Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

i guess this is a pivot to Asia in one sense. Because a regional military command dragging the country into war is Imperial Japan-core

To say that American foreign policy in the Middle East is being conducted entirely on behalf of a foreign state is reminiscent of antisemitic tropes and has the potential to lend credence to the narratives of those who hate the Jewish People. It also, unfortunately, happens to be true.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

Every year that passes, I come to better appreciate just how traumatic members of the US elite find it to be yelled at by progressive young people. It is *vastly* more upsetting to them than being yelled at by reactionaries. They warp their entire identities & ideologies around it!

I think politicians accurately understand that even if their constituents are nominally committed to climate action, that commitment is at most an inch deep, and they won't actually be willing to sacrifice anything they actually care about for said climate action.

First time I've seen a tax cut so poorly designed that the dynamic score RAISES the cost by $356 billion. The infinitesimal growth revenues are dwarfed by the rising inflation and $441 billion in interest costs from higher interest rates.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
