APNewsAlert: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — US Embassy in Saudi Arabia tells Americans to "avoid the Embassy until further notice due to an attack on the facility."

look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

this really made me laugh

Babe wake up he thinks he's lawrence of arabia

including Venezuela, Cuba, Israel, and Taiwan! Nice!

anyways, this World Baseball Classic should be fun

Colbert plays Pete Hegseth like he's picking a fight outside a Buffalo Wild Wings.

He's gonna fucking empty it all out and then start conspiracy theorizing about who is to blame.

I find it absolutely hilarious that Noah Eagle has thought more about this tweet and the timing of his retirement than the total amount of thought my dad has put into the ample amount of nudging we’ve given him to retire the last ten years.

At least someone’s listening!

look man, I get why you would vote for Platner in the primary, I would vote for him in the general, but this performative sneering is so fucking dumb. the guy is a Soviet military parade of red flags at this point, don’t insult people’s intelligence by acting like it’s incomprehensible why the worry

Half of my mentions are currently versions of the left; half are versions of the right.

I’ve been closely following this competition for months now… 😂

I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR

bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company

I think it's worth reminding people that Netanyahu––on whose watch 10/7 occurred––may also not exactly be a master strategist thinking twelve steps ahead

Feel like we are entering an interesting moment where different generations of evangelical theology are coming into direct conflict with one another.

"we fight to win" then it shouldn't be hard to articulate a win condition

Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews.

Why is Congress?

my blankie is TEMPEST compliant

Rubio's absolute clusterfuck of a press conference and pretty much saying Israel forced our hand may prove utterly disastrous for the administration going forward. We're barely 72 hours into the war, and the right wing influencer sphere over on twitter is being held together with scotch tape.

I really did think the Riyadh Comedy Festival would help bring peace to the Middle East

incredible, he did the joke

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

i do not know why there is such an impulse to try and hold Israel harmless in something we have stopped it from doing about six separate times since 2008

new drone just quite literally dropped
