I’ve made the case for years that America’s adversaries don’t need ICBMs or hypersonic missiles to hit the homeland. Years before Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, I argued that covert teams armed with small drones can strike US airbases. Watching this threat unfold has been like that scene in Austin Powers when the dude stands in place and waits for the steam roller to crush him. We know these attacks are coming, and yet I fear we still won’t take the necessary defensive measures until the tarmac at some American air base is littered with the burnt-out shells of ruined warplanes.

A wave of illegal drone incursions this month raised alarms at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, according to a confidential briefing document reviewed by ABC News. @AaronKatersky reports.

This is wild. The @WhiteHouse plagiarized its reason for launching a war on Iran from @FDD, a cutout of Israeli intelligence. Side-by-side screenshots in the 🧵

The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

With all the heat recently, you might have forgotten that today is the spring equinox, the day when the apparent path of the sun crosses into the northern hemisphere. One more day of extreme heat today before temperatures cool into the "pretty hot" this weekend. #CAwx

$200 BILLION IS ENOUGH TO: - Double the annual per‑person spending on K–12 education. - Expand the ACA tax credit for 7 years. - Provide up to 2 million people the SNAP benefits they need. - Provide a middle class tax break of $3,500. Instead, we will spend it on an illegal war. This is only the beginning. More money will be wasted. More lives will be lost.

California's natural air-conditioning gets turned, as a solid, albeit shallow, stratus layer fills in coastside. This will knock down maxima near the coast. The real question being how far inland it will influence inland temps as onshore gradients are currently pretty weak.

Sitting here watching the wind kiss the poppies and suddenly there’s not another care in the world. I love it in beautiful Southern California.
