Lawmakers weigh in on more money for Iran conflict Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., slammed the conflict over the weekend but did not entirely rule out the possibility of Congress approving more funds

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has not ruled out additional funding for #IranWar.

Please tell me I'm having a nightmare.

How about we give him one.

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.

Anyone paying attention could have seen this coming a million miles away.

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.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

🔵 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.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

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...

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.

Krieg gegen Iran: Putins steigende Einnahmen Der Iran-Konflikt begünstigt Putin und steigert die Ölpreise, während die Ukraine unter Druck steht. Die geopolitischen Spannungen und mögliche US-Sanktionen beeinflussen die Situation.

Trump rings up Putin and almost instantly promises to do whatever Putin asks of him. Funny how that works. Over and over. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/krie...

Pentagon Should Focus on Defense Priorities, not Lavish Dinners, After Historic $93.4B “Use-It-or-Lose-It” September Defense officials typically enter the end of each fiscal year with at least one goal in mind: spend the rest of the military’s budget by any means necessary.

"The military also bought $6.9 million of lobster tail this September."

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Did the bombing of the girls' school at Minab flow directly from Hegseth's obsession with "lethality"? There's very good reason to believe that. And it furnishes another reason for his removal, as well as further disciplinary action against him.

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

WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That it’s even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.
