@SecretaryBurgum Hey, quick fyi - this looks like shit and we’re going to scrape it off as soon as you losers are gone. Enjoy the waste I guess?

A guy in sandals is gonna kill everyone in this picture.

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

This story details the enormous damage Iran inflicted on US military installations in the Middle East. But incredibly the Post had to rely on IRANIAN IMAGERY to report it out because Trump is blocking commercial satellite images. Why? Not to fool Iran - just American citizens.

Gerrymandering is undemocratic and evil.

And it's essential the party that has repeatedly tried to ban it keeps doing it until the party that historically abused it gets curb stomped so badly they cry uncle and agree to the ban.

These are not contradictory positions to hold.

[A-100 gecs @PinstripeBungle]

there's a level of democratic backsliding with a weak opposition party lower than "ah, surely the judiciary will stop him" and it is "our hope is that now the army steps in"

It’s important to remember that it will not be this cretin who would be committing the atrocity he’s threatening. That would be military personnel, especially pilots, doing all the actual killing. A lot of people would need to mindlessly follow his orders. The world is watching

@ryangrim That’s some absolutely brutal math. Trading Patriots for Shaheds was bad enough

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war.

The stupidest war in history.

Tell me you’ve never been to Maine, except maybe as a summer tourist, without telling me you’ve never been to Maine.

On a bunch socio-economic indicators (main exceptions: education and religiosity), most of Maine looks more like Appalachia than it does Southern New England.

@MarkAmesExiled @morologuses Why do they feel the need to do this? It sounds strange for an American politician to say they “revere” any foreign nation, even if it’s one they have a deep family connection to…which he doesn’t.

@prem_thakker @mehdirhasan @JoaquinCastrotx This has to be the weirdest taboo in the world. I can sort of get why Israel might want to keep their nuclear status ambiguous, but it’s crazy that Americans are expected to participate in the deception.

@PinstripeBungle @SaurabhJoshi I assume that’s where the always-reliable V-22 Osprey comes in - the Marines haven’t gotten tired of shoveling souls into that monstrosity yet

[Jake Oldenburg @JacobOldenburg]

@HeerJeet Or premature babies.

[Jake Oldenburg @JacobOldenburg]

@PinstripeBungle 100% this is the answer

[Jake Oldenburg @JacobOldenburg]

@Osinttechnical Spoiler dude: I think they’re gonna keep doing that.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The Israeli army flattened Gaza & massacred 100,000 people, egged on by the people of Israel, many of whom told pollsters they didn’t want to see Palestinians in conquered cities left alive.

There was no need for random revenge attacks. There was a state-backed revenge campaign

Imagine if WWIII starts with the IDF assassinating Franz Ferdinand.

@jonfavs It gets worse! The Iranian government also gets a vote
