They should make a Wario who has an opinion on Iran.

The smartest take to have on a horrific war that will kill thousands and bankrupt us is... bemusement. Folks! They're bemused!

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

Incredible framing lol. Oh those opportunistic democrats!!!!!!

I love when a weak pun here gets thousands of likes. Yessss you're Uncle John's Bathroom Reader now yessssss

CNN gas tracker: $3.41

vibe check: CNN now has a gas tracker on their front page

Guy who gets paid 8 figures: actually it’s fine

republicans have literally made everything worse and harder and more terrible over the course of my entire life and somehow* they keep coming back to power bc of our feckless corporate press and a weak willed opposition 😒

*sob

the destruction of the entire worlds economy is a small price to pay for the massive victory of the son of the guy america assassinated to take over as leader

Tweet from Jacob N. Kornbluh: "Jewish People Policy Institute survey of 692 American Jews with relatively strong ties to the Jewish community, Jewish identity, or Israel: 68% support the U.S. decision to go to war against Iran, while 26% oppose it."

If you dig into this poll, reputedly the first poll of American Jews on the Iran War, it is not intended to represent all American Jews, but "connected" Jews, defined in the way this organization wants to define them. It's a poll intended to produce a certain result.

If they really want to win hearts and minds, they go on Dynamite and punch Don Callis right in the mush 🤷‍♀️ 🤼‍♂️

Forget going on Rogan, the big democratic nominee has to go on WWE and knockout Logan Paul

Normalize asking American tourists where they were on January 6th

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

devising a new social media platform where you get three energy to spend every turn, posts can attack or defend, and the goal of the platform is slightly more obviously about defeating other commenters than here

MRAs brought Trump to the White House, and now he's teasing a draft, the one thing those dorks bring up to show how men's lives are harder or whatever. They did it. All of us are or on a bad date where they mentioned how they need to wear a big hat to make up for height discrepancy.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Jake Tapper is using the framing of the past to discuss the present. In 2004 you had to support wars, in 2016 Trump jabbed at every candidate for voting for the Iraq War, a thing he himself would have absolutely done.

If it's about political survial, in 2026 the answer is really obvious!
