ICE should have been hunting down the Iranian sleeper cells instead of 5 year-olds in bunny hats and 6 year-olds with hearing aids.

5 great indie games from GDC 2026 Keep an eye on these promising indies.

Played some great stuff at GDC this year. At Fate's End in particular blew me away, and a lot of other journalists I talked with felt the same way

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

Exactly this:

LOL she admits that the reason she loses so often is because she prosecutes way more shitty cases.

just found out the eight year old got dealt enough of a bad hand with teeth that we’re going to need thousands of dollars of orthodontic work already

thank goodness we have the money but it is absurd that the health care industry treats teeth as luxury bones that are almost entirely out of pocket

Sometimes it takes low-tech to defeat hi-tech.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Whisky Pete can’t keep his story straight.

We sure do!

The war in the Middle East has shown that some air defences in the region have struggled to cope with Iranian Shahed drones, which have flooded the skies over the Persian Gulf.

Now, countries under threat are asking Ukraine for help in combating them.

I joined 121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social demanding Secretary Hegseth publicly release the results of the investigation into the strike that killed over 175 Iranian civilians — mostly elementary school girls.

Fun fact: Tim Walz has not gone along with sports betting. Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, even at tribal casinos.

"Your honor, the only thing keeping the so-called victim of this so-called murder from being alive is him being dead. If my client had not killed him, then he would still be alive. So if you think about it, is he really dead at all? Case closed. The defense rests."

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Trump administration underestimated Iran war’s impact on Strait of Hormuz | CNN Politics The Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes while planning the ongoing operation, accord...

“Planning around preventing this exact scenario — impossible as it has long seemed — has been a bedrock principle of US national security policy for decades,” a former US official who served in Republican and Democratic administrations said. “I’m dumbfounded.”

Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"

Signal Gate and the murder of shipwrecked men should’ve ended Pete Hegseth’s term

But incompetently killing hundreds of schoolgirls-which will surely enrage Iranians-is beyond the pale

Whether the war is a cover for Epstein related crimes or not-Trump’s callous disregard of life won’t be forgotten

Highly recommend that once in a while you check out what the international news community is reporting on this war.

Peep this from yesterday. See the difference?

This is Peanut. He's on someone's lap, wearing a fleece-lined jacket, and safe inside a car. But he's positive he could take that wolf. 12/10 (TT: peanutthepomapoo)

An attacker rammed a vehicle into a synagogue in Michigan. Here's what we know. The attacker rammed a vehicle into the synagogue and was confronted and killed by security, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

Horrified by this violent attack at a Michigan synagogue. As we learn more, please join me in sending our love and affection to the Temple Israel community. Like everyone in our society, Jewish Americans must have safe places in which to practice our faith.
