BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Once again: this is @davidjbier.bsky.social, of the [Even the Conservative...] @cato.org, an expert on immigration policy who has been providing data based expertise on the issue of immigration for a while now.
First, it was Georgia.
Now, it’s Arizona.
This President is trying to cast doubt on the 2020 elections in order to justify interfering in 2026.
We will not let him get away with it.
“Unions representing electricians and plumbers and pipefitters have seen their ranks soar due the influx of data centers, but organized labor doesn’t get a seat on the commission. Democrats won’t have much of a voice on the commission either.”

The Pentagon ID'd the 7th American service member killed in the Iran war. Also confirms that an attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on March 1 did happen, which the military had not previously confirmed. taskandpurpose.com/news/7th-us-...

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

‘Revvin’ up the wheelbarrow & headin’ for the pantry…we’ll see ‘bout stockpiles.’:MeanCat Diaries 🌸😻
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
Barack Obama: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope — each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law — an offense to common decency — If we don't step up, no one else will"
Totally, the BEST pic today. Explains MeanCat’s wheelbarrow shenanigans earlier. Good work, MeanCat. 😻💐💐🌷
Just another member of the swamp, cosplaying as a tough guy. When what he actually is is a national embarrassment.
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Fuck this AI slop
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

Democratic attorneys general and governors from 23 states sued President Donald Trump to once again block the administration's tariffs, claiming he is relying on an archaic 1974 law that was not intended to address trade deficits. www.courthousenews.com/states-sue-t...
If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, “Thank you.”
Our dear Rocksie died today…best cat ever. 🥲
😢Heartbreaking
Uh…looks like a ghost face in his belly…🙀…sure it’s fine…nothin’ to be concerned about…😻
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
Kristi Noem must go now.
It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability.
She believes she’s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents.
We demand answers.
The corruption is so deep and wide. It's disorienting.
