DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

It definitely is

Five years before the war over Kosovo, Eliot Cohen published a widely cited article in Foreign Affairs, “The Mystique of US Air Power.” He argued, “Air power is an unusually seductive form of military strength, in part because, like modern courtship, it appears to offer gratification without commitment."

it really is all gender, huh

damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

See all those shards, that’s my lower back if I stretch like that.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:

1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.

2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

Find your senators at reps.fyi

Current status. Minus the inbred part.

You're spot on.

I mean, they're gonna do something transphobic, sure. But I am just delighted with Trump promising a room of college coaches and ADs that he's going to "solve every conceivable problem" and it's just "check everyone's genitals."

🤦

it's fascinating how FDD guys have gotten everything they wanted but it tastes like ash in the mouth

Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz ... x.com Perhaps the actual goal is tie down regime security forces on Iran's periphery (see map), reducing the regime's capacity to massacre civilians and potentially lowering the risk for protesters in major cities. *Important caveat:* Ethnic politics in Iran is extremely sensitive. The regime exploits fears of territorial fragmentation to rally support. Washington should therefore make clear its commitment to Iran's territorial integrity to avoid strengthening the regime's narrative.

This guy is seething

They seem especially terrified of this Kurdish secessionism talk which they, believe it or not, genuinely do not like because it really undermines the fragile unity of much of the Iranian opposition to the IRI which almost uniformly "believes" first and foremost in the territorial integrity of Iran.

FDD is currently experiencing the definition of dog catching the car and not knowing what to do with it— it begged and begged and begged and begged and begged for a war with Iran, in their case explicitly for Israel, and now some of its most senior fellows are freaking out at the repercussions.

@diplomatofnight.com knows this already but it's fascinating how you basically have a merger of the pre-Trump Iran hawks plus the New Right unilateralists basically cheerleading this war on the other site, while the more radical New Right members are puzzled

Well, knock me over with a feather.

I wonder how many collective hours were spent on LOAC computer training, and now America has just decided to not follow the rules of war after all

Ryan Grim is repeating lies spread by an explicitly white-supremacist, antisemitic account, in an attempt to defend Platner from criticism of his 1) nazi tattoo, 2) love of going overseas to kill brown people, 3) racist beliefs about Black people, and 4) guest spot on an antisemitic podcast

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

For the longest time I thought that, if anything, the army spent too much training time on values, because who doesn't inherently understand things like honor, respect, integrity etc. Guys like this are a minority of vets but its clear that some people never understood our professed values at all

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

Balloon Juice - War for Ukraine Day 1,471: Russia, Russia, Russia (Current status) Always a good sign when you do the first set of the first exercise of your workout and your entire abdominals & obliques lock up and then while you’re trying to get them to unlock it ...

War for Ukraine Day 1,471 update has posted.

In 1914 there were no women involved as all the key leaders & decision makers backed into World War I. In 2024 Harris was, perhaps, the only woman involved as all the other key leaders & decision makers were men. That was what I was stating. I apologize for any confusion.

The people of Ukraine deserve so much better than this international shitshow performed by russian puppets.

It’s impossible to put into words❤️‍🩹

Today, this mother received the news that her son Andrii had returned from Russian captivity after three years in detention, while she was attending a rally in Kyiv in support of the missing.

Casinos for Trump. Also, gets Rubio to stop pestering him.
