Our poll asked about acceptability of U.S. military casualties in the same way we asked about the Iraq war from 2003-2006. Here's how those results compare www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

In September, a government-commissioned report warned: "AI's water demand could reach billions of cubic metres annually, posing a substantial threat to water security
worldwide and, critically, within the UK."
"Growth" that does such damage is utterly insane.
I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Even if true, which of course it isn’t, this doesn’t justify going to war without the approval of Congress & the UN Security Council.
Again, Iran is No Good & Very Bad is not an excuse for lawless authoritarianism here at home in 🇺🇸 or for violating our international treaty commitments.
Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.
Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.
They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

WELKER: NBC reports that President Trump has privately shown serious interest in US boots on the ground in Iran. Is the actively being considered?
WALTZ: I'm not going to get ahead of those conversations. We have troops that are focused on seizing weapons of mass destruction if so ordered.
White House official says the quiet part out loud.
It was never about protecting innocent protesters in Iran.
Trump is putting our servicemen and women in harm's way for oil.
Hint: It’s not about terrorists either.
If you knew this on day one, as I did, you were right.
'Refco MP threatens violence and civil unrest if they don't win next election' is a more accurate headline.
This is what fascism looks like. 😳👇
Umm..so tell me again how Putin stopped interfering in the US elections when Trump lost in 2020 (thanks to mail-in voting..it’s different).
Trump won seven swing states all called the night of the election, with less than 50% of the vote..what would've happened had Trump not been “re-elected”? 🤔
So we are back to discussing (indirect) subsidies for imported gas - hoping the EU consumer wins. In reality everyone - except the LNG-exporters - loses:
Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.
Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.
In the last three days, the Brexiters have been losing their shit because "MPs were dancing while the war in Iran was going on."

Oil going to $200 a barrel would be bad for Republicans in the midterms but utterly ruin the lives of tens of millions of people.
Hard to cheer for that.
On the other hand, if Iran makes nice and the Strait reopens, we're probably talking about bombing Cuba before too long.

Over and over:
Either the ridiculously reckless Trump gamble kind of works out, in which case they learn they are unstoppable God-kings immune to consequences, or it doesn't and there are terrible ramifications for... mostly other people.
So utterly bleak.
RUSSIA GETS:
-Higher oil prices
-Reduced US economic pressure
-Bogged down US military
-Air defense assets not sent to Ukraine
US GETS:
-Indefinite war in pursuit of undefined outcome
-Weaker economy
-Frayed international partnerships
-Combat deaths
Russia and China are helping Iran carry out precise strikes on U.S. and Israeli air defense systems and radars. Without them, Iran - having no satellites of its own - would never have been able to conduct such accurate strikes.
“You’d think he’d be busy monitoring the wildfire consequences of the war he’d just started. But, no, he entertained himself by slagging off the British leader to any British journalist who’d listen.”
And they did more than listen. They disgraced themselves.
