Pretty hard to blame Dems for the TSA problems when Trump is explicitly demanding no funding deal unless Dems approve his completely unrelated voter suppression pipedream proposal.
Instead of making a deal to fund the TSA, he has dispatched his well-paid personal thug army to stand around airports, menace travelers, and get in the way of the TSA agents working without pay. More authoritarian chaos brought to you directly by Trump and his spineless pet Legislature.
US officials tell The Washington Post they no longer believe it’s possible to achieve the war’s original goals of overthrowing the Iranian regime and eliminating its nuclear program entirely.
It could still be done, but you'd need at least 75,000 troops in Iran for the next year.
I don't understand why regime change was a goal anyway. How is a different gang of psycho Islamic mullahs better?
Just a few years ago, the only tourists in El Salvador were surfers in beach towns. Going to downtown San Salvador at night? Unthinkable, even for locals.pic.twitter.com/uUX9JrLM8M
“The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.”
Is it good or bad that Trump and Kegseth have now shown the entire world that 14 billion dollar battleships can be neutered and taken out of the battle by the threat of $5,000 drones?
A few points.
1) Battleships in the usual sense were obsoleted by aircraft carriers at least 50 years ago, so you probably don't actually mean "battleships".
2) Ukraine already showed that one doesn't need a conventional navy or air force to threaten enemy naval operations at least in so far as to prevent an enemy navy from operating with impunity near shore.

I never expect military literacy, but I’ve nonetheless been a little surprised in recent months to see journalists who should do their homework better saying “battleship” (a specific type of warship) when they mean “warship” (a more generic term).
Neither Trump nor Kegseth nor Ukraine taught us that warships are more vulnerable closer to shore. I’m not a naval historian, but pretty sure that that’s been true since at least the invention of the cannon. And even more true in a straight, or other tight passage. BTW, this obviously doesn’t mean that warships are obsolete. When a Tomahawk or air-dropped ordnance lands on your head, it’s no consolation that the ship from which they came WOULD be more vulnerable near shore!
Anyway, Hormuz is particularly challenging given the geography, and the existence of an ornery nation that owns fully half of the shoreline and has been working to be able to overwhelm the Great Satan’s shipboard defenses for many decades.
Last but not least, even if our ships are able to defend themselves against swarms, world commerce still grinds to a halt when as little as a single RPG hits a merchant.
But again, none of this is new. The idiot boys didn’t reveal this to the world, BUT THEY SURE DID IGNORE THE WARNINGS THEY NO DOUBT GOT FROM THE ADMIRALS AND GENERALS.
