NEW: BPI research reveals that a Marxist-Leninist group with documented ties to China has been a critical mobilizer in efforts that have blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI investment in the US.
Its scalps include 10 data center moratoria, 1 permanent data center ban, and 4 rejected or scrapped AI projects.
In Part II of our foreign influence investigation, BPI exposes the Party for Socialism and Liberation (or PSL) as the political arm of Shanghai-based Neville Singham, and lays bare a national campaign launched by the party to stop America’s data center buildout.
Singham is the subject of multiple federal investigations into his reported ties to the CCP. Our research uncovers the anti-data-center organizing of his activist vehicle, the PSL, across 21 campaigns in 14 states, in roles ranging from lead organizer to one member of a broader coalition.
This report adds to the mounting evidence that China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America’s data center buildout so that Beijing can gain the advantage in the AI race.
Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones successfully hit Russia’s JSC Niifi, a key manufacturer of electronics for multiple Russian missile systems.
Seen here, the plant burns, sending a column of smoke rising over Penza.
Socialist candidate Melat Kiros, who was born in Ethiopia, is about to beat 15-term incumbent Diana DeGette in the Democrat primary for Colorado's 1st Congressional District.
Here she is saying that 9/11 was America's fault.
Seems like the Abandoned KamAZ-4386 ZASN-D 'Typhoon-VDV' near Valkovskii, Belgorod raion from April this year was finally finished off some time prior to the 8th June. This is the first confirmed loss of the VDV's modern MRAP, first adopted in 2021.

Today Russian Navy corvette Soobrazitelny 531 intervened to make German media, politicians and possibly coast guard stay away from a shadow tanker in waters between Denmark and Germany.
I’ll say it over and over:
Right now the highest value targets Ukraine can focus on—more than fuel tankers themselves—is Russian army engineering units and their equipment.
Without the ability to repair or create crossings the logistical bottlenecks will tighten. (1/2)
1st Unmanned Systems Center has broken through a corridor in the air defense system towards Moscow.
The leaky russian air defense is not a social media skit or a coincidence. The destruction of strategic facilities in St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga and Moscow is possible only thanks to an open corridor in a saturated air defense system on enemy territory.
Operators of the "Roni" group of the 1st USC (14th regiment), a strategic action unit, are systematically destroying the "SKPP" (airspace control system) radars in the Bryansk region, which control the airspace towards the Russian capital. And when the enemy loses their “eyes”, the sky is open for our long-range strikes.
The video shows footage of the operation "Polyphemus", which has significantly increased the effectiveness of our deep strike drones in the northern direction. And it will not be easy for the Russians to patch this “hole towards Moscow”.
We will outlast the enemy.
Russia will temporarily close a number of railway border crossings with Finland, Latvia and Estonia from July 1, 2026, for reasons unknown.
The appropriate executive order has been issued by the Russian government.
The decision concerns five crossings with Finland, one crossing with Latvia, and one crossing with Estonia.
🇩🇰Denmark today announced donation package 30 to 🇺🇦Ukraine with 4.4bn DKK (590m EUR) in support, where 1.3bn DKK (174m EUR) is for the “Danish model” where Ukraine uses the funding for Ukrainian defence industry products such as Bohdana artillery systems.
The dissent from Neil Gorsuch in the birthright citizenship case is actually very interesting. He basically says that he would deny birthright citizenship to children of temporary visitors but not to illegal immigrants who lived here permanently. So on the question of whether illegal immigrants' kids are citizens, it's actually more like a 7-2 decision.
The ZAK-30 Citadel has target detection systems on a separate remote tower.
Still unclear what type of sensors are on it.
Some 30mm rounds are hitting the drones at 1300m ranges (LRF probably). Having radar-guided rounds to lead sounds like a must.
