Threatening to expel countries affected by Iran sanctions from the dollar system is, to use a technical econometric term, bonkers. The IC did analyses '22-'24 to identify *threats* (as with BRICS) to the dominance of the dollar. China already attempting to create the Renminbi as a reserve currency.

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

#BenjaminFranklinFellows post show up regularly on #LinkedIn. What amazes me is how the BFF ignores the elephant in the room on foreign policy. Bad enough that the members who all know better are fine adopting the “America First” tag. They’re all in on culture war, but somehow unaware of POTUS gaffs

My God. Kroenig isn't an idiot. He knows better. But I guess he lost a bet with Marc Thiessen on who could write the most sycophantic take on the Iran war. Where are the @thebulwark.com and @radiofreetom.bsky.social when you need them? The U.S. Won the War With Iran share.google/NNu5UJDsNKkj...

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Haas sort if has a point but the "what is so bad" about the JCPOA+ is how we potentially get there. The squandering of what moral high ground we have left, critical munitions, trust of allies. C'mon, Richard.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

This is why I try to protect words for when they are needed to convey the immediacy and threat they represent. What Trump is threatening in Iran is *genocide*, pure and simple. Of course, that word doesn't land the way it used to.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
