DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Iranian government agency says at least 1,230 people have been killed in the war.

I think the Iranians have been blowing up $1 billion of equipment each day.

A lot seems to be happening tonight.

I now feel confident in reporting that an F-15E Strike Eagle with the USAF crashed early Wednesday during a strike mission over SW Iran. Both the Pilot and Weapon Systems Officer successfully ejected over Iran.

In the resulting CSAR operation, both crew were safely evacuated.

The long-term X-ray light curve and spectral evolution of the bright x-ray object EP250702a.

The mystery object was extremely luminous, flared, and then faded within three weeks (graph below). All of that is consistent with a catastrophic encounter between small, dense star & a mysterious in-between black hole, hundreds or thousands of times the mass of the Sun. 🧪🔭

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

That was not an errant AD counter-missile.

Satellite images show Iran school strike hit more buildings than earlier reported The images suggest that precision munitions struck other buildings, including a clinic that was also inside the complex.

After his recent presser in Washington with Trump, I see no reason to pay any attention to anything he says.

If he said it was sunny outside, I'd look for my umbrella.

And it is good at it.

Talarico’s Win in Texas Shows That Nice Guys Can Finish First

Texas Democrats pick a Presbyterian minister for the US Senate. Was it predestined?

The Soviet rescue of Afghanistan was at the invitation of the then internationally recognized government.

I do not support the death penalty generally (I don't like the idea of the state having the power to murder citizens in cold blood), but traditionally the way states have ensured that executive officers actually consult who they are suppose to consult is by hanging or beheading a few that don't.

I think there’s a very good case that the death penalty should be abolished except for crimes in high office. The sword of Damocles and all that.

And it worked, too, as much as the family of Admiral Byng is still fighting it.

As scheduled, suborbital LAUNCH of Minuteman 3 ICBM operational test flight GT255GM ( with dummy warhead) from Vandenberg to Kwajalein at 0701 UTC Mar 4.
To head off the usual uninformed comments: these GT test launches are planned long in advance, are not related to current events.

Return of the (space) SPAC Former investment banker Raphael Roettgen had to abandon a space-focused special purpose acquisition company in 2022 as hype around mergers with blank-check shell companies turned radioactive. Four years later, he’s back after helping raise more than $200 million to take a private space company public. SPACs raise cash on the stock market and then use it to merge with a private firm, offering investors an early stake in a future listing while giving that business a faster, more flexible alternative to a traditional initial public offering.

That is of course deliberate - voter suppression by the rebate effect.

Don't be surprised to find that they focus group tested it.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

The US does not have an official position, or an unofficial one either, as far as I can tell.

Hypocrisy of Roberts Court is astounding: they’re inventing one set of rules to uphold gerrymandered maps that benefit white voters & Republicans in states like Texas while using a completely different set of rules to strike down maps that benefit racial minorities & Democrats

If this turns into a Shia uprising around the Middle East I'm guessing the 4-5 week timeline is a bit off.

And if it is the pilot will be lucky if all he gets is fired.
