Sure. Lay off the people who keep nuclear weapons from exploding. Nice work Donald Trump and GOP who control both houses of congress.
Say what you want about Dems but we were not dangerously stupid in nuclear weapons safety.

It is sad to see that the @postopinions.bsky.social has stopped being an objective serious outlet and has become a support mechanism for the Trump Admin.
This is not normal. This is not the paper that brought down Nixon and fought lawlessness and supported truth.

This is how a crisis can spin out of control. This is dangerous and inflammatory language. A perfect example of why no one American can have the ability to initiate a nuclear war. @scientistsorg.bsky.social

This is not even remotely funny. It is a fascist threat. Have we lost all sense of decency that this is not a complete outrage? Is there not one Republican in Congress with a spine or sense of real patriotism?

Also odd to see Hegseth quoting ISIS and David Albright. They do good work. But IC knows more. Also Hegseth cherry picked. Here is the full story of what ISIS said. From the Times.
