By the way nobody is arguing that the Iranian military isn’t diminished . It is (but now they have the cash to rebuild) A military exists to achieve an outcome. And the Iranian military achieved theirs. The regime is in place, we’ve promised to leave the region, we’re lifting sanctions, etc

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: When you have somebody like Todd Blanche at the helm of the DOJ, it’s hugely problematic. He has the president’s best interests at heart. He does not have the American people’s best interests at heart. He’s so unfit to be the acting attorney general.

Ossoff: The president has been humiliated on the world stage. Many Americans are increasingly concerned about his stability and his capacity for the office. It’s deeply distressing to Americans to see a president so incompetent attempting and failing to represent the nation.

The red state, blue state divide is real. But it's driven by more than just politics
Recent research suggests there's more going on with "ideological sorting" than simply moving to places that match one's politics. It's often one of many deciding factors, such as taxes or safety.

The obligation of a prosecutor to act ethically is especially important in the grand jury, where there is no judge or defense counsel to intervene. Prosecutors in Trump's DOJ are ignoring those obligations and eroding the judicial trust built up over decades. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

This is the part getting almost no coverage: to rebuild what we burned in Iran, we need critical minerals. Minerals that China controls. The war in Iran costs more than lives and dollars, it’s handing Beijing leverage over our recovery. Full deep-dive on this at the link in my reply.

Or the United States, where you have a president who’s been imposing tariffs, launching wars, shaking you down for essentially tribute payments?

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.
