Does anyone else get the distinct impression that Iran is playing the Trump administration for a bunch of suckers?
Savchenko Volodymyr@savchenkoua.bsky.social · 3h ago🇺🇸🇮🇷👀 Reuters: The US has removed counterterrorism sanctions from two aircraft and three airlines with links to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to details posted to the U.S. Treasury Department's website.
This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.
It still doesn't hurt to check your voter registration status before the deadline to register to vote in your state--just to be on the safe side!
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 4h agoNotice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳
Scott is an idiot and a thief. How he was elected to serve as one of Florida's Senators is a testament to the power of money and how broken and corrupt our political system has become.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5h agoRick Scott on spending: "Government is the problem. It's not the Iran war." (Who is waging the Iran war?)
So, what is NATO's plan for dealing with this threat? NATO intervened against Serbia in 1997 for its war against Kosovo for much less. A failure of foresight, planning, and leadership, coupled with a heavy dose of wishful thinking. But Putin knew.
UNITED24 Media@united24media.com · 5h ago⚡️ Russia could sustain up to 100 ballistic missile strikes per month even after its current attack surge subsides, an expert warns. united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...
It could have been an accident. Russians are so careless with smoking!
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 4h ago1/2 The Director of a drone plant near Yekaterinburg has been targeted in an assassination attempt. Russian media report Vladimir Tkachuk is seriously wounded (sometimes this means dead in Russia) and his guard did die in a car bomb attack, which was caught on camera.
Religion represents a level of authority not subservient to the Kremlin, so Russia considers all religions not directly subservient to Russia to be legitimate targets. Doesn't matter if the church is Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Jewish, etc.
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 4h agoThis is how much the "Christian Russia" really cares about religion. Moscow has not changed since communist days. The church is only useful as another lever of propaganda. This is the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in Darivka, Kherson Region, before + after Russia invaded.
So, they talked about setting up the conditions for talking about peace? Sounds about right. Diplomats.
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 5h ago"Secret" meetings took place in Austria last month between European + Russian diplomats [but no Ukrainian!] Bloomberg says they focused on conditions for starting peace talks. Attendees include Ex-German State Sec Markus Ederer French diplomat Pierre Vimont & ex UK Nat Sec Advisor Tim Barrow [pic]
We were actually aiming at the truck! That's why we circled around it three times and missed killing the man selling vegetables! If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Moscow I want to sell you!
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 6h ago.. Remember FPV stands for First Person View, i.e. the drone operator sees the drone's view and therefore makes a deliberate choice as to what to hit. Russia made the ludicrous claim this⬇️ FPV hit was because the guy's truck was once used by the army😡 bsky.app/profile/twmc...
N. Korea has sent offensive weapons to a country that started an unprovoked, offensive war against another sovereign nation. It should be punished, but of course it won't be, because we failed to deal with its increasing belligerence for decades. Appeasement never works.
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 7h agoA very difficult night and demoralising for air defenders in Kyiv. With no defensive missiles, the take down rate of Russia's missiles was 0% 24 ballistic (inc N Korean) and 4 Onyx missiles. All 28 hit the capital. Of 115 drones, 98 were stopped = 85.2% #SaveUkraine

@cubi2.bsky.social · 21h agoNot a joke folks. We must win both houses or will probably not have elections in 2028, to get rid of trump and his criminal accomplices. These are not times to stay home. ☎️🆘THESE ARE TIMES TO GET UP AND VOTE AMERICA‼️ Our lives are on the ballot. Our freedom is on the ballot. SS-and all med programs

Veronica 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇲🇽 🇩🇪 🇨🇦 🍁 🇸🇪 🇵🇷@vero1986.bsky.social · 23h agoHow Data Centers Broke American Politics What the Unabomber, Steve Bannon’s tech guy, and Bernie Sanders taught me about the great data center backlash of 2026. Let's be perfectly clear, datacenters are for surveillance, period. www.wired.com/story/how-da...
Trump: War is very, very bad. Ukraine should end it.
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 23h agoNothing to see here. Just Russia damaging another kids hospital. Photos are from the Zaporizhzhia regional children's hospital. Governor Ivan Fedorov says there are no injuries, as "Fortunately, at the time of the air raid, all the children, along with the medics, were in shelter."
Witness Russia's "military" campaign against Ukraine. #RussiaIsATerroristState
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · 24h agoThe fruit seller from Mykolaiv, who survived the sick "human safari" attack in Kherson. 52 year old Yuri and his doctor spoke to @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social, he told how he was sorting garlic at the farmer's market when the drone started to chase him.
It’s a sad day for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Total capitulation. To say this is embarrassing is an understatement. If Steve Bannon was on the other side, he would say that Republicans have "cucked" themselves.
S-300 and S-400 systems were not designed to take down small, slow-moving targets. Oops!
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · yesterdayThis video is said to show a Ukrainian drone hitting a launcher belonging to the Russian S-400 air defence system. It happened in occupied Kerch, eastern Crimea and is one of the systems protecting the bridge and ferry crossings from Ukrainian UAVs and missiles.
Secondary effect of the Ukrainian drone campaign? Parts, and the personnel to install and maintain those parts, are probably somewhat scarce right now!
Tim White@twmcltd.bsky.social · yesterday#RussiaOnFire In the Perm' region of Russia, the Kama Oil Plant is burning. Although it specialises in the production of lubricants and other products of the oil refining, there is no sign of a Ukainian attack. Officials say the cooling system of a unit broke, causing the fire.
Please read. Even if illegal, the mere presence, or threatened presence, of federal agents at just a few polling places will have a chilling effect on voting throughout the country--which is clearly their desired effect.
Brennan Center@brennancenter.org · yesterdayDeploying troops or armed federal agents to election sites is illegal under federal law. And voters have the right to vote free from fear and intimidation. Here is what you can do to protect your vote if federal agents show up at your polling place. bit.ly/4wpSGAH
What's left of Congress?
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · yesterday🔥 @whitehouse.senate.gov humiliates Republicans who just voted to advance Blanche’s nomination: “Probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office.” He cites the Trump-Epstein cover up, the cop beater insurrection slush fund, etc… Blanche is in it all up to his neck.
