Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.
Hegseth: "The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objections with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more."

This is the most insane shit you could possibly say about this conflict. If you view this as a battle of attrition, the US military are going to light trillions of dollars on fire in absolutely glorious defeat the likes of which the world hasn’t seen. Truly can’t think of any way it could be dumber.
Hegseth: "Iran is hoping we cannot sustain this, which is a really bad miscalculation. There's no shortage of American will. We remember & honor our fallen, those 6 we will soon welcome at Dover who gave everything. But we remember them be rededicating ourselves even more fervently to this mission."

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
My entire adult life has been a series of powerful people lying without repercussion. It’s only logical we got to this point. Iraq War, Too Big To Fail, Birtherism, Senate Maj. Ldr Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, January 6, Palestine. No one has ever gotten their just desserts.

"Trump is using tax dollars as a weapon to enact his social policy without the hassle of having to get Congress to pass a law. He would prefer to bombastically state what the law is & bully everyone into complying rather than test out his fantastical legal theories in court." — @lizdye.bsky.social

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The President of the United States really does seem hellbent on intentionally destroying the U.S. economy. And even after everything we have seen, there are still some folks—in fact some very powerful, wealthy people—who have not really come to terms with this."

NEW — I wrote about Beker Rengifo, a Montana resident from Venezuela who was taken by ICE on Thursday after a routine traffic stop, and how local law enforcement is working with the feds to ensnare people with legal status.

A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop. My latest for @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/scient...

“Contrary to U.S. law and long-established Constitutional rights…”. I know it gets boring to say every time, but that really belongs in the headline for claims like this.
President Trump asserted on Tuesday that undocumented immigrants should not be entitled to trials, insisting that his administration should be able to deport them without appearing before a judge.

Guys, I have bad news: Lowering tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 65% still destroys the economy. It appears totally lost on people just *how* absurd 145% is. This is like saying we're no longer going to shoot you 15 times. Only 7 times. You are still dead, but please thank us.
NEW YORK (AP) - US stocks open sharply higher after Trump eases concerns over the trade war and says he won't try to fire Powell.

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research
There is a PR narrative quickly emerging about “entitlement” of elite universities, as if this $ is some sort of subsidy Harvard & others must counter this quickly The $ doesn’t flow into Harvard’s coffers - this is grant money, most of which goes to research the govt has agreed has social value

Truly hideous stuff. In additional to illegal actions you have the DOGE engineer boys simply cutting off payments to places like Catholic Charities used to assist the poorest of the poor. It’s like pulling wings off flies type stuff for these little sociopaths.
DOGE has abruptly imposed new “defend the spend” rules before paying out federal health-care grants It’s forcing manual reviews of thousands of routine transactions Some organizations still waiting for $$ they expected days ago Scoop with @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social @hannahnatanson.bsky.social

Gosh, very difficult legal question, is it "facilitating" someone's return when you're paying another country to detain them?
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

There used to be a saying, not sure how often it’s used anymore, when someone would ask permission to do something: “It’s a free country.” I know we aren’t all civics experts, but when people living here can be snatched and thrown in prison without being charged or tried, it’s not a free country!!!
