I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

Also worth noting that Iranian drone attacks have actually increased. Less punch and less range than their ballistic missiles, no doubt, but still dangerous and source of costly uncertainty in the region.

Intel report warns large-scale war ‘unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign.

“A classified report by the National Intelligence Council found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republic’s entrenched military and clerical establishment.”

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Virginia passes legislation prohibiting schools from teaching falsehoods about Jan. 6 riot The bill passed by the Virginia legislature prohibits schools from teaching what it considers to be falsehoods about the U.S. Capitol riot, including portraying it "as peaceful protest."

"Oil prices are up about 50%. You should expect gas prices to rise about 50%... Gas... about $3 a gallon... you should therefore expect gas to be a bit above $4 a gallon...

So if you get an opportunity to stop by the president's gas station when he's seeing it at $2 a gallon... definitely fill up "

If governors opt in, tax dollars will go toward private school tuition for children, something many Democrats are uncomfortable with.

But if they say no, their states will lose out on federal cash that could help public school students, too. https://wapo.st/4uczHZB

Every American should be uncomfortable with this.

Trump vows to hit ‘very hard’ after Iran’s president says he won’t surrender

Really important piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social here, laying out the cascading series of failures that are driving the Trump administration to disaster

In an article in the Atlantic, Vivian Salama and Jonathan Lemire argue that Trump is not making any claims on Iranian oil and gas. But that's not quite true, is it?

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

"Senior Republicans privately expect Trump's administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war."
