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

This is a bad policy that would help incumbents retain their seats in the upcoming midterms.

Why Democrats want do that when out of power in the White House, the Senate, and the House is another question.

Republicans control everything and every bad thing is their fault. Say it until November 3.

The follow-up needs to be “so obviously that mission was a failure then right?”

This crisis will continue to get worse until normal traffic through the Strait resumes, and, at this stage, even if the conflict ended today and tankers ramped back up to 100% Hormuz flow, it would still takes months to return to anything resembling normality.

Absolute fucking morons

The opposing party is using my tax money to build concentration camps and pay pardoned J6ers to kidnap children and shoot taxpayers in the street and bomb schoolchildren in Iran. Grow up you putz

REPUBLICANS: Democrats are antichrists and must be put against the wall.

DEMOCRATS: Let's work together with our friends across the aisle.

I wish people had listened to me when I tried to say these things were going to be unbelievably important. Now I’m too fucking busy and tired to deal with this kind of shit, and I doubt the people that talked to me still would.

I worked so hard trying to place a story about TPUSA and CRA and it was so long ago I literally don’t even remember it (pre election 24 was a lifetime ago).

They're basically the 15 year old boy of unified combatant commands.

Not uhhhh, not great

Dems are winning special elections because those are new candidates. Republicans hate Dems but Dem voters ALSO hate Dem leadership (Chuck, Hakeem) for folding on literally everything. Dems will win big in the midterms, but incumbents are gonna get rinsed in the primaries.

This is why they’re polling worse than ICE and AI

I don't know how you were expecting escorts as part of Operation Epstein Fury...

have been thinking a lot about how my grandmother worked at a piano factory during world war 2, when they switched to making plane parts—wondering if it at least felt good do be doing something,

unlike me going to my email job then and reading about the war and its secretary and his piano later

absolutely dying to investigate this piano purchase

Media coverage of this needs to start with informing people that the JCPOA existed, what it did, that it was working, & that Trump unilaterally destroyed it, & inform them that anything now is almost certain to fall short of that.

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

“The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm. Calls for his resignation now number in the thousands.”

Marco Rubio probably has blisters literally all the time if you need a pick-me-up thought today and I know I do

Problem Child | Eli Cugini Pixar isn’t just dithering about diversity—it has become visibly scared of children themselves.

I know I liked this article because when I got to the end of it I wished they had gone even further! thebaffler.com/latest/probl...

I feel like we should definitely know or not know if the navy escorted an oil tanker across the Strait of Hormuz. That just feels like pretty basic.

Someone catfished that Jake Lang white supremacist guy pretending to be a 15 year old girl and he took the bait in the worst possible way.

Russia is the one thing that can attack the US in countless ways and Trump never ever ever responds

I called it yesterday. GOP leadership won't denounce Rep. Andy Ogles' blatant anti-Muslim bigotry because anti-Muslim bigotry is official party policy.

Hoppers (Chong, 26)

Could not agree more. It’s a bizarre story that basically hints at the idea that it’s surprising that Mamdani isn’t sympathizing with terrorists
