Monday Open Thread

Not local, but goddam we should not bomb Iran and we should stop. We should also try to figure out how to stop other countries from bombing Iran. But… We could stop today, so we should.

Anyway contact your Member of Congress today and ask them to do what they can to stop us bombing Iran.

    Yup. World War III.

    The markets are acting exactly as if Donald Trump started World War III on Saturday night.

    Iran’s week isn’t any better than the last one.

    Hundreds of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members were killed by Israeli strikes across Tehran on Monday, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post.

    “Over 50 fighter jets” targeted and struck “military command centers belonging to the Iranian regime. The sites struck included missile and radar production sites and missile storage infrastructure in Tehran,” the IDF later confirmed.

    @1 Taking out Iran’s nuclear bomb factories isn’t a bad thing; neither is regime change, per se, and the Iranian people would welcome it as the ayatallohs are deeply unpopular in their own country. The rub is what might replace them — chaos, anarchy, civil war, or an even more repressive and radical regime are possibilities. The questions for Americans are whether our foreign policy is being made in Washington or Tel Aviv (see @5 for a clue), and what unintended consequences might follow Trump’s acquiescence to Bibi’s demands (e.g., getting into a war he can’t get out of; terrorist attacks, oil disruption, etc.).

    @2 As any options flipper surely knows, the stock market isn’t always rational, and traders might be getting over their skis on this one; but in any case, fwiw, much or all of the recent improvement in TSLA’s stock price is attributable to Elon’s seeming departure from DOGE and politics.

    7,
    Fat Hitler and Bibi are still a fuck of a long way from regime change in Iran.

    But I note how quickly we have progressed from “no nukes” (an equally dubious if potentially stand off objective) to “regime change” (which will obviously require invasion, occupation, and then another prolonged insurgent conflict).

    MAGA will be cheering to reinstate the draft in no time.

    CNN and Chuck Schumer have now retracted their claims that Democrat leadership was not briefed prior to Saturday’s Iran strikes.

    In today’s congressional news,

    The Senate parliamentarian has rejected several more provisions in the Republican megabill to enact President Trump’s agenda, including language authorizing states to conduct border security and immigration enforcement ….

    https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5363923-senate-parliamentarian-rejects-trump-provisions/

    To be sure, Republicans could go around the parliamentarian by a simple majority vote. But that would effectively end the filibuster, enabling a future Democratic administration and Congress to do whatever they like by simple majority vote.
