Watters: They got on President Trump for building monuments to himself, and then inviting entertainers to come sing. He was doing that for the American people. Obama built a monument literally to himself and then had U2 come and sing and the liberals love it.
Jessica: Every president has an opening ceremony. We'll watch when Trump opens his and he'll have Vanilla ICE And Kid Rock and you guys will say we've never heard such a beautiful rendition.
Gangel: In March, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan go to the oval office for a formal sit down interview with the president. He's very proud about some presidential historian has given him this document, which he says shows he's more powerful than Hitler and Stalin.
He's proudly reading it and showing it to them, and they can't figure out who the presidential historian is. And they start searching. Name doesn't show up. But the president had said that this historian was a friend of former hall of fame golfer Gary Player. So they search…the historian is Gary Player's former caddie.
NEW @WIRED: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sought to ingratiate themselves to Trump after the 2024 election — who in return mocked them behind their backs, per new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan
— Zuckerberg sent Trump a photo of a letter one of his grade-school kids wrote that looked forward to the “golden age of america”
— Bezos denigrated The Washington Post to Trump and described the newspaper as one of his worst financial investments
— Trump showed off texts from Zuckerberg and Bezos to other guests, including to Elon Musk, who mocked them as “Firstclass groveling”
— Months after their dinner, Bezos tried to get a favor from Trump, telling him it was a risk for SpaceX to dominate govt space contracts
— Bezos suggested Trump tell Deputy Defense Secy Feinberg to ensure“contractor diversity,” opening the door for Blue Origin to get contracts
— But Trump ultimately screwed over Bezos after he reconciled with Musk, and instead expanded SpaceX’s access to US space launch sites
— WIRED obtained the details from “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump” by @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan ahead of June 23 release
@Wellingtonwats@MarioNawfal Cope, Welly. We lost, simple as that. They own the straight now, and we got absolutely nothing out of it. In fact, the regime got a new, younger leader. We didn’t even get the nuclear material. Complete and total LOSS by the inept Trump admin.
wow -- Tim Kaine demolishes Kari Lake
KAINE: She accused one of our sitting colleagues of being controlled by the cartels. You had no evidence then nor do you have any now that Sen. Gallego is controlled by cartels, do you?
LAKE: Well, we provided the receipts--
KAINE: This was rated pants on fire. You have no evidence. Isn't that right?
LAKE: I don't know
KAINE: How about an apology to our colleague?
People always mock the ‘falling debris’ claims when countries claim successful interceptions. However it’s why I think proximity fuzes are key. You have to completely blow up the targets in the air

Here's the thing: any air defence system can be saturated beyond its ability to respond, even if it's as extensive as Moscow's. The Russians are claiming to have shot down at least 170 Ukrainian drones this morning. But each shot requires a reload, and there won't be an infinite supply of missiles at hand. What we're seeing here is drones getting past batteries that are either reloading or have run out of missiles.
This tactic shouldn't surprise anyone, least of all the Russians; it's exactly what they've repeatedly been doing to Ukraine over the past few months.
1/ Ukrainian operatives inside Russia are reportedly acting as forward air controllers, according to a Russian source, using infrared laser beams – invisible to the naked eye – to guide drones to targets. This is likely being done to defeat Russian electronic warfare. ⬇️
