@DataRepublican @data_republican Bingo. Now we're speaking the same language.

@data_republican From their perspective, democracy IS a multilateral set of neutral institutions and has virtually nothing to do with elections.

The arrogance and self-importance of this guy is astounding! Our worst enemies are right here in our own country living among us, enjoying the benefits our country offers while undermining the will of the people!

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨 His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis. The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat". When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared." Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to." Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security." His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active. I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

🚨 BREAKING: US intelligence has determined that just ~33% of Iran's missile arsenal has been destroyed as the Iran War nears its 1-month mark, per Reuters.
My analysis after over 30+ years:
The high number of buried or protected assets stems from Iran’s decades-long strategy of building extensive “missile cities” — vast networks of underground tunnels, storage halls, and launch facilities carved deep into mountain ranges.
Many of these hardened sites sit beneath hundreds of feet (in some cases reportedly up to around 500 meters) of dense granite and reinforced concrete, explicitly designed to survive aerial bombardment and preserve a second-strike capability.
As a result, even after heavy strikes that have destroyed numerous surface launchers, production facilities, and exposed infrastructure, a significant portion of the arsenal could potentially remain recoverable or extractable over time.
The campaign has delivered a major blow: Iran’s missile and drone launch rate has plummeted dramatically (reports indicate drops of 90% or more in some phases), but it has not eliminated the threat outright.
Instead, it has sharply reduced Iran’s ability to sustain large-scale barrages, effectively pausing rather than ending the missile danger for the foreseeable future.
In practical terms, while entrances, ventilation systems, and mobile launchers emerging from the complexes have been repeatedly targeted, fully neutralizing deeply buried stockpiles inside reinforced mountain facilities remains extremely difficult with conventional munitions.
Again, the underground architecture was built precisely for this kind of resilience, meaning the program has been severely degraded and disrupted—but not annihilated.

BREAKING: US intelligence has determined that just ~33% of Iran's missile arsenal has been destroyed as the Iran War nears its 1-month mark, per Reuters. Details include: 1. The intelligence assessment shows Iran still has "significant missile inventory" 2. The status of around another third is less clear but bombings likely "damaged, destroyed, or buried" those missiles in underground tunnels and bunkers 3. Sources say US intelligence was similar for Iran's drone capability 4. Iran is expected to recover some buried or damaged missiles once fighting stops Tomorrow is the 1-month mark of the war.

@denstarr4 It's not about love or who you had a baby with. It's about destroying a culture.

I know many of us find this revolting, not so much because of the race mixing, but more so the constant repetition of the same agenda.
At the end of the day, other than not patronizing their products, is there anything we can do to make companies understand there is absolutely nothing wrong with utilizing a fully white couple, or are we destined to have this garbage rammed down our throats until our country crumbles under failed liberal agendas?

@MCCCANM I thought completeness offers training opportunities. To my gray butt, those guys look like kids. Why did they join NTSB? How much and what experience did they have before?
English
Probably no reason to do this type of exam. Doubtful it’s malfunctioning & even if it was, the chance it’s related to the accident is extremely small.
But that’s the point. They’ll rule everything else out, no matter how small.
The NTSB is an agency I still admire.

If they really think showing an ID is “reasonable,” as the Democrat whip claimed, then they can support this clean photo ID amendment. I look forward to seeing where Democrats really stand.

@GuntherEagleman @catturd2 They won't though. I think you'll find it perfectly gray under 1A. USAID-UKR-USGOV Contractor. Soon as it hits the private contractor, free to use their profit as they like. To any judge: "Yes, we donated. Biden was fighting Putin!"
