Massive high five to @jasmineforus.bsky.social. This is the best chance Texans have had to elect a Democrat to a state-wide office in decades, and this kind of unity is critical for making that happen. Saw the best Ds in NYC come together to crush Cuomo; love to see that energy in TX.

Sorry to get all Michael Burry on you, but I have been waiting for a giant exogenous macroeconomic shock to finally pull the pin on the global private credit / AI funding grenade.

I'm not saying this is it. But if I were writing the script, this sure as heck is a plausible trigger.

Many MAGA influencers have suddenly changed their minds about foreign wars...

This fuckery in the Texas primary is a preview of the fuckery you’re going to see in November if there are elections at all.

NEW: The US and Israel are striking Iran’s drone and missile facilities to reduce the pressure on missile and drone interceptors – a capability the US is denying Ukraine by refusing to provide Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Who Is Mojtaba Khamenei, the Son and Possible Successor of Iran’s Supreme Leader? The selection of the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike on his compound on Saturday, could anger Iranians seeking change.

Mojtaba Khamenei, a son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, appears to be a front-runner to become his father’s successor. Known for having close ties to the Revolutionary Guards, Mr. Khamenei first joined the Islamic military corps around 1987 after finishing high school.

Trump installed a secular communist dictator in Venezuela. Now he’s about to install a Muslim fundamentalist dictator in Iran. Has there ever been a more fairminded president?

Democrats say Donald Trump has spiked prices, taken massive bribes, started a war, and killed American civilians. These swing voters say that’s missing the point.

"To eliminate this not only proliferation-minded, barbaric regime, but to eliminate its international terrorist threat, is ample justification," John Bolton says. "If it were explained to the American people, they would support. That hasn't happened yet." https://to.pbs.org/4l7AOFR

Trump and Hegseth have everything figured out. We got strategic geniuses running this operation.

At this point the only justification for this is that Trump wants a, or is not currently happy enough with his, big cut of this traffic

JD Vance in 2023: Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Rafael Mariano Grossi & @ @rafael...•2h X I have been very clear and consistent in my reports on Iran's nuclear programme: while there has been no evidence of Iran building a nuclear bomb, its large stockpile of near-weapons grade enriched uranium and refusal to grant my inspectors full access are cause for serious concern. For these reasons, my previous reports indicate that unless and until Iran assists the @IAEAorg in resolving the outstanding safeguards issues, the Agency will not be in a position to provide assurance that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful.

That’s a big mission the Navy probably doesn’t have the force for while offensive operations are ongoing.

The perils of Donald Trump’s pivot from peace to war president If the war fails to pay off politically, will he cut his losses or double down?

Democratic opposition will grow louder as the war in the Middle East drags on. Even some on the right could sour quickly if the situation worsens—and there are many ways it could
