Everyone ate Mexican last night

Holy hell, did you see the size of that TACO yesterday? After publicly threatening massive war crimes against Iran, the OAFPOTUS backed down last night, instead offering a two-week cease-fire and conceding that Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, the OAFPOTUS claims this was a great victory, but so does Iran—the country that has its thumb on 20% of the global petroleum trade.

As one can imagine, people here and abroad have reacted poorly:

• Brian Beutler has 25 thoughts on the humiliation of the OAFPOTUS, and a follow-up entitled "Republicans chose Armageddon over checking Trump—they just got lucky" this morning.
• Sam Kahn: "Ceasefire is a big word for backing down"
• Jennifer Rubin: "What comes from the failure to confront insanity?"
• Paul Krugman: "Ignorance and ignominy: Our Hormuz humiliation was not an accident."
• Adam Kinzinger: "We punched Iran. And then we ran."

The New York Times also has an explanation of how the OAFPOTUS got us into this mess, and it's everything we've come to expect from the demented geriatric narcissist.

And yet, that's not the only thing that happened recently:

• Since Arizona rushed implementation of Republican changes to Supplemental Nutrition Access Program (SNAP) benefits in the stupidly-named law from last fall, nearly 47% of the state's participants—including 180,000 children—have lost their food benefits.
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement has spent months harassing California resident Francisco Longoria, during which time they "lied to the public, they lied to obtain an arrest warrant, and they likely lied in both immigration and federal court."
• It took two years from the Watergate break-in before President Nixon finally resigned, but there's a model there for how to pressure the OAFPOTUS into retiring before 2029.

And finally, one of the few remaining old houses in Chicago's Sheridan Park neighborhood is headed for destruction to make way for condos. In theory, making valuable land produce more wealth by changing what's on it makes a lot of sense, but I hate to see these old houses torn down.
