BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Racism an endless well for white people.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this.
I go no responses from anyone I reached out to.
Guess they're all fine with comments like this!
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the Supreme Court’s handling of emergency cases has created a “warped” process that effectively signaled the outcome of high-profile controversies prematurely. https://cnn.it/4ulLZz8
Breaking: Anthropic sues Pentagon over being labeled a national security risk
Gee, ya think the plaintiff has a good case? Considering Pentagon officials went from being ready to entrust Anthropic with the highest level of strategic security clearance to banning them from all federal contracts…
She's right.

US student loan debt was engineered specifically to prevent large numbers of not wealthy people from becoming college educated.
Another Reagan gift.
The Republican Party:
Checking in on the president's family today as war spreads across the world and the global economy crashes
Exactly how the network could have mistaken the event is not clear, considering that the broadcasting software used to pull clips for air sorts them chronologically. trib.al/r5nm4AP
"it is hard to see on what moral grounds we claim the right to decide the fate of those overseas about whom we clearly care so little."

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Just in case y'all thought I was joking about Enrique Tarrio being a snitch for the government...

Idiot. You should be ashamed for voting for this POS that enabled the killing of your son. An awful story, more awful because of this terrible moron
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.
How the hell did this happen?
Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.
“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review.
Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”
Not to repeat myself but: DHS lies brazenly because lying brazenly works
It's what police depts around the country do on a regular basis when they have unfavorable facts. Honed to perfection, amplified by media stenographers.
Recall, this is how they initially described George Floyd's murder:
The Right Wing is motivated by an arrested development where they become dependent on authoritarian adults to rule over them and then, in adulthood, are desperate to find dictators to step in to replace those adults and allow them the freedom of unfreedom and to functionally remain children.

Rep Stansbury: “The president & his admin can’t explain a legal justification for an eminent threat that gave them the authority to use the military—
They can’t provide an explanation of their war plan — they can’t explain why they’ve killed over 200 civilians — the president needs to be impeached”
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
So we have yet another incident where a US citizen was shot and killed by ICE, and the official ICE account differs from bodycam footage.
This is the story that took nearly a year to break and now we have the bodycam footage.
Cops are great
New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.
