@peterbakernyt @ErikaSolomon I think the time for nuanced-to-death takes like this are failing to rise to the moment when your publication can’t come right out and say exactly what the entire world sees: The President is a madman with unchecked power waging an illegal war that might doom civilization.”

"Iran’s downing of an American fighter plane and the dramatic US mission that followed to rescue a stranded airman has provided both countries with fodder to claim a victory," but it could propel them "them toward further escalation," writes @ErikaSolomon nytimes.com/2026/04/05/wor…

@ByChrisGordon Honest question: Is “military-aged males” the new nomenclature for “civilians”?

In addition to MQ-9s, U.S. fighter jets were involved in the mission to rescue the downed Airman. Two MC-130J Air Force Special Operations planes that partipated in the operation were blown up on the ground by U.S. forces.

U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones protected the rescued F-15E crew member by striking Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of the Airman, a person familiar with the operation told Air & Space Forces Magazine.

@ChrisMurphyCT If I were a US Senator I would do something beyond pointing at the problem and going “Man someone should fix this thing I’m part of.”

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

@adamscochran Ocean waves, Bob.

Happy Easter…. Here is the unhinged President who claims Iran wants a deal, telling them to “open up the fucking Strait” or it’ll be a living hell. And signs off “Praise be to Allah” I thought it was fake at first…. It’s not. The cabinet is committing treason by not invoking the 25th amendment.

@magoniareview @cosmicfauxpas I don’t need any guide at all, it’s a made-up subject, a psyop + a LARP, it’s not a real thing unless you’re interested in precisely how it was constructed and how it’s deployed, and in that case it is still mostly a waste of time, but at least germane to the dis/misinfo issue.

@UnspecServices @cosmicfauxpas That's why you need MUFOB/Magonia as your guide.

if you're just getting into ufos my number one piece of advice is to familiarize yourself with the sky

@TheEconomist Republicans: “I don’t mind if he has sex with minors, and I don’t mind if he tried to plan a coup last time, and I don’t mind that he employs fat loser thugs in masks to shoot protesters, but goddammit, if I can’t afford to put gas in my fishing boat, he’s kind of gone too far!”

Inflation is the issue that American voters care about most. The unpopular war in Iran is expected to drive it up. That might explain why Donald Trump’s approval rating has reached a new low economist.com/interactive/tr…

@gottahikefast Buddy, mind control/secret base/special abolition stuff has been a trope of since the dawn of pop culture, King wrote Firestarter in like 1981, unsure why you think he is doing anything weird. Go watch the original The Manchurian Candidate starring Sinatra (it rules).

Son of Sam mentioned as a "walk-in" undergoing "secret government experiments" I'm done man, fucking burn this book

@JackStantonIV @AdamKinzinger Been told my entire life I’m supposed to revere people in uniforms who willingly sign up to be brainwashed into believing that the ability to kill is an admirable and virtuous ability and I’m pretty sure we’re seeing the end result of that concept in Iran. Question the paradigm.

@UnspecServices @AdamKinzinger Fuck off. Moron

I don't know their names. But I know exactly who they are. A pilot and a WSO are on the ground in Iran today. I wrote about what that means — and why America doesn't leave its people behind. (link in reply)

@SeanMcCarthyCom I am sure the new people being genocided right now are comforted by the fact that the small sliver of Americans still attuned to global news beyond Googling “gas price high why” are being reminded that genocides happen. Are you fucking stupid?

Every few weeks Democrat dead enders yell at me for saying this but it’s important to remember that if Kamala won all these same people would be pointing to her victory as evidence that Gaza didn’t matter and nobody cared

@bartdecrem @KelseyTuoc @mattyglesias @Timodc My takeaway from this thoughtful report is that American voters are morons and that we have conjured our own doom.

Terrific piece by @KelseyTuoc and it directly hits two things @mattyglesias and @Timodc talk about alot (moderate on quotas + Biden aversion) open.substack.com/pub/theargumen…

@JackMurphee @RadioFreeTom @TheAtlantic Look can we stop calling it a culture war now and get serious and call it what it is, which is a coup? How is this not a coup? You guys are misreading it, just like you misread January 6th, which was also obviously a coup from the moment the election ended.

theatlantic.com/politics/2026/… "Hegseth—now scathingly called “Dumb McNamara” by some Pentagon staff—has busied himself with culture-war nonsense rather than substantive defense and security issues." @RadioFreeTom in @TheAtlantic

@Tanya_Sabrinaaa TMZ probably ended the TSA portion of the shutdown itself which is more than the NYT has accomplished in the Trump era.

tmz: we tracked down all 86 politicians who were refusing to pay TSA agents and asked them why they are little bitch boys nyt: melania makes an incredible peach cobbler

@Timodc How were you friends with these people JFC

Is Rich on mushrooms?

@JCowleyHoops This trade was the equivalent of the scam where the guy in a parking lot tries to sell you a “high end speaker set” for $100 because he “has an extra.” To get a fifth overall pick for Huerter was sketch AF from the jump and Bulls got played.

@adamscochran I hate that it’s come to this, but: How much stake do you put in the idea that Trump is filling ridiculous cases like this so that the court can performatively “stand up” to him in order to look on the level for downstream rulings that have real voter suppression implications?

I don't often have much good to say about Kavanaugh or Gorsuch, and only occasionally have something good to say about ACB. Today however, they merit some praise. Trump went to the oral arguments to intimidate the loyalist judges. And at least in their line of questioning, all three of these Justices showed they knew the absurdity not only of the underlying claim, but of the suggestion that the POTUS can interpret by executive order, a constitutional amendment. This is one of the few times they've really stood their ground on something - and while questions do not equal final decisions, and no matter how I feel about their political and legal ideologies; I think its critical to recognize, that today they didn't their job. They did not act as political pawns, and in the face of an unprecedented influence attempt by the executive branch, reminded the President that the court is independent. And I respect that.

@EMPOWR_us @mtaibbi Yeah everyone support the independent journalists who worked in American hero Chuck Grassley’s office, became lobbyists, and now spend their time shoveling cash into the Matt Taibbi disinformation furnace! You people are disgusting bottom feeders. empowr.us/leadership/

@gottahikefast What’s coming down the pipe next is some kind of religious deal, a UFO “Disclosure” + Christianity + Trump thing. Won’t work, but seems like that’s what they’re after. You know, besides crashing the global economy, which is easier and more effective vis-a-vis their ultimate aims.

I'm getting more intrigued about how and why the Qanon shitcoat operation was deployed when it was. Lasted just long enough to create Jan 6th and usher an open fascist into power twice, then discarded / cult abandoned by fed disinfo goons. Wonder what's coming down the pipe next

@dandarling @WNGdotorg They’re not your Bulls and neither is the word of Jesus yours to twist into something hateful. I’m a lapsed Catholic and all of you proselytizing, hypocritical closet cases demonizing gay people are the reason why I know organized religion blows. He got cut because he’s nuts.

First time writing about my Chicago Bulls for @WNGdotorg and I wish it was for a better reason. My latest on cutting Jaden Ivey and a seeming double standard: wng.org/opinions/bad-c…
