It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs NEWS via @CBSNews : U.S. intelligence assets have begun to see indications Iran is taking steps to deploy mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Iran is using smaller crafts that can carry 2 to 3 mines each. While Iran’s mine stock isn’t publicly known, estimates over the years have ranged from roughly 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines of Iranian, Chinese and Russian-made variants, @JimLaPorta reports 2:13 PM · Mar 10, 2026 · 6,060 Views
Here we go
Grok, is this a Hatch Act violation?
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Tapping the "poor areas don't vote for conservatives because they're poor, they're poor because they vote for conservatives" sign
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
there are a large number of ways in which the republican party is learning, apparently for the first time, that your adversary gets a vote
I’m a little confused because the economists on my timeline are like “oh yeah we’re facing a generational energy crisis because Trump is a madman who started a war he can’t control” while the politicians are like “it’s important to make clear we support the troops until it all blows over next week”
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
Wait, *another* one?
MAGA Stole Obama’s Playbook
How the right learned Obama’s game. And what Mamdani and Indivisible show about taking it back from the mucky mucks LIKE RAHM EMMANUEL who tossed it aside.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best
Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best
Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
So excited. I just want my in-laws to be able to buy a condo within walking distance!
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now
NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.
abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC
you have 23% among REPUBLICANS
we have at least three more years of this shit
what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1
Democrats MUST insist on a vote on an Authorization of Military Force (an AUMF) for Trump’s war in Iran.
My friend @kaine.senate.gov is leading the charge on a War Powers Resolution (WPR) that I support. But it's not a substitute for an AUMF.
1/ A 🧵on the difference. It's important.
Screenshot of an X post by Jonathan Karl reporting that President Trump said the U.S. had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in an initial attack. The quoted statement says the attack “knocked out most of the candidates” and that those previously considered are now dead.
Well this isn't good. So just let it all descend into chaos?
I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life
My lord
Claude is your FRIEND. He fights for FREEDOM
finally we're doing some game theory
