I try.... Do you?

Wouldn’t it be easier & safer if local LE worked w Feds to deport criminal aliens? Instead they ACTIVELY SHEILD them from immigration law making it harder & more dangerous.

@gunrightsdustin voters demanded exactly this. they are getting exactly what they voted for.

🚨BREAKING: After pushing for sweeping gun control, a slew of tax hikes, and dozens of far-Left policies... a new Washington Post poll ranks Virginia's Abigail Spanberger as one of the most unpopular VA governors in modern history. Voters hate big government gun grabbers.

@bethanyshondark @weatherinNC giphy.com/clips/groundho…

@weatherinNC Can you explain for the non meteorologists

@IanTLovejoy not sure that means a damn thing

For those stuck behind the paywall, Spanberger has an anemic +1 favorability. (47% approve vs 46% disapprove). After a 15 point margin of victory and compared to Youngkin at +10 at the same point in his first year. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

@sentdefender Giant Balls

Tonight’s operation in Southern Iran which resulted in the successful rescue of a Weapons System Officer (WSO) onboard an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed Friday over Iran, involved hundreds of special forces troops and other military personnel, including members of the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, dozens of fighter and strike aircraft, helicopters, and cyber, space and other intelligence capabilities, officials tell The New York Times. Senior military officials described the mission to rescue the airman as “one of the most challenging and complex in the history of U.S. Special Operations” given the mountainous terrain, the airman’s injuries and Iranian forces rushing to the location in the mountains of Southern Iran. The WSO evaded Iranian forces for more than 24 hours, at one point hiking up a 7,000ft ridgeline, a senior U.S. military official said. U.S. attack aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to keep them away from the area where the airman was hiding. As U.S. Special Forces converged on the downed airman, they fired their weapons to keep Iranian forces away from the rescue site, but did not engage in a firefight with the Iranians. In a final twist after the officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airman, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into the hands of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

@maddenifico you're ridiculous

I agree with renowned historian Timothy Snyder. Trump is going to stage a coup. As Snyder explains, Trump's proposed 50% defense budget increase should be seen as nothing short of a bribe to secure military loyalty for a coup attempt — and that a staged domestic terror attack is Trump's best remaining path to nullifying elections. Pete Hegseth's recent firing of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George is more evidence that the fascist authoritarian Trump regime is more interested in loyalty than competence. If the 79-year-old pedophile psychopath is to succeed in conning the US Armed Forces into supporting him in overthrowing American democracy and the constitution, his only chance is to have quislings and sycophants throughout the top brass in the military.

@Enquirer Medical debt relief - Dr. and other service providers don't get paid. We'll see how long that can sustain "world class health care"

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton unveiled a sweeping affordability agenda that includes refundable tax credits and medical debt relief. cincinnati.com/story/news/pol…

@AlexCrawfordSky "No evidence of the claim"...........................?

Utterly incorrect and the very essence of dishonest reporting. I’ve never said they had no Hezbollah affiliation - patently ridiculous as one worked for an Hez-owned channel and the other was pro-Hez too. I reported the widespread assertion this connection transgressed int law as they were journos NOT combatants. Hez flags don’t make you combatants

@still_hustling Glad i live in Warren Co and i don't have to pay for it.

How do you guys feel about the streetcar? I think if you can't expand it you need to pause it. This is a lot of money wasted that could be going to solve real issues the City of Cincinnati is facing.

@SaP011 this is absolutely disgusting.

Germany 🇩🇪: A 20-year-old German girl has been sent to prison for “hateful comments” against 9 immigrants convicted of gang-raping a 14-year-old German girl. Her crime? Calling them “pigs, rapists, without honor.” Even though semen from all 9 was found on the child, only 1 of the rapists ended up in prison. The story ends with the girl who wrote against the rapists receiving a harsher punishment than the rapists themselves.

@mattyglesias was it ever the goal? That's the responsibility and obligation of the Iranian ppl.

Now that Trump has given up on regime change as a goal and also given up on negotiating a reopening of Hormuz why not just stop bombing? His big political asset is that nobody in conservative media or advocacy will hit him from the right for TACOing.

@RKelanic @Chandravir @clary_co What a giant cope....................

Using cluster bombs on Israeli cities is highly immoral, but not irrational. Israel's willingness to absorb costs is lower than Iran's, because Iran is existentially threatened whereas Israel is not. Even Netanyahu said the other day the threat was removed. That said, it probably won't work to stop the war, either.

What could possibly be the military rationale for this. There isn’t one.

@RKelanic @JEyal_RUSI That's hardly the point

@JEyal_RUSI We aren't in a ground war with Iran.

@Reuters stop.

@NBCNews she can't go away soon enough

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that she is now opposing all U.S. military aid to Israel, a shift in her previous position that made exceptions to support Israeli efforts to defend itself. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

@AmericanVsGov Iranians are free to liberate Iran.

Why is no one talking about liberating Iran anymore? I thought we were getting rid of a bad regime, to free Iranians? I thought we were getting rid of an evil "illegal" leader of Venezuela. Venezuela isn't anymore free than they were with Maduro..... It wasn't about freeing the people of those countries. It was for their OIL!

@DesperateChem @bonchieredstate what value, really does Spain and France offer the alliance, militarily? please be specific.

@bonchieredstate How retarded are you? Seriously. It's a defensive alliance, my guy, under no obligation to get involved in a war our idiot president starts without telling them first.

We don't need NATO to secure the Atlantic anymore. So he's telling us the alliance offers no value to the United States. Good to know.

@Dan1763 @akidderz @mattyglesias 100s of iranian rockets and drones target civilians in ME countries and israel. iranian terror proxies have killed and maimed 1000s of Americans. fuck off.

@akidderz @mattyglesias It’s Trump and Hegseth blowing up girls schools and hospitals and pharma factories it’s Iranians blowing up E-3’s on the tarmac and THAAD radars and US naval bases

When you’re threatening to reduce civilian living conditions in a foreign country to stone age levels, you need to ask yourself some questions.

@mattyglesias @OklahomaTuba not to mention the many 1000s of Americans they've maimed and killed over the last 50 years.

@OklahomaTuba No, they’re very bad. I’m just saying that as bad as they are they have never killed people on the scale that Hegseth is suggesting.

@mattyglesias @OklahomaTuba the regime just very recently slaughtered 40,000 ppl, Matt.

@mattyglesias They won't of course, bc they are hate-filled religious zealots intent on terror and death to the west. they chose a path.

@mattyglesias or, there terrorists could surrender.
