"The war in Iran continues with no clear end in sight. Pres. Trump declared, 'We won,' but has also indicated the U.S. could be in the fight for a while. How long exactly this conflict will last is anybody's guess, but there has been no rally-'round-the-flag effect for the president with this war, and the longer it goes on, the worse it could be for the president politically":

"Trump's core rationale for tariffs has been that they would force more factories to open in the U.S. and would generate enough revenue to close federal budget deficits. But that hasn't materialized. Factories continue to shed workers, with 98,000 manufacturing jobs lost during Trump's first full 12 months back in the White House":

Turmoil resulting from "seismic shifts in NASA Management and in the Federal government has caused "sweeping workforce losses and operational instability throughout 2025", and has led to the cancellation of one of NASA's most important upcoming astrophysics missions to launch a next generation x-ray telescope.

The project has lost more than 20 personnel with key expertise as a result of NASA's Deferred Resignation Program and endless management reorganizations to "align" with the 2026 presidential budget request. https://www.space.com/space-exploration/missions/nasa-project-leader-blames-next-generation-x-ray-telescope-cancellation-on-agency-mismanagement #NASA #Mismanagement #USGov #BudgetCuts #AXIA #Space #SpaceCraft #XRayTelescope #Astrophysics #Fail #ShitShow

Dana Milbank and Jeff Stein are two of the most recent journalists to leave the Washington Post. I remember when the Washington Post was a serious newspaper with plenty of respected reporters. The greed of its owner is ruining it. Subscribe to a better newspaper.

Reacting to the news that "Crude oil prices surpass $100 a barrel as the Iran war impedes production and shipping," Dan Pfeiffer wrote: "The obvious consequence of an idiotic war of choice waged by a tinpot dictator who spent more time designing a ballroom than planning the war he started."

Matthew Yglesias summarized the #IranWar as the United States: "Using air power to make daily life miserable for civilians in the target country, hoping that will induce them to overthrow the adversary regime." Chances of success are between slim and none.
