It's a link to another site with the cartoon, and you should go there and read the whole cartoon. The whole cartoon. Yes, this is us. 🥵

Oh my God. What an absolute fiasco

Fabulous. 😄😄 And btw not everyone in the world knows that it's Helen.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Cartoon by Matt Davies | Andrews McMeel °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° It has been an expensive few weeks for the United States.

Morning Bluesky.

Trump's the best ever president because he's won the Iran war 7 times in just 10 days. No other president has won one war 7 times.

1/8🧵 #US #Europe Excerpt's from OBrien's weekly👇 Remember the false narrative of 'Strong #Russia Weak #Ukraine' from 1 year ago? The reality is starting to sink in; Ukraine is stronger, and European security is dependent on Ukraine, not the other way around. ⤵️

Dear America, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PRESIDENT AND YOUR FECKLESS GOVERNMENT! WHY SHOULD EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER BECAUSE OF THIS INSANITY? Signed, Most of the rest of the planet

Ukrainian war veteran Kristina Sanina and 2004 World’s Strongest Man champion Vasyl Virastyuk walked the runway at Ukrainian Fashion Week, taking part in the show as models. Their appearance became a symbolic moment highlighting the strength, resilience, and recognition of Ukrainian veterans 💙💛

Some strikes hit deeper than one night. Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed a strike on the Kremniy El plant in Bryansk, which makes microchips for Russia’s ballistic, cruise, and anti-aircraft missiles. Ukraine also struck the Maykop military airfield in Adygea.

😱😱😱🤦🏼‍♀️

Amid discussions on TODAY's call to evacuate, this story from Wednesday did not get enough attention. abcnews.com/Internationa...

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

People keep saying Trump lied throughout his 2024 election campaign. I think he predicted the future.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

This will be good.

To #RejectionIsland, to rescue an unused cartoon.

Here’s how you save the war: Enter a joint venture with Ukraine build as much counter drone stuff as they can, give Ukraine as much as they need to press Russia on the battlefield, and knockout Iran and Russia at the same time Or retreat in a worse place than we started

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Isn't it disheartening - two major wars cannot end because the two brickheads who started them - cannot find a way to somewhat reasonably "declare victory" not to lose face over their stupid decisions.

The US has burned through over 1,000 Patriot interceptors ($4 million each) to stop an onslaught of Iranian drones ($20k to $50k each). Using my last gift link from Bloomberg, which is doing some of the best reporting anywhere on the war. 🎁 🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I have a secret I’m not sharing anywhere else but here for now: we are finally in a place financially where I can quit my 3 jobs and just write books. I’ve been working toward this goal for over a decade and I cannot wait. ❤️

You might not like hearing this, but the Iranian ship was a legitimate military target. But my argument all along has been that blowing it up was more like showing off than anything that made military sense. Well-treated Iranian POWs would have hurt the regime more than a sunken frigate.

The orange felon made sure to lower US flags to half-staff for fascist propagandist podcaster Charlie Kirk but not for civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson or the 6 soldiers he killed with his war in Iran.

Oh thank heavens. I had started to think everyone wanted series.

“This is not a war that has been thought through at all.” — Bernard Haykel, professor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton This interview is very much worth your time. (And that’s a gift link ⤵️) www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Watching the West defend the Middle East against Iran’s drones reveals a sickening double standard. Ukrainians have endured years of Russian missiles and shaheds with heavily restricted strike capabilities and insufficient air defense. Why the hesitation to defend Kyiv?

One big reason I know Bsky has been 10× better than Twitter for me is that the algorithm on Twitter basically did nothing for my work. Since moving, I can name at least 10 artists who’ve I once followed who have discovered my art.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far: 🤣 🖕 👌 👎

This sounds exactly like a rugpull: - hype the value of SpaceX/xAI to stratospheric heights - focus on retail investors (aka mugs) - push inclusion in indexes to ensure compulsory stock purchases - cash in and leave everyone holding the bag

Keeper of the Flame - A film from 1942 warning Americans how democracy can be dismantled from the inside. This scene was written during World War II. Watch how calmly the plan is explained. Ask yourself why it still feels current today.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

Epstein was reportedly very close with Mossad. It’s almost certain they have the Files. And it’s a high chance that Netanyahu has used them to blackmail Trump into attacking Iran.

realizing that the coverage of the afghan withdrawal means that the media will turn this in to a liability for whatever dem ends it when it becomes a quagmire

Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.

Did you know the lb in reference for pound comes from the Latin word "libra", which meant scales or balance (like the zodiac sign). Romans used "libra pondo" for "pound by weight" So that's something you know now.

Bahahaha. 😁😏 #DJT #DJ6T #FDJ6T #PantsOnFireDJ6T

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
