At least he has the cojones to say what he thinks. The majority in the US who aren't MAGA should say the same: the greatest enemy America has is Trump & those who enable him. We're in a death match between democracy & autocracy. Let's act like it.

In today's episode, I show that that's false. The case needs to be rethought from the ground up. youtu.be/KX2qCYWKmug https://youtu.be/KX2qCYWKmug21 Mar 2026 20:47 +0000at://did:plc:33pcxjh2rzp4ml6wfydprb6n/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhlvpfencc24https://bsky.app/profile/jeffwise.bsky.social/post/3mhluuuzq4s24Mueller was one of many who had the power to stop the collapse of democracy & the rule of law but decided to hope that someone one else would step up instead.

It's literally their only path to long-term security. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/israel-doesnt-want-to-beat-iran-it-wants-to-break-it.html11 Mar 2026 12:06 +0000at://did:plc:33pcxjh2rzp4ml6wfydprb6n/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgrtwjeuys27https://bsky.app/profile/jeffwise.bsky.social/post/3mgrtl7boxk27A good way to lose any competition is to fail to realize the rules have changed. In Iran, the US finds itself entangled in a new kind of warfare that its trillion-dollar armed forces are ill equipped to handle. Expect this debacle to steadly get worse.

Plunkett does hold open the possibility of laying such plans in the future.

Convinced themselves they could trust the satellite data it sent, investigators used it to define a search zone. Today we know the search zone is empty, and the 777 had a gaping security hole.
