“Whatever their immediate trigger, the strikes fall in line with the ideology of cowboy individualism that began to take over the Republican Party in the 1980s and which, under Trump, has turned into brutal displays of dominance.”

@firstsolar.com national poll: 70% of Republicans who voted for Trump support solar if panels are American-made, with no ties to China. bit.ly/46oLV7i If Ohio Republicans embraced solar energy, we'd generate cheap, clean energy and add permanent LOCAL jobs. Why don't they?

How can you blame him for saying that when Hegseth talks about a “holy war”? When Hegseth has Christian clergy speaking to the troops to justify the illegal mission?

“while planning the U.S. operation against Iran, the military’s top general flagged an issue with the country’s stockpile of munitions. The primary concern revolves around the U.S.’s stock of air defense interceptors critical in defending against Iran’s wave of ballistic missile drone attacks…”

Yes I agree. My Ohio Dem Rep @greglandsman.bsky.social sent an email to constituents saying how the religious leader was very bad and he was glad he was gone. But no mention of the fallout. Where embassy personnel are hiding in place and can’t leave. That students were killed because of poor intel.

This is worth stressing: Republicans who support Trump's supposed right to wage war without congressional authorization are actually relieving *themselves* of any responsibility to vote on whether Trump's vanity war is justified or in the national interest. 7/ newrepublic.com/article/2072...

Some Dems are getting this right. But Schumer and others are saying Trump must merely divulge more details about the Iran threat. This implies there might be a legitimate case for war that Trump just has to be more open about. There's zero reason to grant that. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2072...

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2072...

"He's in a real pickle." Tim Miller and Bill Kristol discuss the political consequences of the war with Iran for JD Vance.

ugh there's this guy on our news network who won't stop lying. i dunno, he just showed up when we started giving him checks every other week. no, don't go out there and contradict him, this is the news, do you wanna just hide or something?

Sugar also really messes up your brain if you eat too much because the dopamine and endorphins released activates the positive feedback loop in the brain. You will literally rewire your brain to be CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT on more and more sugar if you keep eating large amounts of it.

OpenAI has reached a "deal" with the Pentagon after the US government dropped "Claude" (Anthropic AI), because its founder Dario Amodei refused to let his AI being used by Hegseth for mass surveilance of US citizens. Of course psychopath Sam Altman, who despises us humans, would jump in.

I hope Pope Leo has something to say about this “holy war”. An attempt to get the military behind the unlawful war.

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran. Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich. Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.

HEGSETH IS BATTLING FOR THE RAPTURE.

Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape. 50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.

This kind of thing has been standard policing since Marsha P Johnson's dead body was found in the Hudson River following an argument with some transphobes and was immediately ruled a suicide and left uninvestigated by police

Gen. Paul Nakasone, ex NSA chief, says at an event that he was distressed by the rift between the Pentagon and Anthropic, including the unprecedented ban on contractors using Anthropic on security grounds: “This is not a supply-chain issue.”

Vance in 2024 on Iran

One thing you don't see over here from the bad place is MAGA world roasting JD Vance.

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

“the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” So many people are going to find out the hard way how deeply the military has bought into the Christian nationalist end times.

HAYES: “Trump’s war with Iran is illegal, reckless, and wrong. We’re only on Day 3 and it is already an indelible stain on this country.”

“PSA: BOMBING A COUNTRY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE WON’T MAKE THE EPSTEIN FILES GO AWAY ... any more than the Dow going above 50,000 will.” ~ Thomas Massie, the Kentucky libertarian

#UkrainianVIew #Iran assisted #russia in provision and modernisation of drones that are used to specifically attack civillian infrastructure and terrorise the people.

#UkrainianView That is WHY we are asking for sanctions, yes. For years already, yes. Iranian Drones sent by russia and assembled by African migrants are full of American and EU components. And until recently driven by Starlink. When these drones hit American people, maybe will they understand.

Most of these countries were USA or NATO military bases with US presence

>suggesting >possible >transfer between Iran and russia Kids, kids - we told you so. We told you it will happen when you decided to ignore russian threat. #UkrainianView

The Iowa House advanced a bill Monday that would allow farmers to disable the diesel exhaust fluid, or DEF, systems required by federal emissions laws, Cami Koons reports.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
