I think this is an accurate assessment - at least somewhere around this number.

The problem isn’t rebuilding the bases, it’s force protection.

Iran knows what works, now they’re reconstituting their capabilities during the lull in fighting.

Emboldening them was a grave mistake

I wonder why 90 days.

Couldn’t be because the midterms are in… 74 days, right? Right?

Apparently communist price controls are fine when you’re trying to get votes. Who knew?

So, I completely understand secreting POTUS away from a credible assassination attempt.

But leaving the entire Air Force One crew, press pool, etc. to play decoy is some sick shit.

Staggering levels of corruption.

They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families.

And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.

I would have preferred this fight to be a joined up university one a year and a quarter ago.

But. I guess let’s support them now. She’s not wrong.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses.

Just absolutely staggering corruption.

"The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

This is what Elon threw into the wood chipper:
“Gawande cited an analysis in The Lancet that estimated that USAID assistance—aimed at combatting diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, & polio, reducing maternal & child deaths, & fighting malnutrition—had saved 92 million lives over 2 decades.“
“The dismantling of USAID, according to models from Boston University epidemiologist Brooke Nichols, “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children,” Gawande wrote.” hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

History will look at how a small number of rapacious and malicious plutocrats, with the full complicity of a thoroughly corrupt and intellectually bankrupt political party, caused the epic collapse of the greatest nation on the planet.
Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

Farmers were told they would get help. Instead, other countries stopped buying their crops. Food sat in storage, and farmers needed government checks to survive. One year later, farm towns are still worried about money. #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

Term limits!

End the age debate. Serve up to 3 terms (6 years) in the House and 2 terms (12 years) in the Senate. Lift up the next generation, then move on.
