love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

HOLY FUCK WE ARE TAKING THE SENATE

A draft will not happen but people fucking hate thinking about one

Do it before the midterms so we can win!

the U.S. military has been undermanned for years, we are absolutely unready for any kind of meaningful conflict. i imagine the regime will back out before they try to force a draft. it would not go well for them.

North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.

He's just a parody of Colin Jost's parody of him at this point.

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

I don't have the intellectual compacity you mean.

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

White House blocks intelligence report warning of rising US homeland terror threat linked to Iran war

You should probably have a graduate degree AND experience if you're going to be a cabinet secretary.

It's a fair criticism. If you want someone to be in charge of our homeland security, they need some education or at least experience.

Noem's bungling proves too much even for Trump Accountability is still possible.

Embarrassing attention to Noem's ostentatious venality, not her sadistic treatment of immigrants, is what finally led Trump to fire her
That's a hint of how politically vulnerable Trump is to a congressional airing of his profiteering in office. Another reason for Trump to fear a fair Nov election

That seems likely.

My old pharmacy switched it because it makes me sick for some reason. The new one was like that doesn't exist. It turned out okay because this time it didn't make me feel ill.

I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

My new pharmacy said they couldn't separate hydrocodone and Tylenol lol

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noem’s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the “emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

just a reminder that there is actually a very good reason that Noem should have already been fired over the $220 million ad campaign which she made the mistake of telling everyone Trump approved, but whatever works i guess

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

They're not acting like it's a firing to save face.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I'm starting to think the FIFA Peace Prize doesn't really mean that much, to be honest.

Hey this is tonight!

He'll feel better when his mommy gives him a best politician award at a republican fundraising dinner.

In honor of Rep. Trevor Lee going 0 and 12 for bills during the 2026 Legislature, I have composed this haiku:

Twelve bills, all dead now
Even your party said no
Ha ha, I can't breathe

One of the first things I learned as a professor is that accommodations don’t make the class/assessment easier — they just make it inclusive. Doing a moral panic on accommodations is just gross and ableist.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The next leader of Iran

Unfortunately one of the funniest things he has ever said

Never trust ANYONE who says they know what God is thinking

They're not brave and not heros.
