CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Raytheon may need 5–8 years and about $1.1B to rebuild the AN/FPS-132, while Lockheed Martin would require 12–24 months and $50–75M for AN/TPS-59.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Like, how many dudes think that flattening Iran will wash away Afghanistan the way H. W. Bush tried to use Desert Storm to wash away Vietnam?

If the Senate continues to forsake Congress's war powers and its responsibility, there will be soon no constraint left on this president or any other to make war whenever they choose, wherever they choose.

And the American people and our sons and daughters will pay the price in blood and treasure.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

Like... no, you're not "projecting" or "calling" races, Polymarket. You're showing people the current betting line and misrepresenting it as something more than that.

Another example: no, it's not "now more likely that Iran's Supreme Leader position will be abolished than any given person taking the role." It's simply what the most gamblers on the platform are guessing will happen.

Tim Walz: β€œAnd he told me that, β€˜Well, look, Tim, we did this in New Orleans. We did it in Louisville. There’s no problems.’ And I said, β€˜You didn’t kill anybody in Louisville or New Orleans. And the operation here looks very different from that.’ And then he told me it was successful in Venezuela.”

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

months and months of phony "antitrust concerns" by the GOP (propped up by a press that lets them pretend they have credibility they never earned) magically disappears now that it's a Trump-allied billionaire zealot buying Warner Brothers

I know that everyone here hates the β€œDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” messaging but β€œDonald Trump started a war and jacked up your gas prices” is likely the single thing about this nightmare that will most affect the day to day lives of a lot of people in the US

this is good stuff: the war is not just illegal, rash and procedurally unsound. It is immoral and unpopular with most Americans. Really a stark contrast with Schumer's mealy mouthed bullshit
