Reports of a JNIM incursion at the village Kossouka, 40 kilometers from Ouahigouya in Yatenga province.

Apparently, the FLA used up to 25 drones to swarm the Security Forces / Africa Corp camp in Gao which if confirmed will make it a landmark event in drone use in Africa.

Justice Department’s Ed Martin faces disciplinary proceedings from the D.C. Bar Last month, Martin was demoted and sidelined within the administration. If he thought that was the worst of his troubles, he’s now learning otherwise.

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.

Today, I'd like to remind my friends that:

Depression isn't rational

Body Dysmorphia isn't rational

Anxiety isn't rational.

But they are real. The irrationality of it all means we don't get to pick our battles. They come to us, & weren't not given a choice.

I sure as hell haven't

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

DHS Ousts CBP Privacy Officers Who Questioned ‘Illegal’ Orders Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

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.

More of said Types could die heroic deaths? 😐

So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

☺️

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

Great thread that points out our finest were not all born in America but their honorable service makes them my Brothers and Sisters!

Semper Fidelis and I thank the gods we have such folks who step up to adopt our great nation as their home that they're willing to die to defend...

When I worked in naval mine warfare requirements development and later on the Iran problem set, I have to admit, we never considered a Presidential tweet as one of the means at our disposal to get a Q-lane going through the Strait.

That’s on me, honestly.

😂

You need a PhD for that, apparently.

Minnesota businesses hit by now-canceled tariffs are lining up for refunds The Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump’s tariffs illegal, but did not get into any process for making up lost revenue to businesses

Hormel, Arctic Cat and Mischief Toy Store are among at least a dozen Minnesota businesses that have filed for refunds since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Trump’s tariffs.

Take a break from doom scrolling and know this.

You're loved.

You're important.

We are together in this space for a reason.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.

I could keep arguing with folks about primaries & Nazi tattoos or l can do what I have been doing for the last 10 years…PUT IN SOME WORK.

This is my 1st batch of GOTV postcards & they’re heading to Georgia.

It’s go time Dems!

Y’all know what to do!

#AllGasNoBrakes until the last vote is cast💪🏾😤

BW told y’all to prepare yourselves in November of 2024.

There’s nothing him/they’re doing that wasn’t told to y’all or written down in Project 2025.

Nothing.

I don’t feel an ounce of guilt for y’all just now figuring out the time to be scared was BEFORE Election Day 2024.

The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.

Special Military Operation update: fuck

They want lists of vulnerable children. Let that sink in.

You have to scroll a bit but the hilarity is worth it.

The Kharg Island Gambit: Why SEAL Team Six is the Key to Choking Iran’s Energy Lifeline Energy warfare. Dr. Brent Eastwood breaks down the SEAL Team Six plan for Kharg Island and the 2026 "knockout punch" to end the war in Iran.

I read this once.

Then I read it again, because I’d couldn’t believe what I just read.

Then I read the bio.

For your consideration: the most intensely wrongheaded article on the war thus far.
