Despite being attacked by the Islamic Republic of Iran relentlessly over the past eight days, the United Arab Emirates says it is not going to enter the war.
The UAE’s Ambassador to the UN in Geneva said this to reporters:
“…The UAE we will not partake in any attacks against Iran from our territory, and we will not be involved in such a conflict.”

Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the Department of War outlines the plan to create an
"AI first" warfighting force by leveraging asymmetric advantages in compute, data,
capital markets, and operational experience, while driving rapid experimentation
with leading AI models. This memorandum is the first major effort to execute the
Pentagon's vision for embracing a "test, fail, adjust" culture and pursuing
innovation at "wartime speed."
The memorandum outlines two primary initiatives: execution of seven "Pace-
Setting Projects" ("PSPs") that will demonstrate accelerated project execution and
AI infrastructure development, and elimination of bureaucratic barriers to deeper
AI integration. A companion memorandum from Deputy Secretary of War
Feinberg, Transforming Advana to Accelerate Artificial Intelligence and Enhance
Auditability, underscores the view that data platform modernization and auditability
are not back-office concerns, but rather prerequisites to deploying warfighting AI
at scale.
This is highlighted by 7 AI-focused Pace-Setting Projects (PSPs) that direct the
military on how these new strategies are to be used:
· Swarm Forge: a mechanism for iteratively discovering, testing, and scaling new
ways of fighting with and against AI-enabled capabilities;
· Agent Network: development of AI-enabled battle management and decision
support;
. Ender's Foundry: AI-enabled simulation capabilities;
· Open Arsenal: acceleration of weapons development from intelligence;
· Project Grant: transformation of deterrence from static postures to dynamic
pressure;
. GenAI.mil: utilization of AI models by civilian and military personnel at all
classification levels; and
· Enterprise Agents: development of the playbook for rapid development and
deployment of AI agents to transform enterprise workflows.
Each PSP will be led by a single program leader partnering with a sponsoring
organization. Progress will be reported on a monthly basis to the Deputy Secretary
of War and
The Pentagon issued an AI memorandum in January outlining everything they wanted a prospective AI bot to do
In includes things such as battle management, decision support, capital market analysis, and what they call a "test, fail, adust" culture

Terrible tragedies are coming. And the Republican Party owns them.
Trump has thrown America into financial crisis, expanding war, and a surging terror threat. The only good news is that he's all-but-guaranteed Republicans will lose in November.
Miles Taylor: “Republicans own this…They lashed themselves to the president with ball-and-chain oblivion. Now there’s no daylight left between them and the decisions producing $100 oil… a financial crisis… and a terror threat level that’s blinking red.”

How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months
No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.
Texans should be asking what is it about their state that allows DHS agents to murder a US citizen from San Antonio and keep it a secret for nearly a year. The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.
Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

Saw an article that claims an Iranian general claims that they have killed and injured over 200 U.S. soldiers. Have not seen anything to corroborate that but as you say, I would not trust the numbers coming out of this administration.

All The Very Worst Qualities - Digby's Hullabaloo
I came across this on social media and it spoke to me. I think it's right: I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic a...
"He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume...[T]rump is a symptom the deeper illness is collective."

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Trump murdered 175 schoolchildren in Iran to cover up for the potentially hundreds of schoolchildren he abused in America.
He denies doing both while all the evidence says he did.
MAGAs are choosing to believe a known rapist and fraudster over hundreds of women and children. This is who they are.

Trump on January 22, 2020 when the CDC confirmed the first US covid case: “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine.”

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio
Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.
Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”
Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

Now he want to possibly do a draft. Our sons and daughters will be drafted and deployed to fight the war in Iran. He’s starving the people here. Killing our children in war, and on top of that he’s a fucking pedophile! Why is this man STILL walking around free?
