it's fascinating how FDD guys have gotten everything they wanted but it tastes like ash in the mouth

Conventions I and II are extremely clear: if you are in a uniform and aren't wearing a protected symbol, a chaplain, or otherwise hors de combat, congrats, you are a legal target

What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

We're in a state of hostilities. Neither party has any obligation to not attempt to strike the forces of the other party when given the opportunity.

Look, I think the correct way to view this whole submarine thing is to ask it this way.

Are the Iranians currently under any obligation whatsoever not to sink a troop transport in the Mediterranean carrying U.S. troops right now if they could?

Wooooboyyyyyy!!!!

Former VP Kamala Harris at the memorial service for Rev. Jesse Jackson:

"So let me just say, I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so' but we did see it coming."

Yes. She. Did.

This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal

Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

At least they gave us the term “fuck plane.”

Doocy and Ingraham asking questions in the same day?

I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.

Separation of Powers and the Dead Girls of Iran A pillar of American democracy suffers yet another blow.

FDA’s controversial vaccine chief will exit agency next month | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration’s head of vaccines and biologic medicines will leave the agency at the end of April, a spokesperson confirmed to CNN on Friday.

Vinay Prasad has been an a noxious influence on public health and drug regulation. Good riddance. UCSF should not take him back. He should wander in the wilderness forever. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/h...

16 Republicans.

Fetterman won't vote either the Dems

Republicans out there all but waving the mission accomplished banner look silly.

It looks like U.S. airstrikes hit an Iranian school, killing more than 150 people, including dozens of children. Our partners in the Gulf are considering pulling back investments.

real talk: a lot of the mil youtubers and a subset of OSINTers are just the Yankee version of the Russian warbloggers

Trump’s White House Posts Fascist Memes As It Wrecks the Economy The president’s extremely online staff is posting ‘Grand Theft Auto’ memes and cracking jokes about his Iran war as energy prices explode.

Wrote with @swin24.bsky.social about how the White House is posting fascist memes about GTA and Call of Duty to make themselves laugh about their war as it threatens to blow up the global economy zeteo.com/p/trump-iran...

incredible ineptitude: "Unprepared for Iranian drones, U.S. and partners seek Ukraine’s help"... and NOW they want Ukraine to help

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.

this is explicitly genocidal

We have the data. My longest columns have more readers, who read longer, and who share them the most.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

Haahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaahhahhahhahaahahaaa <dies wheezing>

Russia trying to kill Americans is just so ho-hum.

Even Megyn kelly can’t believe it

An Epidemic of ‘Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.
