But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

for the millionth time: the original sin of this cycle was the fed taking forever just to bring back gregg, who had zero job security because the fed didn't want to hire him again in the first place. everything is downstream from that imo.

One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.

In the end though, Horn settled with the Department of Justice, paying only $59,000 to resolve allegations

Ultimately, several people involved with the companies in the deal, former Trump org staffers, ended up becoming shareholders of the company, GreenMet, that Horn launched after leaving the government

These letters, Horn said in leaked emails, positioned the company for investment and loans. He wrote them, according to the Department of Justice, at the same time as he was negotiating potential future employment with a company named in the letters, according to the DOJ.

Drew Horn signed memos on behalf of the government, expressing "official interest" in buying millions of tons of scrap coal from a small West Virginia operation. The price? $100 a ton, for an eyewatering billion dollars total.

And to do it from a high paid sinecure at the Atlantic in a field this deeply screwed up and inequitable and face no consequences grinds my gears

I get so deeply offended by this kind of crap from journalists. It’s ok to make mistakes, even ones that make you look stupid, even OK to get tricked because you have unconscious bias. But you don’t lie to readers about your own fuck ups and sell it to them as a fiction story

That McKay Coppins story is so insanely unprofessional and unethical, stunning it got published. Offensive to actual practicing journalists

Really looking forward to the administration brain geniuses deciding to solve this by blowing up a Chinese tanker

Prepared for some Brazilian partisanship

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

In terms of the actual Kurdish incursion it has two issues, first, the actual capacity of the Kurdish groups, which isn't that much, especially after repeated overextensions and bruising defeats in the last decade. Then you have the KRG leadership which doesn't wanna die and won't want to allow it

I'm incredibly incredibly skeptical that any of this goes anywhere. The CIA stuff is odd, because they're constantly running weapons through the KRG, it seems like trying to retcon things to create conditions. The specific plan appeared the other day and I don't think it was planned.
