I feel like Graham Platner's weird and fucked up posts about war don't get enough attention, so here they are, and also its worth pointing out he was calling Iraq a fun adventure where he killed people (fun!) in 2020, he registered his Senate website less than 3 years later in April 2023
It used to be a pretty rare thing to call a president directly. But since the US attacked Iran two weeks ago, Trump has answered more than three dozen phone calls from journalists representing at least a dozen outlets.

Text reads chem test today, I’m prepared to cheat on the whole thing. They’re already in the classroom and it seems too late to stop them from cheating.
They’ve decided to cheat with ChatGPT, saying: “Hello chat, I’m going to upload four pictures and a couple of minutes (they probably meant in.. omg 😭) I need you to give me the answers for every problem, do not explain how to get the answer, just show me the answer and the slight work for it if it needs it. If it’s an ABCD question, immediately give me the answer.” ChatGPT replies: “Got it” and gives them the instructions back in full and tells them to go ahead and upload the images.
They got their test back, their result is an F, who could’ve seen that coming right?
This text to ChatGPT reads: Chat let me know how I got an F. ChatGPT: You probably got an F, because many of the answers I gave you earlier were wrong. It then proceeds to show them the correct answers from the test.
A story in four parts. 😭
I can't have the croissants if I go visit a company for work
The crime is not just the killing of people who surrender. The crime is telling the enemy that if they surrender, they will be killed. Because when the enemy hears that they cannot surrender peaceably, the war changes from a strategic conflict to a blood-soaked deathmatch.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.
This is a good article and I'm proud of @juliaangwin.com (whom I have known since college) for suing.

We're going to pay about $3.5 Billion per year in interest to borrow the $93B Pete Heseth blew in his September spending bender.

The thing about this is (1) Hegseth manages to look bad regardless, and (2) even if he didn't, turning these things into clown shows means fewer people are going to bother with it, so it's less effective as propaganda.
The "neutral" press *help* competent administrations get their message out.
In the 2010s both the US and Israel assessed that a war on Iran would be disastrous and become a regional war, that Iran could retaliate by striking US assets in the region, encouraging resistance groups to strike US/Israel and close the Strait of Hormuz - literally everything that’s happening now
Trump posted this meme.
Obama’s Iran deal did unfreeze Iran’s own money, but allowed for nuclear inspectors so they wouldn’t ever get a nuclear bomb.
Trump tore up the deal, started a war in Iran, and now 13 U.S. soldiers are dead.
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.
Am I stupid or does this just make the MAD calculation of blocking Hormuz a lot easier
Living in Scandinavia, I find myself morbidly fascinated by American progressives' inability to understand—or acknowledge—that the secret to a healthy, functioning welfare state is broad middle-class buy-in. Everyone pays something—some more than others; everyone gets something—some more than others
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
On this day in 1835, Missouri enacted a law requiring free Black residents to obtain a license to remain in the state. Those who did not faced fines, imprisonment, and expulsion from Missouri.

Q: You made a post about Claudia Sheinbaum refusing your help in Mexico. What's your plan with Mexico?
TRUMP: Well, she should not have refused my help
Remember when Trump sued ABC, Meta, X, & Paramount, & they all settled for millions?
That money was supposed to go to Trump’s future presidential library fund—but that has been dissolved with no sign of where the money went.
@warren.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, & I are demanding answers!
He voted for Kristi Noem to give her a chance. How did that work out?
See, he can learn things!
JD Vance: "Joe Biden left us in a terrible situation, and the reason why gas prices are where they are today is because of Donald Trump's work to get them lower."
Not like they have any experience countering Iranian drones ...
