There are several major pieces moving at once: CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a rare, unannounced visit to Moscow; Fedorov takes his election push into the international media; Britain is advancing long-range missile production for Ukraine; and Patriot discussions are intensifying.
Individually, they may be unrelated. But taken together, this is a very interesting moment.
Something is moving behind the scenes. And I’d be watching Washington, Moscow and Kyiv extremely closely over the next few weeks.
MEGA🧵on prices: OIL is X but why is GASOLINE Y and DIESEL Z?!?! a thread on refining this summer and what's behind it, your questions answered in this thread (plz share!):
Moderna shares more than doubled after its personalized mRNA melanoma vaccine, developed with Merck, succeeded in late-stage trials. The company said its treatment prevented the deadly skin cancer from returning or spreading in a study of high-risk patients.
@SteveKornacki@AdamNoboa a lot of us watch not just for the headlines, but because we genuinely value hearing them from you. Your insights and reporting are the best in the biz.
There is literally no ID requirement or residency requirement or income requirement to shop at City grocery stores. The only card we'll have is a voluntary savings card like they have at any typical supermarket.
I think we speak for the whole OSINT community when we say that Google should revert this change immediately. We’ve already seen AI-generated satellite imagery flooding the information space. This is irresponsible and adds nothing of value. Google Earth’s new AI image generation feature needs to be removed.
You paid for a plane with "a level of luxury that nobody has never seen before". And he's apparently taking it with him once he leaves the White House.

President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities in the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president. https://t.co/ZgTlwWOcXW
Canadian oil makes up ***62%*** of the amount of oil the U.S. imports and ***25%*** of every barrel that goes into U.S. refineries. how's that for "energy independence"? let that sink in.
So basically a repeat of last week, but this time Trump's proposing that roughly 6% of annual taxpayer revenue be given to Iran. And that's not even for a peace deal, just for Iran's permission to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait, which was already open before the war.
Tell me you’ve been recruited without telling me you’ve been recruited. Delcy was a creature of Cuban intelligence for years, and you should see this play as integrated with U.S. efforts in Havana. They want an equivalent steward. Naval buildup, Raúl indictment, etc. Tick tock.
Back from…?
The country is under complete Republican/MAGA control - the House, Senate and White House.
And Texas — under Republican control for decades.
