I was assigned to go with McKay to Vegas and teach him the ways of darkness. Best assignment I ever had - and included as a story in here.

$11 billion spent in just six days of war.
$38 trillion in debt.
Let's go the moon.
It's a horrible time to be in the military, taking orders from people who don't understand how anything works, ignore the experts who do, and have no qualms about sending our young troops to die for the aggrandizement of Dear Leader.
Trump was warned about the Strait, he just ignored the warnings.
Lindsey is just high on death.
Watch this video.
This is the start of the MAGA Nuremberg tribunals.
We will put Nathan Cavanaugh on trial for breaking the law, and we will put him in prison for a long time. It’s the only way to prevent this from happening again and restore rule of law.
To summarize, Trump has offered asylum to Iran’s women’s soccer team and death to its men’s.
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..."

No freaking way
I teach an entire ten week graduate seminar on how money is political and they just ... minted it out.
“.. Trump’s preference of leaning on a tight circle of close advisers in his national security decision making had the effect of sidelining interagency debate over the potential economic fallout if Iran were to respond to US-Israeli strikes by closing the strait.”

Peace is woke. Can't have woke money.
“.. There’s no point in deceiving ourselves: Trump now sounds little different than Vladimir Putin in how he justifies the conflict—and in how much power he has claimed for himself to dictate America’s participation in it.”

a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'
if (waves hands generally at everything happening) is the worst consequence of handing over the levers of essentially absolute power to a game show host and his merry band of podcasters and fox news personalities, we will count ourselves very, very lucky.
I thought a biblical disaster is what they are aiming for.
The Israeli military has dropped charges against soldiers who were on camera raping a Palestinian detainee.
@premthakker.bsky.social explains, the whole story is even worse.
Reminder: You can watch the DOGE bro depos on YouTube!
(I’ve seen a lot of clips compiled by news orgs, but some of them don’t link to the full videos.)
“It says a lot about where the Republican Party is today.”
As Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social points out — the lack of condemnation from the Republican Party of the Ogles & Tuberville Islamophobic “overt racism” shows it isn’t a fringe position in their party.
Karp always delivers, he can't help himself and rants openly about Palantir's bloodlust and war-profiteering. He's been doing this for years. Anyone who speaks seriously about Palantir should be shunned. They are what Karp says they are.
Is it Russia, as Ukraine advances its AD capacity and capabilities with sales to the Gulf States?
Is it China, who is a free-rider on the American maritime security system that Trump is breaking?
Ok, maybe Iran is enduring, but that is to be expected: being attacked is a boost, politically.
You can't make deals if everyone knows you reneg on deals.
2/ "The Pentagon and [NSC] significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes ... agency analysis and forecasts that would be integral elements of the decision-making process in past administrations were secondary considerations."
"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes."

Idk how a future D administration fixes this tbh
Implied in this is DoD is doing a partial mobilization? With 2/3rds of airlift and air refueling assets in the reserve compo, I was wondering when this might happen, or had happened and not announced.
Talarico: "There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis. There's a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"
My final report for CBS airs Saturday.
A feature on the 88-year-old radio pioneer who has changed lives -- and become the voice of something much more important - off-the-air.
