the world.

We do not. We're a net importer of crude (~+3 Mb/d). The EIA reports that fact in great detail every week.

The confusion stems from using the term "petroleum exports" which includes the bodacious amounts of natural gas liquids (NGL) that come from our wet gas plays. That stuff isn't "oil" and it is exported because it's wildly overproduced compared to our needs.

Yes, the US is a net exporter of "petroleum," but it's also a net IMPORTER of crude oil. In other words, the US has none to sell.

There's more complexity to why we export 3M b/d of crude (it's the wrong kind for our refineries) and also import 6.4 M b/d of crude (which is the right kind).

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

He’s at war in Iran without congressional authorization. He overthrew Venezuela by force. He threatened to invade a NATO ally. Now he wants to take Cuba and thinks he can do “anything he wants” with it.

Where the hell are my Republican colleagues? They took the same oath I did.

Every single one of them who stays silent owns this.

A Congress that won’t stop a president who answers to no one isn’t a co-equal branch. It’s an accomplice.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: Cuba, it's a beautiful island. Great weather. I will be having the honor of taking Cuba. Whether I free it, take it. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth

They just seethe with hostility toward Ukraine, and the Ukrainian cause. Their loathing of Ukraine is almost in the realm of the psychological, rather than the political. (You heard, of course, the echo of Chamberlain in what she said.) (But Chamberlain was a basically good man.)

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

This is the most important thing happening in the world right now.

The administration wants killer drones + mass surveillance of Americans.

Anthropic refuses to build it. While most tech companies fall in line, they are prepared to pay the price for their principles.

'It's certainly not constitutional or legal... the president has zero authority under the Constitution to do what he's suggesting.' Republican elections lawyer Ben Ginsberg weighs in on Trump's call for the GOP to 'take over the voting' in 15 places.
