I second that emotionπππ
"Colbert chats with Brett McGurk, CNN national security analyst and former Middle East advisor to four presidents, who warns that President Trump has entered into a war without communicating clear objectives and a clear plan on how to achieve them."
Serious discussion, for a serious situation.
Well, isnβt this special?
This is a distressing story about Trumpβs attempts to impede Thomas Massieβs efforts to release the Epstein files. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Is this bad? It seems bad.
Come for a good (I thought!) discussion of the administration's many rationales and excuses ("Israel made us do it") for going to war. Stay for a very interesting report by Andrew on DOD and AI, and some reflections from both of us on the politics of AI.

Wikipedia him and look at his educational background, and then look at his estimated wealth past and present! Why do we voters allow these grifters?
FYI Markwayne Mullin is not
A war veteran and never served
Live by your words, die by your words.
Corrupt fascists love war. The distraction of death helps them evade accountability.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
Yes, but donβt forget Netanyahu!
Letβs STAND UPβΌοΈ
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
