Fascinating interview with Heritage folks about their plans for "civics education," which they communicate clearly isn't about encouraging students to become politically active but about whitewashing history and historical figures and emotionally bonding children to aspirations versus reality.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
complete insanity

In 1777, a 16-year-old girl rode 40 miles through enemy territory to save American troops.
Her ride was three times longer than Paul Revere's.
So why have you never heard of Sybil Ludington?

Bloomfield repeatedly tries to manage the optics of racism rather than uproot the structure. And extremely important is the fact that racism in a firehouse is uniquely corrosive: firefighters literally depend on one another for survival.

"...leadership assassinations do not lead to peaceful outcomes in the Middle East. They can open the door for much more radical successors or for chaos that leads to violence and upheaval."

It’s legitimate to want a regime dismantled after decades of terror, regional destabilization, and repression. But that urgency doesn’t erase constitutional limits—or the need for strategy over impulse. The rule of law isn’t a barrier to security. It’s the only durable way to achieve it.

'The Russian Foreign Ministry had denounced the joint US‑Israeli military operation in Iran the previous day, describing it as “a pre‑planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent UN member state” and a violation of core principles of international law.'
Umm...
Hope springs eternal.

I know maps are less popular than clickbait, but pls entertain me
🧵 We are watching two escalating conflicts at the same time:
• Pakistan–Afghanistan cross-border fighting
• Israel–Iran strikes, with spillover across the Gulf
These events may converge into a regional displacement crisis.
So do we, but it's our own government this time

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for”

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.
The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

Facts, Chris!💯 They have been doing it for centuries—creating narratives that non-White people are out to get them. As recent as 2025, right-wing media used the death of Iryna Zarutska as propaganda.
Trump did it at the SOTU, but got it wrong.

Immediate reaction upon seeing this headline was "No shit", but we've now been recklessly thrown into this situation and there's a lot to talk about regarding what lies ahead.

Iran Things that Got Memory Holed, Including the So-Called Negotiators, Steve and Jared

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
