Agent Orange (delicious)

NYT reporting on classified U.S. intelligence assessments of Iranian missile capacity reiterates that they maintained 70% of their missiles and launchers but adds that 90% of their underground storage and launch facilities are also still active. Iran had designed is missile program with the acknowledgement of not being able to protect its airspace and relied on hardened underground "missile cities" to compensate. U.S. and Israeli attacks apparently disabled the entrances to some of these facilities and hit surface buildings. But as many observed at the time the attacks were failing to actually penetrate the underground facilities where the operations were carried out and missiles kept in storage. Most problematically for a renewed campaign the missile complexes near Hormuz are almost all still active according to the assessment. If the U.S. intel assessment is accurate it also explains why Iran was able to maintain a steady rate of missile fire until the end of the war, and also suggests that the U.S. and Israel simply wasted a lot of top-tier standoff munitions firing at rock complexes that it failed to penetrate.

Chris Rabb, PA-03 candidate, calls out the Obama administration for not prosecuting anyone in the 2008 financial crisis "The biggest financial theft in history! And we ceded our responsibility as Democrats and as public servants to do the right thing when it mattered most. Whatever authority we have, we gotta fully use it. When we normalize evil and corruption—if we cede that authority—we're complicit."

I’m obviously pro dumping Tisch, but like….is there someone we Do want? who is the harm reduction candidate for police commissioner lol

Palestinian children were prevented from going to school by razor wire and Israeli soldiers — so they sat down and studied right in front of them

Polls seem to show Israel is dead to democrats. I never thought I’d see that in my lifetime

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: The Democratic Party keeps picking its own winners. Obama wasn’t supposed to run. Bernie got locked out — twice. Biden couldn’t read the room. 107 days. A loss. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is running for Senate in Michigan and he said what nobody in the party will say out loud: “There is a divide between what the establishment says Democrats should fight for — and what Democratic voters actually want.” Medicare for All. Ending a genocide paid for by your taxes. A primary process where ideas actually compete. Michigan is the test case. Full conversation — first episode of The Allen Analysis, dropping this week on X. Never stop connecting the dots.
