New from me: Tax law should be based on neutral principles. But key language in the pending House bill is anything but. It's shamelessly gerrymandered to go after endowments disliked by MAGA's social conservatives and NatCons, while sparing others. /1

Channel14 reports that tensions have risen because of alleged stalled nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US. They also claim Israel is preparing attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Britain has allegedly already warned ships in the Persian gulf.

This photo was taken in North London where I lived & to the right, you can see a nuclear attack warning siren on a pole. On the opposite side was the stop for my bus to school...that siren cast a long shadow...

Cute...But a basic rhetoric student could tell you that one thing is not the other... I really tire of politicians who try to score points with really bad rhetoric. You only create "gotchas" for yourself...

I so enjoy the childish agitprop that reduces all problems into a "class struggle" bc it benefits the ideologically motivated who get paid to promote it. Keeping ppl ignorant of the real issues is the objective..."Just think the way we tell you...you're 'oppressed'..."

@bradduplessis.bsky.social @ctreese2.bsky.social @sandbaggerone.bsky.social How to blind your intel operations...Politicize them so they only give analysis decision makers want to hear. This is insanely dangerous to US natsec... www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...

When seasoned intel pros get canned for telling the truth, that’s a red flag. Intelligence isn’t supposed to bend to political agendas- it’s to inform them. Firing people for not backing a shaky narrative breaks trust in the whole system. #TruthMatters #politics www.nextgov.com/cybersecurit...
