A russian warship disguised itself using a fake ID signal while travelling through the English Channel with two sanctioned oil tankers The Boikiy - a corvette armed with guided missiles - broadcast the fake ID code as it passed through the Channel on Saturday. www.bbc.com/news/article...

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

OK, so the President of the United States knowingly lied to the country on national TV about a matter of national security and war and peace that implicated the safety of US soldiers, his campaign promises, and the future of global geopolitics. So what will his punishment be?

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Don’t judges have … immunity?

a reminder of what Mamdani overcame:

On the one hand, Mamdani's win is one primary in one city. On the other hand, nationally:

Reposting this tonight because it’s filled with such obvious joy and love for New York City, and I’m so excited that he is DOMINATING this primary so hard.

Sue fast and Fix Things (or prevent the government from illegally and irreparably breaking them)

What.

Folks, it’s free. Learn. Please.

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

Their corruption is endless. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today is Day 74. Still waiting on those amazing deals.

Seems emblematic of this admin: kick the NSF out of its building, replace it with executive perks requested by the HUD Secretary, including: - a dedicated suite for him and a new Executive Dining Room - reserved parking for his 5 cars - exclusive use of 1 elevator for the Secretary

Let's review: 1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon 2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke 4. Trump bombed Iran anyway 5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities 6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

Trump demeans three women of color members of Congress as "stupid," disses Chuck Schumer as a "Palestinian," and calls Queens "filthy, disgusting, crime ridden"

128 Democrats vote against impeaching Trump.

I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to persuade yourself to vote against impeachment, *especially because* it's a symbolic vote! Forget removing a lawless president, you can't even bring yourself to formally rebuke him? Irredeemable

CNN: INTEL ASSESSMENT CONTRDICTS TRUMP MSNBC: CEASEFIRE HANGING BY A THREAD FOX NEWS:

Probably not a coincidence Trump cancelled the Senate classified briefing for this afternoon.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

I am on Erez Reuveni's whistleblower complaint, first reported by the NYT, which I also obtained. An alarming, important development on several fronts, it is important in the context of DOJ's leadership and SCOTUS's treatment of the admin, in addition to Bove's judicial nomination. More to come:

wow 14 million people losing Obamacare coverage. seems like a lot.

If this holds up, it annihilates copyright across every industry. But the foundational finding here is false. Generative models are duplicating training data verbatim. Both text and images. That’s how artists and authors are recognizing their work in outputs.

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

Senator Fetterman expresses his view that America should be ruled by dictators who should be able to start wars whenever they want.

Leave it to SolarWinds to delay this customer-requested feature (now in preview) for more than four years, long after native Dark Mode was implemented in just about every other professional IT UI (and consumer app/device UIs).

Initial polling taken after Trump's decision to strike Iran shows it deeply underwater. This is in contrast to early polling on e.g. 2014 ISIS strike, or start of Afghan & Iraq wars. Short 🧵. First, here's CNN/SSRS: www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

Every morning, a new story about how many Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops while looking for food. But we’re supposed to believe Iran is the big bad.

Narcissists do not grow. They do not change. They do not learn from their mistakes because in their mind they are not capable of mistakes. They just blame everyone else for the messes they make. This has always been who Trump is. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-explod...

Senator John Fetterman was snidely dismissive of Dems who say Trump bombing Iran without congressional authorization is potentially an impeachable offense. Here's Rep @casten.house.gov responding to Fetterman on our pod with a very pointed challenge to him: newrepublic.com/article/1971...

I've said it before, I'll say it again: pitch it as increasing SCOTUS to at least 100 Justices, with randomly selected pools of 9 to hear each case, such that no single Justice matters so much.

It’s not shocking that this ceasefire didn’t last, it’s shocking that we have a country full of people who simultaneously have zero memory and zero foresight.

Something gives me the sense that Donald Trump also has no idea what the fuck he is doing.

We let an illiterate drug addict in a diaper who spent most of his adult life sexually assaulting women, bankrupting business and laundering money for the mob tear up the Iran Nuclear Deal because he’s a racist and then bomb Iran because he was jealous of Netanyahu. Imagine that.

“It is very dangerous to have such an unhinged and incompetent man at the helm of this once great nation.The entire free world is in jeopardy thanks to his avarice, ineptitude and endless need to be the focus of attention.”

Two days after attacking Iran, Trump is now attacking the media for pointing out his publicity stunt was most likely strategically ineffective. What you see from him is resentment, a byproduct of decades of addiction. He is very mentally unwell and dangerous. USA is in trouble.
