@EODHappyCaptain I still wear them. Black Bombas for PT, black or green Darn Toughs for boots. If I’m once point where someone sees the logos on those, that’ll be the least of my worries
@Bronxborn1979@Barbara3260@AdamKinzinger Your whataboutism doesn’t change the reality that exists right now. Your chosen guy started this war, and it’s been a disaster that will irrevocably reshape the dynamics in the Middle East in Iran’s favor
Anyone who has spent more than five minutes looking at this issue or talking to abuse survivors knows that victims of domestic violence are desperate to feel safe, and they can believe (at least for some time) that appeasement works. Cooking. Sex. Professions of love. etc. All are tried to make the violence stop.
Get this man out of Congress.
This is what President Trump himself posted TODAY on Truth Social. Read the key paragraphs: Russia was trying to affect the 2020 election, “Beijing did not intend to try to affect the election.”
Pete Hegseth: the flyovers will continue
MAGA: yeah!!!! Suck it, libtards!!!!! It’s okay to love America!!!!!!!
Blue Angel pilot: I made a calculation error, did not mean to do that, and I’m very shaken up by the incident
I know I should be over it, but the speed at which the organized conservative movement became the ideological home of Marion Le Pen, Seb Gorka, Nigel Farage, Dinesh D'Souza and their ilk remains shocking to me.
@DOWResponse@DeptofWar It’s all fun and games until something goes wrong with one of these stunts and innocent bystanders end up dead. Safety regulations are in place for a reason: they’re written in blood
Marine veteran Victor Marx, whose wild claims – including saying he was forced to kill a man at age 7 – have drawn widespread attention and significant skepticism, will win the Republican nomination for governor in Colorado, CNN’s Decision Desk projects. https://t.co/mFLerJu0DJ
This is the lede of The Times report that appears to have caused federal agents to inappropriately show up with subpoenas at the homes of the numerous, highly respected journalists on the byline. 1/2
Look, I get it. I used to work on Apaches. They're cool as hell, and I promise the pilots were just as amped as the crowd.
However, safety regulations are written in blood. There's a reason they weren't supposed to fly over crowds at such a low altitude. At that altitude at that speed, if anything had gone wrong, we wouldn't be seeing people crying about how unfair it is to the pilots. We wouldn't be seeing Kegsbreath saying "we'll fix this." We'd be seeing people demanding answers about why they were flying like that. We'd be seeing crying and angry families on the news demanding justice. And we'd be seeing the Secretary of "War" throwing these pilots under the boss so fucking fast there wouldn't even be skid marks.
The timidity of the general and flag officers under Trump 2.0.
"Caine and today’s other senior brass may ultimately be remembered for their choices about when to quietly defer to civilian leadership—and when the moment demands they speak up."

@halbritz@davidfolkenflik@snlyngaas This is fucking stupid. So many more important things she could be focused on.
This also adds fuel to my theory that the new body standards for the army are purely appearance-based, and will have huge unforeseen effects if not amended
For the lay people: Bryce Harper, an athlete worth hundreds of millions, recorded a thank you clip for a Fan Duel degen gambling whale at the request of the company to keep the addict hooked
Harper btw is supposedly a devout Mormon
The lede on this NYT story is devastating. As more parents reject Vitamin K shots for their babies, docs are increasingly treating brain/abdominal hemorrhages for infants who hadn’t received the routine injection, per Maggie Astor:
@SecDuffy Sure you did.
You’re using DEI like it’s a boogeyman. Anyone with half a brain sees through your bullshit. Go back to your reality tv bs, it’s the only thing you’re remotely qualified to do
Very excited to watch the guy who's taken significant and unprecedented US government equity stakes in 20-plus private companies (so far) pretend for the next 4 months that he's the last great bulwark against creeping American communism
