I thought the war was over. Are you saying my government isn't telling me the truth?

FCC chair threatens broadcasters over Iran war coverage FCC Chair Brendan Carr said news broadcasters coverage of Iran war could impact their license renewal.

I'm running out of subscriptions to cancel, but if any of our media oligarchs think I won't find a way to take my money away from them for complying with this bullshit, they're sorely mistaken

Try me assholes. Stand your ground or lose my cash and eyeballs

It's funny how they see allowing broadcasters to use the airwaves for free as a subsidy, but they can't bring themselves to acknowledge that allowing an energy company to destroy public lands for oil exploration and extraction, is also a fucking subsidy

An Epidemic of β€˜Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

Trump did not win ANY majority. He got less than 50% of the vote. Hillary Clinton's victory margin in 2016 was larger.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Republicans when Democrats want to raise the minimum wage: β€œThe filibuster is an important tool that is central to our democracy.”

Republicans when they want to suppress your right to vote: β€œFuck the filibuster! That thing’s outdated as hell!”

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

This stunning photograph captures a panoramic sunrise from **Hunts Mesa Overlook** in Monument Valley (Arizona/Utah border), one of the most iconic viewpoints in the American Southwest.

The composition is layered beautifully:
- **Foreground**: Rugged, undulating sandstone terrain in warm terracotta and golden-orange tones, bathed in the low-angle sunrise light. Sparse desert scrubβ€”small shrubs, clumps of dry grass, and scattered juniperβ€”adds texture, while long, dramatic shadows stretch across the ground, emphasizing the early-morning hour.
- **Midground**: Eroded mesas and buttes with classic horizontal strata and rounded, weathered edges. Some faces glow brightly in rich reds and oranges where the sun strikes them; others remain in cool purple-blue shadow, creating incredible depth and contrast.
- **Background**: The distant valley floor stretches to the horizon, where the most famous Monument Valley monuments riseβ€”towering buttes and the unmistakable silhouettes of the Mittens and other sentinel formations. A light haze softens the farthest peaks, adding atmospheric perspective.

The **sky** is spectacular: a deep indigo-to-lavender gradient at the top fades into softer blues near the horizon, with scattered, fluffy clouds catching subtle pink and gold highlights from the rising sun. The overall color paletteβ€”warm earth tones against cool atmospheric blues and purplesβ€”is cinematic and perfectly balanced, giving the scene an epic, peaceful, almost otherworldly feel.

This is quintessential Monument Valley: vast, ancient, and dramatically lit by the first light of day from one of the best high overlooks in the region.
