CSPAN cspan • 21h X •@SecDuffy: "I'm a Republican, and I love transit... You should be able to have your 14-year-old daughter get on a metro train in New York City at 7 o'clock at night and feel safe. And there's no way in hell I would ever put my daughter on the MTA in New York."
never ceases to amaze me how the modern conservative movement is full of the most pathetic, cowardly people on earth
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Me not good with numbers, is that a lot?
One of todays unlucky 10,000
Courts should start sanctioning lawyers for simply defending this in court. When you have made the same arguments hundreds of times in court, and courts rejected those arguments hundreds of times, and you keep making those arguments, it is frivolous behavior, which is sanctionable.
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
“epstein class is iranian propaganda” is definitely something i’d expect the epstein class to say
Pete Hegseth gutted Pentagon oversight, calling the rules of war "stupid." He slashed the Middle East casualty team from 10 experts to one.
Then came the Minab strike: 170 girls and 14 teachers dead.
The Pentagon’s "inability to confirm" its role is the outcome Hegseth engineered.

This is so wild
So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.
Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.
And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?
Probably the best way for the next Democratic administration to recruit absolute top tier talent is to promote a policy of mercilessly prosecuting everyone involved in the ongoing lawlessness.

I *love* science fiction, and I blocked this company on my media feeds a while back. They are just awful, and this job ad lays that bare.
The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
A broken, blue heart
With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.
I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.
And something they should not only blame on trump, but hang around the necks of all republicans. They've got their war they've been pushing for decades now.
Second verse, same as the first, a whole lot dumber, a whole lot worse:
I didn’t have to use ChatGPT to know it tells you that you’re right even when you’re wrong. I’ve talked to people about their LLM usage, read reporting and studies about it, and seen what people have shared online. The idea that you HAVE to use something yourself to critique it is not always true
Exactly what her constituents want to know. Dump Schumer @democrats.senate.gov and get a set and a spine and elect Warren.

The New York Times opinion page published an article citing an interview with locals in an Ohio diner who think the phrase "All families are different" is "too woke"
I violently agree with this dek:
“The idea that Democrats are weirdly and extremely obsessed with "identity politics" and pronouns is a right wing propaganda fiction not supported by polling data, and Democratic party leaders should not be perpetuating it.”
We talk a lot about how Our Era has demonstrably proven that big tech execs are not actually smart, contrary to what was once popular belief:
we could be talking *more* about how Our Era has also demonstrated that fancy Wall Street execs are not actually smart.
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Also, he is what Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson told everyone Biden was. Their silence now is deafening. And damning.
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.
You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.
It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.
I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.
The evidence that the U.S. hit the girls’ school in Iran, killing scores of children, keeps growing.
It’s horrific and not something from which the media, or anyone else, should just move on.
