I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Fly @americanair.bsky.social and even your gate checked items will be left behind and lost. New lows being set for air travel #neveragain
How can an airline be so incompetent? How hard is it to get a gate checked item back to the gate? Apparently too hard for @americanair.bsky.social ...
Remind me to never fly @americanair.bsky.social again. They could truly care less. Worst travel experience on record.

Law professor Donald Ayer says, in his view, President Trump’s orders targeting law firms violate the constitutional rights to free speech, due process, and the right to counsel.
"Someone must stand up to this because it is a direct attack on the whole functioning of our judicial system," he says.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

There is a reason that the actual federal faucet has always been controlled by apolitical bureaucrats.
Having a president (or an unelected billionaire) with direct, granular control of a quarter of all U.S. spending is power beyond the Founders’ wildest dreams. 10/x

The thing about “patriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.
