Elizabeth Warren: "We have Republicans, in theory, they could stand up to him. But I say 'in theory.' It's the most spineless bunch of people I've ever seen."

"you don't actually care about Asia and Africa"

Russian and Chinese weapons are currently slaughtering civilians in Myanmar and the Russian Federation's "Africa Corps" is propping up dictatorships in the Sahel but go off about how you're more worldly than I am

The alternative to Pax Americana is arms proliferation and militarization in the face of actually existing imperialism

Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

It's plain boring. Asthetically, it does look nice, but this is the same franchise that had a war between the US, China, and Russia, which was recieved well. I'd feel so much more connected to the story as a PLA soldier fighting in Boston Common (as much ss that wouldn't make geographical sense).

thinking about how this DOD is purging women from command in the military while its women joining up that helped close the recruitment shortfall in the last couple years

Only difference is that the photo ops on New Caprica weren't nearly as clean looking as this.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Idk about you, but I blame the idiot who withdrew us from the JCPOA.

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

We’re really dialing back the clock to an 18th century military where your commission is based on how much money you have and how many political connections you can conjure up

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Happy D-Day to all of those that celebrate!

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers.

Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

Lee Jae-myung going beast mode

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Drives me up a wall seeing the right wingers who completely reject the “city on a hill” ethos claim to be pro “American exceptionalism.” It’s total opposition to everything that makes America special just wrapped in the stars & stripes to distract the rubes

Live look of the army (they just cut a bunch of armor for dumb golden dome):

Pentagon announces that it has formally accepted the "palace in the sky" jet from Qatar. Plain and simple violation of the Emoluments Clause without congressional approval. Don't think this is over.

Straight burning America's competitive advantages to the ground

My name is Eileen Laubacher and I’m running to defeat Lauren Boebert because I took an oath to defend our Constitution against all threats, foreign and domestic – even when those threats are sitting members of Congress.

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments.

It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

Actual quotes just now from Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services:

“My opinions for vaccines are irrelevant.”

“I don’t think people should take medical advice from me.”

You can’t make this shit up.

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.
