I think the real story in Texas tonight is Republicans have poked a bear. Almost 2 million Democrats voted today in a red, red state. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries
This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.
But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?
Holy crap!

Alas, true.
Of course, to the admin, they're just playing w/ toy soldiers. No consideration of how to do war and win it. Anyone not rich is not even a living being to them...

Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use AI to fire weapons autonomously or spy on Americans
Seems entirely reasonable
The Pentagon terminated their contract
Yet weโre supposed to believe Hegseth switched to OpenAI but guaranteed those same provisions will be honored
Riiiiiight
Parents Tried to Shield Their Children From Vaccines. Instead They Got Measles.
A little confused by "instead" here.
The saying isn't "fuck around, instead find out"
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictโand 9000
miles from North Americaโmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.

"Letโs not bury the lede here: The DoD wants to use AI for fully autonomous lethal systems and mass surveillance of American citizens. Anthropic said 'no,' and now the US government is retaliating by trying to destroy it." โ @lizdye.bsky.social

Unlike other countries, like the UK. Props to them for evacuating their people!!!
I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:
Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedโand so were my wife's.
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

@crockett.house.gov @jasmineforus.bsky.social
Y'know... they're right. Taking Ted's spot would be poetic, Jasmine.
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
Every single one of us would have understood it if @crockett.house.gov had remained in Texas for a while after putting everything she had into her Senate campaign. Taken some time to recover, rest, and heal. She's earned it.
And instead she's right back at work in DC today. For all of us. Wow.

John Fugelsang takes it to a Trump supporter...
a) They trusted a known pathological liar, and...
b) Out of all the lies they have swallowed, *this* one makes the idiots feel "betrayed."
Not the racism, not Epstein, not the election lies... This one.
"There's no Somalian folks in the Epstein files."
Gov. Tim Walz
Cannot be unredacted; the victims do not need to be doxxed, harassed, pursued, etc.
Some of them chose to be public; some did not. Victims' privacy should be respected. Maybe you aren't a SA survivor; I am. I wouldn't do that to others.
Iran strikes are attempt to hijack the global narrative and drown out Epstein and tariffs with the thunder of cruise missiles.

DOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files โ including Trump allegations โ were removed.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has previously stated that the Justice Department only withheld duplicate files. Which was a lie.
