Iran is richer, their nuclear program is undeterred, the Strait will not be open soon, they’re forever inclined to close it whenever they like, the regime is not substantially weakened, and the United States’s word is mud. The worst foreign policy choices on our part in 25 years.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

I just learned that @lindacohn will be hanging it up at ESPN.

You would be hard-pressed to find a better host and professional broadcaster. Anywhere.

Thank you for so many years of excellence!

my perception of him as a player never recovered.

If your ass still thinks both sides are the same, please give us directions to your magical privilege bubble and whatnot.

1969: A Vietnam War protestor who opposed the draft said:

“If they ever make me carry a rifle, the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.”

He was charged with threatening the President.

The Supreme Court tossed the case, declaring, “political hyperbole” is free speech.

Earlier today, a convoy of 4 cruise ships ran the Strait of Hormuz at full speed, sailing under fire through the Iranian-declared minefield.

Today the world sees the gigantic balls U.S. combat search and rescue has. Extremely high risk operation we hoped we wouldn’t have to see.

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

BREAKING: 50 billionaire families have already spent over $433 MILLION influencing the 2026 midterms.

80% of the cash is going towards politicians and groups who will protect tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations.

Tax the rich.

Feed filled with reports from major outlets that Trump is about to end the war and that Trump has no intention of ending the war.

I think these administration sources are toying with reporters, possibly by coordinated design. We saw it leading up to this conflict too.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control:

TikTok

Discovery Channel
BET
Cartoon Network
Comedy Central
DC Studios
Fandango
Miramax
MTV
Nickelodeon
Paramount
PlutoTV
Showtime
TBS
The CW
TNT
Warner Bros.
And more

This is oligarchy.

[Tyler Rogoway @Aviation_Intel]

We have to come to terms with major deficiencies in air defense capacity and the stockpile of effectors. Yes, this has broken out into a big issue in the mainstream finally over the last couple of years, but it goes deeper than not enough missiles. This is a wounded Iran. Imagine what China would be like? And we have to fight an expeditionary fight, often on the run, in that theater. And the drone issue is only going to get far worse. This is an emergency, a strategic and tactical gap that is glaring, and could lose us a war. The issue is exacerbated by the timidness surrounding the messaging at the top due to strategic concerns. Our adversaries are well aware of it, so it's more about being embarrassed domestically that this problem exists, as many of these kinds of issues are. But we need a drastically different approach because we are now burning through the stockpile that was already depleted. China is watching this very closely and yes it will factor into their decision making at the highest levels, not just amongst war planners.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

Hegseth has an American flag pocket square. Of course there are far more clear and present dangers, but it was once understood that respect for the flag meant not turning it into articles of clothing.

"I will use the momentum from the worst terrorist attack in US history and false accusations of WMDs."
