I unscrapped scrapping my article about Charles Sonny Burton, and wrote about a different positive aspect of the commutation of his death sentence:

It's another signal that Americans are ready to stop executing people for murders they didn't commit

Will the Iran War Be Netanyahu’s Undoing? The prime minister isn’t just fighting the Islamic Republic. He’s fighting the Israeli judiciary, his own coalition, and the clock.

Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to make the Iran war work to his political advantage—but there’s a good chance he’ll fail, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues.

The #EU announced the €75M EURO-3C project at MWC 2026 to build Europe’s first large-scale federated Telco-Edge-Cloud infrastructure, boosting digital sovereignty and innovation in 6G, AI, and cybersecurity with 87 consortium members.

Live updates: Iran’s ship attacks worsen economic concerns as countries tap oil reserves Iran attacked commercial ships across the Persian Gulf and targeted Dubai International Airport, escalating a campaign of squeezing the oil-rich region as global energy concerns mounted.

Have no illusions: the U.S. cannot guarantee safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. That’s why the world just authorized the largest oil reserve release in history. Iran has had years to plan how to close that chokepoint. Reassurances from Trump should fool no one. #Iran #Trump #ForeignPolicy

Oklahoma used to occasionally have a decent politician in DC. One of them was Sen. David Boren. He was big on ag issues and came to the ranch a few times, where I got to know him a little bit while growing up. It was help that got me into a service academy.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

None of us can trust that our government is speaking truth. – but imagine being a loved one of a service member hanging on every empty word.

Why is anyone taking his word for ANYTHING right now. Get a war correspondant to Ramstein to verify casualties and etc. Are they not allowing embedded journalists?

JUST NOW:

Q: "You just said it's a little excursion and you said it's a war. So which one is it?"

Trump: "Well, it's both. It's both. It's an excursion that will keep us out of a war ... for them it's a war. For us, it's turned out to be easier than we thought."

Trust, Coalition, And The Crockett–Talarico Divide Why rebuilding trust may be harder than winning the primary.

Texans, do not allow the bots to divide us!

🚨 I just submitted my testimony. It's not showing up yet, but the vast majority of the testimony on the site is opposed, which is **very bad.**

Please submit testimony on CT HB 5044 - how to do so is at the end of the 🧵 below. Here is what I wrote, if you want to crib (See below):

How comfortable would you feel walking through a field if someone told you "We took out most of the mines"

Why is nobody double checking these casualty numbers? Who is flying into Ramstein?

With US defenses stretched, Iran may believe Israel is now more exposed and that the cost of defending it becomes politically harder for the US to sustain across all parties. Historically the US has found it very difficult to abandon Israel but with Trump there is an opportunity for betrayal.

Iran's leadership believes its ballistic missile and drone strikes have successfully degraded key US radar systems and depleted interceptor stockpiles. They've effectively pushed back the US. Officials are now weighing a strategic shift toward Israeli targets in the coming days.

The US and Israel illegal war of aggression has entered its 11th day, so far 1,245 Iranian civilians, including 194 children have been killed by US and Israel.

Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, Donald Trump:

"You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."

Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.

Trump's US Energy Secretary Chris Wright:

"We have reached out to our friends in India to buy stored Russian oil. "

Witkoff admits he and Jared Kusher are communicating with Russia through Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov "independently." Witkoff goes on to say the Russians told them they are not sharing info with Iran. Pinky promised.

The moment a US sailor in Bahrain realized the other side has missiles too. Another angle of the US 5th fleet getting hit by Iran.

“Haha … oh shit!”

/ This correspondence (looking at wound cultures from 120+ Ukrainian drone casualties) suggests that the worst bacteria aren't getting into the wound at the time of the blast, but being picked up along the evacuation process (and we need to rethink our point of injury care).

A major issue becomes antimicrobial resistance because standard of care generally is to provide a broad spectrum antibiotic at the point of injury. We saw this in US casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan and, unsurprisingly, Ukraine is seeing the same issue. /

This is a pretty big deal, and generally overlooked but when a massive proportion of your casualties are from blast injuries (drones from above) you end up with bad stuff inside those wounds that can cause terrible infections that take months or years to treat:

Chinese FM and Qatari FM/PM have held a call addressing the developments of the military escalation in the region.

Qatar FM reiterated the condemnation of the Iranian attacks on Qatari territory and that they are unacceptable under any pretext or justification.

Reportedly. The DOJ is citing the war with Iran as the reason they cannot release more Epstein files. #WarofDistraction
