The US military lost 85 aircraft and had another 26 damaged in the first seven months of the Iran War.
An itemized accounting:
ALT Over 110 US military aircraft lost or damaged in first 7 months of Iran War. Estimated 85 aircraft lost and 26 damaged between February 28 and September 27, 2026. Estimated cost of 85 lost aircraft: $4.1 billion. Prewar MQ-9 inventory per USAF: 189; May 12 inventory per US Air Force Gen. David Tabor’s Senate testimony: 135.

Breaking: Federal judge dismisses—and lambastes—the DOJ false statements case against two former FBI officials. Calls it “weaponization.”
Judge Faruqui—a former federal prosecutor himself—said the government made a number of errors in their "slapdash job" of a case. He said there was no evidence presented before the court that the FBI agents' statements were knowingly false or material. He said the government failed to establish a motive for why the agents would make false statements.
He told prosecutors it was "incredibly unfair" that the DOJ sent into court with such a weak case. "This does not feel like an investigation," Faruqui said. "It feels like a broken one-wish willow obsession."
He added that he was "deeply troubled by what has happened here in this case," and that what happened "cannot be described as anything other than weaponization."
"It was a rush to charge, and that was a mistake," Faruqui said of the case.
Whoa!
NEW and HARSH this morning : DC judge tosses case against two former @FBI intel officials on claims they lied to Congress on Hunter Biden case.
Judge rips into DOJ for fatal flaws in apparently "weaponized" case pushed by political brass; dismissals at this stage almost never happen,

Seeing as Trump was the guy who tried to incite the violent overthrow of the constitutional order, and the Democrats have never tried to do that, it's a fair answer based in the record of both parties

Last night Trump said he could have won Vietnam in a week. His plan was “going after Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ho Chi Minh City was Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. Our ally. The enemy’s capital was Hanoi. We bombed it.
He called the presidents who fought that war stupid, then explained how he’d have won it by attacking our own side.
58,220 Americans died in that war. Trump got five deferments. Now he’s telling the rest of us how easy it would have been.
He’s had more than fifty years to learn which side we were on. He still hasn’t. That alone should disqualify him from sending anybody else’s kids to war.
Instead, he’s weighing more strikes on Iran after Tuesday. His administration has reportedly considered using the “mother of all bombs,” the one he calls “like a tiny nuclear bomb.”
The man who thinks we should have bombed our ally’s capital gets to choose the targets.

America held elections for centuries. Then…a lifelong con artist lost one, screamed RIGGED, and millions of people decided democracy was broken instead of considering that the asshole simply LOST.

Is the President aware the Afghanistan war was going on throughout his entire first term?

Trump eases sanctions on Russia and begins buying Russian diesel. Days later, Musk restricts Starlink service in Ukraine, disrupting its military operations and its ability to defend itself.
And now we’re learning directly from Putin that Russia has been in contact with Musk.
How on earth did we get to this point? How is it possible that Musk can disrupt an American ally’s military operations whenever he chooses, maintain a clear line to the Kremlin, and face zero accountability to the American people or the U.S. government?
I want to know what Musk has been discussing with Russian officials, whether those conversations had anything to do with the Starlink disruptions, and what the Trump Administration knew.
Yesterday, Putin revealed that Russian authorities are "in close touch" with Elon Musk about the technology Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Our new report @TheAtlantic investigates how @elonmusk went from supporting Ukraine to coordinating with Moscow.

I've noticed that the populists, nat-cons, and postliberals, the Vanceguard, blame it all on the Iran war. They conveniently overlook the trade wars.

This is simply outstanding. Heart-wrenching, and powerful as a kick in the gut.
Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

So Trump said he would’ve won the Vietnam War in a week by bombing Saigon, the capital of our ally South Vietnam.

Former Michigan Governor Jim Blanchard — a longtime friend and supporter of Haley Stevens — says he was having dinner on Friday with Stevens and her fiancé, and that Stevens was excited to attend the church service with Jim Clyburn and Abdul El-Sayed.
Blanchard said that Stevens’ fiancé, Jason Turkish, began chiding her at the dinner.
“He was working her over. The way he was saying it was, ‘Everyone is disappointed in you, they did everything they could to help you and then immediately after you lose the primary, you endorsed him.’”
“He was all distraught,” he said.
“He was all strung out about Abdul. I let her know, he’s not a good influence.”
Blanchard remained in touch with Stevens throughout the weekend and expected her to attend the church service. He only found out from the news that she was at the service with Rogers and endorsing him.
“Something snapped in her. And it snapped in 24 hours,” Blanchard told Zach Gorchow of State Affairs.
“And I don’t know what.”
Blanchard, clearly pained by the situation, said several times, “This is not the Haley I know.”
He lamented Turkish’s “terrible political judgment.”

A dentist from Ontario married a U.S. citizen, performed dentistry in "shortage areas" and was pursuing lawful status when ICE arrested him based on erroneous paperwork.
Judge Mike Davis said the "hubris" and "appalling" facts justify immediate release.

Incorrect. El-Sayed said yesterday “I do not agree with the contents of that ad” and Stevens credited him for doing so.

Joe Walsh is wrong on the claim that El-Sayed has "never, ever" condemned antisemitism.
El-Sayed has done so repeatedly. After the March 2026 Temple Israel attack he stated: "Antisemitism has no place in our communities. Ever. Full stop." and "There is never a justification for attacking innocent people or houses of worship." He later called it "a scourge" that must be addressed "in all its forms," equated his commitment to Jewish safety with that of his own daughters, and condemned specific antisemitic acts (yard signs, a campus swastika, the Bondi Beach attack).
Critics argue those statements are often qualified by Israel criticism or insufficiently forceful. That debate is separate from the absolute "never" claim, which the record does not support.
