The Islamic Republic of Iran has officially informed Pakistan that it will not attend talks with the United States tomorrow and that its decision is final.

Vice President JD Vance has cancelled his trip to Pakistan.

The possibility exists that the war could start again in just a matter of hours.

Two US officials who died after Mexico drug raid reported to be CIA agents Mexico to investigate possible breach of its constitution and assess US’s role in anti-drug operation near Chihuahua

Uhhhh.

2 US officials killed in a car accident after a supposedly joint USA-Mexico anti-drug op (that President of Mexico denies knowing of or having approved)…

…were allegedly CIA.

Yes, I absolutely believe Trump regime prob. did do, & is doing, worse than what this looks like

Starting to look like a systematic removal of all of the women in the administration. I mean, they're all monsters, same as the men in the administration, but still.

Wilbur, or this shiny young one?

I don't want the bombing to start again, so this lie is good, but this is also the biggest signal that Trump knows he's lost this thing I've yet seen.

US at risk of running out of missiles if another war breaks out after depleting stockpile in Iran operations | CNN Politics The US military has significantly depleted its stockpile of key missiles during the war with Iran and created a “near-term risk” of running out of ammunition in a future conflict should one arise in t...

The US has lost its war with Iran. There's no avoiding it. If an aggressor country cannot continue fighting because it is running so low on munitions as to be vulnerable to outside threats, it has lost. Iran has beaten us and it's now about terms of surrender.

tbf, Ken Burns, in The Holocaust and the US, is showing how the NatSocialists cut and pasted from Jim Crow.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

“For hundreds of years Germany was good enough to receive these elements, although they possessed nothing except infectious political and physical diseases”.

-Hitler, speaking of the Jewish population in a speech to the Reichstag, January 30, 1930.

The Warsh hearing is noise, what he's saying doesn't matter.

Even once he gets confirmed, he's just one BoG/FOMC vote. He doesn't set rates himself! It's all highly contingent! Plus there is ~zero correlation between what any Trump Admin nominee has said to Congress and what they do on the job. All a massive waste of time to focus on.

With no end in sight to their deployment, National Guard troops roam Washington Eight months after President Donald Trump declared a crime emergency in the nation’s capital and called up the National Guard, more than 2,500 troops remain.

For example, when asked in a Politico interview whether it was "a litmus test that the new chair lower interest rates immediately," Trump said "Yes."

More good news for Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, Nigeria etc. The US military not only is being purged of competent generals and is running low on patriot missiles, it will also be unvaccinated and thus more susceptible to disease epidemics.

Cities Church and its White Christian Nationalism deserve scrutiny • Minnesota Reformer Cities Church is not your run-of-the-mill Jesus-loving Christian church.

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.

Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.
