Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
The core problem is that literally 50% of the water is diverted to make comically tiny profits of, like, a few hundred million dollars, so trillions of actual economic activity gets held hostage by some clown who bought land in 1872. Put a market price on water and the problem is instantly fixed.
...and less than an hour after that, the Israeli military: war is "far from over"
4 days of horrible smog in London (8m population at that time in 1952) led to 12k deaths and dramatic legislation changes for clean air act. This Tehran situation (oil/refinery fire) has to be an order of magnitude worse in terms of loss of life.
Ugh…
Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC X.com The American Embassy is being evacuated in Riyadh because of sustained attacks by Iran against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is my understanding the Kingdom refuses to use their capable military as a part of an effort to end the barbaric and terrorist Iranian regime who has terrorized the region and killed 7 Americans. Question - why should America do a defense agreement with a country like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that is unwilling to join a fight of mutual interest? Americans are dying and the U.S. is spending billions to dislodge the terrorist Iranian regime that threatens the region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia seems to be issuing statements and doing things in the background that are marginally helpful, but unwilling to participate in military operations to end the reign of terror coming out of Iran. Hopefully Gulf Cooperation Council countries will get more involved as this fight is in their backyard. If you are not willing to use your military now, when are you willing to use it? Hopefully this changes soon. If not, consequences will follow.
1. Is Lindsey Graham the U.S. Secretary of State now?
Is he coordinating these threats against a U.S. ally with the White House?
Now he is demanding that a top U.S. ally enter a regime-change war?
And then threatening, “Hopefully this changes soon… if not, consequences will follow.”
Spotted in Nashville this week…
We are going to try to make a 100m population country a failed state … aren’t we?
This is a tough timeline. :(
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
"Meanwhile, Israel's military goals likely are to replicate the Gaza model: detach any resistance from the society it blends into, flatten the areas thus depopulated, occupy large chunks of the latter, and create a situation of permanent displacement on a massive scale."

"According to the…annual Harris Poll, for the 1st time, a majority of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to democracy. A remarkable 71% believe there should be a wealth tax. A majority believe there should be a cap on how much wealth a person can accumulate." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/o...
A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet.
This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
i'll give brennan some credit here for a question that's sharper than it looks like, because cruz ends up spelling the whole thing out for us
So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."
cheering for bombs to hit cities is beyond the pale as always and I won't do it here, but it's fascinating seeing people expecting something like a fireworks show realize that their "iron dome" is as much theatre as it is real protection.
In 2019, federal prosecutors asked NM officials to stop investigating the Epstein ranch, claiming they would share info with local authorities. Local investigators handed all their evidence to the feds, who shared...nothing. www.abqjournal.com/news/feds-as...
“.. The attack came despite U.S. intelligence assessments that Iran’s forces were unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the U.S. mainland within the next decade.”

I do think this is important- in the “cross the rubicon” sense. I think his notes on threads 2-3 also give good context. This is new/unique and I think putting morality and international law aside, might have further reaching ramifications than we may think at first.
This is all very good and not concerning.
When I see governments acting rationally, I’m always stunned… which is a bad sign.
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
Anyone know of a public company way to play the upcoming supply shortage of pitchforks?
This shit is insane. Every week like 5-6 absolute constitutional crisis or government impeachment level offenses.
Ring really invented this technology from the Dark Knight, ignored all of the messages from the movie about why it’s a bad idea, and then made a Super Bowl ad about it.
Truly incredible marketing self own.
DHS is being more aggressive than ever targeting anonymous social media accounts that have spoken out against ICE, asking Big Tech to hand over information on users without signed judicial warrants

“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”
There's got to be a lot more accountability for a lot more people in Epstein's world. That's why I'm not letting up on my follow the money investigation.
where are the "free speech" warriors now www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...
Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.
