So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.

Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.

Gone.

This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.

For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.

Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Yes I sold paintings. About $225,000 a year over four years. The whole of my business while my father was President. Congress investigated it.

If you’re outraged about that, where is all your outrage now?

Kushner's Affinity Partners holds roughly $5 to $6 billion. Close to 99% of it comes from foreign sovereign wealth funds. Saudi Arabia. The UAE. Qatar. Over $90M in fees annually.

The lack of morning weather balloons launched across the western and central U.S. is having a real, tangible impact on degrading forecast quality.

We can't look at weather balloon data that doesn't exist. We can't pump nonexistent data into models. We can't rely as heavily on models that don't "know" what's happening above our heads.

Today's severe weather forecast is less certain because we don't have weather balloon data to confirm the strength of jet stream winds aloft.

This is extremely frustrating, and is the result of logistical, organizational, political and budgetary decisions.

@septologie @oftenmoreso @ElliscbIV @VoteHub No one, most people waited until election night to drop off their ballots on purpose to spoil this stupid jungle primary.

[BlackCell (OSINT) @blackcell]

@oftenmoreso @Split_LifeTy @ElliscbIV @VoteHub Because California has 40 million people! Utah has 3.5! Don't be such a dotard. Instead of having to wait in lines on election day, most voters finish their ballot and drop it off at a secure location on election Day instead. There is chain of custody, paper recounts, no fraud.

[BlackCell (OSINT) @blackcell]

@JohnnyReno @ZacharyDonnini @lookner Yeah, that's not how this works, dotard. There's chain of custody, paper ballot recount audits which match the electronic tallying, stop making shit up.

Trump's National Guard deployment to DC last year led to a 24% decline in "opportunistic" property crimes like auto theft but made no appreciable difference in the violent crime he said he was targeting, study concludes. @cuneytdil https://t.co/3BmSTIIKTS

@JackRyanlives @Michael_Filak @JenniferJJacobs @edokeefe He clearly is, but the fact that Trump didn't parade him out as a hero, lends credence to reporting I've seen that the downed pilot narrative was a smoke screen for a special forces mission that was attempting to exfil Iranian uranium & that the pilot rescue was the cover story.

Congressional statute:

"There is a Director of National Intelligence who shall be appointed by the President ... Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise."

50 U.S. Code § 3023

[BlackCell (OSINT) @blackcell]

@Michael_Filak @JenniferJJacobs @edokeefe I've seen some quasi reputable reporting that the downed pilot narrative was a smoke screen for a special forces mission that was attempting to exfiltrate Iranian enriched uranium but that the planes either got damaged or crashed and that the pilot rescue was the cover story.

[Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs]

The pilot of the F-15E fighter jet downed over Iran was also flying one of the jets shot down at the start of the war by Kuwaiti friendly fire. Just over 30 days after safely ejecting during the friendly fire incident, the pilot was on a mission over Iran when the jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile. @ellee_watson @JimLaPorta

@barclaulas @lookner What? No, Saudi Arabia hosts US military bases and Iran has attacked many of them recently. Where have you been?

@davidfrum Fun fact. Gladiators were used as distraction during the Fall of the Roman Empire..

Trump was handed the opportunity to preside over a feel-good moment of national unity on July 4, 2026. All he had to do was for once in his life, not act like an egomaniacal lunatic. Instead, he's made a complete fiasco of the nation's 250th birthday. My latest https://t.co/77WQanV3kI
