The admin operates from a sincere belief that every country is either a vassal of the US or ought to be. Their bewilderment when other nations act in their own interest isn’t theater: they genuinely cannot imagine a world that doesn’t orbit Trump. That failure of imagination killed the postwar order

Really think the game being played with futures markets is leaving a lot of folks unprepared for the future which now seems functionally locked in.

If supply is down 10m barrels a day, then demand will, eventually, have to conform and that is going to be unpleasant.

It hasn't been clear whether Iran was deliberately manipulating the negotiations to play the admin or whether there actually isn't anyone in charge. But it's the latter.

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

[also whispers] in fact this is why the redistricting wars began

Spanberger secures the Mandate of Heaven. Fairfax County hegemony is inevitable.

Dort posting about how he's awake against the nightmare (the nightmare is the jews) .

Jennica is obviously fucking insane, like "has cooked her brain to the point she's indistinguishable from someone with schizophrenia" but dort, boy, I dunno

Kinda seems suboptimal a FGO is applaudingly RTing stuff saying his service secretary is part of a jew plot to depose the president

Lloyd's List: At least 26 Iranian shadow fleet vessels bypass US blockade

Trump + Wall Street: This is fine 🔥🐶☕🔥

Via NYT: Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo A U.S. aid worker said that the Afghans, who were evacuated to Qatar, would face a choice between moving to the Democratic Republic of Congo and living under the Taliban.

Can you imagine the state of HUMINT? Betrayal after betrayal.

Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.

I don’t know anything about this game or this discourse but if the OP spent any time around youth sports, they’d know how terribly wrong their take is. Men absolutely care about others’ kids.

We don’t have to look far back to find an example of this actually happening. The USS Theodore Roosevelt was reduced to a skeleton crew after Covid ripped through the decks in 2020.

Hey remember when Covid took an entire CVN off the board?

Dollar stability depends on Fed credibility. I’m not an economist but I’d imagine this answer is a pretty significant stressor.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

He believes wealthy countries are impervious to foreign attacks?

Illustrating once again the extent to which the Venezuela raid emboldened Trump to engage in further military adventurism.

hmmm…

good to see that the war which isn't a war and that we've already won and will win any day now isn't having any impact on the strait of hormuz which is currently open and closed, otherwise, iran might be launching strikes from equipment that's been totally destroyed

The “Z” on the payload fairing 🤢

Importantly, Sapphire was done with knowledge and cooperation of the host government (Kazakhstan). It took a month. It was not done under fire in enemy territory

It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing. Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.

I mean, of course that’s what happening. It’s been clear the whole time

The parties are not the same.

Tell everyone.

Genuinely astonished at our good luck that the two oldest justices on the court, both MAGA fuckheads, are so egotistical they refuse to let Trump replace them with 30 year old groypers

Under international law, transit through waterways like the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and free of charge. This is what leaders made clear in their call on reopening the Strait today. (1/3)

Australia's 2026 national defence strategy just dropped: "We have entered a more dangerous and unpredictable era, characterised by a more overt struggle among states where thresholds against the use of force are being eroded." www.defence.gov.au/about/strate...

Both docs should be declassified to the extent possible. We are not doing this whole “secret exceptions to the 4th amendment” crap again or we are going to face a problem of another Snowden-like figure running off with tons of classified docs.
