The Defense Intelligence Agency put out their "Iran Military Power" assessment in 2019 and Iran has been doing exactly what this assessment said they would do, down to the SAMs that were the precursors to Iran's passive IR and electro-optical tracked Khordad-15 and AD-08 Majid systems.

A guide to the US aircraft shot down over Iran. By me, no paywall. fallows.substack.com/p/your-score...

Our sons & daughters are getting shot down and killed in Iran Americans are going into debt paying for gas, groceries & healthcare And today tone deaf Melania Trump posted a video about invitations, flowers, china & ballrooms BILLIONAIRE EPSTEIN CLASS TRUMPS ARE OUT OF TOUCH!!

The producers defining nearly getting their lead seriously injured or killed leading to crew walking off because-you know-facilitating Ben Shapiro's tax haven isn't worth dying over "Communism" is objectively hilarious Majors got the life he so richly deserves

NYT dresses up perennial headline with bold claim thatTrump’s war in Iran involves strategy

This appears to have been written by a 4th grader

ORACLE'S LARRY ELLISON: “Citizens will be on their best behavior” with AI surveillance systems "We're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on." Welcome to the dystopian AI surveillance state. @NicHulscher

Double-tap strikes are acts of terrorism. Democrats should investigate whether or not the allegation is true. If it's not, that's great. But if it is, they should find out who ordered it and who executed it so they may be prosecuted during the next administration.

Pete Hegseth publicly promised to execute Iranian prisoners of war. If that’s what happens to these American pilots, he will share the blame

There’s currently a frantic search taking place for two US pilots who were shot down in Iran, and this idiot is talking about taking the oil.

The HC-130, HH-60, and A-10 crews who went in during the day, so that others may live, will never buy a drink again in the presence of fighter pilots.

Trump plans to spend more than $377 million renovating the White House executive residence in fiscal year 2026 — and is estimating another $174 million on top of it for the next year. That’s a mammoth 866 percent increase over the $39 million estimated to have been spent in fiscal year 2025. 💰💰💰💰

This article is from 2024 but it's a reminder of just how awful the Atlantic has been. This week it was blaming liberals for defending humane immigration, in the past it was ... Kissinger whitewashing? Just seems like one L after another. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-wor...

What we know about today, Friday, April 3 2026 - a bad day for Trump: Iran shot down a US F-15 and an A-10 and damaged two US helicopters today? One of the pilots of the F-15 is still missing. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Getting pretty concerned about this second F-15 pilot. Hopefully they make it out safely, but it looks like Iranian forces are doing a pretty good job repelling search and rescue so far. Unclear if A-10 was shot down during CSAR, but one UH-60 was definitely damaged.

Combat losses/battle damage *today* 1 F-15 (loss) 1 F-15 pilot (recovered) 1 F-15 WSO (MIA) 1 A-10 (damaged) 1 A-10 pilot (recovered) 2 HH-60s (damaged)

The President wants to feed your future into a meat grinder

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

Some really bad combos happening here. Not learning from the mistakes we made in OIF/OEF, not revising our COIN strategy (despite COIN guys like me begging), combined with a SecDef who thinks winning a war means having the veiniest penis. Hell we even named this one OEF again.

Trump is engaged in a racist re-engineering of the United States (some call it an "ethnic cleansing").

Just want to point out that Jimmy Carter used the term “undocumented” as President in the late 1970s. It’s not some newfangled woke activist term.

ICE has released details on "collateral" arrests for the first time, through data obtained by @deportationdata.org. In NYC, more than 800 since August were deemed "collateral," about a quarter of arrests. reporting w/ @haidee.bsky.social for @thecity.nyc www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/02/i...

Tens of thousands of people eagerly downloaded the leaked Claude Code source code this week, and hundreds - if not more - of those downloads came with a side of credential-stealing malware.

Of all the things Trump guys say, this is one of the most sympathetic. Who hasn’t looked up from their plate at Waffle House and asked: how did I get here?

They re-wrote the headline, and it's even better. "No One at Waffle House Remembers FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported In" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

I dunno man, I think you may be missing it here. This is one of the greatest headlines ever written.

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

So, the self-styled Department of War, based in the Pentagon, has its own “chapel” with a capacity of at least 3500 persons. And they are spending Good Friday stoking division between different parts of the Christian faith.

Unsurprisingly, Ben Shapiro's new film unit is a union busting operation endangering the lives of crew workers. deadline.com/2026/04/jona...

Chaos is unfolding in the Iran war after multiple US aircraft crashes were reported Friday, as an urgent search-and-rescue mission continues for a downed American pilot behind enemy lines.

The F-15E pilot downed over Iran is alive, in US hands, and receiving medical treatment. The search for the WSO is still ongoing.-CNN

Locals in Iran are searching for the missing pilot.

I don't know their names. But I know exactly who they are. A pilot and a WSO are on the ground in Iran today. I wrote about what that means — and why America doesn't leave its people behind. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
