This is a bad policy that would help incumbents retain their seats in the upcoming midterms.
Why Democrats want do that when out of power in the White House, the Senate, and the House is another question.
Republicans control everything and every bad thing is their fault. Say it until November 3.
Did the bombing of the girls' school at Minab flow directly from Hegseth's obsession with "lethality"? There's very good reason to believe that. And it furnishes another reason for his removal, as well as further disciplinary action against him.
Must-read thread from Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
The US Navy correctly understands that there is zero political will or operational reason to risk casualties in this campaign, which raises the question of why we're doing it in the first place.

Special Military Operation update: fuck
Helps bail out Trump from his own idiotic decisions, while reducing gov revenue and will earn no credit from voters in the process. Brilliant.
democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

It is important to remember that the Iranian govt also talks a lot of shit.
Mad they didn’t call Bellingcat fake news
The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided
"What most people do not know is Obama deported over 3 million people, and nobody said a thing, Trump does it, and its the end of the world."
I dunno Terry. If Obama had used a national license plate tracker, I think you might had concerns.
firstly: wtf is this framing?!
secondly: teenagers?!
Renee Good, who DID have ties to the Air Force, was unavailable so they found some other pretty blonde mother.
You know what pisses me off about the announcement by Oz and Makary, now disproven, that leucovorin could treat autism?
It’s the false hope given to people with autism and those who love them.
If you’ve ever had a kid with a complex condition and you’re desperate for help, you are vulnerable.
Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Why isn’t Elizabeth Warren the Senate Minority Leader?
By analyzing records obtained by @deportationdata.org, I found that the total number of people who have experienced ICE detention in the first 9 months of the Trump admin amounts to the population of a mid-sized city.
One in every 1,257 American residents.

Pete Hegseth's "Department of War" spent $7.4 million on lobster tails, more than $15 million on ribeye steaks, and hundreds of thousands on doughnuts...in September.

Trump's economic policies have wreaked havoc on the economy of Michigan, which, among other things, is heavily dependent on trade with Canada. www.mackinac.org/blog/2025/ba...
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement
Marching orders are given. "That school had it coming." See it parroted by influencers and media outlets.
It seems to me the easiest way to calm fears about crude oil would be for the US Navy to actually execute a safe escort of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.
That they haven't done this yet is a tell, IMO.
