Rubio Today: Itโ€™s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. Thatโ€™s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didnโ€™t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

The process that led to the Holocaust didn't start with killing people.

First it made them non-people.

Then it killed them.

Trump with finger to ear. "Wow I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time."

Big business sucking up to personalist regimes always backfires because personalist regimes are unstable and chaotic and create massive regime uncertainty?

It's almost like the rule of law and government stability is the essential foundation of a market economy. What a concept.

Det รคr fortfarande svรฅrt att ta in att Sverige har en rasistisk lagstiftning som gรถr att barn utvisas och skiljs frรฅn sin familj den dagen de fyller arton, oavsett hur lรคnge de har bott i landet. Att man ens kan komma pรฅ en sรฅdan lag!

Pentagon to Anthropic: If you won't let us use your AI for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, expect punishment The Pentagon wants Anthropic to remove limits on AI use for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, raising civil liberties concerns.

Kind of wild and extremely worrying that the Trump administration seems to think it can force AI companies to give the military tools for mass domestic surveillance and robot weapons reason.com/2026/02/25/p...

The government wants your posts before it grants you papers The Trump administration will start collecting social media account information on immigration forms.

Trump admin to start demanding social media account info from people applying for green cards, citizenship, work & travel authorizations, refugee status, etc.

A way to chill immigrant speech & give officials pretext for denying status to people critical of them reason.com/2026/02/23/t...

Iran and the Persistence of US Failure in the Middle East Trumpโ€™s window to change course is closing fastโ€”he should step back from the brink and avert another disastrous regional war.

Proceeding with military action against Iran absent any credible justification or clear endgame โ€œis a reckless gamble and risks plunging the United States into another catastrophic Middle East war,โ€ writes Catoโ€™s Jon Hoffman.

Russiaโ€™s regime doesnโ€™t limit itself to bombing Ukraine, it also keeps silencing opponents at home.

Two years ago, Alexei Navalny died in a Russian prison camp, poisoned with a lethal toxin. The Kremlin bears full responsibility. (1/3)

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ Finnish President Stubb to Putin:

He wanted to make Ukraine Russian. It became European.

He wanted to prevent the enlargement of NATO. He got Finland and Sweden.

And he wanted to keep our defense expenditure down, and itโ€™s now going up to 5%.

Beyond natural curiosity I'm not usually heavily invested in internal theological debates within Chrisitanity, but they are once again affecting the safety of my own people.

In that spirit, move past the headline and read this excellent article by @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social. ty for writing it.
