Oh hey i was reminded of something.

Anthony Fauci came to the White House AT THE INVITATION OF TRUMP.

Trump is mad because a million people died under his watch so he’s blaming fauci vs accept responsibility.

Just like Iran, and just like the reflective pool. Always someone else’s fault

Terrorussia destroyed another historic estate in the Zaporizhzhia oblast.

According to the Khortytsia National Reserve, the estate of Mykhailo Myklashevskyi in the village of Bilenke was damaged in the attack.

Built between 1853 and 1916, the estate belonged to a representative of a prominent Ukrainian Cossack noble family. It was the only well-preserved historic manor in that region. The building had served as an educational institution while preserving its original architectural features, incl historic wooden décor, wrought-metal spiral staircases, verandas, and other authentic interior elements.

russia brings nothing but death, destruction and decay.

BREAKING NYT:

Government documents raise new doubts about Trump's unsubstantiated claim that "vandals" sabotaged the Reflecting Pool.

There's no indication the peeling blue coating and algae blooms were caused intentionally — and the Trump admin knew that.

APPLEBAUM: What Russians do is they put out not one lie, but million lies, or not one explanation, but one after another.

It's a propaganda technique. They just flood people with massive, contradictory stories, and sooner or later, people won't pay attention to anything at all.

And there's so much information all the time that people eventually just tune out, and they say, "I don't know what's true, I don't know what's not true, I don't believe anything, I'm not going to engage in this issue, I'm not going to get angry about it, I just don't want to know anything at all."

Vodianske, Donetsk region. Destroyed by Russians, like many other Ukrainian cities and settlements.

Ruined streets and homes. The Holy Presentation Church, built in 2009, was burned down.

This is what the "Russian world" looks like.

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in theses talks.

It is a fundamental corruption.

Amodei: At Anthropic, AI writes almost all the code — engineers stay productive. For some, it's now better for AI to just do the task.

We shift people toward forward deployed engineer roles, mixing technical work with customers. Massive disruption is coming. We need to warn now.6X

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

It's easy to laugh at because it's so stupid on its face, but the federal government is right now using the power of the state to enforce a lie so obvious that Leavitt herself doesn't believe it. Nobody promoting it believes it. But that is precisely why these people will use police power to impose that lie on Americans. People asking "Where's the evidence?" are missing that point. The point is that the new right believes truth does not matter; only force matters.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The orange Dear Leader can’t abide that he blew it (blue it?) at the Reflecting Pool, so he invented a fake “vandalism” narrative, and now Park Police are having to arrest harmless tourists to puff up the phony narrative, Soviet-style.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei openly contradicts Vice President Vance:

“Iran has no plans to allow IAEA inspectors to enter nuclear sites that were damaged during the war.”

🚨 BREAKING: Close Trump advisors have been informing him the likeliest cause of any “rip” in the Reflecting Pool surface came from him insisting the full motorcade drive on the fresh surface to “inspect” it before it was refilled, which he immediately denies to blame liberals.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

Last weekend, details about the Iran deal started leaking out in the Iranian press. The White House and, particularly, the Vice President, said those were lies and propaganda.

By Tuesday, the Vice President said it was “Iranian propaganda,” and he blasted the American press for regurgitating them.

When the deal finally came out, after days of the Vice President insisting he did not understand diplomatic protocol and could not actually release the details, it turned out that all the stuff the Iranian regime said was in the deal was actually in the deal.

Yesterday, the Treasury Department freed Iran to start selling oil. Most outside analysts project Iran can, in 60 days, sell $10 billion worth of oil.

Last week, Marco Rubio’s State Department notified Congress that Iran prioritizes funding terrorism with its oil sales.

Last week, Vice President Vance insisted Iran could not sell oil without first performing various actions under the plan.

This week, Iran is getting its oil sales, they have done nothing under the plan, and, based on our Secretary of State’s data, we can presume terrorism will be funded.

Iran is also getting an additional $12 billion, out of the gate, without doing anything, as a show of goodwill from Qatar. The money comes from Iran’s frozen assets, helpfully freed up by the President of the United States.

The Vice President now says Iran will buy our agriculture products. Iran’s leaders say that this is not only not true, but Iran would rather starve than fund the Great Satan.

The Vice President also says Iran agrees to allow in IAEA inspectors. Again, Iran says this is not true.

Last week, when Iran disputed American statements, it turned out the Iranian side was telling the truth. Can we believe the Vice President this week?

In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.
