Not even the NY Post can shine this turd. Meanwhile, the Iran War costs $1B a day.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

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.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Oh, I’m sure we’ll find something once we invade. Some yellowcake uranium maybe. Some massively destructive weapon.

Vali Nasr, an expert of Iran and Shia Islam at Johns Hopkins University, said that Mojatba Khamenei would be a surprising choice β€” and a potentially telling one.

β€œHe was slated to become the successor for a long time,” Mr. Nasr said, β€œbut for the past two years, it seemed to have dropped off from the radar. If he is elected, it suggests it is a much more hard-line Revolutionary Guard side of the regime that is now in charge.”

Vali Nasr is probably the smartest guy when it comes to all of this. His take on the Ayatollah's son being potentially the successor. Via NYT

Removed photo from Iran funeral for girls killed at the elementary school. The event happened but noticed something in the photo that might have indicated AI. Will repost it if I can confirm it is real. Apologies.

Because nothing - NOTHING - ever has gone horribly awry when the US supports armed oppositions against our adversaries.

Today's explanation for the Iran War (they shift by the minute) is that Israel was going to attack and so we had to as well. We were "forced" into war by Netanyahu.

That's the definition of weakness - being suckered into a war of choice that no American wants.

VOTEVETS SETS A RED LINE: Congress must stop ducking its constitutional duty. We expect all lawmakers to support the bipartisan War Powers resolution on Iran. We will hold Republicans AND Democrats accountable who do not.

So far, we’ve gotten into:

1. The oil-tanker escort business
2. The shipping-insurance business
3. The militia-arms and finance business

And it’s only Tuesday.
