The standard response for a lot of progressives was to deflect from these issues so it's a good start.

Progressives who haven't thought that much about natsec but have good advisers is how we win

This is genuinely one of the best reasoned pieces of writing on US-Taiwan relations by anyone running for Congress I’ve seen in recent years. Even as someone who believes that strategic ambiguity has value in 2026.

Everyone, go check out @katmabu.bsky.social!

Who is advising Kat and how can we get them everywhere

oh no

Iran has ratified the NPT. That's not the issue here and it's insane that the person deciding whether we go to war doesn't understand that.

ok

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

one time I said "it's INDOPACOVER" and someone called me a stupid canadian

kinda surprised we haven't yeeted more f-18s off of flight decks yet

people should eat more organs/cheap cuts though and stop being so squeamish about them.

Tongue is good tho

"most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive"

big if true

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

We might go to war with Iran tomorrow, so what’s the SECDEF up to?

The SECDEF:

transparency turning into target lists was always a dilemma but even more so now that we bombed them once and assembled what we need to do it again

idk how we're supposed to negotiate a nuclear deal when anything the Iranians tell us about their facilities/material could be used to bomb them tomorrow

I will inhale at the piano

The article mentions the vote coming up and ngl a lot of you would probably agree that up until then Dems have been weak on pushing back against war with Iran

I get to join the ensemble??

tbf he does mention that

I heard it sucks

This is now making the rounds and for all the wrong reasons. The apparent intelligence claim and the common criticism are both badly oversimplified.

An ICBM is in many ways extremely similar to an expendable space launch vehicle (rocket). Engineering and scale of velocity needed are very close.

Congrats to apparent sister cities Denton, TX, and Groton, CT, for going green or whatever

So this is what it feels like when the TL is taken over by another country's politics

0.83x12=9.96

0.04 miles short, sorry no money.

Lawmakers say US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone Members of Congress say the U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Patrol drone.

Hey, remember that embarrassing thing we told you about the laser and the balloon? Yeah? Well, we did something even more embarrassing this time.

Whoops.
