So good!

US rushes new bomb shipment to Israel as troops seek to avoid Iran deployment The State Department declared an 'emergency' to bypass Congress and send thousands of 1,000lb bombs to Israel

"By invoking the emergency determination, the State Department waived the normal congressional review period under the Arms Export Control Act."

I am unfamiliar with this site, but no US news outlets have covered this yet as far as I can see.

"That leaves no good options for a very urgent problem."

Thank heavens we have such clear heads driving this mission.

I did not read this. I do not care what it says. I posted it on account of the image.

Poor ol' pouty Kristi ...

And some people still believe he won't take away their Medicare.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sleepy Trump, 79, Nods Off as Johnson Rambles About Sports The president’s busy week appears to be taking its toll.

He was at a roundtable to chat about college sports.

COLLEGE SPORTS.

THIS is what POTUS and the Secretary of State are doing while we're in a week-old war?

what?

One day the dollar will collapse and it will be because the great American "superpower" was unable to control ONE MAN in a performance that played out on the global stage.

When the world no longer believes in America, a dollar bill will become just a fancy piece of paper.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

My god what a hideous revelation.

Oil surges 35% this week for biggest gain in futures trading history dating back to 1983 The oil market is worried that Gulf countries will have to shut production if tankers are unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

How in the name of all that is HOLY did this administration not foresee this outcome? The blind hubris is mind-numbing.

Nathan wins the internet today, hands down.

HAHAHAHA

Maybe rising gas prices will get our collective attention.

This is honestly one of the most anti-American things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

I imagine a nameless dread is growing inside Miss Pam Bondi as she watches the fall of Miss Kristi Noem, her fellow senior officer in Trump's Barbie Army.

Poor ol' Pam ...

Thanks for that, A, and right backatcha ❤️

Sounds about right, Neil and FT commenter.

Good morning. New highs in Crude Oil. Someone let Karoline Leavitt know.

The resulting frustration amps up our ugliest tendencies and the next thing you know, we’re killing one another in blind fury.

There’s nothing “epic” about it.

So many of our necessary systems—from healthcare to daily commuting—are human constructs that have become so complex, expensive and difficult to access that we give up hope.

It’s almost like humanity is a species with a deadly and rapidly advancing chronic disease.
