Speaking of misogyny, it's like climate people are the woman who just need to be more beautiful, sexy, charming, irresistible, flawless, understanding so the man will behave himself. No pressure on the man to stop the bad behavior.

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran?

CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

The US Navy faces a very plausible risk of significant surface combatant losses in a future great power conflict. Not the precedent you want to be setting here.

Today has made it clear how completely our elite class has accepted that Trump is king, with total dominion over world affairs, that we either rise or fall at his command, and that our role is to wait with bated breath for him to pronounce his judgement.

I think this is true but also in a strategic sense, pretty clearly an Iranian victory: we threw everything at them and proved we could not dislodge them.

The question will be if the administration can succeed at spinning it as a success, rather than the defeat it is (I kinda suspect yes?)

It would be up to politicians and journalists to say, "hey, for the lives lost and tremendous cost - both direct and more broadly economic - what did we get out of this?" and I frankly do not have a lot of faith that they will drive that message.

Do you love the dark?

Do you yearn for sunset with the night growing deeper all around you?

Our ancestors knew the world of magic that is only revealed when we put aside the lights, phones, torches and step out into the night

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Brann says the administration's refusal to use some of the undisputedly legal ways to staff the NJ office could result in "scores of dangerous criminals" having their cases dismissed, but that it comes down to Trump simply not wanting to be countermanded.

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.

He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

Downing Street aide: "So, how do we get voters back on side following the evisceration handed out by voters in Gorton and Denton?"

Keir Starmer: "I think we should attack the vulnerable by stripping their legal protections?"

Aide: "I'm not sure that will..."

How would an #economy function if it was *actually* oriented to the flourishing of people and planet, regardless of the profits, rather than the death cult that aims for profit regardless of the impact on people and planet?

Why do we all think this was 'unintentional'?

Netenyahu showed that you can slaughter children with impunity and we have a stridently misogynist, islamophobic, warmongering group of Dark Triads who like abusing girls.

Seems this was totally deliberate.
