Oh, well holy fucking record scratch. It turns out administration actually does matter for policy outcomes.
The villains of this story, the supposed neocons throughout the administration, who do not actually exist, supposedly tanked the country for Republicans by…telling the president the IRGC wouldn't abide by Vance's agreement.
Reader, you'll never guess what happened next.
Vast sums of ink have already been deputized to explore the folly found in Vance's "all the stuff Democrats want to do, but it's me" sales pitch.
One might think otherwise, but you'd have to work pretty hard to find tweets nuttier than this one.
Fine, I’ll say it.
Susie and everyone else who advised Trump to listen to the people afraid to rock the boat need to go.
Time for a complete White House shakeup, starting with PPO. @SergioGor brought in way too many staffers and not enough hitters who DGAF..

From March, 11 last year. He didn’t. nationalreview.com/2025/03/d…
This was the good laugh we all needed today.
Did he tell him to do the tariffs that nuked wage growth for 18 months?
Marc Thiessen is the Anthony Fauci of 2026. Trump was on a glide path to the most successful presidency in modern history, and Thiessen rolled in, fed him a bunch of lies, destroyed his approval ratings with neocon forever war nonsense, and left him with a smoking crater where Republicans used to be standing.

It was gas prices.
It was the war.
It was also the corruption.
The incompetence.
The tariffs.
The playing nice with Russia.
The impression of cruelty.
The overly aggressive deportations.
The accidental arrests of American citizens who were Hispanic.
The arrogance.
The ballroom.
The reflecting poll.
The golf courses.
The arch.
The Qatari 747.
The aggressive redistricting push.
The threats against enemies.
Was just thinking, should the Democrats choose to spend the entirety of the next 8 months on an impeachment trial that'd leave me 0% unhappy actually.
"Cornyn ignored me 8% of the time!"
"Hmm, that's really interesting. How much do you suppose you'll be ignored by this other guy for the next 6 years then?"

Trump and his political team have managed to do what the pre-Trump GOP never did — shrink the map of Republican states. Bush and Rove turned Texas red. Trump turned it blue. The pre-Trump GOP turned Georgia red. Trump turned it blue. But MAGA says we can't go back to winning.

As a rule, I don't like to comment an institution I was formerly involved with...but, man, this is sad.
During my 10 years at Popular Mechanics we worked hard to avoid political fads and keep the magazine focused on technology.
Even when we tackled politically fraught topics—like debunking 9/11 conspiracy theories, reviving nuclear power, or digital surveillance—we endeavored to stick to hard facts.
The lead story in the new issue of Popular Mechanics is “How to Fight a Data Center.”
How sad and bizarre. Another once-great technology magazine turned against technology by leftists.

I'm talking about things Democrats actually propose & campaign for - including their leaders in Congress & their most recent presidential nominee.
Here's a simple one, Tom: will you promise your readers that Democrats would never attempt to eliminate the Senate filibuster?
This is otherwise known as the space in the middle of the N column, it is stamped on every bingo card.
It is, always and forever the economy, stupid.
.@mawrightjr: RE the One True Cause of the (probable) Blue Wave — “Was it Trump fatigue, the tariffs, or Iran and high gas prices?” — my view is that we will look back on the Liberation Day tariffs the same way we see Biden’s Afghanistan debacle in the summer of 2021.
Why? Afghanistan and Liberation Day were the moments when normie, not-particularly partisan Americans looked up in horror and lost confidence that Biden and then Trump were capable of competence. Neither presidency ever recovered.
If the economy was roaring through 2025, inflation was under control, and real wages were up, voters may have given Trump a little more leash on Iran and high gas prices in 2026.
After the shambolic deployment of the tariffs in April 2025, voters simply weren’t going to do that.
But question: Why is @jimgeraghty so certain we’re living on Earth One instead of Earth 607 or Earth 899?

Their problem is not with Israel's military procurement process, their problem is said military's existence.
