lol even though they banned them the government used Claude anyway. Slop strategies for the Epic Bacon War. This could not have gone worse for Altman www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Unfolding debate between two members of Congress on going to war with Iran.

Maybe he "never--once" called Trump anti-war, but he did once base a whole piece on the notion that Trump had at one time been anti-war. I bet if I dug around I'd find even starker examples of him casting Trump as a dove. From June 2025 in the Hotlantic: www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

everyone is talking about the maga brainworms on Twitter but not enough people appreciate the schizoposting on threads

The mainstream media will be incessantly sharing the 2026 equivalent of the Firdos Square statue toppling made-for-TV videos to distract us from all the dead Iranians.

There are reports of US/Israeli strikes on or near the homes of former Iranian pres, Ahmadinejad, former reformist presidential candidate, Mir Hossein Mousavi, and various leftist activists. If the US/Israel really wanted the “people” to take back the country, they wouldn’t assassinate these folks

I guess you could say the only strategy Elbridge Colby has these days is denying himself any relevance in policy making.

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "What I trust is that if we behave precisely and act in a way that has a strong destructive impact on these countries, that we don't have to get involved in these long wars. You have to trust the process."

Gaza, south Lebanon, the West Bank, southwest Syria, this is the model that Israel wants across MENA: weak, permanently unstable, incapable of infrastructural reconstruction or administrative cohesion.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

How would you know that the attack was 1) illegal and 2) w/o clear justification?

Tbh I am disconcerted by this meeting so far. The US’s violation of the charter is red letter, blazing, clear as day. Many of the US’s allies are mentioning it in passing. I suspect they wont like what follows from signaling they are less committed to the UN charter than they are to countering Iran

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

We're turning people away (fire code) from this anti-ICE training today. New Yorkers are fired up

Reminder that if you’re in a position to organize or do community work of *any* kind today, it might enormously bolster your ability to cope

Much is wrong here. He signals to Iranian officials not to trust offers of immunity if we make them. He says we obliterated the country but will continue strikes….what will be left for the Iranians to “take back”? We killed children. Why would Iran do anything but take up arms against us?

Tillis and Cornyn are getting dog walked out of office by Trump’s party but they won’t stop kissing the foot that kicks them.

If Tillis, Murk, Collins, Massie, and Bacon wanted to stop this it would already be over.

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

Sharaa outlasted them all

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

Netanyahu's closest advisor in the media says 'Israel has fought alone on seven fronts" for the last two years. The Israelis have received over 22,000,000,000 USD in direct military assistance and has been the benefactor of direct US, EU and Arab intervention on multiple occasions.

Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling for Congress to come back to Washington immediately and vote on a war powers resolution regarding Iran.

yeah this is why Platner's going to win

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

Politicians who remember 1980 & 1994 & 2004 have never really learned to talk to the electorate that has emerged since, & it will mean tremendous generational turnover as Millennials succeed Boomers.

A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

By the way when you see reports about how Israelis are going to bomb shelters, you should keep in mind that the vast majority of Palestinian *citizens* of Israel (in the 1948 territories, not the oPT) do not have a single bomb shelter nearby due to the apartheid system Israel has implemented.

objective 1: pull the USA into a war with Iran objective 2: ok have fun bye :)

Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches. This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.

Kamala Harris promised "the most lethal military" in the world and said Iran was our greatest threat. After Israel struck Iran, Tim Walz said that we need "expand Israel and its proxies" in the VP debate. Schumer and Jeffries just worked to delay a war resolutions vote until after these strikes.

Trump wouldn't be doing this if he didn't think he'd get an approvals bump ahead of a midterm he's worried about. The fact that he's wrong about that will eclipse the baser, sordid reality that our nation kills schoolgirls because it will make a handful of old men happy, nothing more

Imagine getting on here defending a tech company that is funded by Eric Schmidt, Peter Thiel / Founders Fund, FTX, BlackRock *and* Blackstone, fucking GENERAL CATALYST *and* Lightspeed , two of the WORST of the worst firms in weapons VCs, the Qatar Investment Authority, and a LOT of other dirt.

I really hope FBI counterterrorism officials were substantively briefed on all this and had a plan in place for possible contingencies.

Buried in all of this is Scott Bessent’s announcement of US plans to steal Iranian money that people move abroad during the war. As with Venezuela, this is theft.

EAs when Elon kills several million African children: I sleep EAs when a drunk guy wants to be mean to a computer program: REAL SHIT

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

“I believe the lawless fascists who are killing American citizens in broad daylight can bring peace to the Middle East by bombing children’s schools without congressional approval.” That’s what you sound like.

Isabel Oakeshott genuinely did move there with her husband, which is doubly bad because her husband is MP for Skegness and he left the UK AFTER being elected! He apparently "splits his time" between Dubai and the UK but it seems he's not even permanently resident of the country where he's a lawmaker

The desire to visit or move to Dubai is the singular mark of someone having absolutely nothing in common with me. I do not understand what you do once you get there.

Candace Owens is doing birtherism to Erika Kirk. Not joking.

Chuck Schumer and everyone who refuses to vote him out are handing the moral high ground to the campists at PSL/ANSWER

We had an international agreement that prevented Iran from having nuclear weapons, but Trump tore it up. He's the only reason Iran is able to pursue nuclear weapons. Congress must act immediately to stop Trump from risking American lives.

Once again, Donald Trump has lied to the American people, broken the law, and risked American lives for a personal vendetta. He repeatedly promised no new wars and criticized past Presidents for starting wars without Congressional approval, but here he is, doing exactly that.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
