UAE agrees with Saudi Arabia to re-enter Yemen conflict amid Houthi gains
United Arab Emirates will reportedly resume payments to Yemeni forces as gains by Iran-backed Houthi fighters alarm Gulf state rulers * Yemen civil war: what sparked latest escalation and who is involved? The United Arab Emirates has agreed to re-enter the Yemen conflict by resuming payments to some government forces fighting Iran-aligned Houthis in the south, according to sources in Yemen. In return, Saudi Arabia has agreed to provide air cover for the anti-Houthi force. The new cooperation agreement is the first tangible signs that the deep rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over Yemen’s future is starting to be healed – if only because the advance by Houthi forces across Yemen has alarmed all the rival Gulf state rulers.

As incompetence goes, Zacharia was no worse than the guys running Defense and HHS. She just wasn’t as committed to or as skilled at the bit. And unlike them, she killed zero innocent people during her tenure in the administration. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Counter to this Kremlinist, revisionist nonsense: accepting the request of those independent Eastern European states into NATO has directly led to them becoming more democratic, more prosperous, and they did not befall the same fate as Georgia and then Ukraine.

GO NANCY GO! When Hegseth fired Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore and ended her 35-year Navy career last summer, he offered no explanation. He also, without meaning to, launched her new political career. Now, 3 weeks from Election Day, Lacore is running, in the most recent poll, slightly ahead!

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

taking away polling sites always seem like the *least* effective means of stopping people from voting. they WILL walk every mile, to express their power to vote. it's insane we have to keep fighting the racists who want to stop blacks from voting. #GetTheVoteOut #RightToVote #FreedomBallot

Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about. Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission. Then show them this insane shit.

In college I worked for a painting company for 3 hours. I started and found out we were paid by the piece, which meant the company could pay us lower than minimum wage because they purposely underbid jobs to get work. So I bailed after I got my sandwich.

I thought Scaramucci was 11 days. Maybe if we threw in a leap day... I think most people are starting Zacharia on this past Monday, giving it five days, or one week... (stop me before I start singing that song again aaaaaah)
