It’s a fricking wedding party and the groom makes all the groomsmen wear the same thing down to every accessory

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

The service member, who was not publicly identified while the military notifies relatives, was seriously injured on March 1 when Iran struck a Saudi military base where American troops were stationed, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The service member died on Saturday night from those injuries while military health officials were preparing a transfer for more advanced medical care at a U.S. military hospital in Germany, officials said.

Did they really think they were just going to lob a few missiles at israel and call it a day. Iran will turn to asymmetric warfare, choosing the time and place of their attack while using weapons to impact economics of the US and middle east countries. War is a political measure. Political.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post β€” including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East β€” based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

They all think they are going to be revered like Miracle on Ice players were, but fallout from placating one of the most evil and immoral humans in documented history will be a stain on how they are remembered

Those unredacted files are coming, eventually. Ignorance isn't the excuse they think.

Wow. My wife’s work is only 6 miles from where the snowfall record was broken… and they are delayed opening. Meanwhile the department of public works just said they need another day to clear the roads. New York is not Virginia. But this seems unwise.

Bessett sucks.. β€œUltimate Corporate Welfare” my ass. The prices aren’t coming down. They’ll remain elevated enabling the corporations to rake in the money. And it didn’t cost them anything since they passed everything onto the consumer. Each state should sue on behalf of every household

He thus notches as a win that what the liberals call "context" (to differentiate IEEPA) looks a lot like Congress needing to speak clearly when it authorizes economically disruptive presidential actions.

Just because it might be a mess to undo doesn’t mean you let an unconstitutional situation stand.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

Intercepted call reveals Russian soldiers shot civilians near Pokrovsk, Ukrainian intelligence says Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence directorate published an audio intercept it says confirms another war crime committed by Russian forces. According to the intercepted call, two servicemen from Russia’s army shot local civilians in the Pokrovsk area and then left their positions without authorization. The information is confirmed in the conversation by an officer of the 30th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of Russia’s 3rd Army, the agency said. In the recording, a Russian soldier speaks openly about the crime and warns fellow troops about the fugitives: β€œLook, there are two β€˜pencils,’ two β€˜pencils’ β€” they might come into your area. Those b------ shot civilians and fled.” The intercept also includes an order to detain the soldiers involved. The officer tells subordinates to seize them immediately if spotted: β€œSo if you see them, detain them as soon as they cross your path β€” tie them up.” Ukraine’s military intelligence said systematic killings of civilians, as well as extrajudicial reprisals against Russia’s own servicemen, again demonstrate that war crimes are a deliberate, targeted policy. It added that every crime committed against the Ukrainian people will be met with inevitable, just retribution. Two days earlier, two people were killed in Donetsk region by Russian shelling.
