“We have no choice but to overturn the 20th century”

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Reportedly the E-3 that was hit at Prince Sultan Airbase. The headlines calling this “damaged” significantly undersold the impact. Obliterated.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28. Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier. The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.

Obama set a red line in response to a question in a debate Obama went to Congress - they didn't agree with that red line So that wasn't walking away that was following the constitution But Fox said it was a failure and no one else every challenged that with facts #FactsMatter #ContextMatters

I saw some folks asking what the difference was between what OpenAI signed with the DoD and what Anthropic said they wanted, and Sam more or less admits here the key point: OpenAI's deal requires them to trust the NSA. Anthropic's contract had real safeguards.

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them? Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones. And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

By the way, speaking of Obama's tan suit, not a goddamn peep that Trump announced a war while wearing a baseball cap (and no tie). Because only the black guy is held to the standards of dress by Republicans.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

One of my colleagues wrote about this over 30 years ago, noting that Congress was all about "blame avoidance" in foreign policy, which basically made the president a king

Congress doesn't want responsibility. They want to sit around and make stock trades. The American people haven't ever punished them for it.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes. Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time. What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
