On Friday, February 27, gas was $2.79 a gallon here in Durham.
Just four days later, it's $3.10 a gallon, before 1.5 million barrels of Iranian oil are taken off the global market.
But at least eggs are still cheap.

@RadioFreeTom What Trump has done has been to recruit the ignorant and the pathological into an enduring coalition. No one really thought about this possibility in the debate leading up to Trump, but it's been his secret sauce from the beginning.

@RadioFreeTom For decades, one of the debates in political science was whether the empirical fact of the number of low-information voters was a problem for democracy. The consensus was that it didn't matter, because they were what Philip Converse called "coin flippers."
English
We could argue that Trump 1 was a one-off, a freak occurrence. But electing him *twice*? Raises reasonable questions about what kind of electorate would do that.

The drop in global perceptions of the US is 100% because of Donald Trump. Clear as day.

@Scaramucci @ablnk That's just the first installment when you're in an undeclared excursion that becomes a regime change mission before morphing into an endless occupation and nation-building counterinsurgency war.

You don’t ask for $200 billion if you don’t think it’s going to require ground troops.

@ddiamond @kaj33 Begging reporters to realize that Chamberlain Harris is not just a random executive assistant for Trump but the person he trusted to help him take classified material in 2021. And she wiped a trip to Russia off her LinkedIn.

WaPo reports: Trump put his receptionist Chamberlain Harris on the arts commission reviewing his ballroom. They omit: in 2021 Harris helped Trump move classified docs to Mar-a-Lago, kept some on her laptop. And once that went public, she wiped a 2019 trip to Russia off her CV. 1/

@IndysMenagerie @CathrnTheGr8 Still unusual in the context of Ohio. In my home state of North Carolina, we had about five times as many lynchings as Ohio did during the same period.
But nowhere northern is really "klan country" compared to the south.
English
That area is klan country and they got an all white jury. It was a civil case so they only needed a majority to side with the plaintiffs, and they couldn’t get a single thing to stick. Complete embarrassment for the cops.

Can’t overstate how pathetic the “Today will be the largest strike package yet” talking point is. Hegseth really needs to read up on the Johnson administration bragging about “body counts” during Vietnam.

@SecWar Puts up "Department of War" signs at Pentagon, attacks Iran 107 days later for Trump and Kushner's pal Netanyahu.
When do the occupation and nation-building phases begin?
English
We will finish this—and we will honor their sacrifice with decisive action.
English
@WhiteHouse @SecWar They changed the signs on the Pentagon to read "Department of War" on November 13th, 2025. Hegseth claimed it was done in the name of deterring war and bringing peace.
Only 107 days later, Trump chose to launch a war of choice at the behest of his Epstein class comrade, Bibi.
English
@timburchett @SecWar That would still be more consequences than anyone from the Epstein materials.

I am preparing a letter asking @SecWar to remove the name of Cesar Chavez from the USNS CESAR CHAVEZ.

In How to Get Rich, "written" by Trump and published in 2004, there's a day-in-the-life chapter with this anecdote among the others of famous people calling him:
"The mysterious Jeffrey calls in. As mysterious as Jeffrey is, he's one of the few people I know who can get by on just a first name." Page 185
which Jeffrey do you think he is referring too?

@BulwarkOnline The Dow was over 50,000 for a five-day period, from February 6 through February 11. It's dropped 8.18% since then.
But for Trump, it will always be over 50,000, just like the number of US deaths in the Iran War will always be 0.
English
Q: "Do you intend to potentially put US troops or more troops in the region?"
Trump: "No, I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you…The DOW just hit 50,000."

@JuddLegum How many other companies valued at over 2 billion have quarterly revenue that went up nearly 50% to a million dollars?
Imagine buying this at $70 and holding onto it. Presumably the value will increase when the storm comes.
If it never comes, it will be a penny stock.
English
Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, is absolutely tanking. The company, which trades under the ticker DJT, burned through over $700 million dollars while bringing in just $3.7 million in revenue.
The company merged with a nuclear fusion firm, bought a bunch of bitcoin, floated a spin-off of Truth Social. None of it has worked.
English
When they put up the "Department of War" sign at the Pentagon, Hegseth said this:
"And of course, the whole goal is to deter wars in the first place ... to establish peace."
107 days later, the US attacked Iran. It was probably already planned.

@CPAC Will it be finished when the occupation and nation-building phase is complete, or is the plan to keep at it until gas reaches $5.00 a gallon?

@DougHenwood She was born in '61, so this is one of the dumbest things he's ever said, and that's saying something.
And it wouldn't have been him, it would have been FDR.

@RiverFox1 There's his sister, but he could certainly drive up to NC from FL.
I really hope he just retires. But who knows, maybe Virginia Fox retires and he runs for the House from the 5th District.
I somehow doubt he's just going to go away quietly.
English
Much of the top management within the civil service is run by career people who are eligible for retirement. Longstanding tradition that they can simply step down and retire, avoiding any real consequences for whatever bad acts they may have committed.

@VellCal @smalls2672 That's what it says.
For me, the alarming thing is that I didn't follow them, and if they had tried to follow me, I would have blocked them. But somehow they were following me and I was following them.
And 500 of my followers were, too.

Get a load of this waterhead that just followed me. Baby shit for brains.

We've gone from "Mean Tweets and Cheap Gas! Trump 2024!" to "Yeah gas is expensive now. Suck it up for freedom! You're not a commie are you?!"
danny@dabbs346
Oh my god. On the radio, NRSC-endorsed Michele Tafoya says that gas prices are spiking because of the Iran war that she supports and that people should “take one less trip to Starbuck’s” and to “just try to be patriots” about it. #mnsen
