Trump fails to mention that before the war the average was 600 MILLION barrels of oil per month. So we now have 17% of the oil coming through. Yay. Mission accomplished. 😮💨
Not Overheard at the Pentagon (b/c I am not allowed to go there anymore), from GWOT vet in response to the proposed Global War on Terror war memorial, unveiled today: "My idea was to have an eternal flame at the bottom of a big hole that you could just throw money at. That would reenact the war for me."
This excerpt details shocking collusion between @DAGToddBlanche and the White House to cover up the Epstein files and save Trump's ass. Blanche is at secret Situation Room meetings. He's part of spiking the release of a document database. @JudiciaryDems take note!
This info should once again disqualify @DAGToddBlanche in case everything else already hadn’t and it will also make for a great congressional hearing next spring.
A reminder that the USAID shutdown was a gross violation of the Constitution, and was permitted by the Supreme Court on the shadow docket for no valid reason at all (literally almost no serious scholars think POTUS can shut down a program funded by Congress).
It’s fascinating to watch Trump claim we destroyed everything in Iran and a declaration of “total victory” is days away before he hits targets that prove quite a lot is still operational. All while downplaying the downing of an Apache as no big deal. Our cognitive warfare needs an MRI.
@seanspicer@washingtonpost Hi Sean, the story correctly says that the press corps — aside from the pool — will not be allowed on the White House grounds that day. https://t.co/Y4ly0HlVPt
Major alcohol study just released (after unexplained delay from HHS):
Even 1 drink per day linked to higher risks of serious illness & premature death - including liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, and injuries. No net health benefits found at any level.
This taxpayer-funded review adds to evidence that alcohol harms start low. It’s sparking fresh questions about past U.S. dietary guidelines and potential industry influence.
Key takeaway: Less is better for long-term health! https://t.co/Xq1Q5BV2u3
It’s incredible how Congress as an institution has voted itself into irrelevance. Why would DHS ever respond to their concerns or questions now? They’re irrelevant
The worst thing about lying about election results — “It was rigged!” — is that lots of people, in their innocence or gullibility, believe you, even if you know better and are just playing politics. Lies about elections weaken our democracy. Which I suppose is the point.
