The Second Cold War has begun. Now is the time for armored divisions, not political divisions. Ever prone to the fallacy that you want me to reply to your opinions with my own, often differing, opinions. No follow back. In fact, I block follow farmers.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

These are the 20th and 21st paragraphs of a story titled "Superpowers Race to Put Nuclear Reactors on the Moon" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/w...
Target dates have repeatedly slipped, and [highlight] few experts expect the countries to meet their deadlines. [/highlight] Nobody has a proven lander that can lower heavy, potentially radioactive material onto bumpy lunar terrain. Nobody has ever installed a reactor in low gravity.

The moon bases have not been built, and how much electricity they would need is open to speculation. That is why experts say that all or parts of the reactor designs could change.

The fact that both Democrats and Republicans are racing to the 10 side of a 90-10 issue really tells you a lot about the state of our democracy (it's a corporatocracy), and how both parties view democracy in general (as a nuisance).

Usurping Congress’ power of the purse blatantly violates not only the US Constitution and the American Revolution’s “no taxation without representation,” but the Glorious Revolution as well. The very idea of a legislature and public funds. They’re taking us back to pre-United States. Good thread:

As someone who really wants AI companies to be limited in the damage they're doing to the world, it's incredibly frustrating when the most vocal contingent of AI skeptics keep repeating the idea that AI doesn't work at all. Maybe that was the case 3 years ago but not any longer.

Americans have had to pay an extra $95 BILLION for gasoline and diesel since President Trump decided to attack Iran on February 28, 2026. A war that hurts the global economy, undermines US power, creates hardship for working class, and helps the Iranian regime stay.🛢️🇺🇸 iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

He knows what the bond market is. It is silly, bordering on specious for Rachael Maddow or her producer to suggest otherwise. Trump is saying that he is willing to use additional military force in Iran if that is what it takes to open the Strait and settle the bond market.

For reference, you could build more than 100 Arleigh Burkes for the same price point (~$2.5bn per unit cost). 100 Arleigh Burkes would collectively have 9,600 VLS cells, vs. just 2,100 for the BBG(N)s.

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

I think people should be able to live traditional lives if they want, so long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to live non-traditional lives. I also favor strong alliances and a very robust national defense, which USED TO put me towards the right on foreign policy.
