The U.S. Navy has hit their recruiting goals three months ahead of schedule this year, per a release from U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Acting Naval Secretary Hung Cao. 45,000 new sailors were recruited.

Following his announcement that the resumption of combat operations against Iran would be postponed, U.S. President Donald J. Trump told the press today that Gulf leaders from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar asked him to postpone strikes for “2 or 3 days,” and he agreed. It’s yet unclear if this is a hard timeline for negotiations to play out.

Wow, this means that the satellite images previously seen showing burn marks and damaged aircraft on the tarmac at Prince Sultan didn’t even include the E-3, suggesting that at least one other aircraft, likely a KC-135 Stratotanker, was indeed destroyed in the attack by Iran.

The U.S. Air Force and Navy continue to carry out strikes against Iranian ballistic missile launchers in support of Operation Epic Fury, with several new strikes seen in footage released this morning by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).

Ukrainian channels confirm that an Su-34 Fighter-Bomber with the Russian Air Force was downed by Ukraine today over the Black Sea, resulting in the death of both aviators, with the aircraft said to have been shot down off the coast of the Odesa Oblast.

It takes 6.75 hours to get from Boston to D.C. by train, but we could easily do that in four. Imagine how much better economically it would be if you could get from NYC to Boston in two hours.

In recent days Jamaica has been struck by #HurricaneMelissa, which is currently sweeping across Cuba with devastating force. Thousands of people have been displaced, and there is severe damage to homes and infrastructure. Let us #PrayTogether for those who have lost their lives, for those who are fleeing and for those who are experiencing a period of anxiety and concern. I thank the civil authorities, Christian communities and voluntary organisations for the relief they are providing.

For years I have been a ronin, defending freedom of speech by calling things gay on podcasts but now, I pledge my microphone— my sacred weapon— to defend the first amendment. Jimmy Kimmel get behind me, I will protect you.

“I would travel with Jerry Garcia to the tombs of Sakkara and the ancient city of Memphis, wander around the pyramids with Bob Weir, bump into Ken Kesey… I followed bundles of cables towards and into the Great Pyramid where, deep inside the King’s Chamber, off duty promoter Bill Graham offered the production crew technical advice… The first night’s performance had overloaded the local power grid and the locals were upset, but the Dead’s production crew were having none of it… This elaborate complex of audio equipment set up at the centre of the pyramid would provide the echo FX for the concerts, especially on the big night, eclipse night, when this tomb-embedded technology was due to assist the ancient gods with the task of levitating the Pyramid on cue… The big day was the 16th, the final concert, the much-anticipated finale… This miraculous final show climaxed at the precise moment of a total lunar eclipse…’I was a little disappointed that the Pyramids didn’t levitate,’ I said.  ‘You weren’t paying attention,’ [Jerry] replied.” - Adrian Boot

Violence we have suffered cannot be erased, but when we grant forgiveness to those who offend us, we experience a foretaste of the Kingdom of God on earth. It is the fruit of God’s work that puts an end to evil.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
