Far-right leader José Antonio Kast was sworn in as Chile's new president on Wednesday, marking the Latin American nation's most pronounced shift to the right since the return of democracy in 1990.

Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.
Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.
Rick Scott: "Is it gonna be easy to get the Strait or Hormuz open? It never was gonna be easy."
(The Strait was open just fine two weeks ago!)
He’s going to declare victory and leave.
This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.
Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.
#Canucks Kierszenstat of the Game:
Vancouver falls to 19-36-8 on the season. The Canucks' 19 wins are the lowest total by Vancouver through the team's first 63 games since 1998-99.
Three brothers, including two of the nation’s most successful luxury real estate brokers, were convicted of sex trafficking charges Monday after a five-week trial over accusations that they used drugs and force to rape scores of women they had dazzled with their wealth and opulent lifestyle.
"We have already warned everybody in the region," says Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. "Since we cannot reach American soil, we have to attack their bases in the region." https://to.pbs.org/4aZNeMK
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste

Clean up this trash please.
It’s Monday. Trump is lying. Iran does not have any Tomahawks. Not one.👇
This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.
He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

Oil prices surged to nearly $120 per barrel as President Trump said that military objectives in Iran were close to completion.
Economic risks remain as long as one-fifth of the world’s oil supply remains cut off by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
And Fox News viewers just lap it up. #cdnpoli

“For now, the Iranian regime is not crumbling, but is expanding the war. The Iranian people are not overthrowing their government, and the war is spreading across the region,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

Trump and the most corrupt governments in Latin America, here is what the so called "Shield of the Americas" is all about.

Nothing but the best people.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Buffalo gets Colton Parayko. Was a treat to watch him for two weeks in Milan. He's not graceful but man does he know how to eat up space and just take away all your options.
MacKenzie Weegar has been traded to Utah. Even in a down year, he grades quite well on our side thanks to his tools giving him a good all-around base at worst, and a highly-impactful two-way D at best.

“America has been at war for nearly a week, but the president who started the war can’t explain why,” Adam Serwer argues:
Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.
He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.
