The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
Trump Admin starts war.
Trump Admin shocked by consequences of war.
Trump Admin urgently (!) tells Americans caught by those consequences to get out! get out! and no there's no help coming from the Trump Admin, and good luck finding a land route out somewhere.

Big Blizzard Warning upgrade tonight through early MONDAY.
Messages are still the same:
• no long distance driving after 11pm Saturday through Sunday in the Twin Cities metro
• try to stay hunkered down all day Sunday
• get all errands complete by Saturday evening
That's not even ON my list.
Forecast update as I have my coffee:
• 10-18” around the Twin Cities metro (lower west, higher east)
• Won’t know where the highest totals will be until bands develop
• Potential for 20”+ in northwest WI
• Heaviest snow is overnight (2”/hr)
• Stay off the roads 10pm Saturday - Sunday afternoon
Israeli forces carry out daily attacks on besieged Gaza, as humanitarian conditions amid Iran war worsen.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

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.

Time for this majestic meme again.
⚠️ The escalation of the Vietnam War to direct US ground combat involvement began on March 8, 1965, with the landing of 3,500 US Marines from the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade.
We are all numb to it, but it is remarkable how little noise 95% of Democrats are making about this war. All we hear is fears that they could put troops on the ground and that they don't have a clear plan. It's all future tense about how things could go wrong, not opposing the war as it exists now.
These people live on an entirely different planet.
Itay Epshtain @ @EpshtainItay X.com Landed in Tel Aviv tonight, to find myself surrounded - as is publicly visible - by US war planes. Under the law of armed conflict, civilian airports are, by their nature, civilian objects. The starting point is the general rule of distinction reflected in Article 52(1) of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, which provides that civilian objects shall not be the object of attack or reprisals. Indeed, the mere fact that the object belongs to a State that is party to an armed conflict does not alter its civilian character. As with all objects in armed conflict, however, the legal characterization depends not solely on the object's nature but also on its use in the circumstances prevailing at the time.
Civilian objects become military objectives when, by their nature, location, purpose, or use, they make an effective contribution to military action and when their destruction, capture, or neutralization offers a definite military advantage. A civilian airport that is used to host, service, refuel, arm, or dispatch military aircraft may therefore lose its civilian protection, at least in respect of the parts of the installation that are being used for military purposes. In such circumstances the object may qualify as a military objective by use. The transformation is functional rather than formal: it does not require the airport to be formally designated a military airbase. What matters is whether the facilities contribute effectively to military operations, for example by enabling combat aircraft to
launch sorties or sustain military deployments in an international armed conflict. flightradar24 •Haifa WEST BANK Jerusalem© GAZA STRO •Be'dsheva Israel Google N/A K35R United States - Air Force TLV TEL AVIV Departed 03:31 ago © lan Howat N/A NOT AVAILABLE BAROMETRIC ALT. 9,300 ft GROUND SPEED Arriving in N/A 302 kts Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker REG 62-3498

For almost any life situation, I can come up with something from the Golden Girls that reminds me of it. Clearly, I've watched the series too many times and may have a problem.
Why is anyone still listening to this demented, blood thirsty fool?
You don't say.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

The food stamp cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill are $18 billion this year.
Sophia: That money's for my old age. Dorothy: Old age? You don't even leave fingerprints anymore. Sophia: I'm in my twilight years. Dorothy: You're in the twilight zone.
The US military is great at lethality. Truly world-class. Point to something and the US military can kill everyone there.
But lethality is a means, not an end. Ends are inherently political.
Said millions of times but bears repeating, since the people who don’t get it are in charge of the country.
We all know who did it.
Aw, it's just like old times. 🥲
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
I asked President Trump about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election. Then he called me a rotten reporter.
Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.
