This US Department of Justice couldn’t win a misdemeanor trial they pushed for. I repeat: the US Department of Justice couldn’t win a misdemeanor trial they pushed for.

Their incompetence doesn’t negate their dishonesty but it helps…

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

The billionaires have been working on their merger with the evangelicals and “conservatives” for decades…abortion was the wedge issue to get Christians to vote against their own good.

It was never about babies. It was to bring about a coup…it is an oligarchy taking over the US inch by inch.

If you're interested in learning more about that disinformation campaign and inferring some of its connections to things that have happened since, I recommend Tom Wilson's dissertation, which covers multiple views into that discourse: faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/TomW...

The Hardest Place is one of the best books I've read in the last few years. If you want to actually understand the dynamics of 20 years of American futility in the Middle East, it's absolutely essential reading. Highly recommend!!!
My Afghanistan war book THE HARDEST PLACE is approaching its four-year anniversary.

Since I’ve mostly migrated from Twitter to Bluesky, over the next few months I’m going to recreate here a long thread of photos that many readers have enjoyed scrolling through as an accompaniment to the book.
