Hard to think of this as anything other than the US being forced to retreat by Iran.

A lot of people listen to country, but a lot of people don't. There's a big overlap between the people who do and the type of people who get big mad that America isn't a monoculture and not everyone looks, talks, thinks, or acts like they do. Their music being ignored reminds them of that.

This kind of take made a Rolling Stone writer so mad they wrote a whole piece about it.
At this point, though, if someone contends they've never even heard of
"Choosin' Texas" or Langley, it may say more about the listener than the song.
Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world. With incessant news coverage alongside chart and playlist presence, it's pretty difficult to still claim total ignorance on this one.
Perhaps there is a deeper reason why people say they haven't heard the song and feel the need to make it known: cultural cachet.

Oregon Democratic politicians appealing a favorable ruling so it would get overruled by MAGA 9th circuit appointees is a great example of how Democrats want trans women to be raped and killed in prisons as much as Republicans do, just politely.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

I would be very concerned if nobody wanted to become a New York City transplant. It must have meant that the City became so expensive, intolerant, and dull that nobody wanted to build their lives and careers there.

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Sheeran still trying to both sides it, calling Palestine 'the most complex political issue on the planet'. It's *not* complicated and that bullshit stopped many of us seeing reality for years. In 2026, there's no excuse. We have all witnessed a government murdering children and gloating about it.
