1) This is why you don’t attack and demean your allies. You might need them someday.
2) If you are planning a military operation that could use some help from allies, it’s customary to add those countries to your coalition BEFORE you launch the attack.
We need return-to-home laws for detained or incarcerated people.
Law and immigration enforcement should NOT be allowed to dump people wherever it's convenient & cheap for the agency.

Absolutely. No one even takes Fetterman seriously enough to address the content of what he said, but it's really stupid. It would be both self-defeating and criminal for the US to just murder the new Iranian leader straight away.
And I guess now they'll have Crosby's contract back on their books. They hadn't planned on that.
This is an organization that is in love with their current roster. They are determined to run it back with what is already one of the oldest rosters in the league.
It's a bold strategy for a team that won 12 one-score games last year, and has a much tougher schedule in '26.
The horror Israel/US has unleashed on Iran is going to unfold over time, over generations x.com/arianajasmin...

Whatever the reason, I thought it worked brilliantly. Best scene of the season.
Totally agree
Skylar wasn't shallow.
Exciting news for infectious disease enthusiasts: measles is back in Colorado after years of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:
Outrageous ignorance by Hegseth. Any competent government official knows that asserting the civilian population is safe is Step #1 in a war.
And his “answer” only indicts him further.
If it’s true that Russia helping Iran target US forces is an easier problem to solve than college sports, then how scandalous is it that the commander in chief is just letting that problem fester?
Why doesn’t he pick up the phone and call Putin??
But the state does have an interest in its schools teaching truthfully. You wouldn’t leave it up to each individual science teacher as to whether they taught evolution or not.
😂 Perfect. No notes.
I recommend the audiobook version. It's read by the author, and it's clear from her narration how much she enjoyed writing the book and sharing it with the world.
Why are Dems nitpicking about the insensitivity of the theme?
The issue is that it is outrageous that a cabinet official is doing partisan fundraising at all!
Especially the Sec. of Defense, when our nation--not just the Republican Party--is at war.
It sounds to me like the US and Israel are goading the Kurds to attack, but the Kurds aren't exactly chomping at the bit to get mowed down in open desert land.
US/Israel: "Ready, go!"
Kurds: "Um, gonna need a bit more time."

No, she blames Iran for backing the insurgency in Iraq that killed so many Americans. It was right there in the article.
She said she believes that Iran fueled and funded the insurgency in Iraq that killed so many Americans. THAT is what she thinks one has to do with another. You may fault her geopolitical analysis, but she's not a "slobbering moron" or a racist.
She specifically said she believes that Iran fueled and funded the insurgency that killed so many Americans. She's not blaming Iran because they are Muslim/Persian.
we should bring back not “having truck with ___.” there’s so much stuff i want to have no truck with.
I know it's far down on the list of offenses, but the fact that he announces the most consequential and deadly serious of government actions - a new WAR - while wearing one of his stupid fucking branded baseball caps is just so vulgar and repulsive.
I used that term to include veterans and military contractors, since some of the comments referenced contractors.
Pete Hegseth doesn't sound like any previous SecDef. Not even close.
I feel like i could post a million links pointing how Hegseth himself is using this language and why he’s doing it and you guys would still be in here doing whatever this is. My advice is to do something more productive like trying to fit more of your resume in your handle
It's not about what you military insiders heard. We ignorant cake-eaters also read DoD press releases and watch Hegseth's speeches, and we KNOW that he doesn't sound ANYTHING like any previous secretary. Why is this so hard for to understand?
His point is we civilians didn’t constantly hear it the internal usage means zilch. Previous secretaries used normal words like soldiers or sailors etc when addressing the public. I’d definitely heard the term every once and again prior to Hegseth but he’s right that it’s constant now.
