31. They added another a couple days after we published that. ☹️

Between this, and North Korean troops, and North Korean missiles, it's plain that Ukraine is now standing alone against Russia and North Korea.

Ahahahahaha

No Trump defamation claim survives discovery.

[Aaron David Miller @aarondmiller2]

Of Trump's options, this may be least harmful in an impossible situation - no return to major combat; keep economic squeeze and force the regime to deal with a deteriorating economy. Probably won't work. But It makes virtue out of a necessity. No deal is possible now on Straits.

[Phil Gordon @PhilGordonDC]

U.S. acceptance of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz is an extraordinary outcome only made conceivable by an administration that squandered legitimacy, alienated allies, attempted regime change in a war it had not adequately prepared for and that is being forced to accept a catastrophic outcome without viable alternatives.

Counterfactuals are impossible to prove but in other circumstances Iran's closure of Strait by brazenly attacking maritime traffic and neighbors' civilian infrastructure would likely have justified and led to a united, global response--like the U.S.-led naval escort mission during the Iran-Iraq war, the global coalition that reversed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1991, the multinational naval force enforcing UN sanctions in the Gulf in the 1990s, or the UN Security Council sanctions on the Iranian nuclear program in the 2010s--that led to the JCPOA.

Instead US and other countries are now being forced to accept an outcome that would have been unthinkable before the war but seems to have become unavoidable because of it.

Like tariffs but hate it when prices are higher.
Hate deficits but hate higher taxes and less spending.
Like bombing Iran but hate paying more for gas.
Hate communism but love govt ownership of firms.
Love the Constitution but hate how we can't force people to be Christians.

This alone added about $400-600 to the cost of a 🆕 roof, and about $1200 to the cost of 🆕siding

Vents, drip edge, coil trim, and gutters are all made out of aluminum.

Frank Kendall recently said the following to the New York Times on the record. No additional level of detail is attributed to him.

--------

“Time didn’t permit all the normal Air Force One modifications, so some mix of security, communications and support is missing,” said Frank Kendall, the former Air Force secretary who was in charge of the department as it tried to push Boeing to accelerate its long-delayed contract to deliver two new Air Force One planes.

“With the Iran situation, this could be of concern,” Mr. Kendall said. “Frankly, I’m surprised to see this plane used outside the U.S.”

[Scott Lincicome @scottlincicome]

Many people are saying this!

In other words, first the US engaged in secret currency manipulation and then blames the victim for saying anything about it.

[Brad Polumbo @brad_polumbo]

I can't stand Hasan Piker, but it's wrong and potentially unconstitutional if his event was cancelled due to his beliefs or statements

[Rep. Richard Neal @RepRichardNeal]

I’ll say it plainly: Americans are seeing prices soar and jobs vanish because of Trump’s tariffs.

How can you look at this reality and decide now is the time to give this lawless president more tariff authority?

[Catherine Rampell @crampell]

This bill just passed the Senate, 86-11.
It will do very little on sanctions, but it will give Trump huge & unprecedented new powers to place 100% tariffs on many of our allies

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

The logic here points ever downwards and simply takes the Senate out of its essential role, shrugging "it could be worse," while presidents saddle the country with precisely the type of destructive sycophants Senate confirmation was designed to keep away from power.

[Nick Drake @bgfalconfan]

Spending 20+ years in construction and it always amazes me when people find out how screwed up it is. 😂

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

The more I've learned about how US building codes work, the more scandalized I've become. It almost makes zoning look good! Our codes, which are owned by a private entity, are changed constantly, with almost no research or cost-benefit analysis...

[DCGomez @AllThingsNatSec]

Don’t thank me. Thank President Trump. He should get all the credit.

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

.@SenCassidy, no criticism. Why waste that energy? You don’t give a sh!t. Obviously. You know damn well Blanche will not serve the interests of the American people. You also know, after Trump has run your ass out of town come January, the #slushfund and #IRSimmunity will be operationalized. So yeah, what’s new.

@elainejgodfrey 2001 state school grad. My 4 years cost roughly $50K total. This current system is not sustainable!

The best part of this is his spin has to get more dumb by the month.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Kevin Hassett on new unemployment data: “There was a big decline in government employment, which is partly because of DOGE and partly because there was so much snow over the winter that there were extra school days at the end of the year. And so the normal time when teachers would take the summer off was June, but a lot of them got pushed into July.”
