On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.

FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON

CBS’ Mamdani Mania Under Bari Weiss’ leadership, CBS News staffers are increasingly worried the network’s editorial priorities are mirroring The Free Press, particularly in coverage of New York mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Some CBS News staffers worry Bari Weiss is steering coverage toward The Free Press’ priorities, particularly on Mamdani

“It feels pretty clear that Bari Weiss views her role…as being a political adversary to the mayor,” a source close to Mamdani told Status

The Post and Courier, which is leading the investigative work on the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child, looks into the woman’s FBI interview and substantiates many details through public records

Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.

Grift upon grift upon grift

Oh

mfw brent crude hits $200 because you didn't know Iranians could blow up oil refineries in Bahrain by strapping a small explosive to $1000 consumer grade drones

Andrew Cuomo has been uncharacteristically quiet of late, now that you mention it….

What do you call it when you give an elderly pedophile unconstrained authority over the federal government?

Making America Great Again!

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

This morning: “We’re gonna blow the hell outta these people.”

Tonight: “Please be careful.”

I think this war could destroy his presidency--I've never felt this about any other issue. He and his gang of nihilist greedhead idiots have finally gotten themselves into something they can't get out of. But the cost will, on every level, be staggering.

We really are in the nothing matters era and it’s a fucking hellscape

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

Are you fucking kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? This got covered up for SEVEN YEARS?

"Voting patterns in the 2024 US presidential election also played a major role. Trump voters overwhelmingly supported the war, with 99% backing the US decision. Harris voters were far more divided, with 47% supporting the war and 42% opposing it. JPPI uses “connected American Jews” to mean respondents who are more engaged in Jewish communal life and more attentive to Israel and Jewish issues than the broader public. The group does not represent all US Jews."

To be honest, given how this organization defined the universe of Jews they consider worthy of polling, the fact that a quarter of these Jews still oppose the Iran War seems pretty noteworthy.

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.

Literally the “This is not who we are…oh no” tweet for real

HOPPERS: best Pixar film since COCO. Fun, sweet, good message for kids, well developed characters, wacky, very funny.

“Oooo flimsy Steve, where have you been Pokémon go to the polllllls”

I guess calling something a "surprising and disappointing development" is a way to sound smart while saying "I was wrong as fuck"

Get out the hat

I absolutely positively think if Americans travel abroad people should ask who they voted for. Come on big boy pants, you clearly felt good doing it in the booth. Look at the world you made! The world you’re traveling in!

Ohhh fuck yeah. This is the energy that gives me bliss.

EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel · 29m Enrique Tarrio, adjudicated terrorist and seditionist whom Trump pardoned, responds to my tweet by claiming he doesn't read my shit. 🤪 Quote Enrique Tarrio @NobleOne · 2h Replying to @emptywheel Reminder: No one reads your shit.

Incidentally, Tarrio doesn't like when people talk about his conviction as a seditionist terrorist.

Also, by "ratioed" he meant about 10 of his boyfriends calling me the r-word like cavemen.

Not for nothing, but going to NORTHERN IRELAND to "get away from politics" is such a spectacular self-own that I can't even come up with a satisfactory metaphor
