Oh, you thought I was on your team? That's cute.

Mistrust in institutions is a HUGE problem for our country right now. The fringe wings of the political spectrum are rife with conspiracy theories. With every institutional failure, they creap inward & capture more minds. The press' coverage of Trump, Covid, yesterday, etc...

Thankful for @TheFP actually contacting sources I gave NYT and verifying I did, in fact, have friends who knew about Graham’s abuse/corroborated everything.

I never would’ve spoken out if NYT hadn’t convinced me—but even after their betrayal I’m confident I did the right thing.

Iran says it carried out a drone attack on the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

Adds that clashes are ongoing, and if they continue, "heavier responses are on the way."

A Saronic Corsair unmanned surface vessel rescued the Army AH-64 Apache crew after they crashed near the Strait of Hormuz in the waters of Oman yesterday, the first-ever rescue of downed aircrew by a drone boat -WSJ

This is extraordinary. Graham Platner's former political director making the case for why voters shouldn't elect him: "I know firsthand why Graham Platner shouldn’t be a U.S. senator"

Ukraine has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever…

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

The USS Liberty conspiracy theory asks you to accept that Israel, a nation of 2.5 million people fighting for its literal survival on six fronts simultaneously against 110 million Arabs equipped with Soviet tanks, Soviet aircraft, and Soviet warships, and with no formal American alliance, no American weapons, and no guarantee that anyone was coming to save them, is chose day four of that existential war to deliberately attack the one country on earth that might eventually become their ally, in broad daylight, in international waters, leaving 174 survivors who could identify the attacking forces, while fourteen separate investigations across two governments found zero evidence of intent, while Israel’s own military had accidentally bombed its own armored column the day before proving how catastrophically identification fails in wartime chaos, and while not a single one of the conspiracy theory’s proponents in nearly six decades of trying has ever managed to agree on what Israel was actually trying to accomplish by doing it.

Heavy lift.

🇦🇱 Arnavutluk’un kuzeyinde silahlı çatışmalar çıktı.

Halk, ülkenin tek adası olan stratejik Sazan Adası’nın Trump’ın damadına verilmesine tepkili. Günlerdir süren protestolar sonunda silahlı çatışmaya dönüştü.

Graham Platner supporter says she’s okay with the Nazi tattoo, but if he had an Israeli flag tattoo that would be a deal breaker for her because then he would support genocide.

BREAKING: A federal judge declared a $100,000 fee that President Trump imposed on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers is unlawful and must be invalidate, per Reuters

We might have our Marks plumbing truck in regards to the war in Ukraine.

How the hell does this locomotive show up in the Russian rolling stock.

[Kent D ن @KentD_II]

@WhiteHouse This is silly. Can't negotiate with Islamists. Finish the job. Death or total capitulation for them. Someone needs to get in Trump's ear and tell him he can't wish things into existence.

[Kent D ن @KentD_II]

@DastDn I don't think this was rogue. Seen reports there are US tankers in the air. Possible we even telegraphed the measured targets to Iran ahead of time.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Israeli source says that the targets were privately aligned with the U.S. to send a warning to Tehran while still giving the IRGC an out. Much harsher and direct regime targets are prepared in case the IRGC chooses to climb the escalation ladder.

A message conveying this is also being passed to Iran via 3rd parties.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

Absolutely necessary response. You cannot have a deterrence equation where a response to Hezbollah missiles results in an IRGC attack without any consequences.

The regime in Tehran must think twice before launching missiles moving forward.

@shaunmmaguire Insanity.

The President of Colombia just tweeted this

Unreal

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

Just for clarity, he means Jews.

He’s accusing Fetterman of being a “stooge” for Jews.

“But he’s means Israel!”

No, AIPAC are American Jews. If he meant Israel, he could just say Israel. But he’s got to whistle to his Nazi followers.

@RepSaraJacobs It should actually be far higher, given how badly we overused the peace dividend of the 90s.

[Ivan Miller @ivan_getsreal]

$9 billion to degrade our biggest geopolitical rival, without a single American casualty, while strengthening NATO and signaling resolve to Beijing. That’s not waste. That’s the best return on a defense dollar this century.

Radio Free Europe isn’t a Cold War relic. It’s $250 million for soft power infrastructure in a region where we’re actively losing the information war to Russia and China. Cutting it now is what losing looks like.

Pax Americana kept us wealthy and made the world more prosperous than any previous hegemony. Soft power maintained that. Walking away from soft power is walking away from the order that made America what it is.

Is that the trade you want?
