Pentagon Is Moving Additional Marines, Warships to the Middle East
The Pentagon is moving additional Marines and warships to the Middle East as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to three U.S. officials. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ap...
Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops.
If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.

ICYMI — “exposes his foolishness”
@GasBuddyGuy points out Bumblin’ @RepTimBurchett doesn’t understand how oil/gas prices work, pointing out the fact that we don’t import oil from Iran doesn’t mean globally traded oil/gas prices aren’t impacted.

U.S. vows more military action in Latin America while bombing Iran
The Trump administration’s plan to end drug cartels in Latin America is another interventionist boondoggle.
Without the cooperation and full participation of Mexico and Colombia, which have not signed on, it is unclear how the "Shield of Americas" coalition would eradicate drug cartels without launching attacks inside the nonparticipatory states, and thus violating Mexican and Colombian sovereignty.

Every right-of-center regime in my lifetime has done politics by pandering to the two core principles of the American Rube: (1) things are bad because of Those People and (2) being Tough / Not Woke is the forbidden ritual magick that would Fix Everything if our weak leaders would just use it. (1/2)

Is Israel committing political suicide so they can say “we had to use a nuke on Iran”?
Is the reason for all this “Iran can’t have nuclear weapons” thing because “every accusation is a confession”?

NZ has lined up with 'MAGA US states' on oil, former Marsden Point boss says
While others are switching to renewables, this country is "going down the 1980s' path", David Keat says.
'A former director at Marsden Point says the country has aligned itself with "MAGA US States" in its pursuit of fossil fuels and rejection of renewable energy sources.'
Yea we know
The sooner the world stops using oil the better

We warn fellow members of the Muslim community that at some point the GOP would return to demonizing Muslims. The GOP simply rotates their hate depending on need. Their hatred towards Latinos is costing them votes so now it's Muslims. Soon they will be back to LGBTQ, Blacks, women and repeat.

What did Trump do after finding out Putin was helping Iran target American troops in the Middle East?
Ease sanctions against Putin.
This is treasonous.

The war in Iran is an American failure. What do we do now? | Robert Reich
The most powerful nation in the world is now being led by a rogue president who rejects its longstanding values
"The tragic failure at the center of this devastation is not that most Americans have succumbed to war fever," writes @rbreich.bsky.social.
"In fact, this is the first war America has entered in modern times without majority in support."
