Um, yep, this says what needs to be said.

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out. I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

Yeah, good luck trying to convince the majority of Americans that the party who doesn’t control the presidency, senate or house is responsible for airport delays. Maybe you can give them a class on the filibuster then explain why their ICE reform request is unreasonable.

That was also true in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Lindsey wants his friends in Israel to stop bombing oil depots.

When are we going to get the results of the Pentagon investigating itself on whether they bombed a girls school while using AI?

Last July. Art of the Deal.

There are going to be Republicans running in many places who will go out of their way this October to point out to voters that they never asked for Trump’s endorsement. Susan Collins will top the list.

I’m sure Trump anticipated all of this happening and has a great plan.

It’s coming on Iran.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

This is completely unhinged

There's been an explosion at the gate of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo. Nobody was hurt. The police has searched the area and there's no other explosives. Suspects are at large and police is searching for them. It is too early to say who and why this happened. www.nrk.no/norge/eksplo...

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire. That and more in this week’s newsletter. Read! Free! www.howtoreadthisch.art/where-trumps...

Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.

What?

Geneva Convention 1977 Protocols: “It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as... drinking #water installations & supplies and irrigation works... for any other motive.”

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant. If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination. timesofoman.com/article/1691...

If Greenland had shared intelligence with Iran, a US armada would already be halfway there.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Bibi, MBS, and their allies in DC have almost convinced Trump to send American teenagers to fight and die in Iran. I can't believe in typing this sentence.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

A diabetic Norwegian woman who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told Newsweek that she feared she might die in detention as her requests for insulin were repeatedly ignored. [link] TAT: [Nationalism | Weakening civil rights]

I guess it's understandable that only the most depraved and awful people would want to join ICE.

Chicago, IL ICE abducted a US citizen when she came home from a trip to Turkey. Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi was born in Evanston, Illinois, and is being held in an ICE detention center. ICE told her family they don’t know where she is. Her iPhone pings from within the ICE building. Protests are outside.

Trump and Hegseth lying on Airforce One: Reporter: “Did the United States bomb a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people.” Trump: “Based on what I’ve seen that was done by Iran.” Reporter: “Is that true Secretary Hegseth?” 1/2

Latest Opinium poll for The Observer: The British public is twice as likely to oppose than support the US–Israeli military action against Iran.

Trump’s appetite for military adventurism and risk-taking seems undiminished and at this point I’m guessing will only be curbed by disaster.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

New Hampshire House Advances One of The Nation’s Most Extreme Transgender Bathroom Bans

Tired of unqualified hacks running the U.S. public health system? I sure am. Sometimes it feels like there is nothing we can do to fight this. But right now, we can write letters to our Senators to oppose Casey Means as Surgeon General to prevent yet another quack from gaining power.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia. Full breakdown on this and more from my Weekend Update on my Substack page: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...

Yeah, Trump's ratings are dogshit, and we haven't gotten to the part where he's the first president to ever eagerly throw millions off their health insurance. (Though the first millions have already started, which may explain some of the dogshit polls.)

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

“Iran lacks a sizable fleet of its own satellites, so even minimal help from Russia could be filling a significant intelligence shortfall.” www.wsj.com/world/russia...

The United States killed all these children last Saturday. 170 of them. Every. Single. One.

"'They say if you break it, you own it. I don’t buy that. You break it when it’s a threat,' Graham said in the Journal interview." "The senator said he was already talking with Trump about further military interventions in Lebanon and potentially Cuba" -- www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Imagine being douchey enough to say this at a gathering of nations of the Americas.

Yesterday at the AbolishICE festival a friend pointed out the guy in a "press" bulletproof vest (but no press credentials), wearing sunglasses on a rainy day, methodically scanning the crowd with his phone. Someone told me there was another on the other side of a crowd. /1

I’m rooting for this guy to crash and burn even though it will almost certainly hurt my own finances. This is not sane.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

The irony is physically painful.
