Afghan allies, stranded at Qatar refugee camp, face 'hell' amid Iran war More than a thousand Afghan allies at a Qatar refugee camp face terror and confusion as Iranian missiles rain down.

Five years after fleeing the last U.S. war, 1,100 Afghan refugees who risked their lives are stranded in a Qatar refugee camp as missiles rain overhead.

150 people are family members of U.S. servicemembers.

Unconscionable.

Already, I know people who are pointing out while it works great for expert coders who have a lot of experience and can see the flaws like they would with junior coders.

This, of course, will create some interesting issues in a few years when there are no junior codes to become expert coders...

The Water Wars Are Here, And They're Not Woke The Iran War's latest horrifying component involves attacks on desalination facilities. A "not politically correct" conflict could render much of the region uninhabitable

The Trump administration heralds the Iran War as a Not-Woke War. Here’s what that means in practice.

Again, only Republicans are allowed to ever talk this way about Real Folkz living in America, & there is a straight line through the last 160+ years of American history to "Non-Christians are not Real Americans & don't belong here."

Reuters: Kuwait and the UAE cut oil production. No traffic thru the Straits of Hormuz, and both countries are out of places to store it. This is not good for Trump’s new Golden Era.

It’s Monday and Trump Is Already Losing: Texas Dems Break Turnout Records, Court Blocks Mass Deportations, Kari Lake’s Actions Erased, and Virginia Schools Set To Ban Jan 6 Lies They tried to rewrite historyβ€”so we bolted the truth to the Capitol wall

Republicans thought they had Texas on lockβ€”they were WRONG. Nearly 4.5 million voters just turned the state upside down, and for the first time since 2020, Democrats actually OUTNUMBERED the GOP. This isn't just a record; it's the regime’s worst nightmare.

See the numbers they’re trying to hide:

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase β€œaccused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory β€œhasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared.

the funniest part of this article is when the author hits pause to be like "I personally don't read romance, I am in a book club called the Difficult Books Club where we read the Brothers Karamazov and kind of hate it." seems like the wrong person to be writing about romance and fanfic then idk

Screengrab: β€œAfter slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring β€” The reversal reflects a retreat from one of the president's early priorities. It could give the White House greater influence over a civilian workforce of 2 million.”

Fresh hell in the @washingtonpost.com part two: abject failure to mention this loyalist hiring surge is straight out of Project 2025.

Wait...the US forces everyone, including employees, to file their own taxes but doesn't provide the means for them to do so itself?? I refuse to believe the US is a real country, it has to be a work of fiction with the worst world building in history lol.

Ahead of 2028, Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill to make $75,000 in income tax-free The bill is a marker for the next time Democrats get a chance to rewrite the tax code. The New Jersey senator told NBC News he's keeping the door open to a 2028 presidential bid.

At first glance this idea may SOUND good, but the truth is that no poor person will benefit from it, middle class people will benefit from it only marginally, but the well-to-do would benefit substantially. This is a perverse policy disguised as a middle class cut

Idaho joined a growing list of red states rejecting the DOJ’s unprecedented requests for private voter data.

At least eight GOP-led states have so far refused the department’s demands β€” and they’re citing concerns over how such information could be used ahead of the midterms.https://bit.ly/4cwKV55

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
