Karen Bass rigged the election in Los Angeles so that she could face a more threatening challenger from the left in an overwhelmingly liberal city rather than a challenger from the right at a time when MAGA is the most toxic political brand. Very astute analysis here.

[Aaron Astor @AstorAaron]

Donald Trump tonight has come across like a sad victim of one of Donald Trump's many scams over the years. He looks like he attended Trump University and is wondering why and how he was so easily suckered...but by himself. I've never seen such obvious weakness from the guy.

Taxpayers realizing they will pay $300 billion to reconstruct Iran after paying $70 billion to destroy it

[Damon Linker @DamonLinker]

Unlike Obama unfreezing $1.7 billion in Iranian funds held since the 1979 revolution, Trump is offering Iran a $300 billion outright bribe to let him get out of the mess of the war he started so he can claim a victory and move on.

[Dow @mark_dow]

Trump has won this war 7 times.

He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.

And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.

What more do you want from him?

You know you're getting old when the radio stations and bars play music you don't like, but the supermarket is throwing out banger after banger.

@ByPatForde Strength of schedule is extremely skewed by biased preseason rankings. This is why the SEC is a fraud.

[Aaron Astor @AstorAaron]

If you're wondering how the Iranian regime is surviving the blockade, they are exporting oil to China. This WSJ piece explains how.

[Eric Levitz @EricLevitz]

Trump could have presided over a very strong economy. All he had to do was...nothing: Inflation was trending downward, the AI boom was raising growth.

Instead, he engineered a global trade war and energy shock, while shrinking America's labor force. https://t.co/JvvlsQ83R8

"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - General Dwight D. Eisenhower

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine." - General William Tecumseh Sherman

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

This was literally the most predicted and predictable outcome of a war with Iran. It still stuns me how leaders in Israel, Washington, and Tampa (CENTCOM) almost entirely failed to anticipate this in their plans and the 2nd/3rd order effects

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Trump is NOT a Manchurian Candidate, sent by Russia and China to infiltrate America and bring it down.

But often, it's very hard to say what a Manchurian Candidate would do differently.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@InthePhishBowl What a deep and thoughtful list. May I add the sensitive way he covers the material of other artists:
