The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social Netanyahu is a war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but the only references to Netanyahu in the Epstein files are emails sent exchanging articles about him, or others discussing him. I think it's very bad that the most popular left-wing streamer on the internet is a raging antisemite.

On the other hand, he hailed China's economy and political system, saying it is "probably the closest" to "an example that we should learn from." Piker admitted there are "plenty of failures within the Chinese system," and noted there is "a lot of surveillance." "Having said that, it has become far more tolerant as material conditions have improved," he added. One issue he did not bring up: The CCP throwing more than 1 million Muslims in internment camps; the U.S. government estimated there are 1,200 internment camps in China. Excerpt from article on Piker’s trip to China

Excerpt of article on Piker’s sexist tweets with embedded post In a recent stream, Piker was watching political coverage of the primary election on CNN and he didn't seem to appreciate the way Brianna Keilar was referring to American-Turkish broadcaster and Democratic congressional candidate for California, Cenk Uygur. Jake Tapper i O @jaketapper • Follow X Absolutely disgusting. The misogyny is appalling. The great and professional @brikeilarcon and all the women of CNN are owed an apology. * Receipt Maven @receiptmaven Replying to @receiptmaven The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: #Cenk2020's nephew Hasan Piker on his Twitch account calls @brikeilarcnn (and all female correspondents on @CNN / @CNNPolitics) a "C*NT" and a "B*TCH" here after her recent interview with @RoKhanna. Piker works for Cenk at TYT. #CA25

Before we head to the Highlight Room against his publicist's wishes, Piker pulls out his phone to show me more examples of his impact via the Snapchat DMs fans send of them wearing his merch - a black T-shirt he designed that says RACISM BIGORTY PATRIARCHY WHITE SUPREMACY INEQUALITY OPPRESSION INTOLERANCE INJUSTICE on it in white letters, each word crossed out in red. He's sold nearly 2,000 of them so far. "It's so dope," he says, opening Snapchat. "I don't know if any of these are nudes so don't judge me." The first one is a nude. He reads the message attached aloud: "I'm sure you have hot girls throwing themselves at you all the time, but I'm a huge fan of TYT and love all your work..." As promised, there are photos in his inbox of fans wearing the shirt, but it's about 70 percent nudes. "Whoa, that's crazy, he says, methodically opening each message. "That was, like, actually her blowing someone.... I don't ever, like, talk to any of these people. ... That's butt stuff. Cool." Excerpt of 2018 Cosmopolitan article

This is not a serious person. This is not someone millions of young people should be getting their politics from.

And liberals and progressives should absolutely not be collaborating with him.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I vaguely remember something about this being because this pushes the responsibility and accountability of these programs out of the NHS to local councils, who may or may not be able to carry out those programs properly? Wes Streeting has been doing & saying horrific destruction of SEND funding.

Ellison: "It felt like we were being occupied by the federal govt, & I started returning to reading about the Boston Massacre. How did those Bostonians feel when a far away govt in England had imperial troops marching all over their city, harassing & abusing the citizenry. That's kind of how I felt"

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Gov. Tim Walz: "They left us with deep damage. Generational trauma. Economic ruin in some cases. The left us with many unanswered questions. Where are our children? Where and what is the process of the investigation into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?"

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

Starmer faces questions over visit to Palantir office alongside Mandelson Former ambassador was also shareholder in lobbying group that counted US tech firm as a client

New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

The Home Office now describes asylum seekers as "illegal immigrants [living in hotels]" with no reference to the reason that these people are in government-funded accommodation is that this government has taken & will process the asylum claim from them in 98-99% of cases of unauthorised entry.

Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

It’s clear we need a full statutory inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein’s ties with the British political establishment and the impact on his victims, including the disgraceful leaks from Peter Mandelson at the very top of government and the impact on national security.

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
