I heard the audio. He said it.

The confidence that White House officials had that the shipping lanes could stay open is surprising given that Mr. Trump authorized a military campaign last year against the Houthis, a Yemeni group backed by Iran, that had used missile and drone attacks to bring maritime commerce in the Red Sea to a halt.
It's not surprising if you haven't been sanewashing him for over a decade, so I guess on some level the NYT really is that credulous.
We're governed by morons: "…as President Trump weighed whether to launch military attacks on Iran, Chris Wright, the energy secretary, told an interviewer he was not concerned that the looming war might disrupt oil supplies in the Middle East and wreak havoc in energy markets."
This is not me saying Americans are great. I mean we voted in a sclerotic President who is being puppet mastered into murdering people off of the coast of Venezuela, waging an illegal war against Iran, denying a bunch of countries health care I can go on.
SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: 60% of Americans have concerns about election integrity

But I will delve one yard below their mines,
And blow them at the moon.
The world is being set on fire by a 79 year old with a ten year old’s vocabulary whose adult advisors interact with him like he’s a hangry toddler who skipped his nap.

After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
Any answer other than “the president is a historically stupid man only now he has dementia” is journalistic malpractice
JUST IN: Democrats have flipped a Trump+9 seat in the New Hampshire House, per reporter Kevin Landrigan.
Republicans outspent Dems by a considerable margin.

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

Since we're talking Polio.
In 2016 I got a Polio booster. The shot we get is considered "good enough" if you're living in places where polio is eradicated, but a booster is considered a good idea if you're going to places where Polio is still actively circulating.

“Steve Bannon courted Epstein in his efforts to ‘take down’ Pope Francis” 2/17/26 www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/w...
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
