it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

The problem with every military action in the last 24 years being forced into the 2001 AUMF. Is now everything fits in the 2001 AUMF.

it will get papered over, but trump briefing johnson and thune but not schumer or jefferies is another example of congress having essentially given up on any pretense of oversight — this would not be in any way acceptable to republicans if the situation were reversed.

Remember after J6 when the number of veterans and active duty folks "shocked the nation" Remember when hundreds got discharged for believing maga bullshit about the COVID vaccine?

Here’s the thing. There are over 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the USA. Many of us have been tracking the right-wing capture of law enforcement for years and years. We’ve been talking about it. It’s well known.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

To paraphrase Avasarala, I'll criticize whatever I goddamn please (publicly within the limits of article 88)

I'm more willing to believe that ICE HQ and therefore the social media team had no idea whether or not ICE was there and just responded like Bart Simpson taught them. "I didn't do it, you didn't see me, you can't prove anything."

Trying to think of another time that the DOJ cocked something up this hard?

The fact that US officials thought there was a chance that, after a deadly attack from a country that never supported the negotiations the regime would be willing to talk to the country that didn't or couldnt stop the attack but knew about it beforehand, is wild.

Stupidly listened to the Homan interview and I miss when we shared reality with anchor points like facts.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
