Thoroughly enjoyable evisceration of Ms Noem, with the cherry on top being the transcription of her name as Miss Gnome and Miss No.
This is beyond just THAAD. The AN/FPS-132 in Qatar serves the same role as US installations at Clear, Beale, Cape Cod, Flyingdales, and Thule. They're not just missiles for one AD system, they're the eyes of the greater Gulf missile and air defense shield.
I think it would be fair to say that I have been justifiably critical of Keir Starmer many times, but the moral courage he has shown to stand up to the U.S deserves praise.
“We don’t believe in regime change from the skies” is a blistering riposte to Trump.
Yes, please.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Say what you like about Noem and Lewandowski, but they have been “been very effective in driving [President Donald] Trump’s ratings into the ditch”, so every cloud...
Magnificent from Maddow.
I can see no mocking of anyone, trans or not, in these posts. Disgraceful.
Iran, while authoritarian, is not a strongman dictatorship. It has an elected parliament that is not a duma; it has an elected president; the clerical leader is elected by a specialized body. Decapitation is unlikely to bring it down
If you have not run across the PDR, treat yourself.

Ignoring the Equality Act is profoundly unserious.
The horses could join a Mongolian throat singing ensemble.
Schadenfreude is undervalued.
Developers want to build three massive tower blocks - up to 26 storeys high - overshadowing Bacton Low-Rise Estate, Queens Crescent and West Kentish Town. Bacton Towers Action is a group of residents campaigning for a better outcome. Website: bactontowersaction.org
'First, do no harm' is just so Old School.
Mad as a box of frogs.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith, June 1, 1950: “Freedom of speech [..] has been abused by some, and therefore is no longer exercised by others. [..]
“I do not want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny: Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.”
I'm having second thoughts here... Please, Lord, don't give me the confidence of the mediocre man.
The world's greatest leader atm - President Zelenskyy
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
The Vicar of Bray springs to mind...
I just resent that he wrote that first. It coulda been me...
In this entire piece there is not a hint of even a semblance of a legal argument for how a war of this scale would be legal or authorized.
There is quite simply no legal or constitutional authority for Trump to launch a war of choice against Iran.
None. Zero. Nothing.
Magnificent, as ever, with every sentence quotable.
So 12 groups are closing or considering closure. Probably under pressure from males with trans identities on committees. Meanwhile the rest of 7000 groups are probably delighted. I'm sure the WI will survive. Speaking as a former Head of Sport at the NFWI. It's an organisation for women. That's it.
