So, to recap the Iran war
- US blew up a building full of schoolgirls
- 13 service members & many more Iranian civilians died
- global economic pain
- ending with a functional total surrender & most of the world worse off
All for a vanity war Trump promised he’d never start
while this may seem incongruous with the outcome of the Virginia court case, it actually reflects a strong ideological consistency amongst right-wing judges:
in both cases they overturned the will of the voters in order to help republicans win elections

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.
Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional
So the Supreme Court said four months was too close to the Texas primary for a lower court to block their congressional map, but one week is enough time in Alabama?
The 4-3 majority opinion is a 20-page rambling discourse on semantics drawing on Ralph Waldo Emerson and Samuel Johnson. The dissent by the Chief Justice concisely shreds it by quoting the law and VA Constitution. Four people overturned 3 million votes, and it’s 1000% political.
The pearl-clutching from Virginia republicans over this and Jay Jones is so funny. You ran on a “make these specific people’s lives worse” campaign, got elected and did that, ruining lives and careers of your neighbors, and now you’re shocked they don’t like you.
Minneapolis protester: Where do you draw the line? How many of my neighbors have to die? How many of us have to be slain in the street by our government? This is the United States of America, where people are being shot and killed by the federal government.
This killing is even worse than the last. Brutal violence and execution. And just doubling down of lies and false defence by the administration
At this point business leaders need to speak up. We need comprehensive immigration reform, passed by Congress, and cannot give an incompetent executive branch any more leeway to screw up
The Purple Heart recipient says federal agents detained him for about eight hours after he watched an ICE arrest from a Minneapolis sidewalk -> https://t.co/5jS6sJZkQ9
the coal stuff is so embarrassing, honestly.
it would be one thing if it was natural gas which is currently pretty economical even if it’s a fossil fuel. but instead they’re pushing coal which simply is not even cost competitive
it’s just vice signaling as energy policy
Shutting down wind farms that are nearly complete makes absolutely no sense. This irrational hostility toward solar, wind, and battery storage is increasing already high electricity rates. We need more energy fueled by the cheapest sources to keep utility bills affordable. https://t.co/LuA0rplVbP
