@FBIDirectorKash I would also like to report the murder of Alex Pretti by the Gestapo in Minneapolis today.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Excellent.

[Røbert Éire @RSI2044]

It’s a fair point.

James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”

@DavidAFrench Too late to dump him and bring Mills back!

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

#Iran’s Account of the Latest Exchange of Fire with U.S. Forces

🔹CENTCOM confirmed overnight clashes with Iranian forces near the Strait of Hormuz, describing U.S. operations as defensive responses to unprovoked Iranian attacks. The statement provided limited details on the sequence of events or casualties.

🔹Iranian sources offer a different – and more detailed – account of what happened. According to that account, the exchange unfolded in several rounds over roughly 24 hours.

🔹It reportedly began when U.S. forces attacked two IRGC naval boats, killing four Iranian military personnel. Iran responded with anti-ship missiles targeting U.S. vessels. Iranian air defense systems then shot down at least one – some reports say three – U.S. drones operating in the area.

🔹The U.S. subsequently struck Iranian anti-ship missile launch sites and air defense systems. Iran responded again, firing multiple anti-ship missiles at U.S. vessels in the Arabian Sea.

🔹Independent verification of these claims – including the casualty figures and the extent of damage on both sides – remains limited. The competing narratives follow the familiar pattern in which each side frames its actions as a response to the other’s aggression.

🔹The more significant point is that the exchange has now moved through multiple rounds of attack and counter-attack within a single 24-hour period. That pattern is harder to contain than a single incident. It also raises the question of how this cycle interacts with the indirect negotiations currently underway…

TRUMP: "We have total control of the Strait of Hormuz"

TRUMP MOMENTS LATER: "We want the Strait of Hormuz open"

[Røbert Éire @RSI2044]

@Monica55dzrh Should be 20% so $100 would be appropriate. $40 is way to low.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

LMAO Trump is still claiming that Iran "wants to make a deal," and threatening to blow the country up if they don't. It's just pathetic at this point.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

No American president has ever sought to benefit so directly, and so immediately, from his own political decisions. Unprecedented

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Gonna need to knock off another 5 points by September. But we’re getting there.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

🇺🇸 Reporter: “You underestimated Iran 🇮🇷, didn’t you?”

🇺🇸 Donald Trump: “I didn’t underestimate. We could knock out their bridges and power in two days. Everything.”

Fun Fact : "USA unable to open a small Strait of Hormuz from past 82 days 16 hours and 33 minutes even after visiting China." 😂

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

That is the cowards lesson. The real lesson is that if you take a stand for something you know to be right and just you should keep fighting, not retreat. You need to go down brawling for what’s right. You lose your senate seat either way, but you keep your integrity.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

Latest inflation report just dropped, and it came in hot, and slightly hotter than most folks expected.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: U.S. inflation shot up to a 3.8% annual rate in April, as the war in Iran raised energy prices and costs across the country. https://t.co/pYw1gTEXWA

Because you launched a lawless evil war on a peaceful neighbor? Just a guess.

[Aaron Fritschner @Fritschner]

The 4-3 majority opinion is a 20-page rambling discourse on semantics drawing on Ralph Waldo Emerson and Samuel Johnson. The dissent by the Chief Justice concisely shreds it by quoting the law and VA Constitution. Four people overturned 3 million votes, and it’s 1000% political.

"We can fight to stop the ballroom. If this means leaving the area as a destruction site for the rest of Trump’s presidency, so be it. Let its ugliness exemplify the Trump era. Let its rubble symbolize what he's tried to do to the American republic." https://t.co/yVcOuyDSrT
