Look at that Afghanistan number...
Full disclosure: I met with the minority staffers and helped strategize and explained the history.
Ilan is taking his historical fiction on the road. Itβs amazing what sloppy and methodless historical scholarship can do for oneβs career.
Oh ffs ...
This 3rd grade science experiment made it to the FCC?
Time to voice up over this.
Read the thread and tell your government what you think before it's too late.
The Con Trump Used to Attempt to Hide How He's Rewarding Russia for Helping Iran Target Americans

Most liberals have no idea that the NY Times is a problem. Liberal/Dem leaders rarely criticize the Times (or any media) so people assume itβs okay. We have a serious media literacy problem on the left.
EIGHT DOLLARS A GALLON.
Downtown Los Angeles.
Today.
Trump promised to lower gas prices on Day 1. Instead he started a war with Iran and gas in LA just topped $8.
This is sticker shock. This is his fault.

SCOOP: In August, Ukraine tried to sell battle-proven tech for downing Iranian drones β & made a PowerPoint showing how it could protect US & its allies in a war
But the Trump adm dismissed it until now

These people gain power from our silence, fear, learned helplessness, complacency, hopelessness, habit.
They are sure of it, depend on it
Fighting them is scary. Some can. Start with encouraging yourself and others to speak up.
BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris.
Their zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too.
Unbelievable harm to our collective security.

The U.S. cost of the war in Iran has surpassed $10 billion so far β and counting.
I need to double-check whether that figure includes the cost of repositioning all of those military assets to the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.
That alone ran into the hundreds of millions.
Trump started a war with Iran. Oil prices exploded. Now YOU pay more for gas, groceries, flights & heat.
He called it βa small price to pay.β
Easy when you donβt pay your own bills.

Impressive that US democracy has managed to replicate the "king so bad in a medieval chronicle you wonder if they're real or a symbolic trope for misrule" effect

Example of how question wording can distort inferences. Figure suggests conspiracists quite likely to endorse political violence.
Conspiracy is summed "Trues" to a set of specific conspiracy beliefs.
Political violence is "agree."
Common to both? Acquiescence.

"Trump chose to go to war and has taken explicit satisfaction in his power of life and death. War is a grave step after all other options have been exhausted. That Trump had other courses of action is well known. That he preferred this one is hard to unsee." My column. www.ft.com/content/2f3e...
ICYMI, @thecoalition.bsky.social @knightcolumbia.org & @protectdemocracy.org filed a new First Amendment lawsuit earlier today challenging the Trump admin's denial of visas to tech researchers, tech workers, fact-checkers. Here's a post explaining why we're suing. mailchi.mp/knightcolumb...

In 1974, an Internal Revenue Service attorney named Paul Haring pitched an idea to Catholic leaders that would shape the lives of millions of women for the next half-century.
The Hyde Amendment is a ban on federal Medicaid funding of abortion that will mark its 50th anniversary this year.
βI never want to end up in a position where Iβm one of the NingyΕzukai manipulating the arms and legs of this puppet that frankly hasnβt been relevant since the early 17th century,β said the Marty Supreme star
Perhaps the real feeling is that nothing feels very grounded. Everything feels like it can be manipulated/uprooted. That there are very few consequences and whatever happens, no matter how bad, it will be buried in an avalanche of the next thing that is happening. Too much, too fast and no rules
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
She is absolutely right.
This Court is majority corrupt, and the six of them deserve prison for enabling treason and sedition.
The high-profile exit left people inside and outside the network eager to understand the backstory. So what happened? Multiple people familiar with the matter told Status that MacFarlane had grown disillusioned with the overall direction of the network under the anti-woke warrior Weiss, who since being appointed by David Ellison in October has sought to put the venerable news outlet on better footing with Donald Trump and his administration. Specifically, MacFarlane was appalled and disheartened by the way the βCBS Evening Newsβ marked the five-year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection. At CBS News, MacFarlane had spent years aggressively covering the attack on the U.S. Capitol. In fact, as recently as Monday morning, as he prepared to make his career announcement, he posted a video on YouTube calling out MAGA forces trying to βrewrite the historyβ of that day by disseminating βlies.β So when MacFarlane saw anchor Tony Dokoupil mark the anniversary with only a 16-second report that embraced a both sides approach to the act of violence carried out by Trump supporters on that day, he was aghast. Itβs not clear whether MacFarlane made his disapproval known to Dokoupil or network leadership, but he did communicate it to some colleagues, and it became known inside the network.
Sounds like that infamous 'both sides of Jan6th' news clip was the tipping point for CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarland. He's the latest journalist to flee Bari Weiss' Trump-friendly operation.

you rubes. you complete and utter fools. anyone with a brain can see this is a multidimensional, metaphysical conflict. a conceptual battlefield. we've only barely begun to end the start of this thing.
The war that is not a war that is just getting started and might last until September is pretty much done and weβre also going to seize a strait we donβt control and maybe kill more leaders if we donβt like them
