very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

will Hegseth repeat what he whined about today, "when a few drones get through or tragic things happen it’s front page news"?

Only 1 Republican Votes To End Trump's Iran War Congress will hold no formal debate on another costly military conflict in the Middle East that has already left six U.S. servicemembers dead.

Senate Republicans blocked an effort to rein in Trump’s ability to wage war against Iran without approval from Congress

Satellite images show Iran school strike hit more buildings than earlier reported The images suggest that precision munitions struck other buildings, including a clinic that was also inside the complex.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

We have a launch site in east Norman now, so this one is a ground launch! We usually on average don't have data in the lowest 400m bc of how our instruments deploy after launch, but we're working on getting that lower. I also want to modify this sounding to append surface obs for accuracy
