Oh, if it were only this easy.

How libertarians see election cycles

“No matter whom you vote for, you always wind up getting John McCain."-@ThomasEWoods

Libertarians asking Republicans to defend the 2nd Amendment wasn’t on my bingo card.

Thank you, @deanbphillips. The insincerity now revealed by many so-called conservatives on this point side stands in sharp contrast.

Go, Twins! 😉

That’s a scary thought. Regardless, I’d like to see independent analyses to confirm if what I’m seeing anecdotally is truly happening.

Perhaps U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should take note.

This hits extra hard now.

Well said.

You get two choices in the general election, and you’ll like it. Oof.

Even today, we learn more about how messed up this was.

This is all fascinating in light of the No Kings rally: Trump unilaterally attacking Iran without any oversight or approval from Congress would be his most obvious use of king-like powers to date. Will Congress do anything about, it though?

The Libertarian Party strongly condemns Israel’s recent military attacks on Tehran, which it has branded as “preemptive” strikes on what it claims were nuclear-related sites. Multiple reputable outlets report that explosions rocked the Iranian capital early today, and Israel has declared a nationwide emergency amid fears of a retaliatory missile and drone assault. These aggressive actions dangerously risk dragging the United States into a regional war—one that could escalate into World War III. We are alarmed by Netanyahu’s apparent competition with Zelensky to provoke conflict for political gain, with each hoping that increasing casualties will secure greater U.S. military funding. Such a tactic is reckless and inexcusable. Libertarians recognize that the Israeli lobby in Washington has long sought justification to draw the U.S. into Middle East warfare, especially with Iran. Today’s events seem designed to pave the way for that narrative. Every taxpayer dollar diverted into endless defense spending simultaneously impoverishes Americans and diminishes our national security — particularly if these provocations pull America toward nuclear brinkmanship with Iran or its allies. We reject the notion of war as a policy lever. Our philosophy upholds diplomacy, free trade, and legitimate national defense—not foreign interventionism. We call on Washington to: •Immediately distance the United States from support of further military escalation in the Middle East. •Reinforce diplomatic efforts rather than military posturing. •Reverse the erosion of civil liberties and financial health caused by war-driven budget priorities. •Cease all foreign military aide and seek an exit from all entangling military alliances and pacts. •Bar foreign lobbyists from doing business in Washington. The world teeters on the brink of a catastrophic miscalculation. Nuclear war is incompatible with freedom or prosperity. We implore Congress and the Executive Branch to pull us back from this precipice—before it is too late. Sincerely, Steven Nekhaila Chairman, Libertarian National Committee

Such sad news. And he makes a great point about how cruel and thoughtless some people have been in wake of Biden’s announcement.

Well said, @carynannharlos

When I started The DarkHorse Podcast I planned interview remarkable people who had come by their skills in surprising ways—true dark horses. Martin Mullen was the perfect example of the phenomenon, hence our use of The Marble Machine Song as the theme. Thanks to @wintergatan for letting us use it. If you haven’t seen the original marble machine video, check it out below. And give them a follow so you can enjoy more of their fantastic music and watch Martin construct the next generation of this amazing new musical instrument. It’s a beautiful tour through a gorgeous mind. And one last thing: please consider circulating this tweet so more people become aware of this hidden gem. Martin and the band do not get the credit they deserve. I’d like to change that as a small measure of my gratitude. @thedarkhorsepod

Good luck, @drscottjensen! And thank you for being a courageous voice. You’re uniquely qualified for this mission - a professional in the subject matter and a former legislator who appreciates transparency as we tackle new challenges of our day.
