Afghan who fought for US forces dies in ICE custody as Trump on track for grim record

The way our nation turned its back on those who helped us at great risk to themselves and their families is an unforgivable national shame.
We owed Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal. Instead, ICE arrested him in front of his children and he died in their custody. We failed him and his family.
Trump can't declare bankruptcy on the Iran war.
He can't get his dad to bail him out.
There's no one to sue.
His usual lies and bluster aren't working.
Iran isn't Venezuela.
The global energy market isn't something he can bully.
This has already spun out of control.
I wrote about the war in @ms.now.
I wrote up what the Iran War and crisis in the Strait of Hormuz means for the world. If this continues to spiral, we may be heading for a very different world than the one we currently inhabit. The last bit of normal may be gone for a generation.

Chuck Borges is a whistleblower who reported the massive theft of our personal data from the Social Security Administration by Elon Musk and DOGE.
I am thinking he should probably have a lot more followers.

Nicholas Grossman: The president needs the Strait of Hormuz opened, but the lie-filled bluster he relied on to succeed in business and domestic politics aren’t working.

The Strait of Hormuz crisis may permanently change the world for a generation.

"This is exactly the scenario that kept me up at night. An irrecoverable loss of the entirety of our personal data. Once that data has 'left the building', you cannot close Pandora's box again"
Even if the war stopped today, supplies will be disrupted for months. If it continues on a few more weeks, supplies will be disrupted for years. If it lasts for months, we can mark this as the end of fossil fuel hegemony in energy markets. In the meantime, millions will starve.

If Iran successfully shuts down the strait of hormuz for months or longer while destroying long term oil production capacity, it's not hyperbole that the energy crisis will result in rolling blackouts, inability to get gas, and soaring food prices that leads to famine.
The fallout from DOGE staffers' efforts to access sensitive Social Security data continues as an agency watchdog disclosed a new investigation into "potential misuse" reported by a whistleblower.
