I hope everyone knows where their towel is.

Regarding the First Lady’s condemnation of Kimmel’s latest incitement, think what it must be like to have total strangers wishing you and your family dead. Trump can be a rude provocateur. Kimmel is a sadist masquerading as a comedian.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

The controversial weed killer Roundup is now being deployed in private and public forests at record rates. We go inside the secret plan that helped make it possible. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…







It's been over a year and a half since the Marvels came out, none of the main characters are involved in Avengers Doomsday, but hey...keep beating that dead horse.









Washington didn’t simply miscalculate its sanctions strategy in the Iran war, it boxed itself completely into a corner. Two months into the Iran War, and global energy markets are short millions of barrels per day. Countries are rapidly facing mounting energy crises, and few options exist to fill the gap. The system still needs volume. Through a series of “temporary” measures, Treasury and OFAC controversially expanded access to Russian oil. General License 134 became 134A, then 134B. With 134B vastly expanding the pool of available energy products from Russia free of sanctions. Prior to these moves, Ural was trading at a discount to Brent. After? As high as a $15/barrel premium. Here’s the reality Washington now faces: There is no scalable replacement for lost Hormuz supply that doesn’t involve Russia. Not Iran. Not the U.S. Not anyone else. What concerns me about this is that there is REALLY only one solution that can stymie that rapidly accelerating energy crisis facing Asia and Oceania: A massive and sweeping unsanctioning of Russian energy. Not as a "strategy". As a desperate move to slap a band-aid on our ill-conceived decision to start this conflict, and Treasury's atrocious wargaming of their economic toolkit. By the White House and Treasury failing to plan and execute throughout this conflict, we are now facing an inevitable long-term replenishment of Russia's war chest the West has spent the past 4.5 years trying to deplete. #Russia #Iran #Oil #StraitOfHormuz #Trump
