The DoD is spending billions to build a shield to destroy missiles launched against the U.S. At least four of the companies awarded contracts so far are owned by a private equity firm founded by billionaire turned Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

After a year of berating and humiliating Ukraine, we could really use their help with drone warfare.

I have never watched Markwayne Mullin on TV without thinking "What a moron."

After adjusting for inflation, military funding this year will be 26% larger than under Obama's last year. That's more than $200 billion more for the military this year than when Obama left office.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

I thought they were sending the escorts to the straits of Hormuz

Russian gas tanker Arctic Metagaz on fire near Malta, doing a passable imitation of a sunset. It's widely suspected to be the work of Ukrainian artists as part of a continued installation called "Russian warship go fuck yourself". The crew is reportedly accounted for and has been rescued by the Maltese authorities.

Article I holds a lot of power, but one of the fundamental problems so far has been Article I Republicans being unwilling to use any of it against Article II Republicans

This is what it looks like when you threaten to start using that power. In the past, a threat has been enough to force compliance

Colin Gray, father of accused Georgia school shooter, found guilty of murder Colin Gray, 55, faces a maximum of 180 years in prison after a Barrow County jury found him guilty of 29 counts, including two counts of second-degree murder.

Breaking news: The father of a teenager accused of killing four people at a Georgia high school in 2024 was convicted of second-degree murder.

It’s a landmark victory as prosecutors attempt to bring charges against the parent of an alleged shooter.

We are very far from normal, my friends, but the language the judge uses here is shocking.

Any other time, this would fly through legal commentators with a collective gasp. Here and now, it's a Monday.

As measles spreads in South Carolina, RFK Jr’s allies work to gut vaccine laws Activists who dispute safety of vaccines are pushing to limit immunization requirements in schools

No, Leslie. Measles was eliminated in the U.S.

By Tesla's own math, it reveals that its robotaxis are 4x worse at driving than humans, with redactions hiding even more details | Fortune By NHTSA standards, the Tesla Robotaxis are 8x worse than human drivers.

About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.

if people are using classified information to place bets, then theoretically others can analyze betting behavior to find signals that reveal classified information.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

Are New Police Drone Programs A Big Help Or Big Brother? - Law360 Police are increasingly using drones as first responders to 911 calls, a practice they say helps them respond to crises much faster with far fewer officers, but that privacy advocates warn could lead to mass, warrantless surveillance.

"These drones are basically being pushed as flying cops, but a cop is not allowed to just take a peek in my backyard whenever they want,"EFF’s Beryl Lipton told @law360.bsky.social, nor are they “allowed to just be taking notes about what's going on in a private space."www.law360.com/articles/24...
