Oh my gosh, who could possibly have anticipated this? (answer: anyone with a brain)
Iran’s jamming GPS in the Strait of Hormuz, messing with ~970 ships, per Windward. UKMTO confirms the interference. Faulty AIS coordinates are screwing up navigation in the Persian Gulf. The IRGC threatens to shut the strait down in hours.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Fear is not the enemy. But it’s where extremism starts.
We don’t defeat extremism by pretending we’re not afraid.
We defeat it by deciding fear doesn’t choose who we become.

Sick of people like @jaketapper.bsky.social laying the blame for 2024 at Biden’s feet, so I wrote a thing. In short, Biden isn’t to blame; we are. The story isn’t about Biden — it’s about us. And we don’t need a book to understand what happened.
