If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Congress has a 14% approval rating and yet incumbents have a 95% re-election rate.

America has a bipartisan cartel.

They’ve rigged the maps, gerrymandered their adversaries out of existence, and of 435 congressional districts fewer than 30 are actually contestable.

In a real democracy the voter picks the politician. What we have now is the politician picking the voter.

The system needs a reset, but the money circuit flowing into Washington and the self-interest of everyone inside it means nobody is stepping out of that window to actually serve the people who are most desperate.

The ones who went from economically aspirational to economically desperate.

he ones worried their kids will never afford what they could.

To serve those people you have to go against your own self-interest.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Run down the checklist of everything Vladimir Putin would want an American president to do.

-Go after our allies.
-Praise our adversaries.
-Unsanction Russian oil
-Pull 5,000 troops out of Germany.

Trump is doing every single thing on that list.

His tariffs are illegal and the war in Iran can’t seem to end.

That’s the scorecard. Make of it what you will.

WHO Rapid Risk Assessment on #Ebola caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda:

The risk assessment has been revised:
🔴 Very high at the national level in #DRC
🟠 High for #Uganda
🟠 High for countries sharing land borders with DRC and Uganda
🔵 Low for the rest of the Africa region and at the global level

The risk in DRC remains very high, because:
⚠️ The outbreak has continued to expand rapidly in terms of numbers of cases and geographical spread with more areas affected
⚠️ Epidemiological links and the full chain of transmission are not yet clearly established, and the source of the outbreak remains under investigation
⚠️ Ongoing conflict restricts movement of frontline responders and surveillance teams
⚠️ Community fear and misinformation hinder case detection, contact tracing, and isolation, and potentially facilitate disease spread
⚠️ Limited healthcare infrastructure and delays in laboratory confirmation, although these are being scaled up by DRC, with support of partners

WHO continues to support DRC to put an end to this outbreak https://t.co/hb3BcB531k

In Crimea, Russians are "risking their lives" just to fill up their tanks. Maybe it's finally time for them to get out of there?

[WarTranslated @wartranslated]

Russian politicians are proposing to use nuclear weapons to force Ukraine's leadership to sign a capitulation. This is because the "special military operation" did not go according to plan.

Tragic loss. He was one of the greatest historians of the United States - his books are monumental achievements.

Russia’s security services shut parts of a special surveillance system protecting President Vladimir Putin and his closest aides in the wake of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s assassination in Tehran, @mehulatlarge and @christopherjm report https://t.co/Fwsyxk89Zt

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Hodges: The idea that Russia has infinite manpower is a myth.

Russia has under 140 million people, many young men are dead or gone, and the Kremlin avoids mobilizing Moscow and St. Petersburg because that would make the disaster impossible to hide.

The dangers of AI eclipsed those of nuclear weapons at a defense forum discussion on strategic stability in Singapore, as panelists warned it could reduce reaction times to the point where people make rash decisions. https://t.co/CDVeyCrkwF

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

🚫 CLAIM: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims they struck U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and a U.S. air base in the region with missiles and drones today. FALSE.

✅ TRUTH: All Iranian attacks on American forces failed. U.S. forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression.

Sazan island (w/underground bunkers + tunnels), was designed to save ~3,000 Soviet bloc soldiers in a NUCLEAR WAR.

That POTUS’ daughter would try and sell the fiction that it’s a deserted island in the Med she discovered and *bought* by chance is hilarious.

Russian tourists are increasingly stuck in Crimea, unable to refill their gas tanks and return back.

What a clever idea by some Russians to visit an area in a foreign country which has literally been a warzone for several years.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just put Bill Pulte, who has NO background in national security, and weaponized government to go after Trump Critics Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Cook, in as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.

If you thought politicizing mortgages was bad, wait until they politicize intelligence.

[Hans Kristensen (also on Bluesky) @nukestrat]

Trump picks mortgage boss with no intelligence experience…to head US intelligence. But he’s loyal. https://t.co/5qzWl7WfFT

The new $250 bill should have label: “In incompetence we trust.”

"Russia is planning strikes on Ukrainian companies that demonstrate progress in the development of all types of missile technologies. Russia identifies this as a strategic threat to itself - Ukraine's capability to produce its own ballistic system and localize the production of anti-ballistic protection." - Zelenskyy said following a report by the GUR.
