Wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants to the gym to conceal my sleeper build. All will be revealed in due time.

If a company developed a cure for cancer but did so without going through proper FDA protocols, no one would then say "oh it's bad that they did that, we don't want the drug." This is what Democrats sound like when they say regime change is good but Trump needs to go to congress first.

Israel imposes a strict blackout on showing war damages, so we don't see a lot of what's happening, but here is damage from a single Iranian missile in Beit Shemesh from ~5 hours ago. Israeli media reports 9 dead and 11 still missing.

Democrats should be flooding the airwaves right now about the American troops that have already been killed. This war is already unpopular and they could sink whatever support is left. But they won't do it because they also think American lives are worth sacrificing to bomb Iran.

The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.

This is so funny. NYT did a spy-novel style write up of how U.S. intelligence tracked down Khamenei "for months" and allowed Israel to target him. They killed him.... at his home.

Take a close look at what? It's the most straightforward vote any Senator will ever take.

They think we're a bunch of idiots

Khamenei had issued a fatwa declaring that nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islamic law, going back to mid 1990's. It goes without saying that assassinating him is the last thing you would do if you didn't want Iran to have develop nukes.

Reuters estimates that at least 150 tankers have dropped anchor (in red on the map). In typically times, up to 25 ships pass through in an hour. Zero ships have passed today.

If one were making a tier list, they are S-tier and then the next best person is like C-tier lol

There were def people in Washington who advised Trump not to do this, basically saying, "hes 90, hes had cancer twice, hes going to die soon anyway. Dont make him a martyr for the cause". He didnt listen.

It's not just oil by the way! A massive percentage of food imports and exports to and from the Persian Gulf come through Hormuz as well.

I wouldn't call Americans "anti-war" but they do like to think of themselves as such, and there is nothing that will make the public turn on you like when you started a war they don't like. The Iran war is already disliked on day one. A real opposition party would be taking full advantage of this.

A very interesting and underreported story is that, while Iran has not yet closed the Straight of Hormuz by mining it (which would instantly stop 20% of global oil traffic), they may have the same chokepoint effect on the oil supply because they have raised enough risk that insurers are bailing

Iranian strikes on day one. We have never seen anything like this before.

Syria is the clear example of this. The U.S. got what it wanted with Julani who has become a favored White House guest for Trump. But Israel is not embracing the new Syrian government at all, it has been bombing the shit out of them and making territorial claims since Julani took power.

Gallego has been pretty clear eyed thus far, and this is among the best statements from any Dem. It recognizes that even if the U.S. aims for regime change to a western-friendly government, that is NOT the goal of Saudi and Israel. They want a failed state that they can pick the bones of.

Can't miss a golden opportunity to kill more children

Every liberal's favorite "anti-authoritarianism" expert is doing Irangate now

There is that "anti-war realignment" in the Republican Party we heard so much about

If Trump wants to drop bombs on elementary schools, he needs to fill out the paperwork first

It is worth considering something that Jeremy Scahill pointe out today, which is that Israel never wanted these negotiations to take place at all and has every incentive to say that they were fake all along.

The "Board of Peace" started its first war within a week

For thousands of American families whose loved ones were killed, maimed, or taken hostage during Ali Khamenei’s disastrous 36-year reign in Iran, today carries a measure of justice done. 🇺🇸

Here is Biden's top Middle East appointee weighing in

Also if we can't stop the unilateral action of the president, all we can do is spread awareness about it and convince the public to turn against it. Dems going on TV and saying "this rocks but he should have written us a letter" is doing the opposite.

I mean this completely sincerely: what message could a voter possibly take away from this other than "Trump achieved the objective that even Democrats want." If that's the message, why would anyone care about process? Presumably the process is to stop bad things, not good ones.

What is important here is not the Iranian schoolgirls who are being blown up, but US servicemen being "put in danger."
