New image reportedly showing the USAF E-3 Sentry destroyed in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan Airbase on Friday.
Matches 81-0005, an E-3C seen deployed to the base in recent weeks.

SCOOP: The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.

@ThirdWayMattB trump has been elected twice already
did Hasan do that

Leaving your bullshit smear aside, what moderates fear is that Democrats will be connected to a bigot who said "America deserved 9/11" and that will help the MAGA right win. I don't know why you don't fear that too.
Matt Duss@mattduss
Hasan isn’t driving a wedge into the party, the failed, repeatedly discredited yet unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is. They fear the left’s growing power and see Hasan as a way to make us argue amongst ourselves. We shouldn’t fall for it.

6/ BL: Iran's going after the radars that detect threats, the tankers that keep jets flying, and the AWACS that direct the battle.
That's a counter-air campaign. Adapted to what Iran can actually do. And the damage is real.
English
Look at what Iran has been hitting since Feb. 28: radar systems, SATCOM terminals, tankers, and now an AWACS. That's not random.
It's a systematic attack on the infrastructure that makes U.S. air power function. Iran's running an asymmetric counter-air campaign. A 🧵.

@JSweetLI @TrueAnonPod Catholic + drug issues + central NJ I’d start by combing through Manville.

So the guy who founded JDL 613 was raised Catholic and converted in 2023, he says, after decades of being unable to kick a drug issue.
Anyone know his birth/legal name? He seems to hail from central NJ/ Trenton area.

Is this parody? There’s no way JDL 613, the Kahanist terror group is actually headed by this guy? If you’re gunna preach Jewish supremacy at least find someone with more than a few teeth!!

Hey Christine, I can answer that.
Dominating Iran would be a cakewalk. A few thousand casualties on our side vs. hundreds of thousands on theirs.
Not turning it into Afghanistan is also easy. All it requires is our military leaders accepting those high casualty numbers.
That’s how we won two world wars.
Now before you get upset, know this: I’m not talking about war crimes. I am only talking about accepting a very high number of enemy combatant casualties along with an unfortunate but necessary number of civilians caught in the crossfire.
That’s all we need. And high casualty numbers are not a war crime. Death and destruction are allowed under the Geneva Conventions. Just not certain types of death and destruction, like chemical weapons.
But winning this way is not going to happen, Christiane, because moving enough tanks and artillery to do that requires a massive sealift operation, and I don’t see any massive cargo ships getting loaded.
So yes, the military types are right.
We absolutely, positively can dominate Iran.
The problem is no politician has removed the handcuffs from our military (called ROEs, Rules of Engagement) since General MacArthur was fired by President Truman for explaining to him exactly what I’m explaining to you right now.
Massive sealift of heavy bombs and Army munitions PLUS an order to put as many warheads on enemy foreheads as possible.
Dead men do not fight back. Taliban using children as shields and ROEs that only let us kill them at certain times in certain specific situations with a preponderance of evidence… they do shoot back.
I don’t see Trump doing that, fighting a traditional war with ROEs that allow us to kill huge numbers of IRGC. But I also don’t see him sending large numbers of boots inland with crazy restrictive ROEs either.
The end is likely going to be Option C.
What is Option C?
I don’t know. Option C is classified.
Christine Guerrero@SheDrills
Smart military types I’ve talked to are all confident that the US can dominate Iran. After they pound their chests I ask “Yes, but how long will that take? How does this not turn into Afghanistan?”…that’s when they pause and respond “I don’t know”…and therein lies the rub. #OOTT #IranWar

What a silly take. The criminal charges are defined by Florida law. They are all misdemeanors. His license will almost certainly be suspended for at least a year. I called an actual FL criminal defense lawyer to confirm the facts. Not complicated. mediaite.com/media/news/bre…

Tafoya: There probably aren't going to be severe charges, certainly not felony charges. Golf needs this guy. Everyone that is involved with him from a commercial standpoint needs and wants Tiger Woods.

@ryangrim the usa has not provided any weapons capable of this
you have no idea what you're talking about

Every Ukrainian attack on Russian oil infrastructure drives up oil and gas prices and helps Iran against the U.S. — and the U.S. is providing the weapons to Ukraine to attack Russian oil infrastructure which helps Iran.
IOW: We are spending our own tax dollars to drive up oil prices that will fund Iran’s war effort. Sorry to repeat myself but I feel like people aren’t getting it.
Status-6 (War & Military News)@Archer83Able
Reports about Ukrainian drone strikes on the Yaroslavl oil refinery located in western Russia. A fire broke out at the facility as a result of the attack. The refinery is situated over 700km from the border with Ukraine.

TL;DR: For a journalist, IMHO, think of your chatbot as a combination of an intern, a first-pass editor, and a fact-checker. It's job is to do grunt work and help you turn in cleaner copy, not to "inspire" you.

I use AI to do research (i.e., find things to read, explain parts of academic papers I find ambiguous or confusing), transcribe interviews, generate pushback on my column thesis, suggest trims when I'm over my word count, sharpen podcast interview questions, and perform a final fact check on columns and editorials. But mostly it's compressing the ancillary tasks to the main job: reading, thinking, and writing.
Matthew Cole@mattbencole
This is literally what my students say when they get busted using AI. “I didn’t use it to write my paper just for brainstorming, outlining, and editing.” Yeah that’s most of what writing is.

The idea that "aliens are fallen angels" or demons. This is actually a thing. And one that the Vice President apparently believes.

SECRETARY RUBIO: One of the immediate challenges we're going to face is an Iran that may decide that they want to set up a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Not only is this illegal, it's unacceptable, it's dangerous for the world.
