5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

...any of the thousands of US Navy members current and former who have transited the Strait of Hormuz while Iran trolled the ship for shits and giggles can describe for you at least 3 ways they can close the Strait without attending any briefing.

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Arizona is now ground zero for this cynical and profoundly anti-democratic effort, and we’re going to fight like hell to stop it.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

If Trump has totally destroyed their navy and all their missile capabilities, as he says, then why can’t ships move through the Strait of Hormuz?

Nah, it's called free housing from the government

COLLINS: I want to remember something you said last summer

*plays Marshall a clip of him saying "I think it will take years for Iran to restart their nuclear program"*

SEN. MARSHALL: Look, I was wrong. I believe we obliterated those nuclear facilities, but now they're restarting programs elsewhere

This. The “Save America Act” aims to nationalize voter purges using DHS’s centralized “SAVE” voter purge system, which is already plagued by security & accuracy systems, while simultaneously making it difficult for voters to re-register if they are wrongly purged, as Rs have a habit of doing. 1/

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

IMHO, I think the use of outdated maps or AI might have played a role. But I am NOT an expert. Nor do I have the knowledge that Schatz would have.

Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.

Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

COLLINS: Even the Heritage Foundation said they only found 100 instances of non-citizen voter fraud since 2000. That's out of 1.5 billion ballots.

It’s very important to me that you see how dedicated this man is to his cows (he is a retired brigadier general)

Trump wants to seize Iran’s oil

Just how does he intend to do that if the IRGC closes the Strait of Hormuz and US Navy ships refuse to do anything about it
