My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language.

For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.

Iran: Who knew that striking our Arab neighbors would make them angry?!

US: Who knew that starting a war in the Middle East would spike oil prices?!

For the longest time I thought that, if anything, the army spent too much training time on values, because who doesn't inherently understand things like honor, respect, integrity etc. Guys like this are a minority of vets but its clear that some people never understood our professed values at all

you'd think for how maha these guys are they'd be more concerned about seamen retention

There are so many jaw-dropping passages in this piece it's hard to pick one to quote, but ...

Iranian warship hit by US torpedo did not carry ammunition, say Indian sources The ship was reported to be taking part in naval exercises hosted by New Delhi and was 'defenceless'

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless.

I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism.

Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation.

We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Apt characterization of the Article I Crisis

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

The sell off and spin offs from these deals are going to be incredible.

Six Texas voters were interviewed for their opinions on the strikes ahead of a primary election.
Most voters supported the strikes, viewing them as necessary to eliminate threats, prevent future conflicts, or as a decisive action against a perceived enemy.

Siding with the Constitution isn't siding with Iran.
