‘Epic Fury’. Did a five-year-old come up with that name? What a moron. Watching from Australia it’s like watching the worst circus ever. How embarrassing for Americans and how tragic it may be for the whole world. Get this clown out now.

The always-wrong insistence that the Iranian govt is on the verge of collapse and would topple with a push—and then a better govt would rise in its place—has been driving policy. Seriously.
"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."
When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

I’m sure Trump anticipated all this and has a great plan because he’s a master strategist.
I’m not voting for people based on whether or not I “like” them. It’s based on who is most likely to make the policy decisions most aligned with my goals. That’s it.
Iran entered this conflict with two underlying assumptions. The first was that their deterrence had been weakened and needed to be bolstered. That meant a more aggressive, escalatory response: striking not just at US troops and Israel, but also the Gulf states. Iran intended to send a very strong message: If it comes under attack at any point in the future, it will trigger a regional war with implications not only for Iran but for the security of every state in the region and for the global economy. Iran will not fall back on calibrated retaliation. If it is attacked, it will expand the scope of conflict in a way that imposes costs on everyone.
The second assumption is that they are more capable of absorbing cost and pain than the United States - specifically, that the cost of the conflict for Iran will be manageable, whereas for the US president, the price of energy and the political impact of a prolonged conflict will make it impossible to sustain. They assume they can outlast Trump. They believe they can continue firing retaliatory missile and drone attacks against US bases and Gulf states, that they can continue the pressure on energy, and that eventually Trump - not them - will be forced to deescalate. That's what they're waiting for.
The final point is that for them, survival and victory are one and the same. It doesn't matter how many bombs are dropped or how much damage US and Israeli bombers do to Iran — and they're doing a tremendous amount of damage. From the regime's point of view, so long as the Islamic Republic remains standing and defiant by the end of this conflict, they will have secured a victory.
For Iran, “survival and victory are one and the same. It doesn’t matter how many bombs are dropped. From the regime’s point of view, so long as the Islamic Republic remains standing by the end, they will have secured a victory.”

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Just now off the Senate floor: Susan Collins gets into an elevator. Chuck Schumer walks into that elevator behind her. Susan Collins quickly walks out before the door closes and looks for another elevator.
The Pentagon is reportedly cracking down on photographers who captured Pete Hegseth in a negative light—but the rah-rah defense secretary has already produced plenty of heinous photos over the years.

NOBODY - even those here "without papers" - should receive the kind of treatment that #WesleyPowers - an American citizen - did.
Noem may now be gone, but the cruelty and brutalizing remain.

Oh, hell. Hegseth is trying to do Trump’s anal lip shape. 🤦🏻♀️
one of the things that sucks about this website is we can't sarcastically suggest that we build a big tunnel under the strait of hormuz and then have elon musk unironically advocate for it
If I were in Rubio's shoes...
Sorry. I couldn't resist. 🤭
Whoops...OK, $51,000 of that (7,800 donations) has gone to 43 state/county Democratic Party funds, so all it ~$610,000 via ~80,000 donations to ~1,250 actual individual candidates.
That's ~$488 apiece averaging ~$7.62 per donation.

“a shift from militarism” is picking the guy who enlisted multiple times, was excited about war, and chose to return back to war but for money through Blackwater company. 🙄
Showing Up for Racial Justice @surj.org · 6h BREAKING: We are proud to endorse anti-racist, pro-working class candidate Graham Platner for Maine Senate in the June 9 Democratic primary and an image of surj endorses graham platner with a picture of this mediocre privileged white dude with his cleaned up grizzly adams haircut and beard.
Showing Up for Racial Justice @surj.org Follow Graham embodies the kind of change we believe is needed among millions of white people in this country: a shift away from militarism and racism and toward multiracial working-class solidarity that explicitly rejects racism.
I have way too many mutuals with this group.
These are not our allies. This is cosplay allyship.
No one who has a Nazi tattoo, says racist shit about Black folks, homophobic shit about gay folks, and blames women for rape is ANY kind of ally, especially when they make excuses for what they do.
