For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

I see naive reporting that Pu has offered to negotiate w Zelensky. He hasn't. Pu made his usual "yes, but" manipulation. He says he'll talk to Ze but still insists Ze can't sign agreements. A double manipulation because Ze has 💯constitutional legitimacy and Pu could care less about legality.

This makes me think of the joke about the Jewish couple meeting the Rabbi before the wedding.
"Can we dance together?"
"Absolutely not. The bible forbids it."
"Can we have sex on the night?"
"Yes, it's a mitzvah!"
"Any position?"
"Any except standing. That might lead to dancing."

@alexvont.bsky.social - Hi, Enjoyed the Bunker pod, but just wondering why, in reference to the boat stopped by the Israelis, you said that the IDF hadn't shot anyone *yet*? AFAIK, the crew are unarmed and have simply beein intercepted and are being flown home. Why the talk of shooting?

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

The basic risk is this: Iran has sophisticated SIGINT capabilities. If any single member of the 20-person group chat had allowed their handset to be compromised by spyware then it’s a direct line from Iran->Houthis. This isn’t some kind of remote possibility. It’s a real, live risk that was ignored.
Hegseth was showboating when he shared the timeline:
"Once the strikes had been agreed, there was no reason for the Secretary of Defense to share operational details with the group. None of them were responsible for carrying out the mission."
