Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
This is the first Social Security trustees report that reflects Trump's policies:
❌ The Republican budget bill reduced revenue
❌ Reduced immigration means fewer workers contributing
❌ Tariffs and the war with Iran are depressing wages & increasing unemployment
Social Security’s trust fund is now due to run low on money beginning in 2032.
The government acknowledged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tax cuts are expected to contribute to the insolvency. https://t.co/FpQywAm1Hv
Despite Trump’s damaging policies, Social Security remains fully affordable if the wealthy are required to contribute their fair share.
Congress has only two options to address the projected shortfall: Bring more money into Social Security, or cut benefits.
All of these have reduced the amount of money going into Social Security, weakening the system’s finances.
Now, the trustees’ report shows that Social Security’s OASI trust fund faces a shortfall a year earlier than last year, in 2032.
I was literally praying this crow would stay still long enough for me to walk around her to get the composition of her between buttes in the brightest area and give her the most contrast.
@jimstewartson But he's trying so hard to act presidential. Pulls up his pants, buttons his jacket, didn't fall getting out of the helicopter.
He'd rather stand in a door-way somewhere to talk with reporters or be on camera. That way he has something to lean on.
It has emerged that Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry to the United States for the #2026WorldCup, was interrogated for 11 hours at the border.
Artan described his experience with the following words:
“I am just a referee trying to live out his biggest dream, to go to the World Cup.
I am really, really disappointed. I had the proper documents and the correct visa. I think they have a problem with my country.”
Fora da Copa do Mundo após ser barrado por imigração dos Estados Unidos, árbitro somali Omar Abdulkadir Artan se pronuncia:
“Apesar das circunstâncias, estou de bom humor e focado nos próximos desafios da carreira. Eu quero agradecer à família do futebol pelas mensagens e desejar aos meus colegas o melhor durante a Copa do Mundo. Estou ansioso para encontrá-los no futuro. Quero agradecer à FIFA e à CAF (Confedederação Africana de Futebol) por todo o suporte e prometo continuar evoluindo meu nível e concentrar no futuro.”

New York City spends part of every summer renting goats to fight invasive plants.
Two dozen retired farm goats get trucked in from upstate and turned loose on a two-acre hillside too steep and tangled for human crews to work safely. They go straight for the plants nobody else wants to touch: porcelain berry, mugwort, multiflora rose, English ivy, and poison ivy, which they eat with no reaction at all.
A goat puts away about a quarter of its body weight in vegetation a day, and the herd grazes the invasives down to the root, again and again, weakening them and making them easier to control.
It isn't a gimmick. Goats reach terrain machines can't, can reduce or even eliminate the need for herbicides in some areas, their droppings fertilize as they go, and clearing the tangle is exactly what lets park staff come in behind them to plant native trees and understory that hold the slope.
Cities from California to the Carolinas now rent goats to clear brush and cut wildfire fuel.
Lost Budgerigar at the Harlem Meer this morning, who eluded rescuers after foraging on the ground for over an hour. Thanks to Malik who found it and alerted me as I was on my way out of the Park for a Froyo. #birdcpp#BirdsSeenin2026#birdphotography#birdwatching
BREAKING: The 2026 Social Security Trustees Report confirms that Donald Trump's policies are weakening Social Security’s finances.
Now Republicans are eyeing benefit cuts.
Here's what you need to know: 🧵
It looks like Trump came close to falling after his right leg failed under the somewhat additional force of stepping off the ramp of Marine One. He did his most recent rally in Wisconsin while seated.
Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
