Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS?

…And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people?

Oh wait…🥴

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

He thought he would be elevated to a position of power.
He ended up being a side model on the White House QVC Network.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Yes... there were violent acts on Jan 6

My message to Zuck

A pardon is seen as an acknowledgement that, yes, a crime was committed. I doubt that any of these people want a pardon, because they did nothing wrong.

Wait, wait, now it's South Korea, with Syria and Georgia in the wings....

But definitely not a "deep state" kind of thing.

RNC speaker Pam Bondi was once in a 16-month custody battle over a dog with Hurricane Katrina victims Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to return a St. Bernard she adopted from a rescue shelter to the family it belonged to.

Pam Bondi refused to return their dog to a family of Katrina victims after she "adopted" their dog. She fought them in court for 16 months before she gave the dog back. Disqualifying. Character counts. www.businessinsider.com/rnc-speaker-...

Of course, it doesn't matter to Gateway Pundit that they fell for a ruse. Their readers are still happy to read that a liberal public figure has supposedly lost it, and those readers will probably pass it along within their echo chambers, promoting GP anyway.

In December 2017, Congress voted on a bill to combat human sex trafficking.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously.

The bill passed the House, 418 to 1.

The 1 "no" vote was Matt Gaetz.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

I fear we are choosing to become the United States of Simplicio.

Perry called a big press conference to describe his big goals for the DOE (opening up more oil drilling, etc). It took reporters to inform him, "That's not what the Department of Energy does. You're thinking of the Dept. of the Interior."

He still took the position anyway.

Recall Jan 2017: Trump bragged that his cabinet would have “by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever assembled.”

so many ppl have left twitter they should call it ex
