PAPER PLANET: β€œWhile Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

Should we expect a spike in bone spur diagnosis’s from the millionaire and billionaire classes? Or perhaps since transgendered individuals can’t be in the US military there will be a rush for that diagnosis by the wealthy?

US orders 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to Mideast after almost 2 weeks of war The American military has ordered 2,500 Marines and an amphibious assault ship to the Middle East. That’s according to a U.S. official who spoke Friday to The Associated Press.

Mission creep and the Vietnam War through the eyes of those watching the Iran war. In Vietnam it started with just advisors, then a few thousand soldiers, then eventually 536,000+ U.S. troops. Around 58,000 U.S. soldiers died. The draft for the Vietnam War started soon after fighting escalated.

"But Trump’s preference of leaning on a tight circle of close advisers in his national security decision making had the effect of sidelining interagency debate over the potential economic fallout if Iran were to respond to US-Israeli strikes by closing the strait."

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Folks, πŸ“… 2026 primaries are coming up fast.

Check your state’s date.
Make sure you’re registered.
Make a plan to vote.

Too much is riding on people sitting this one out. Stay ready so nobody decides the future for you.

It’s probably more helpful to think of Palantir’s β€œforward deployed software engineers” as embedded private intelligence operatives.

They’re there to steal the data.

That’s why you’re required to sign an NDA before attending their death cult recruitment events.

I’m an NIH whistleblower. The scientific community cannot afford to avoid politics β€œScientists are often encouraged to avoid politics. But this advice is outdated, if it was ever correct in the first place,” writes Jenna Norton, NIH whistleblower.

Everybody should know who @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social is.
In this day and age it is more risky to keep your head down than to be the whistleblower that we needs.

Right now, being called "a radical leftist" is a badge of honor. And imperative.

Bernie Sanders just said the quiet part out loud:

"A lot of US Middle East policy is dictated by Israel. It was Israel who decided they wanted to go to war."

He exposes how Netanyahu has manipulated America into wars for 40 years, from Iraq to Iran.
