I am heartbroken to learn about the passing of Capt. Ariana G. Savino from Washington state. I am deeply grateful for her courage and sacrifice in service to our country. Remarkable women like Capt. Savino represent the absolute best of our state and country.

ABC: 2,200 Marines aboard three U.S. Navy ships are being ordered to the Middle East.
Nothing says, "No more foreign wars" quite like sending in the Marines.🙄

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.
A galactic humiliation.

the straight of Hormuz is open for transit
This speaks to @joshtpm.bsky.social’s observation that while ideology is part of this (he’s trying to suck up to Trump, he’s a Bari Weiss fan, now) but he’s got billionaire brain. He’s trying to use blinkered ideas from other realms that don’t work on journalism.
if you want policy reasons not to vote for Schlossberg beyond the nepo baby cringe:
1. he is trying to NIMBY a NYCHA redevelopment that will bring thousands of homes to Chelsea
2. he opposes DC statehood
3. he has endorsed our local NIMBY Republican-lite crank for city council
they certainly have heads
The strait of Hormuz is open for transit
I’m very glad to see this process beginning.
This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.

First Democrat to become Boca Raton Mayor in over three decades. Your vote matters.
The entire US political ruling class has had their brains rotted out by decades of only doing policy through tax preferences, because they're afraid of spending money. So their only solution to increasing income and resource inequality is reducing taxes on the burdened classes.
South African immigrants to the US are returning to South Africa because the US does not feel safe, citing school shooters and ICE raids. apple.news/A9pQEUbPrT_W...
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Guiou, a case worker for foster children, is a registered Democrat and a “big Zohran Mamdani fan.” But she said she’s considering changing her registration so she can vote for Fishback in the primary. She’s drawn to his promise not to take money from AIPAC and to his insistent emphasis on affordability. Guiou said she and her fiancé have to live with roommates because rent is so expensive and homeownership unachievable. She told me that she listens to Fuentes sometimes, and some of what he says makes sense to her. “I would say that there are some things that he speaks for that I agree with, especially about things not being affordable, about the elites purposefully keeping the general population under their control by pricing us out of things that should be considered basic needs,” said Guiou. And she listens to Candace Owens, who has lately been accusing Charlie Kirk’s wife of complicity in a Zionist plot to murder him. “My politics are kind of confused, right?” she told me with a laugh.
