Jeffrey Goldberg: "[Iran] has been a stalwart enemy of the United States and has undone the U.S. in various ways. It's not the worst theory in the world to say, 'Let's just deal with it once and for all, right?'"
"I didn't see a single building standing the entire time I was in Gaza. I didn't see one building intact or standing.
Everything was flattened. And when I mean flattened, it was hard to even tell that they were buildings there before."

If you're wondered why Darrell Issa is retiring from Congress and what it means for his congressional seat, you can hear expert local San Diego political reporters break it down here:
Hell yeah
DHS' official version of events had already been previously called into question by somebody at the scene. Joshua Orta, Martinez's best friend and a passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, said in a draft declaration that his friend "did not hit anyone" and that he was trying to comply with commands from officers. Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration.

Three carrier strike groups apparently enables a high intensity/tempo & largely all-hours capability IIRC & the last time 3 USA aircraft carrier strike groups were together was…
….2017 during Trump’s chosen nuclear crisis & war scare with North Korea.

"A third U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group is getting ready to cross the Atlantic and join the war against Iran.
The USS George H.W. Bush has completed her workups just off the coast of Cape Hatteras and is expected to deploy soon.
She's expected to head to the eastern Mediterranean..."
Pete Hegseth reposted Lockheed Martin 2 @LockheedMartin X.com We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg. x.com/PeteHegseth/ st... Pete Hegseth • C @PeteHegseth. .4h Donald J. Trump Y @reaDonaldTrump We just concluded a very good meeting with the lardest US. Defense Manufacturina Companies
There’s something jarring about a defense contractor having to praise the president when they make announcements clearly for his benefit.
“As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago…”
"The only ones who need to be worried right now is the Iranians who think they're gonna live"

His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."
Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.
"After he's shot three times, Martinez is seen being pulled from his vehicle, thrown to the ground by an ICE agent, face down, and then handcuffed. Personnel on the scene are not seen in the video providing medical care until after he is handcuffed."
"When gunshots are heard in the video, the brake lights of Martinez' vehicle appear to be on."
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
Bessent: "Tonight will be our biggest campaign and we'll do the most damage"
“…his vision for a post-war Iran in which Iran’s uranium is secure and the U.S. and a new Iranian regime cooperate on oil production similar to how the U.S. and Venezuela are, the sources said.”
He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.
The need to smash open the Strait of Hormuz provides pretext for the insertion of US troops into key Iranian logistical nodes around the Gulf
There's skin in the game and then there's directly hooking the US treasury up to Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Bass Pro Shops CEO releasing a video of him getting hooked and pulled from a lake by their new lure
"In another tactic to avoid being targeted, some ships are manipulating their GPS signals to misdirect guided weapons. These vessels are showing up on shipping data platforms as clustered on top of one another, noted TankerTrackers.com, a research agency."
"At least 10 ships over the past week have altered their destination signal to read 'Chinese Owner', 'All Chinese Crew' or 'Chinese Crew Onboard', according to data from MarineTraffic analysed by the FT."
US Central Command just emailed out its fact sheet for Day 7 of Iran War. Claims 3000 targets struck, 43 Iranian ships damaged or destroyed. Still has a list of US weapons/aircraft/systems used that still ends with "...and special capabilities we can't list here!" Exclamation point isn't a typo
Couple things here:
1. What the fuck
2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen
3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

The only thing that's really different in 2026 is that the government makes meme videos now. Other than that, it's all the same assholes from 25 years ago.

"CPSC is aware of four reports of ignition, fires and other thermal incidents involving the defective heated insoles resulting in burn injuries, including second- and third-degree burns requiring skin grafts."
I take my kiddo to school right down the street from where the Eaton Fire started, and a few of his classmates lost their homes. I have nowhere near the amount of skin in this as those classmates' families do, but … No. F–– off with this, it's ghoulish.
