Thank you!

So, Trump is down to 38% approval in a new YouGov poll?
When Nixon hit just 38% approval in a Gallup poll, he was ~13 months from the eve of being impeached by the House.

I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

Those are just dry peanut cookies. Blergh

A big problem for incentives is that Biden was willing to pay the costs of the DC pundit class and Pentagon leakers attacking him in order to finally withdraw from Afghanistan, yet no one who supported that policy in theory appeared to give him any credit for it. Why would a president do that again?

👇🎯💯 This is the inescapable conclusion that <everyone> in 🇺🇸 politics & the entire national media cannot bring themselves to make. There is nothing Trump can do at this point to un-disqualify himself, & there are no laws Congress can pass to fix it.

The <only> mechanism is impeachment & removal.

Tillis is retiring, and I wish he would have run out of fucks to give long before today. But I'll take this, absolutely. More, please.

The war's limited objectives:
-Destroy nuclear program
-Degrade ballistic missile capabilities
-Bring the armies of the world together to fight at the End Times and bring about the return of Christ

Matt Walsh is having an absolute public meltdown today.

What I hope AI does it help us collectively realize is that doing good social science means we have to leave our offices

Congrats to these 4 strong law firms that refused to knuckle under. And to Princeton, Harvard, Wesleyan etc who've used their fame and resources to set that example in education. And governors and mayors. And district court and circuit-court judges. AND AMERICANS BY THE MILLIONS, across the country.

One of the weirder rationales for bombing Iran was to protect Americans in Iran, which seems ridiculous on its face. Hundreds of thousands of US citizens do live in the Middle East, and they are more likely to be in locations like this than in Iran.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

If JOHN BOLTON thinks your plan to bomb another country is half-assed, man, you really done fucked it up

The U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran are illegal.

Iran's attacks in Gulf States are illegal.

The U.K. defending Gulf States is legal, but allowing the U.S. to use its bases is illegal.

In short, everyone is violating international law and should stop.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

WTF
“Round up the Muslims”???

They’re really trying to do drive-thru colonization

yes! thank you. i'm very worried this is going to turn into a humanitarian catastrophe on a massive scale, and quickly.

We killed all the possible leader replacements and have no plans for resupplying our munitions #Clownshow

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

Now that Khameini’s death is confirmed, will the regime collapse?

I would bet against it.

Khameini was v old, and both he/his lieutenants had been planning for the succession for some time. He had also delegated much of the gov work to others before the strikes in case he was killed/incommunicado
