A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

Republican leadership still hasn't condemned Ogles for his streak of genocidal anti-Muslim comments.

This is who they are.

Also, Democratic leadership hasn't called for him or Randy Fine to be censured.

Which btw is not an expression of “partisanship” so much as an accurate diagnosis of what is causing the fascist crisis. While the party falls short here, voters do not, in fact, want political leaders to “compromise” w fascists.

Iran’s Control of Hormuz Means It’s Exporting More Oil Today Than Before the War Tehran is letting ships carrying its crude pass through the strait, while it scares off others that would dare.

An amazing stat:

Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war.

It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz.

Probably it isn’t good that one of the two major parties is animated by religious extremists who are committed to bringing about the end of the world.

A black-and-white historical portrait photograph of Edmée Chandon, the pioneering French astronomer (1885–1944), shown as a young woman. She has short, curly dark hair styled in a bob with soft volume, adorned with a dark headband featuring two prominent vertical barrette-like pins or clips. Her expression is calm and direct, gazing straight at the camera with a subtle, composed demeanor. She wears a dark velvet or satin dress with a high neckline accented by a white lace ruffled collar or jabot, and a small decorative brooch or button at the center. The image has a classic early 20th-century studio style with soft lighting, a plain background, and slight vignetting, evoking elegance and determination.

Astronomer Edmée Chandon died #OTD in 1944.🔭

She was the first professional female astronomer in France, working at the Paris Observatory from 1908 until her retirement in 1941.

She is one of the 72 pioneering women whose names are to be engraved on the Eiffel Tower.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Truly a perfect news alert

I just left another briefing on Iran.

Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me:

He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Americans can tolerate a genocide in Gaza, ICE killing and kidnapping people, Trump's racism and cruelty, but I do think high gas prices - in addition to all the other chaos - might be a bridge too far.

Knowing that aid workers would rush to the site of the bombed school—making it a prime target for the eventual double-tap strike to kill them—looks an awful lot like a premeditated war crime to me.

Jake Lang, the white supremacist leader of this violent rally, was pardoned by Trump after participating in January 6th.

Imagine if Democrats had pardoned someone who then led a violent attack on Republican mayors?

It'd be 24-7 news. Our media institutions all bend the knee to the right-wing.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

The irony is physically painful.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
