Excellent article by Christopher Flannery on the American Founding filled with quotes of founders & context. Happy 250th! https://t.co/RMt2PekdnX

ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Ukraine did a great job reverse engineering Russian Shahed / Geran drones. You can literally go on the website and see component breakdown - made in Texas, Germany, Switzerland.

Very relevant for Iran warfare.

I suggest you check it out. Share it.

Harrison Ford’s acceptance speech at The Actor Awards is beautiful. Everyone needs to watch this.

The War President requests that MAGA also take down all that swamp/corruption and Epstein stuff too.

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

The SAVE America Act would centralize dangerous voter-screening power in presidential appointees, undermining the Constitution’s design, warns Cato’s Walter Olson.

He notes the urgency: after trying to overturn a lost election once, Trump could gain new tools to challenge voter eligibility again.

A truly AWFUL situation; last week Border Patrol dropped a “nearly blind” Burmese refugee off in front of a random donut shop in Buffalo, five miles from his house.

He was just found dead, having never made it home.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

This man is going viral for showing up to an Anti-ICE protest in NJ. People thought he was there to cause trouble. They were wrong.

He’s never protested before. He came because he saw kids running from ICE on the news and couldn’t sit at home. This is the best of America.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

The MAGA cult has nothing in common with the real Republican Party. Just watch this clip of John McCain responding to a racist comment about Barack Obama in 2008:

“He’s a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with. That’s what this campaign is all about.”

[Robert Young Pelton @RYP__]

Thanks to DEI hire Kavanaugh and desperate low rent recruits at ICE we have malicious incompetence at speed.

[NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @NOELreports]

Former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi believes the most realistic end to the war may be a prolonged pause in fighting, with both sides using the time to rearm and prepare for future clashes.

"Victory is the collapse of the Russian empire. Anything less is just continued war," he stated.

It’s rare that governments disappear people out the front of a courtroom.
