“The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It.” by Hannah Allam
“Images from the missile strike in southern Iran were more horrifying than any of the case studies Air Force combat veteran Wes J. Bryant had pored over in his mission to overhaul how the U.S. military safeguards civilian life….Bryant was forced out of government in cuts last spring. The civilian protection mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority. And the world has witnessed a tragedy in Minab that, if U.S. responsibility is confirmed, would be the most civilians killed by the military in a single attack in decades.”

“Inflation Is Still Running Way Too Hot, Idiots and Fools Are Running Our Country, Thune Stuffs Trump On SAVE”
“Here’s a thread Senator Chris Murphy posted on social media last night that has gotten many, many millions of views:
‘I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. Here's what I can share:
Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran’s nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal. But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material. Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge. Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war. And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.’”

“Anthropic Sues the Administration” by Joyce Vance
“Trump tried to sideline law firms that might be willing to take on his administration with the executive orders we’ve been discussing these past few days, as litigation over them reaches the court of appeals. So far, he’s failed.”
