To the crews of those tankers: good luck with the sea mines and drones, but don’t worry. If you’re attacked, your boss is insured.

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

"We 'support' our troops by sending them into illegal wars since 1990!"

Perhaps Republicans can fire some howitzers over I-5 in Los Angeles again.

Apparently murdering a couple Trump supporters at one of his rallies for a photo op is fine.

Big week for Military Industrial Complex executives and investors. Lots of people about to make a lot of money off American taxpayers from Trump’s Iran War.

"I think congressional Republicans honoring their oaths of office would be a terrible, dangerous idea."

Thank you to Wesley Hunt for making it a 3-way race and forcing an expensive and brutal runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton,

The Democratic Party

More softening the ground for "boots on the ground."

"Oligarchs demand that the non-wealthy die for their greed, and since we accepted bribes from them, we are obliged to force the non-wealthy to do that."

What? Maersk isn't trusting the word of a con man?

I guess murdering citizens then lying about them didn't poll very well for Republicans.

This administration keeps forcing us to study up on maritime law, by boasting that it doesn’t care about those laws

I expect there will be a lot of opportunity for advancement in the military once we imprison those involved in committing crime on Trump's behalf.

Thank you for letting me know he's on Bluesky.

Blocked him on Twitter and blocking him here too now.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.

He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.

(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

This bullshit is exactly what we’ll face in the midterms. So plan ahead. If yr state has early voting, vote early. If yr state has ballot drop boxes, use them. If you vote by mail, do it as soon as possible. Before anything, check that yr voter registration is in order (incl. updated address).

DON'T GET COMPLACENT!!

Early turnout like this makes ppl think they don't need to vote!!

WE MUST SHOW THEM WHAT AN EFFEN MANDATE IS!!

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

IRGC Destroys Second US THAAD System in Gulf, Wipes Out UAE Radar and $1.1 Billion Qatar Early Warning Shield — Iran Declares Missile Dominance - Defence Security Asia IRGC precision strikes reportedly destroy a second US THAAD system, its UAE radar, and Qatar’s $1.1 billion early warning system, exposing fractures in America’s Gulf missile defence architecture and ...

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Check out the number of votes.

Hey, the wealthiest US citizens worked for decades for this result.

Rubio screwed up Sunday by saying the quiet part out loud. Then shit hit the fan - especially with MAGA. It caused problems for Netanyahu. Now he’s trying to say that what he said he didn’t really say. It’s on video. He said what he said. Now he’s lying. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Marco Rubio isn't just a criminal.

He's also a dumb ass.

The problem is that this admin never plans ahead because they play checkers not chess. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I wish lying about war crimes as a public official was also a war crime.
