in fairness that's not exactly DoD's job on paper, but that's also why you have an interagency involving State and others that scopes the bounds for a conflict which are transmitted from the APNSA to SD; this is what happens when instead of that you have 3 marcos rubio in a trenchcoat

Travelers Stranded by War Learn Insurance Won't Cover Flight Cancellations As the war in Iran grounds flights worldwide, hundreds of thousands of travelers scrambling to get home are discovering a harsh reality: their travel insurance won’t cover replacement flights or exten...

Lots of folks sadly learning that travel insurance doesn't cover losses from war or armed conflict. @bloomberg.com gift link:

W/n last 48 hrs 4 families received notifications that forever changed their lives. 2 more will shortly; their unit is still very much in the fight. It is impractical to expect protection everywhere, but we should expect leaders to talk about the gravity of these losses with sincerity and reverence.

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

Order confirmed this morning for some @jamestalarico.bsky.social Senate race merch. James was my Texas House Rep. till the Republicans gerrymandered him out of my district. No matter, he won in his new district, too. Good luck with your messy runoff, R's. 😃

Just imagining Crenshaw and MTG meeting up in a sad hotel bar in Northern Virginia after a lame MAGA-autograph conference and getting sad drunk and one of them saying, We really had it all, didn’t we?

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

The MAGA version of conservative is an insult to the word "conservative."

Yes, indeed.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

Having a MAD Greens salad and a Manhattan for dinner while streaming Steve Kornacki live on YouTube, as he covers a competitive Texas Democratic primary for the US Senate. Lots of things in the world are NOT great right now, but this is.

I mean when has a hopeful moment of popular uprising against a despised regime ever given way to a new revolutionary government that came to be just as corrupt and repressive and sclerotic as the one it replaced. Certainly never before in Iran.

Given the multiple disasters in every direction, the husband and I split a sleeve of Girl Scout Thin Mints, because why the hell NOT? 🤷‍♀️

Anyone working in "news" or "politics" needs to finally wrap their minds around the idea that X isn't reaching anyone that matters. You're wasting your time pitching no one. You're wasting your money pitching no one.

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.

this is just who they are

they do bad things everywhere all the time because they are evil and stupid and constantly indulging their very worst impulses

there’s no twelve dimensional plan here

Trump’s Enormous Gamble on Regime Change in Iran A few paths to success, many to failure

First impression: This is regime change, lots of ways for it to go wrong, a few it could go right, but at huge risk:
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Surprised to see that Trump, who is usually so deliberate and thoughtful, has decided to create a world where kidnapping or killing world leaders is a normalized method of handling threats.
