@Anna_Giaritelli @dcexaminer Lol that piece of paper means they entered the country legally. Later on they just didn’t keep up with the paperwork, that’s made them “illegal.” These ICE guys don’t understand their own job

@confusionm8trix I had a dream that I was in Jurassic Park sort of. It was fun

last night I dreamed that this picture became a viral internet sensation associated with the phrase "drink up if you're so fish." so go nuts I guess

@InezFeltscher What kind of weird fake think tank do you work for lady

Women are not choosing between a more traditional life and careerism on an even playing field. Our policy and law shoves practically shoves them into the workforce. Cut the girlboss subsidies and legal punishments for the traditional family, and then we’ll truly see “free choice.”

@dmtrubman You're talking about acting as a single payer but sacrificing that benefit by paying Costco as though you were 46k single payers. It's far more advantageous to the city to feed that investment back into itself, rather than sending it to Costco HQ in WA
English
With the $30 million Mayor Mamdani is planning on spending on building a new public market in East Harlem you could give more than 46 thousand households membership to the nearby Costco for a decade.
That's not even counting the waived rent and taxes the mayor has proposed.

Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at:
9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo)
9:50pm (Trump tower on moon)
10:10pm (dumb meme)
10:32pm (news clip)
10:53pm (news clip)
12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade)
2:35am (article about Biden)
2:36am (article on naval blockade)
2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell)
2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again)
2:38am (article on his ballroom)
4:10am (article on Iran)
He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.

It was @TrueAnonPod's recent coverage that convinced him

The state will not finance these things, neither the event called CPAC nor other related institutions such as the Mathias Corvinus Collegium and similar attached bodies. I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place, it was a crime. Mixing party financing with government spending from the state budget is, in my view, a criminal offense, and this will have to be investigated by the future authorities, including the National Office for the Recovery and Protection of Public Assets, since those budgetary funds were not meant to finance party events. CPAC is welcome to come to Budapest, very welcome, but it should not be financed with Hungarian taxpayers’ money. It should be funded by Fidesz, or by Orbán’s proxies, at least until that money is taken back.

@InlandCaGuy Helen Andrews' job is an email job and she surely employs a maid. Her mortgage and other markers of class status are also all federally subsidized. Even the corn she eats is
English
"In this brilliant essay, the author introduces a brilliant new definition of what a subsidy is: anything she does not like."

@zriboua North Korea!? No North Korea is obviously not joining the war.
The Houthis and Hezbollah did though. Hezbollah just vowed to keep fighting no matter what happens in the Lebanon-Israel peace talks that start in the US tomorrow
English
North Korea not joining, Houthis not joining, Hezbollah can’t join, Militias in both Syria and Iraq are either handicapped or got completely destroyed. These things reveal that the IRGC’s strategy which has consisted of using proxies as both a shield and an offensive force is over. North Korea obviously cares far more about remaining independent than helping a dying a regime.

@NikTSharma8 @gonglei89 China will wait on Taiwan and slowly buy up more of its land and its companies. In the Persian Gulf too it will wait. It doesn't want any war. It hasn't been in a war in 40 years because it's good at not getting in wars
English
@NikTSharma8 @gonglei89 Sailing to Taiwan and seizing US vessels there is ridiculously reckless. You're engaging in paranoid fantasy if you're coming up with reasons why China would add a war on Taiwan to another war it also isn't starting, hasn't started or showed any sign of engaging in
English
Unfortunately that kind of play would require China’s compliance to the game and what China will most likely do instead is let the block happen, use the rare earth card, and then outbid everyone else for remaining oil barrels in the global market with their giant trade surplus 🤷🏻♂️
chinahand@chinahand
if there's 12D chess going on w/ the hormuz blockade, it involves USN seizing China-bound tankers, forcing PRC to deplete its strategic reserves before the next crisis, meanwhile privileging "friends" to lift oil from US at ridiculous prices while the majors make bank.

@RiEG0hG2njIwprL @tootisen @howardbaskerv @CENTCOM @Natsecjeff So to take just one of them as an example, the Chinese wikipedia and Baidu in China don't call it what your autotranslator says they do. They call it 波斯湾 The Persian Gulf zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/波斯湾 baike.baidu.com/item/波斯湾/573463?fromModule=BaiduWiki_Ja
English
@RiEG0hG2njIwprL @tootisen @howardbaskerv @CENTCOM @Natsecjeff Welcome to the fact that places can have any name in any language, and have in fact had many different names in each language over the centuries. These all mean Gulf of Arabia because you used a US-based service to generate them, and the US insists on that term lately
English
@alhamedi1234 @NazaninNour Few generations and the deserts of Arabia will be even more unlivably hot than they are now, partly due to us using all their oil
English
@NazaninNour Google calls it Arabian 😘
Few generations and people will forget this Persian gulf argument.
English
It’s the Persian Gulf now and forever, regardless of what any U.S. official says.
English
@RKelanic @BartDePalma Very well-put, though I'll say this: in a failed state it's much easier to just pick the warlord along that Gulf coast and sponsor them. They won't block the waterway because we'll be backing them against the 999 other sides in the Iranian civil war
English
@BartDePalma Failed states can still attack waterways, like the Houthis in the Red Sea.
FWIW Iran has never initiated a conventional war on its neighbors or anyone else.
Not because the regime are angels — they aren’t — but because Iran’s leaders are rational and have been deterred.
English
Blockading Iran will not compel its surrender.
After enduring 6 weeks of war, Iran’s leaders won’t suddenly decide, “Oh, we can’t use our ports now. We better meet U.S. demands.”
Trump can’t escalate the U.S. out of this mess. The war failed — now it’s time to cut losses.
@defpriorities
English
@BartDePalma @RKelanic Iran hates the fucking Taliban. The last time they were its ally was when we were the ones mostly funding it, against the USSR in the 80s
English
@RKelanic Iran waged proxy wars against the US through the Taliban, Iraqi Shia militias, Hizbollah, Hamas, Houthis and several small terror groups killing hundreds of Americans. We are decades late in ending these war criminals.
English
@BartDePalma @RKelanic It will turn it into a giant version of the Syrian civil war that will spread to all of its neighbors
English
@RKelanic Blockade should be just the start. Reducing Iran to a failed state will deny it the ability to war on its neighbors and build nukes.
English
@PeachyK24921284 @WarMonitor3 There is no risk. All its ships have to do is sail over to a non-Iranian Gulf port where plenty of oil is for sale
English
@WarMonitor3 and China said they would retaliate by sending in their naval ships to sink US ones. not going to risk losing a tanker.
English
Looks as if an energy ship bound for China has already been turned back around by the US navy.
English
@MarcThielke @WarMonitor3 @NewReaganCaucus It can, will, and the whole UN other than us will listen. Because most countries are not so stupid as to believe that China's always trying to start wars without having been in one for many decades. Those islands are far closer to it than us. We're paranoid, entitled
English
@WarMonitor3 @NewReaganCaucus Keep in mind how China behaves in its neighbors waters, ramming ships, water cannons and building sand dredge islands.
China can’t complain about other countries actions in international waters.
English
@nordicalien777 @WarMonitor3 Way to wish misery on nearly 1/4 of the human race
English
@WarMonitor3 Sounds good. China needs to suffer economically.
English
@Fraser_USA @WarMonitor3 They're gonna be fine
English
@WarMonitor3 It can just sail over to Oman, Bahrain, Qatr, buy the oil there then transit through the Gulf for free. Everyone in the Gulf has backed up oil exports. They're clamoring to offload it
English
