Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of." Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”

We've renamed the DOD the Department of War. Our troops are Warfighters. No of course we're not "at war" you dumb lib

"U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information ... say the administration’s assertions are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong." - Wall Street Journal

Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.

How cool is it that Mar-a-Lago guests can land selfies with the Sec. of State just as the US is bombing a foreign country? #bespoke

We lost 3 F-15s today.

This is a terrifyingly non-specific and opaque word salad in response to an essential question: what are our objectives? The Pentagon appears to have zero clarity on what it is doing and why. Be afraid.

deconflicting airspace is woke DEI.

In this Pentagon briefing, Hegseth, the civilian at the key node of the chain of command between the president and the combatant commanders, is mocking the press and Joe Biden in this press conference about the largest war the United States has launched in decades.

Among so many other things, it was 100% predictable that Iran would target US forces & facilities in the region if attacked. I may've missed it, but did we even order embassy families, etc. to evacuate in advance, i.e. the kind of basic save lives things we've done before?

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA. on.ft.com/4kSuQYO

It's kind of funny that as he ages, Trump looks increasingly like the Disney Hall of Presidents robot from 2017 that I'm still convinced was originally a Hillary robot that had to be hastily refashioned after the election.

The chairman of the Board of Peace bombed the Gandhi hospital. Process that.

One Special Boy alert

Tulsi Gabbard released a fundraising video in 2019 titled "Trump's Path To War With Iran" "We've gotta stop Donald Trump from starting a war with Iran."

The only reason why this argument doesn’t make sense to Ilan is because he’s— again— shown himself to be wholly ignorant of basic history. Medieval warfare in England was much more concerned with “Quelle surprise! We have taken your fort!” than some kind of roving foreign occupation of the shires.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Trump’s 2016 criticism of the Iraq war was the US didn’t do enough war crimes. He argued that the US should’ve stolen oil and killed insurgents’ innocent family members. That’s what some prominent media figures presented to the public as isolationist, anti-intervention, anti-war, “Donald the Dove.”

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

All of this.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran. Unreal.

Understatement alert

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

'The lack of any effective legal constraints on the president isn't just a problem for the balance of power & national security of the United States. It is a problem for the world...a kind of int'l authoritarianism in which the president can unleash the most powerful military in the world on a whim'

We’re all set on the diplomatic front www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Analysis | With Stephen Miller running America's domestic policy, Benjamin Netanyahu running its foreign policy, and Donald Trump heading up interior decorating and bribe-taking, the executive branch has tripled its efficiency.

40 percent of her first presidential campaign consisted of jackasses like Chris Matthews holding her husband's infidelity against her while ignoring the infidelity of multiple Republican men running for president at the same time sadly, she's used to this shit

No notes.

I'm not an antitrust law expert, maybe there's a nepo baby crony exception? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Which one is the nanny?

this has been a confusing issue with all the lawsuits and negotiating, but thankfully @maxkozlov.bsky.social breaks it down clearly. bottom line: the damage to US science is still ongoing and still immense. this is a war of attrition that requires continued vigilance

Good to see the Secretary of Defense has his priorities in order in the midst of the largest military buildup in the Middle East since the Gulf War.

Inflation is up to 3.6% year over year. This means it's up since Trump took over, and higher than where Biden held it dating back to June 2023. Trump's promise to immediately lower prices has completely failed, yet he insists it's all fixed.

No, no, this is worse. It's the second mistaken shoot down. The first one last week was CBP shooting down a balloon that closed ELP. This week it is the DOD shooting down a CBP drone.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original “arrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

NINE?????

Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Note that this would still happen if Democrats have their way and force ICE officers to have more training. Anyone not calling for an end to ICE and a dissolution of the DHS as it is supports this.
