2. Some key points to note: the 31st MEU is the rapid reaction force for the Pacific. This means it’s leaving its main theater. That doesn’t make Asia-Pacific defenseless, by any means, but it does reduce our reaction time in that region.
That’s interesting. When I left, I had locked my account, but it wouldn’t let me delete it for some reason. I assumed it would eventually be removed after years on inactivity 🤷♀️
Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.
Biden didn’t start the War in Afghanistan. He didn’t even negotiate the terrible terms for the end of the war in Afghanistan (Trump did). But when 13 US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan during the last days of the war, he was blamed. Including a LOT by Trump and his campaign.
Fast forward …
So cute ☺️
Reminder: Trump and Rubio killed US diplomatic capacity which would have been useful before the war and sure would be useful now.
your vote is rarely the single decisive vote
but sometimes it is! and you never know when that might be
"I'm willing to take a not guilty. I'm willing to take a no true bill."
What she means is she's willing to bring legally deficient cases that harass innocent defendants, waste her line prosecutors' time, and makes her office look like jerkoffs in front of judges and juries.
Unclear if Netanyahu knew that this would happen and just didn't care or knew that this would happen and was deliberately trying to engineer this outcome to undermine the United States
The Scrubs revival is great so far! However, the actors all seem to have visibly aged, which is weird because I haven't gotten any older since I began watching the show when it first aired.
These guys need to cheer up about the midterms.
Think about it this way, folks! When you get voted out of office in November, that’s gonna be your short term pain.
But when America has fewer political leaders who are terrified to disobey Trump and his crazy ideas, that’ll be our long term gain.

Hummingbirds have one of the fastest growth rates among all birds--they are fully grown in 3-4 weeks.
These babies in my daughter's yard prove that point. The nest is only 1 1/2 inches in height.
WIRED named the DOGE operative accused here of planning to take Social Security data to his new job. It's John Solly, and he works for the government contractor Leidos, a company that has millions in contracts with SSA.

Maybe Trump caused gas prices to rise in order to distract everybody from the rising price of healthcare.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
It’s maddening. I cannot believe we are doing this again.
“wanting to be a shitty person and hanging out with other shitty people and then being surprised pikachu when they are shitty to you” really is the perfect summary of the modern right
What do we even do with this.
The global economy hangs in the balance and these people are criminally inept
Hold on—Trump said the Iran war was almost over.
So, why are you trying to sell the American people on potential boots on the ground overseas to “protect Americans here?”
I call bullshit.
Maybe we could just have the FBI agents do what they do best, catching terrorists before they hit us, instead of being used as political pawns?
Maybe then we won’t have so many days like today in which we got hit by two potential terrorist attacks.
“It’s unfortunate that senators find learning about this administration’s ethnic cleansing fantasies more revolting than the existence of those fantasies.”
If not for tariffs we really probably would be around 2% core inflation.
I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
Small dog in a covered dog bed.
Merlin loves his covered donut bed.
Small black and white dog sleeping.
Sonny bear plays hard and then falls over asleep 😴
It is the ease and assurance, unburdened by experience, wisdom, compassion, knowledge, humility, that is so deeply disturbing. And depressing.
No foaming at the mouth, no raving, no malaprops... just smooth, conscienceless execution.
We've gotten numb to it, but what Trump/Hegseth is now doing to Anthropic—and what Trump did to the law firms—are not just tantrums, they are impeachable abuses of power. They are, in effect, executive branch bills of attainder. ...

His father, wife, son, and at least one grandchild were reportedly killed in the US-Israeli attack.
Honestly, I don’t think he’s going to be interested in ending this war anytime soon.
$11 billion spent in just six days of war.
$38 trillion in debt.
Let's go the moon.
