Officially one of my fave cat videos of all time now

10 years ago, Trump savaged the Obama admin and Hillary Clinton for giving Iran 1/50th of this amount of cash.

20 billion for Iran. 0 for Ukraine. Go figure.

@AdamKinzinger @FoxNews Someone needs to check on Terrence

Just flagging this again for. @FoxNews so they can begin their year long coverage of the “pallets of cash” since this is 5 times bigger than Obama did

MAGA: we love sending”pallets of cash” to Iran, that’s what I voted for.

To sum up the day. The Strait of Hormuz is still not open unless vessels go through the Iranian tollbooth, the U.S. naval blockade of Iran continues, and the dramatic decline in oil prices is caused not by the changing reality on the ground but by market expectations — possibly over-optimistic — that the U.S. and Iran will strike a nuclear deal in the foreseeable future.

A reasonable deal is better than a return to war and I’ll support it. But let’s remember that this is a colossal failure for Trump and for US interests. 1. We could have had this deal or something similar before the war without: the death and destruction across the Middle East; massive damage to US allies and partners and global relationships; huge use of military resources that will take years to rebuild; and significant damage to the global economy. 2. If Trump hadn’t left the JCPOA we’d probably be in the midst of negotiations on extensions of key components and follow on deals at this point but from a much stronger position. Iran wouldn’t have 400KG of HEU and we’d have the most comprehensive inspections regime ever developed to catch any cheating. Instead this 3 page MOU will probably involve nothing even close on what is arguably the single most important element of any nuclear deal - inspections and verification.

"A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, welcoming the move as a sign of 'seriousness' in reaching a deal with Washington in talks ‌in Islamabad. The source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters that unfreezing the assets was 'directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,' which is expected to be a key issue in the talks." reuters.com/business/finan…

Soooooo… Reports are that the Trump administration has unfrozen $6 billion in Iranian funds. If you recall, Iran demanded that and a ceasefire in Lebanon before peace talks in Islamabad could begin with JD Vance. Something something about pallets of cash. 🙄

PALLETS OF CASH PACKED ONTO 747S HEADING STRAIGHT TO IRAN!

Remember when MAGA melted down over Obama’s imaginary “pallets of cash” to Iran? Now Trump’s doing it for real — and not a peep.

If any of my Harvard S-1731 students are here: If you got at least a B, you understand the Just War tradition better than the Vice President does.

BREAKING: Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal critical details during the earlier handling of the Epstein investigation. Leading the lawsuit is Maria Farmer—one of the first women to publicly accuse Epstein—along with a group of survivors who say they have collectively spent more than $1.1 million to pursue the case in search of accountability. The plaintiffs argue that key decisions made during the original case allowed Epstein to avoid more serious charges for years, raising troubling questions about whether influential figures helped shield him from justice. The lawsuit has quickly drawn widespread public attention and support, with many viewing it as a long-overdue effort to uncover the truth and hold powerful individuals accountable. If the case moves forward, it could reveal significant new information about how the Epstein investigation was handled—and whether opportunities for justice were deliberately missed.

Trump’s White House Faith Office advisor Paula White: “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”

The raccoon penis is officially part of the congressional record.

Emil Bove helped put the former Honduran president in prison. Trump pardoned him and set him free. Roger Stone acknowledged delivering the pardon request. A month after the pardon, Trump risked the lives of US troops to capture Nicholas Maduro so he could face almost identical criminal charges. The same DEA case agent led both investigations.

Montage of Trump clips talking about his love of the Bible and reading in general.

They only closed it when Trump and Israel started a massive bombing campaign killing their leaders and school children. It’s also interesting that we can now apparently take them at their word on this.

He got the Strait closed, disrupted the entire global economy, exploded gas prices, wrecked our alliances, killed thousands of innocent people including young girls at a school, depleted American missile stockpiles, degraded our Middle East military bases, and destroyed America’s global standing only to get the Strait reopened on Iran’s terms and potentially give them $20 billion. The art of the deal!
