One of the reasons why Congress is supposed to approve a war is so you can try to hash out the whole "will this double the price of oil?" issue before it happens
One thing I've been stressing is that, if Hormuz traffic remained stopped, the monumental oil supply shock will manifest as sharp price spikes in wealthy nations that sap disposable incomes
In poorer countries, the shock will manifest as outright physical shortages.
just remembering the time the Washington Post leadership hung my friend Felicia, a sexual assault victim, out to dry because she tweeted *a link to a news story* about the rape when he died.
BREAKING: Leaked Pentagon documents reveal highly classified CENTCOM war plans
none of these fucking people know anything
this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating
One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Trump got really lucky during his firm term at the restraint exercised by Iranian leaders, and he rewarded them for that restraint by killing all of them
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Landrigan is THE authority on NH politics, another double digit swing in a special election.
I think the administration really thought it would be like Venezuela and they didn’t have to talk to anyone bsky.app/profile/chri...
they’re calling it the American century of humiliation
(Reuters) — US Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now. www.reuters.com/world/middle-...
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
so:
a. the Strait of Hormuz is def actually mined
b. they did ZERO planning for this
c. they're freaking out now that it's leaked to the press and trying to ensure us that 'no it's not'
Oil trading like a freaking memecoin over the last 5 days is really something
Maybe someone should brief him that any small boat can drop off a mine….
hilarious that Mike Johnson is already gaming out a path where Trump doesn’t have to back down and sign any legislation but Republicans still can fund DHS bsky.app/profile/atru...
don’t worry, Senate Republicans are going to abolish the filibuster and pass the SAVE Act any day now
send Mike Johnson to the frontlines and let’s see if he’s so glib
somebody explained to him the consequences of his actions

Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs NEWS via @CBSNews : U.S. intelligence assets have begun to see indications Iran is taking steps to deploy mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Iran is using smaller crafts that can carry 2 to 3 mines each. While Iran’s mine stock isn’t publicly known, estimates over the years have ranged from roughly 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines of Iranian, Chinese and Russian-made variants, @JimLaPorta reports 2:13 PM · Mar 10, 2026 · 6,060 Views

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.
