One former U.S. defense official warned me that Iran’s response to the attacks may have been “so lame,” because the mullahs could be considering using what remains of their nuclear material and centrifuge capacity to try to dash for a crude nuclear bomb. wapo.st/44ymb7R

They did everything they could to help him.

The ongoing and escalating slaughter of Ukrainian civilians depends on two preconditions: Moscow’s determination to erase Ukraine, and the tacit permission it receives from America and Europe, writes Andrew Chakhoyan, academic director at the University of Amsterdam, in his recent op-ed.

Trump’s decision “will open up vast swaths of largely untouched land to logging and roadbuilding, including about 30% of the land in the National Forest System — encompassing 92% of Tongass, one of the last remaining intact temperate rainforests in the world…” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The ‘TRUMP SLUMP’ in full force! Tourism appears to be in steep decline, International arrivals are down sharply amid evolving U.S. travel & tariff policies. Advance summer bookings for flights between Canada & U.S. have plunged more than 70% compared to summer 2024. moneywise.com/news/las-veg...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Propaganda that I’m not falling for: Millionaires and billionaires shouldn’t pay into Social Security all year long like the rest of us. Scrap the damn cap!

⚡️ 'Unwanted by their homeland' — Ukraine confirms Russia returned bodies of its soldiers disguised as Ukrainian. "This is yet another proof of how Russia treats its people with contempt," Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said.

⚡️'If we don't help Ukraine further, we should start learning Russian,' EU diplomacy chief says. Top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas cited a sharp increase in Russia's military spending, noting that Moscow is now allocating more money to defense than the EU combined.

Fox dubbed in applause.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump displays his disturbing ignorance of recent history, unaware that Putin was "thrown out of the G8" because of his invasion and annexing of Crimea, and brags that Putin only "speaks to me." Staggering stupidity.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou
