@ChristopherJM Trump doesn't know anything about history, so I can see how this got on his nerves

@michaeldweiss She's correct. It's up to the intelligence agencies to provide the necessary information to the president and give him their opinion, but only he, as the elected representative of all the people, is empowered to make that determination.
English
We're in an extraordinary moment in the history of America's national security apparatus. The notorious overreach of the intelligence community into politicizing intelligence and driving policy is the old problem. The new problem is the intelligence community's claiming it's job isn't to do the actual thing it's meant to do.

@YAppelbaum Or, we could just build enough affordable housing so that everyone would have a place to live
English
This is shaping up as the most consistent finding in housing studies: Building lots of luxury housing can reduce rents at the top of the market—but the people it helps most are renters struggling to afford even the least desirable units

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

Joe Kent & Tucker are essentially saying Trump just launched a catastrophic war on false pretenses, but they still can't stop kissing his ass: calling him so smart, courageous, such a great negotiator, even praising his Iran policy that set the stage for war. Servile and pathetic

So, what now, the world is just going to stand by and say nothing as Israel destroys Tyre?
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth
Lindsey Hilsum: "Despite the destruction, many people are not leaving Tyre.. Israel has said that everyone in this city of 200,000 should evacuate.. but many say, they've got nowhere to go & anyway, this is their land, why should they leave"

@mtracey The only book Trump is known to have read is a collection of Hitler speeches. His ex wife Ivana saw it on his nightstand
English
Bibliography of Ali Larijani, who was killed today in a US-Israeli airstrike. Imagine Trump producing works such as this 😂
English
@michaeldweiss Kent's other main argument - that there was no imminent threat from Iran - seems well supported by the facts.

US military aid to Ukraine since 2022: $66.9 billion.

SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big Will tee up giant battle in Congress

@FurkanGozukara @NathanJRobinson Clearly bad-faith negotiations by Trump intended to camouflage the attack

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

@TheStalwart @moshik_temkin just a shame we don't live in a democracy

David's polling here is incredible and deserves way more attention.
A majority of all voters, including 50% of Trump voters, are now in favor of publicly-funded job creation and healthcare to protect workers against AI-related job loss.
David Shor@davidshor
Even among Trump voters, helping workers who lose jobs to AI beats giving tech companies incentives to keep innovating 50% to 24%. Overall it's 58-20.

@mattyglesias 'work' inasmuch as it'll cause mass suffering and death?

Just to show I can do some Trump Positivity, I think this squeeze play on Cuba is going to work.
Annmarie Hordern@annmarie
NYT: The United States has told Cuba that for meaningful progress to be made in negotiations, President Miguel Díaz-Canel must step down, said people familiar with the talks.

@mtracey power is a helluva drug. not one resignation over the war

Elbridge Colby, the current Under Secretary of Defense for Policy -- long known as a "restrainer" of some sort, especially with respect to the Middle East -- previously argued that a protracted campaign of strikes against Iran would be "a recipe for perpetual war"

Trump asked US allies to join a coalition to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. This request came after Trump had imposed tariffs, stopped aid to Ukraine, threatened annexation, and even helped Russia.
And everyone said “no”.
Trump’s America First politics is a massive failure.

Crazy what has happened to NYC. Imagine if people were yelling "we support Al-Qaeda here" after 9/11.
This is the same thing. Hezbollah & Hamas are foreign terrorist organizations that have both killed Americans.
In America, you have the freedom to say you support terrorists.

@mattyglesias it's no worse than OBAO or Sinners.

After a year of threatening to go to war with one NATO ally, a boorish campaign to treat another as a colony of the U.S., and the denigration of all who fought and died for America in Afghanistan, he has the gall to say this.
