Once again the Trump administration will need its European allies who have multiple times the US Navy’s mine clearing capacity.
Turns out that for fighting wars in the Middle East, the US needs its European allies. No matter who sits in the White House.
When Thomson Reuters employees learned that their company was providing ICE with investigative software, they mobilized. More than 200 Reuters employees have signed a letter asking that the company not renew the ICE contract when it expires in May.
It’s a challenge to catch the dude’s good side
NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

I’m old enough to remember when Bob Drinan filed first impeachment article against Richard Nixon and if my memory serves, it was for the illegal war in Cambodia?
… to be sure, that SCC estimate was most likely a gross understatement.
Because of Biden we were able to wean ourselves from almost all direct fossil fuel use in our house and car last year. Thanks Joe!
Listening to Country Joe’s album of Woody covers. So long …

I’m not going to watch the State of the Union address Tuesday night. I urge you not to, either. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-fate-of-the-dis-union

"the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children"
Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Long before I got involved with climate change, I was the Pentagon correspondent accredited by a leading news organization, and competing directly against the Washington post correspondent. None of us worried about our homes being invaded.
Post from Julie K Brown that says Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ monitoring me? Record Locato American Arlines CONPIDENTIAL for official
Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
"The hospital was understaffed, and people in the camp were so anemic that they couldn’t get enough blood donations. [Dr.] Otieno had twice donated himself while he was midsurgery in order to save a pregnant woman’s life."
@annamaria.bsky.social on the real-world damage done by Trump's aid cuts:
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Gotta be “who writes the headlines”
"It is ridiculous, it is embarrassing". Sen. Mark Kelly rips Pete Hegseth, noting he's in the National Command Authority for nuclear weapons, yet he's posting "turtles with rocket-propelled grenades". Kelly says he should be fired.
Justice Department struggles as thousands exit — and few are replaced … because at the moment that job would be a blot on your resume forever
Not paying out SNAP is a choice, not an inevitable consequence of the shutdown.
Lawmakers could, by the end of today, pause the expiration of existing licenses for businesses that take EBT, move money from non-essential functions and maintain existing beneficiaries for the duration of the shutdown.
