It's now obvious that the regime was comically unprepared for the possibility that Iran would fight back. In fairness, they're used to dealing with the Democrats.
Starving DoD of funds won't end the war, at least not without utterly breaking DoD
Congressional means to end the war is using leverage to force war powers votes, not refusing to fund DoD, period
The supplemental isn't about magically fixing things in 6 months, there's portions of the deterrent posture we've kneecapped that'll take at least 3-4 years to recover from, and that's only going to get worse the longer this stupid thing goes on

My gut reaction to this quote is "Their datacenters exist in physical space that can be located on a map and are not heavily fortified"
Every company should be responsible for the entire life cycle period
And if we burned down all the houses, the arson rate would "go down." Except for all the houses we burned down.
People like this have a very unclear concept of "crime."
This is the monsters they are trying to jam through. We must take back Congress this fall.

"Fraud is a distinct problem. But outside of that, banks would do well to butt out of what people spend money on.
"Let people buy their smut and their sex toys. Let people sell dissident literature."
"Banks are not governments. It's important that they neither become merely an arm of a political faction, nor arrogate to themselves governing authority.
'Institutions like Visa and Patreon have near-monopoly power. That power should be not be abused nor used arbitrarily.
I wrote a little thing.
You don't have to be good at legalese! Just tell them what you want, which is for banks and payment processors to process your payment and stay the fuck out of your business
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money

Michigan’s red flag law is saving lives. The law was used more than 400 times last year to remove guns from those who were a risk to themselves or others—a 31% increase from 2024.
Michiganders are safer because of it.
Nothing received in 3 hours. Am hoping for some movement within the next 1-2 hours so I can go somewhere today. I also have an appointment tomorrow at a new mental health clinic but will probably reschedule because no transportation! 🤷♀️ 💕💸
This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.
Hmmm 🤔
OpenAI lost 1.5 million subscribers in 48 hours, after agreeing to let the Department of Defense use its AI on classified government network.
This will manifest in other states' domestic politics similarly to Dem opposition to Trump in the US, with the left-right axis replaced by the fight-cave axis.
For now, sunk costs and potential reprisals make balancing against the US too risky. But as the costs of caving rise, that will change.

Damn they sure love bombing hospitals, are Hamas in tunnels there too (something never proved)
AIPAC is a reactionary Christian imperialist organization, isn't it?
Female athletes must pay £185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay £185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this year’s World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, “as soon as possible to avoid delays around selection”. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost £32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last month’s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from £22.18 million to £20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of £107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.
"Feminism" [Times]
Wars are extremely hard things to justify. It is intrinsic to what they are that they tend to death, destruction, and misery. Given this and some knowledge of history, one's default attitude towards powerful people purporting to do the world some great benefit by war should be extreme scepticism.
My wife told me that people not consuming a consistent diet of literature is why they struggle with empathy & putting themselves in the shoes of others & now I see it in everything.
Nothing surprising about this guy beating his chest & proudly proclaiming that he doesn’t read though.
No shit man.
Probably not going to get the traction it deserves but it’s insane 1. Stephen Miller is giving dod press conferences and 2. explicitly saying the us policy towards the irgc will be war crimes
