Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded $11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with the briefing. The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation, such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first week. Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war. That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.

The Israeli government answer to every problem now is collective punishment of civilians and other war crimes.

Another thing they should be getting out ahead of is blaming the Republicans for the eventual retaliations, terrorism or otherwise. Which are *already* starting:

“Hey! Rexy!! Old buddy old pal!! Listen, I know you’re busy, I just had a quick ques-“
“Yes he is that stupid” (click)

I resent the GOP’s credentialed apologists treating me like a fucking idiot.

descriptions of Trump 2 as a 'clownshoes' government were once taken to be figurative, but the discovery of new images from the era ...

this administration also fired probably the most promising and mission-minded CNO in a decade because she was too woke (a woman)

My rough timeline:
If the Strait reopens in the coming week, we have weeks of energy market disruption ahead but things have settled by the Autumn.
If the Strait is closed for another 3/4 weeks we have months of disruption.
If the Strait is closed for longer things get very bad, very quickly.

I've basically gone full Schmittian when it comes to these cretins. Ogles and his ilk aren't counterparties in a democratic system; they are sworn enemies of the American republic who are working to destroy it from within.

I love this messaging for them. Please ride this all the way to November, Republicans

Even in the era of hyperpolitics, I don't think you can overcome a genuine energy crisis through posting. But decent odds we're about to find out whether that works.

Republicans: "be chill about this, ok?"

for literally my entire life every single Republican Presidency has left the country in crisis such that the next Democratic President has to spend most of their time cleaning it up

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.

The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

The Federal Government has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits or “serious legal questions” coupled with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in its favor. Any harm from the investigation- specific disqualification is abstract at best, whereas granting a stay would reinstate an official who acted without lawful authority -- a clear injury to the State Government. The public interest likewise favors ensuring that governmental power is exercised only by officials with lawful authority. Each factor, and all four taken together, weigh against granting a stay.

Another defeat for another unconstitutionally appointed Trump DOJ prosecutor:

Ex-Trump campaign lawyer John Sarcone will remain disqualified as U.S. Attorney for Albany, and his subpoenas to Letitia James' office will stay quashed.

He's not likely to succeed on appeal, a judge finds.

The Great Gatsby is profoundly easy to read lmao what even is this

The thing about merchant ships is they're not as good at damage control as navy ships.

Even the largest merchant vessels, such as oil tankers of 500,000 tons, won't have more than 20-30 men, or fewer than one man per 10,000 tons.

Fires or damage that would be easily controlled in a warship might be catastrophic in a merchant ship.

welcome back, 1970

Gas costs $6 a gallon and the economy lost 100,000 jobs last month. But the characters in Raya and the Last Dragon did not have identifiable races. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I now realized Donald Trump lied to me when he said he wouldn't start regime change wars in the Middle East. But we need to stick with him to fight against children identifying as cats and using litter boxes in school classrooms.
