When Obama sent Iran $400m + $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it "insane" and he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of "pallets of cash" even though it was Iran's own money, American prisoners were released, courts were likely to require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to significant and verified reductions and restrictions on its nuclear program for 15+ years. Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount of revenue--one of the most significant measures of sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since its founding--in exchange for marginal and temporary relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and even as Iran continues to target the United States, its allies, and world oil supplies. No way to read as anything other than desperate recognition of the situation Trump's own actions have created and the lack of available alternatives for dealing with it.

🚨U.S. to allow Iran to get ~14 billion dollars (!!!) in oil revenue 🚨This is a huge financial concession to Iran by the U.S. 🚨It is the first time U.S. is buying Iranian oil since 1996 🚨It's all happening in the middle of a war against...Iran

As gas prices soar and as TSA lines slam air travelers… 1) Half of Congress has “peaced out” and gone home this weekend 2) Half of Congress is slogging through a debate on Trump’s voting restrictions law that will NOT pass And midterms are coming……

Lost count of all the times people scoffed at a 1970s-style inflation “double top.” Not as much laughter now. 😞

Here’s the thing: wars have budget costs, and they have economic costs. The first shows up in government accounts. The second shows up as less national income. Spread across households, that’s roughly $2,000 to $5,000 per family.

We just published my swan song for The Post: Congress nears tipping point of irrelevance. It’s been an amazing 19-plus-year run, especially last decade of this @PKCapitol column. The Post has been family, giving me this perch to cover Congress. So lucky … washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

His fury at our NATO allies is wildly incoherent. He says reopening the strait is easy and that we've already "won." But if so, why hasn't he done it yet himself, and why does he need help? He obviously wants to spread around blame for this fiasco. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/208047…

3 weeks into war: 1. US gas prices are skyrocketing 2. Iran and Russian oil sanctions are lifted while they work together to kill Americans 3. US military ops have radically degraded Iran’s war machinery The WH needs to explain: (a) #2 (b) How #3 eventually reverses #1 🇺🇸

It is a massive failure and scandal that the admin went to war with Iran so thoroughly unprepared that one result is that the US is enabling Iran and Russia to PROFIT from this war.
