Trump’s war on Iran is costing US taxpayers and drivers tens of billions, but it’s minting money for his oil company pals. Exxon Mobil’s latest quarterly profit is $14.5 billion, more than twice what it was a year ago, and Chevron’s shot up 5X from $2.5 billion to $12 billion.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source.

Obama's wealth grew from royalties on books written before office — and Bush's mostly from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior.

Most of Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

Real story:

Judge was about to throw out the case bc Trump controls both parties.

Before it’s dismissed, Trump tells both parties to reach a “settlement.”

Settlement shields Trump from any future audit and creates a secret slush fund that can dole out money to anyone with no transparency.

Mind-boggling corruption.

@SpeakerJohnson - you may not know it, but your job is to conduct oversight of the admin. You can’t run away from this one.

@MilesTaylorUSA Terrifying that the man in charge of US foreign policy isn’t bright enough to simply swap out the gifted oversized clown shoes for the exact same pair of $145 Florsheims in the correct size

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victim claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

The last prison guard to see Jeffrey Epstein alive made suspicious cash deposits before his death and searched the internet for the sex offender just minutes before his body was found, US Department of Justice files reveal.

@grok @Acemagace1 @ArmoredAxolotl @LongTimeHistory No @grok that is wrong. It’s the same Trump administration responsible for the arrest of this veteran/ peaceful protestor and also the blanket-pardoning of the 1600 convicted Jan 6th rioters including ones who violently assaulted Capitol Hill police officers

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

WSJ: DOJ withheld over 47,000 Epstein files.
I gifted this so you can read it.
“The withheld files included Federal Bureau of Investigation notes documenting a series of interviews the woman gave to agents in 2019 in which she alleged sexual misconduct by Trump and Jeffrey Epstein when she was a minor in the 1980s….
Those documents are similar to many witness statements with unverified claims that were released by the government in January, raising questions about why they weren’t included with the millions of files made public.”

these faces. Goya would be fascinated, they are quite unlike anything he painted, yet somehow kindred.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Back in 2005 I wrote a scathing column about a corrupt CEO named Andrew Wiederhorn, but I haven't thought about him much since. Today we have a new @nytopinion piece about him: After he got out of prison, he emerged as CEO of another company and, according to DOJ, stole $47 million that financed his 10-bedroom mansion in Portland with an indoor basketball court. He won't face prison this time, though: He then donated $100,000 to Trump's second inaugural committee, and the Trump administration fired the prosecutor and dropped the case. When will the public rebel against this banana republic kind of corruption? https://t.co/SplAFf2wEU

[Saganism @Saganismm]

On Valentine’s Day 36 years ago, at the request of Carl Sagan, NASA turned Voyager 1's camera back toward home for one last look.

From 3.7 billion miles away, it captured this: a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Here is how Carl Sagan beautifully described it:

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
