Wiseguy

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

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.

It’s times like these when we can be grateful as a nation that some our most highly trained FBI counterterrorism experts are detailed to do private security for Kash Patel’s girlfriend as she pursues a career as a UFC pre-fight national anthem singer.

Put on your Health Bingo Card that RFK Jr will go after kid car seats next. Like restraining in a moving them leads to underdeveloped brain cells or something.

Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom Trump is basically calling up every journalist in his phone to workshop different timelines and goals for his war. In the past two days: @washingtonpost : the aim is "freedom for the people" of Iran @axios : maybe we can "end it in two or three days" with a deal @nytimes : might be "four to five weeks", I have "three very good choices" who might take control in Iran @abc : actually, nevermind, we killed those choices He doesn't sound convinced by any of it. He's throwing spaghetti at the wall. Ultimately I suspect he just wants to say he "solved" a problem that has vexed every American president since Jimmy Carter. But there's no clear idea what that looks like and no plan for how to get there. And there are plenty of possible scenarios in which Trump declares victory and leaves the region with an absolute mess

The Mad and Senile King is just using reporters as a sounding board to see what might sound good in the press.

😂

Have to wonder if Iran is targeting everything with Trumps name on it …

Pretty incredible that, even as all of this is unfolding, Iran apparently appears convinced that Trump will soon get bored and move on

I’m sure Democrats hedging in their condemnation just in case an outrage should poll well doesn’t ever help it poll well.

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

The Situation Room is literally a blanket fort

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.

Unreal.

that's not how wars work but okay

Criminal charges should be filed. This is abduction, pure and simple.

🤣

We all know who really enjoys hurting children, don't we?

They missed the boat in this. Senator Tim Scott could have co chaired. That's a true middle finger to Minnesota.

I've always been a fan of this. Our current occupant already “updates” us via social media posts. He presents us nothing new.

I don’t know what he did in college but the only way I know how to describe literal fbi director Kash Patel’s public and professional behavior is: guy who always wanted to be in a frat but wasn’t and is now acting out that regret and insecurity in middle age, at the expense of the whole nation

A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming." PANEL 1 A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones. CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death. PANEL 2 A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones. CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death. PANEL 3 This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers. BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre! CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case. CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander. PANEL 4 Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents.

PANEL 5 On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes. ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof! CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges. PANEL 6 In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

The worst part about the Kash video is just how much of a DORK he looked like.

Like a guy who for the first time was at a party with the cool kids and trying too hard

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

This one hits hard.

This is a really good debate format for like 50 different reasons, but especially at this moment. There's a lot of equivocating over stuff that is not that complicated.

In all seriousness when I read this I first started to laugh and then a split-second later thought, you know, they actually may do this

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
