Secretary of Warfighting Pete Hegseth will solemnly perform ten (10) pushups for every American soldier lost in this war.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

I am sure the views of the 49% who say they are opposed will have proportionate representation in our finest news outlets

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

They seem to have no perspective whatsoever; they'd probably be in favor banning of Shakespeare.

One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong.

Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Lawmakers Demand DHS Define ‘Domestic Terrorist’ As It Uses Vast Array of Surveillance Tools Rep. Bennie G. Thompson and a host of other Democrats made the demand in a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. “Your actions are abhorrent, blatantly unconstitutional, and corrosive to the functionin...

NEW: Renée Good and Alex Pretti, two US citizens DHS officers killed, were labelled as "domestic terrorists."

Now, a group of more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers have demanded the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Kristi Noem provide its definition of “domestic terrorist."

It's pretty awesome stuff for wakefulness. I'm told it keeps you awake without the jitters of too much caffeine and without the god complex from speed.

The AF tested it for a while but I think they still prefer some sort of speed for long missions.

Yes please!!

There's too much criticism from outside the movement but not enough from inside and they only listen to the neo liberal BS from the outside.

1) no, actually, Sam, that’s not correct

2) even if it were what a load-bearing “as long as”

McGowan: There's three people mentioned most in the Epstein files: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. But we're deposing Hillary Clinton?

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
