Trump authorizes 529 airstrikes in 5 months, nears Biden's 4-year total

From AI

In 2025, the United States conducted multiple airstrikes in Somalia targeting terrorist groups like ISIS-Somalia and Al-Shabaab, often in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia. These strikes occurred in various regions, including Puntland, and the frequency of strikes increased compared to previous years, with one source citing over 100 strikes in total for 2025, according to a Facebook post.
Multiple strikes in late 2025: The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) announced several airstrikes against ISIS-Somalia in November 2025, including on November 21, 22, and 25. An additional strike was conducted on October 27 in the Golis Mountains area.
Targeting terrorist groups: These airstrikes were conducted in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, with the stated aim of degrading ISIS-Somalia's and Al-Shabaab's ability to operate.
Increased frequency: The number of US airstrikes in Somalia significantly increased in 2025. One report mentioned 101 strikes by late November, a notable increase from previous years, according to a Facebook post.
Civilian casualties: While official reports from AFRICOM state that civilians were not harmed in many of these specific strikes, casualty figures from other sources may vary.
Other military action: In addition to airstrikes, the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) became operational in January 2025, succeeding the previous ATMIS mission

Thanks for dismantling USAID and destroying millions of dollars of food, medicine, and contraceptives, Marco Rubella and Dummkopf Trumpf!

It is almost as if this never happened - just a month ago:
-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats"the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.
-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

->Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

Right, and Hillary and Kamala were going to win in land slides. We shall see what happens after people do their taxes and see how much money they saved and how big those getting refunds get.
