Summing up Iran news today, I think.
- US/Israel strikes continue
- Iran doesn't want talks, still firing on neighbors
- US asked Israel to stop hitting Iranian energy infra
- US claimed to be escorting tankers
- oops no it isn't
- Mines in the water
- ~80-90% of Iran mine laying capacity intact
Leaving allies in one part of the world vulnerable because you didn't plan *before* you attacked in another part of the world is rank incompetence.
And when a war is "almost over," you don't move missiles from Asia to the Middle East.
well, trump did promise to bring back mining jobs

i mean it’s objectively hilarious that he sends people clown shoes and they feel beholden to wear them lest they insult the boy king (no seriously: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...)
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
“.. a claim that, if true, would constitute an unprecedented breach of security protocols at an agency that serves more than 70 million Americans.”

This is good.
#GA14 get out an vote on Tuesday for Shawn Harris. It's a jungle primary so 50%+1 and Shawn wins this outright.
Three professional drone teams from Ukraine have arrived in the Middle East in order to support efforts to neutralize Iranian drones. The first 3 countries being supported are Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates.
This has been confirmed by President Zelenskyy.
This reminds me of Ted Cruz on January 6 saying that “the voters” have lots of concerns about the election results and so he’s just doing his job by responding to those concerns. Hm, where did Republican voters ever get that cockamamie idea from?
MS NOW confirms: Far-right activist Ed Martin is facing an ethics investigation from the D.C. Bar.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel — the enforcement arm for the local DC Bar — alleges that Martin violated ethics rules in early 2025 by making threats against Georgetown University Law Center.
🚨🚨Major story of today: Nearly seven months ago, #Ukraine tried to sell the US their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones but #Trump admin dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week because of heavy drone strikes from #Iran.🧵

How are dead authors supposed to opt out?
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
How did I know the Trump admins wouldn’t get a nuclear deal with Iran no matter how much bluster and bullying they tried?
Multiple reasons. But one was they didn’t include any nuclear physicists or engineers in the talks, in sharp contrast to the intricately detailed Iran nuclear deal that worked.
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran." #IranWar
The headline that highlights the absurd form of American fascism we now live with:
Among the things that's going on is Mamdani is being judged against the WILDLY inappropriate practice of Trump, Bondi, Kash, Noem, et al, publicly weighing in on matters that involve criminal charges.
A political leader SHOULD NOT get ahead of investigations. Trump routinely does.
This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
NARRATOR: Iran stopped oil from flowing through the Straight of Hormuz days ago.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
It's clear Gavin hasn't been paying close attention to how Mamdani has been managing Trump and is clearly not being managed by Trump.

If I lived in South Dakota, the first person challenged after the law is signed would be the Governor himself.
