The Iron Law of American Politics is this: The more a candidate is a genuine threat to oligarchy, the more the entire political establishment and elite media will try to destroy them with ever-more ruthless tactics and uncorroborated allegations. @sirota/note/c-270768644?r=fcyla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@sirota/note/c…

Trump reached deep into his profanity lexicon a week ago to warn Netanyahu not to attack, then told the world he had put Bibi in his place and troops were even turning around. Peace was at hand thanks to Trump’s strength and his fury, Axios reported. A week later that very bombing run is carried out and Iran is promising major retaliation. We have had a lot of weak presidents over our history but perhaps none weaker than Trump. He gets pushed around by a small nation of a few million people that we subsidize.

🚨 Israel Strikes Beirut’s Southern Suburbs Killing at Least 2 — Iran Signals Response Israeli forces struck the Dahiyeh district of Beirut’s southern suburbs Sunday, killing at least 2 people and wounding 11 in strikes on residential apartments, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The strikes came after several weeks during which Israel had refrained from targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs amid Iranian pressure via its negotiations with the U.S.. 🔹Netanyahu’s office confirmed the attack, stating: “In accordance with the directive of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, the IDF is now striking terrorist headquarters in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah fire toward Israeli territory.” 🔹Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported that Israel informed the United States in advance of the strikes. 🔹The first strike targeted the Mreijeh area, near the al-Aytam station intersection on the road to Tahwitat al-Ghadir, according to L’Orient. The strikes are occurring with relentless Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon that killed 20 and wounded 85 on Saturday. 🔹Trump, speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, said he is not demanding that Lebanon be included in any agreement with Tehran — significant as ceasefire negotiations with Iran continue and Iran demands full end to war across the region. 🔹Iranian officials responded immediately: ▪️ Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf, one of Iran’s most senior security officials and lead of negotiating team, warned that the Beirut strike and the ongoing U.S. naval blockade have crossed a red line: “They are neither committed to a ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and by demonstrating through the naval blockade and violation of agreements regarding Lebanon that they only understand the language of power.” He added: “The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and America’s green light today to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets. The hand of our armed forces is ready, as always.” ▪️ Iranian MP Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee: “We will deliver a decisive and painful response. Look at the sky over the occupied lands tonight.”

@esaagar They used oil to build out their renewable infrastructure so they could pivot in case of this very situation. Plus a planned economy has more control.

This remains the most important geopolitical story with no clear answer: Why is China importing 40% less oil than normal? As a softpower gift to Asia? At the request of the US? To prove how energy independent they are? All answers are not great for the US
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

CHART OF THE DAY: Perhaps the most important story in global markets / geopolitics right now. China's oil imports plunged to ~6.6m b/d in May, according to @Vortexa data, down ~38% vs 2025 average (or ~4m b/d). I wrote this @Opinion column in early May: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

#BREAKING: Psaki: The people who spent months saying you were going to bankrupt NYC are the same people now supporting the ridiculous $1.776 billion fund. What say you? NYC Mayor: “…there is a politics across this country that is completely at peace with the idea of spending billions of dollars to enrich those who already have more money than they know what to do with, and what they are offended by is  the idea of spending that money to help those who have been left behind by our politics. It just shows that it’s all a question of priorities, it’s not a question of what’s possible.”🤔

Part of the Democratic alienation of the working class is economic policy, but the other part is how much of the party is run by snooty elitists who hate imperfect people
Shane@Mountain_Twhick

This is why you lose. Your perspective is more than useless. You don’t get it but you can see that a lot of people are in fact getting it, and instead of trying to understand why this is working and appealing to people, your response to that is “you can all go fuck yourself”

And this is how Donald Trump won the election. When the Clintons went after him for his treatment of women (which has been awful), he brought all of Bill's accusers to the debate. You can't throw stones in glass houses.

Republicans are passing a temporary rule change that will force us to vote on legislation the same day it’s introduced. This shell game allows the Senate to jam the House with a spending bill that’s not even settled. I support border security, but not this bastardized process.

@Mugah_duncan @SenSanders The social contract must be rewritten. This is the role of government to advocate for the public and ease disruptions. A tax on each job replaced by AI and on each robot, to fund education and capital startup to those displaced.

Ideally work should be created for those whose work are replaced by AI. Humanity will suffer for sure, perhaps not every individual have what it takes to sustain them, most people live on a paycheck. For instance if you do away with waiters in hotels, who will carry out the work? Of course the Roberts, what does it do to human labour?? It thras it to the ground, people remain jobless.

Is Congress doing anything to help the millions of workers who could lose their jobs to AI and robotics? No. They're intimidated by the hundreds of millions the AI industry is pouring into super PACs. We must ban super PACs and crack down on corruption.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right again about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the United States military with the IDF. Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the United States to compromise its own security for Benjamin Netanyahu's demands. "The difference between a conspiracy theory in Washington has been reduced from six months to six days."

Constitution requires two-thirds vote from the Senate to bind us to another country. They hid it in the bill because they knew it was unconstitutional. It’s treasonous as far as I’m concerned. Every single person who voted for this needs removed from office.
Coyote of Wallstreet@YoteOfStreet

‼️ Section 224 creates a binding relationship with a foreign nation in our critical defense and military systems. The Framers wrote Article II, Section 2 to require a two-thirds Senate vote for any agreement that binds us to another country. Instead, they buried it in a must-pass bill to avoid debate. This is exactly why they’re trying to nuke the filibuster.
