Bondi's alleged DOJ decisions affect public trust in justice institutions; conflating fund origin (contractor leak response) with its use (January 6th compensation) obscures actual policy rationale.

Sunshine: It's not a slush fund. It's an anti weaponization fund. Why do we have the fund? Because a contractor pled guilty to leaking Trump’s tax returns.

Phillip: What does that have to with a fund that Trump said is meant to compensate January 6th rioters? He said, I'm proud I pardoned these people and they deserve money from the government.

Sunshine: We had grandmas that were in jail for two years.

Handala claims responsibility for Tel Aviv car bombing, says senior Mossad influence warfare official was targeted
——
Hacktivist group Handala claimed responsibility for a car bombing in Tel Aviv on 4 June, alleging that the operation eliminated "one of the senior managers of Mossad's New Influence Unit (Iran Desk)" after "months of surveillance, pursuit operations, and close monitoring."

In a statement, the group said the official was killed when "a bomb planted in his personal vehicle exploded" on Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway).

Handala described the attack as a response to Israeli operations against Iran, adding: "This is the fate of criminals. Even the regime's most security-protected individuals are not safe in their usurped homes."

The group also challenged Israeli authorities, asking: "Will the security services of the Zionist regime dare to tell the truth, or will they continue to deny it?"

Israeli authorities have not confirmed the claim. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports have presented conflicting accounts regarding the identity of the victim. Initial reports said a man had been killed in the explosion, while later reports cited by Israeli outlets, including The Times of Israel, said investigators were examining the possibility that the victim was actually a woman.

Israeli police said the incident remains under investigation and described the suspected background as "criminal."

Handala's allegations regarding the victim's identity and affiliation have not been independently verified.

🚨 IRGC Launches Missile Strikes on U.S. Bases in Kuwait; Explosions Also Reported in Bahrain and Iraq

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for missile strikes on U.S. military bases in Kuwait, saying the attacks were retaliation for an American strike on Qeshm Island, a strategically located island in the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ Kuwait’s defense ministry confirmed it is under attack from drones and missiles; Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said strikes hit both Camp Arifjan and Ali Al-Salem Airbase in at least two waves

▪️ Eight explosions reported in Bahrain, which is also under attack, according to various monitoring accounts

▪️ Explosions were reported near the village of Masan on the southern coast of Qeshm Island, Fars news reported

▪️ Iran also appears to be heavily striking Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups near Erbil in northern Iraq

▪️ Earlier, CENTCOM said U.S. forces fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of a Botswana-flagged commercial tanker, the M/T Lexie, after its crew ignored warnings while attempting to reach Iran’s Kharg Island.

CENTCOM says it has now disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 since imposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports on April 13.

The IRGC warned: “The time of ‘strike and run’ has passed,” adding that any further aggression “will be met with a seismic, decisive, and crushing response.”

🤔 Iran 'acquired nuclear weapons' — unverifiable. Phrase is ambiguous: could mean completed weapons, weapons-grade material, designs, or components. No corroborating or contradicting sources found.
🤔 'Vast ballistic missile and drone arsenal' — unverifiable. 'Vast' is subjective; CENTCOM [reliability 0.5] disputes whether Iran retains most of its arsenal, while Arab News [reliability 0.5] reports massive arsenal. Quality of sources insufficient for confirmation.
🤔 Iran 'acquired ICBMs' — unverifiable. No sources found confirming or denying. Plural form presumes multiple units; unclear if even one was operationalized.
✅ Iran acquired Chinese and Russian military capabilities — confirmed by JINSA [reliability 0.5] and Atlantic Council [reliability 0.5] on drones, rocket fuel, and supply chains.

Iran's strategic strength and nuclear status directly shape Middle East conflict risk and oil market stability. Overconfident claims about Iranian weakness or wasted leverage can lead to policy decisions based on false premises, with real geopolitical consequences."

[Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz]

Iran played its strongest card at its weakest moment. Instead of wielding Hormuz after acquiring nuclear weapons, a vast ballistic missile and drone arsenal, ICBMs, a Chinese and Russian-built military and billions in sanctions relief (the JCPOA or the no US/Israeli action trajectory), Tehran pulled the trigger too early. Now alternatives are being built to the strait, ensuring that Hormuz becomes less valuable and less available as a coercive weapon with every passing year.

DHS spent over $1 billion buying 11 warehouses for ICE detention.

They paid 11 to 13 percent above market across the board. In Salt Lake City, $145 million for a building appraised at $97 million.

Many cannot even flush a toilet. The IG is now investigating allegations that Corey Lewandowski tried to extract personal payments from contractors. This is what real corruption looks like.

🤔 Iran 'destroyed F-22 Raptor fighter jets' — no corroborating sources found; 'completely destroyed' requires 100% destruction with zero surviving examples
🤔 $350 million loss figure — unverified; no independent sources confirm this specific damage cost
🤔 China 'confirmed' the news — attribution unverifiable; unclear whether this refers to official government statement, state media, or unofficial claim
🤔 Image shows military jet with afterburners and flares, but specific aircraft type and origin cannot be definitively identified from silhouette alone

F-22 losses would signal major US military setback; the absence of any independent corroboration from defense media, US officials, or international wire services — despite intensive Iran-US coverage — suggests the claim is either false, exaggerated, or misattributed. Unverified military claims from state propaganda accounts fuel unnecessary escalation narratives.

The sheer stupidity and greed of European companies is baffling.

Russia’s new S-71K missile-drone hybrid is packed with Western-made components, despite sanctions. It’s already being used in Ukraine, and in the near future it could be turned against EU and NATO countries.

If companies and genuinely wanted to stop these flows, they would dry up almost overnight.
