Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
Cut the season to 70 games. Just have the whole league play every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night, and then let the players' bodies rest & recover for the 48-72 hours after every game. Stop being so damn greedy and understand that rest and routine will make the game better.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Mike Johnson blatantly makes stuff up: "We had information that they might well fire on us and it was imminent, and that it would hit our personnel. We could not wait for mass casualties on the American side."
Leavitt's responses to questions about Trump's call with Putin and whether or not he pressed him about sharing intelligence with Iran are evasive
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

real life or a leak of tonight SNL's cold open? You decide
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world
It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people
This is not good.
Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.
We should abolish the United States Senate. It serves no purpose.
Trump: "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).' Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Diesel at my local station is now over $4.40 a gallon. I was paying $3.75 two days ago. My truck is thirst. I guess I will be going nowhere fast this year.
ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).
People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...
This bank employee is a hero. He keeps asking basic questions to the Epstein gang about their finances. (This is far more than many prosecutors or cops did when faced with the same information). www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.
Who could have foreseen that the president who lies about literally everything, no matter how large or small, would lie about his intentions for war? I for one am as shocked as when mommy disappeared behind her hands only to reappear moments later
No one could've foreseen this.
