A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.

Everything is maybe slightly worse than we said it was going to be.

I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.

Anyone else have the feeling that Trump has already floated the idea of the Navy escorting tankers through Hormuz (to the Navy) and they told him no, but he can’t admit that the threat is not eliminated?

I informed Grammarly via email precisely what I thought of their appropriation of my name and reputation and received an email from their head of litigation promising a full response by the end of the week.

A statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein styled like Jack and Rose from Titanic appeared on the National Mall today, showing the two figures standing on a ship’s bow with their arms outstretched in the film’s famous “King of the World” pose.

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House.
Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Fmr Trump spokesman: "Let's be consistent."
BTC: "I am being consistent-- that's the problem. I watched Trump on the campaign trail disparage all these other politicians who engaged in wars in the Middle East. And yet here we are. We have dead Americans, rising oil prices, and a war with no plan."

Contradictory and largely misinformed messaging by Trump administration figures sparks wild swings in oil markets, but is now leading traders to discount Trump administration claims. www.ft.com/content/26f3...

Along the way, I blast a certain Senator blocking a bipartisan bill for wounded combat veterans (while we’re at war) that will make your blood boil, pull back the curtain on my Colbert appearance last night and my push to draft Stephen to run as an independent against Lindsey Graham—

US jobs numbers have now been revised down in each of the last 13 months, by a total of -710,000 jobs. This means employment was initially overstated by an average of ~55,000 jobs/mo. US job numbers were revised down by another -4,000 jobs in Jan and -65,000 in Dec.

You’ve got to be kidding me. President Bone Spurs and his incompetent White House are floating the idea of sending other people’s sons, daughters, moms and dads to fight and die in a ground war with Iran.
He swore he wouldn’t do this. He lied.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
