It’s a good weekend to read a book of compelling short stories about messy relationships, gay life, love, and lust, and broken hearts with some dark humor and surprising twists. Enjoy! amazon.com/Scars-Voices-Adam…

Obama’s JCPOA (Iran Nuclear Agreement) was 159 pages long. Fucking amateur hour with this administration.
.@VP says on CNN that the memorandum of understanding with Iran is about a page and half long.

Staggering that the NYT reports Trump/Miller are plotting to suspend habeas corpus (i.e. end the constitution) & by the end of the day it's treated as a non-story, not anywhere near top of major news' outlets websites.

The President’s son was looking to bet on fixed fights and then made a ridiculous claim to try and cover it up and everyone just shrugged. We are morally broken.

Nothing mattered but getting a β€œdeal” for his birthday party and the Iranians knew it. Trump told his people β€œDo what you have to do to close the deal” and the price was $324 billion. It is one of the most absurd events in the history of the world.
CIA Director Ratcliffe warned Trump that U.S. intelligence raised serious doubts about Iran’s willingness to make the nuclear concessions required in any final deal, three sources say - Axios

Journalists traveling with Trump, could you please ask him to explain why his 2 page MOU is better than the JCPOA? Ask him to make explicit comparisons? Thank you.

The Iran deal was signed on Sunday. The fact that the trump Administration hasn’t released the deal language and instead is having @JDVance try to spin the deal in advance tells you all you need to know.
JD Vance admits Iran gets $300 BILLION in Trump’s β€œdeal” Hey remember when they attacked Obama for unfreezing a fraction of that to avoid the costly deadly war Trump just got us into? (H/T @FurkanGozukara)

Trump said no taxpayer money went to his UFC birthday party- then DHS classified it a Level 1 Special Event, deploying Maryland State Police, the National Guard, DC Police, and federal agents, all on the public dime, to protect an event that cost $1.5 million to attend and required a paid subscription to watch. No taxpayer money, eh @BarnettforAZ ?

Did you notice how Trump tried to surrender to Iran about 40 times before he realized that bribing them was the only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?

Tampering with the U.S. Mail is a FELONY You can't have the postal service decide what to send, and what not to send This is fucking getting out of hand
