"I didn't think they'd go after MY clean energy company!"

For context, China likely produced between 15 and 50 kg of HEU in 1964...the year it produced its first nuclear weapon. Iran could have sprinted into a bomb for the last 10 years and did not. If it decides to sprint for a bomb today, it will be able to. If it wants deterrence it must.

The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China. It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.

Zeno’s authoritarianism

When Project 2025 became toxically unpopular and threatened Trump's election, he (and the entire institutional right) straight up lied about it. And it worked. Now, as his signature legislation faces similar backlash, he's doing the same thing. Elite desensitization to his breezy lying is deadly.

If you follow myself or any number of defense posters, you’d know CENTCOM is something of a meme. But there comes a point when meme becomes reality, sucking in resources in pursuit of increasingly pointless and dubious objectives all the while very real threats continue to fester. My latest⬇️

Note: After China completed the non-nuclear components of their bomb and had enough HEU for it, it took only about 5 weeks to convert the HEU to metal, purify and pit cast it. The first bomb was then completed in mere hours.

Worth noting that the last time someone revoked a Mamdani family passport...it was Idi Amin's Uganda (and the passport belonged to the NYC Democrat's father). Nice company we're keeping these days...

A lot of takeaways from Zohran’s DSA-powered win but one of them is that liberals are not the problem. The liberals voted Zohran (or Brad and also ranked Zohran). It’s reactionary centrists that ran the disgraceful race-bating campaign.

“I called him, I congratulated him” says Cuomo of Mamdani. Doesn’t, right now, sound like someone gearing up to take him on in November

"Having shifted from negotiations to bombing, Trump switched his happy talk from overselling the negotiations to overselling the bombing." A masterclass in how not to have a military conflict with another country.

As it stands Cuomo is about where he was in Emerson’s last poll (36%) but Mamdani 10 points higher, having cut into pretty everyone else’s support (about 4 from Adams, 2 from Lander, 1 each from Stringer, Mylie and Tilson.)

That administration officials chose to attack a DIA assessment, instead of noting that it's an early, low-confidence, single-agency judgment (iow something they didn't need to respond to with a flamethrower) suggests that the story of the damage, not the damage itself, is what matters most to them.

"The findings suggest that President Trump’s statement that Iran’s nuclear facilities were obliterated was overstated..." Worse than sane washing. Just a complete rewrite of history.

"The Iranian nuclear facilities are destroyed." ... "The Iranian nuclear facilities are not destroyed, but heavily damaged." ... "Damage to Iranian nuclear facilities is to be ascertained, but they are buried, possibly setting the effort back years." ... "The Iranian nuclear program may accelerate."
