@SkyNews the iranians dont hold elections, but the us has elections in 7 months. they have the upper hand in negotiations as a result.

BREAKING: Iran's foreign minister has taken to social media to say the country's position is being 'misrepresented by U.S. media', after the Wall Street Journal reported officials were unwilling to meet U.S. counterparts in Pakistan. trib.al/PBQ72px 📺 Sky 501

@palisadesops so the season is over?

The Funitel will close at 3:30 today, and for the remainder of the season. #palisadesops

@NzSexington @peruvian_bull it takes more than a month to spin up capacity and transport.

@peruvian_bull Why can't they import fuel from US and Canada?

the east asian energy crisis is getting worse by the day let's sum up what's happened so far: the Philippines became the first country to declare a national energy emergency. government offices moved to a 4 day work week, and President Marcos says grounding planes is a "distinct possibility." their fuel supply dropped from 57 days to 45 days in less than a month. South Korea is telling citizens to take shorter showers and charge phones during the day. they're considering banning naphtha exports, which means petrochemical production starts seizing up. Japan released 80 MILLION barrels from strategic reserves, the largest drawdown since they created the system in 1978. covers about 45 days. 95% of their crude comes from the Middle East. their refineries are canceling fuel exports and cutting production to prioritize domestic supply. (talked about this in my newsletter) Vietnam has 20 days of reserves. they just panic-bought 4 million barrels from non-Middle East sources, which covers six more days. India is running out of cooking gas. restaurants are shutting down, lines wrapping around LPG distributors in multiple cities. 90% of their LPG imports go through Hormuz. New Zealand has less than 40 days of combined fuel left, gas stations are going dry in parts of the country, and the government is dusting off 1979 era rationing laws. China and Thailand have both banned or restricted fuel exports to hoard domestic supply. Singapore and Indonesian petrochemical companies are declaring force majeure. the IEA released a record 400 million barrels from strategic reserves and then said it won't be enough. Brent peaked at $126, still sitting above $90 today. the crisis deepens in East Asia.

@elonmusk Congress must appropriate money to pay them, regardless of source funds. A gift instead of wages is legal.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

@danturrentine Feels like you're missing the trees for the forest with the war. If the strait of hormuz is "re-opened", are we expecting the regime to lay down and die? Or perhaps they attack the Qatar LNG facility etc etc etc? Which sounds more probable?

@danturrentine its not a nazi tattoo.

Some cavalry for Platner at a politically delicate time.

@Camp4 Forget crime. It’s always cold in sf. That’s the real issue.

Years ago I took a job with a company in San Francisco. The agreement was that I’d commute for a couple months then relocate. (This was before remote work was a thing.) Ten months in, the CEO said, “You’re not moving here are you?” I replied, “Nope.” I hated everything about it — the never-truly-warm weather, the what-can-you-do-for-me culture, and the filthy city itself. It looks great in photos tho.

@DENAirport everything about this is insane. a gas station gift card is a cash equivalent. money for bombs but not for employees. your representatives dont seem to care -- happy to stick it to the little guy to feed their respective mobs.

❗DONATIONS NEEDED❗ Support the dedicated TSA employees working without pay by donating $10 and $20 grocery store and gas gift cards. Visa gift cards cannot be accepted. Drop off locations can be found at Final Approach cell phone lot and in the Jeppesen Terminal.

@atrupar unhinged

Schumer on the SAVE America Act: "It is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in an algorithm but together by DOGE and Musk -- it's an outrage"

@TheBarCodeNews @eastdakota people dont book a stay at the little nell for manmade snow. its like comparing mcdonalds with 5 guys.

Vail Resorts should stop buying lifts and invest in snowmaking equipment. They can write the equipment off, same as the lifts. The weather was cold enough for weeks to make good snow but they have just a tiny amount of coverage. Also, the seat covers on some existing lifts are due for replacement.

Vail Resorts ($MTN) likely to open tomorrow down to where if you invested 10 years ago you’d have done as well putting your money in a hole. It’s time for a change to become more asset-light, sell off resorts, and allow character and differentiation to return to skiing.

@ReichlinMelnick @atrupar You have to produce a bit to certificate in order to get a real id so the expectation isn’t implausible

This is not true. A REAL ID would not be accepted under the SAVE Act, because noncitizens have REAL IDs. Generally speaking, only an Enhanced Driver's License (which just 5 states offer) or a passport would be accepted. Otherwise you'd need birth or naturalization certificates.

@atrupar the obits from wapo/nyt are very strange, no?

SHEEHY: Democrats are defending the Ayatollah COLLINS: Who is? SHEEHY: Elizabeth Warren's former campaign manager COLLINS: I don't know who that is. But Elizabeth Warren is not defending the Ayatollah SHEEHY: The NYT published an obituary describing him as 'avuncular cleric' COLLINS: I think that was the Washington Post. But that's not a Democrat

@lulumeservey Poor positioning of the gop for 2028 on a new unsettled issue.

This only helps Anthropic The commander-in-chief angrily threatening to impose “major civil and criminal penalties” evokes exactly the kind of government overreach whose specter would justify Anthropic’s stance

@atrupar @grok what are the allegations of impropriety on MN's part?

Dr Oz, with Vance standing behind him, announces that "we're going to for the first time take a massive action to defer funds to a state," then details they are defending $259m of funding for Medicaid programs in Minnesota that take care of pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities

@atrupar this is extremely disingenuous since tariffs scale with expenditures.

Buttigieg: "About $1,000 is what his tariffs cost the average American household last year. And maybe to him and his billionaire allies, the kinds of people who got most of his tax cuts, that's not a lot of money. But of course to most Americans, $1,000 is a lot of money. You can't be tricked about that."

@jonfavs is this sarcasm?

The stakes are not high for Trump. The test is not whether he can stay on message or avoid picking fights or throwing his feces at John Roberts. The only thing he could do tonight to marginally improve GOP fortunes heading into the midterms would be to acknowledge that he hasn't been focused on people's financial struggles and lay out a plan to improve them. I'm sure he'll nail that.

I was head speechwriter for 5 SOTUs. It's become a relic of a speech that barely matters for even the 24 hours anyone is paying attention - and the people who are paying attention tend to be politically engaged types who've already made up their minds. This is true when the speech is a success and true when it's a disaster. Most are fine.

@palisadesops Are the rumors about Silverado true?

Scott and Lakeview are now open. #palisadesops

@elonmusk Arent you African?

For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a “multicultural economic zone”! American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that’s why people come here. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@NateSilver538 tldr; all of the candidates look bad?

The best Dem candidate is one who progressives think is a progressive and centrists think is a centrist. Harris was sort of the opposite of that. Neither progs nor centrists trusted her. I call this Liz Cheney Syndrome since Cheney has an even worse version of this problem.
