That deadly attack on US service members also left "dozens w/ injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns. At least one may require the amputation of a limb."
More than 30 are hospitalized.
And credit where due: This is a strong story from CBS News.

From day one, DOGE was a disaster. It recklessly fired hardworking Americans, cancelled critical projects, & cost taxpayers more money than it saved.
Now, we’re hearing its staff also stole the private social security data of every American.
DOGE will forever be a stain on American history.

Trump's incompetent Admin PULLED US minesweepers from the Middle East before going to war with Iran. They're fucking sitting in Pennsylvania
Republicans are STUPID are they raising our prices on purpose? www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Again, the reason so many of us in academia are so categorically opposed to AI is not because we’re Luddites or idiots or denialists. It’s because ~every current tool & application of it is built on criminal theft & the bad faith monetization of it.
We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused.
They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

Heartbroken to hear a seventh service member has lost their life as a result of this war in Iran.
Grateful for their brave service to our country and thinking of their family and loved ones.
May his memory be a blessing.
Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

"England 1819" = US 2026. King George III = Donald Trump
"An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King;
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn--mud from a muddy spring;
Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know,
But leechlike to their fainting country cling."
--Shelley
The dignified transfer of fallen service members is one of the most solemn duties of a Commander-in-Chief.
Showing up in a baseball cap is not respect.
Remove the hat.
Stand at attention.
Honor the sacrifice.
Anything less dishonors those who gave everything.👇
I get that nothing matters until the NY Times reports it, but some of us more independent outlets had this story a month ago...

Unbelievable bad form Uber and Lyft
“Ridesharing companies like Uber, for instance, can charge users more when they have lower battery life on their phone.”
A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

NEW: Over 150k Texans this week faced deliberate voting barriers driven by Republicans’ decision to switch to precinct-only polling places.
Why did Tuesday’s primaries descend into chaos and punish so many voters? As one GOP official behind the effort put it:
“Because we can.”
NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”
This is who our President is...
DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--
TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
