Ethical, moral and competent leadership matters. Everything else is secondary.

Please don’t be ignorant. Get educated. This is actual measured information. The past nine years have been the warmest years since modern recordkeeping began in 1880. Humanity cannot afford to ignore such clear signals much longer. The impacts will be profound & devastating.

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

The House just passed an additional $60 billion for the war in Iran.

This money could fund free public college and free childcare for every American while expanding health care coverage for seniors.

It’s time to end the war and focus on investment here at home.

The tier-1 defense giants just delivered an absolute masterclass this morning, and the implications for $OSS are massive.

Both $RTX and $LMT severely beat Q2 expectations and simultaneously raised their full-year guidance across the board.

Let’s look at the staggering numbers from these key OSS partners:

🔹 $RTX: Revenue surged 14% YoY to $24.7B (vs. $22.6B est.), with adjusted EPS up 21% YoY to $1.89. Backlog grew an incredible 22% YoY, driven by double-digit defense growth and margin expansion.

🔹 $LMT: Revenue jumped 11% YoY to $20.06B (vs. $19.37B est.), with EPS smashing estimates at $7.94. They pulled in $65B in new orders, blasting their record backlog to $230B (+38% YoY).

The macro defense reality is loud and clear:

"Demand remains robust." When your primary customer base is aggressively scaling its order books, raising cash flow guidance, and expanding manufacturing capacity to record-breaking backlogs, the pure-play hardware suppliers sitting down-chain are positioned beautifully.

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.

GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.

This is our first full NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack, photographed in our Finland data center.

The NVIDIA Spectrum-6 switches we took delivery of last week is the scale-out fabric NVIDIA built for Vera Rubin. Compute and network are now being brought up together, in the same data center, by the same teams.

The close co-engineering relationship we enjoy with NVIDIA means we work together from the earliest stage of every new platform, shortening the path from first rack to production workloads.

After bring-up and validation comes software polishing and production-grade testing, so when Vera Rubin reaches our customers, it delivers its full potential from day one.

[Patricia Marins @pati_marins64]

Not a single word from the Russians, the Chinese, the European Union, or the entire global community about this scandalous episode.

My impression is that we are regressing by decades, perhaps even centuries, in just a few years.
No one knows where this money is going, while the White House has become a partner in Venezuela’s poverty.

And in the face of this, some real idiots in Israel and the Pentagon expected an uprising in Iran.

Who would be crazy enough to rebel against their own nation when a foreign power is brazenly threatening to loot their country’s coffers?

It is astonishing what we are witnessing in these times amid the global silence.

Trump has placed the US in such a position of low moral standing that there is no way the world can place any confidence in either the dollar or in American foreign policy.

Whoever comes to govern America after Trump, and this will only happen after a great deal of internal chaos, will have an immense task ahead that will take many, many years.

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I wanted to use Trump's threat to levy 50% tariffs on Canada to discuss the behavioral reasons why I believe Trump is so fixated on tariffs.
Two cornerstone objectives for Trump, especially now that he's playing out his final chapter on Earth, are greed and grandiosity. These two things, which interrelate, permeate everything he craves. He is a giant id. He wants awards, he wants things named after him, he wants $10B here and billions more there, and all of that is but a subset of what he really wants: The knowledge and belief that he can do whatever the f*ck he wants.
The legacy media always tries to understand Trump's stubborn fixations by normalizing him and asking: "What's he thinking?"
Allow me: Trump doesn't think; he feels. He craves.
And he likes how tariffs make him feel, because he can be a bully, impose his will, make and remove threats, and cause countries to do his bidding and pay him tribute arbitrarily. THEY FUEL HIS GRANDIOSITY.
How much more American consumers, businesses, and importers pay, is immaterial. None of that matters to Trump. People don't matter. America doesn't matter.
Bullying, imposing his will, being the center of attention, and threatening others, is the essence of what a malignant narcissist does.
It's like America didn't even elect a person.
It elected a pathology.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Jared Kushner holds no government position.

Yet he is our Middle East Envoy.

The Saudis have paid him $100M and invested $2B in his firm.

He pushed for Saudi nuclear enrichment over the objection of national security officials.

Today his father-in-law made it happen.

But what about my paintings…

Hunter Biden: “He bombed Iran. He told us he took out their nuclear weapons. Everybody said that’s not possible. Then he comes along and decides he’s gonna go in and drop some more bombs, but the first bomb he’s gonna drop, he’s gonna drop it on a girls’ school in Iran and kill 168 schoolchildren. Not a single-tap, a double-tap. What the fuck are we doing people?”

June 11-Mitch McConnell last seen in public.

June 12-Elaine Chao allegedly visits the Shanghai Jia Tong University in China.

June 14-Mitch taken to hospital by ambulance, no sirens.

June 17- Chao meets with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in Beijing.

June 25-Chao resigns from Kroger's Board of Directors after topping internal board buying by purchasing nearly 400 extra shares right before stepping down.

July 1- Kroger's announces acquisition of Giant Eagle Grocery Company

July 6-Chao returns from China.

July 12-McConnell's office claims he’s fine & posts old photo as “proof of life.”

July 19-Trump posts praise of Giant Eagle Grocery Company reducing their prices for a month and a half.

Chao just converted her 5672 phantom stocks from Kroger's into common shares in addition to the 4084 shares she already owned. Chao will directly benefit from the Kroger's buyout of Giant Eagle. Trump touting the grocery chain, preserves the financial health and market value of the business Kroger's is buying.

Why is Trump going out of his way to help Mitch McConnell's wife?
Where is Mitch McConnell?

[Retro Coast @RetroCoast]

This is astonishing:

99% of Americans don't even KNOW that America pays for Israel to have free healthcare.

Every Israeli citizen gets free healthcare paid for by the US taxpayer

And we don't even KNOW about it.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Manufacturing jobs grew under Biden to a peak of almost 13 million.

Under Trump, they’ve declined despite his promises to “bring jobs back home.”

Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us.

Let them know how you feel.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

Unfortunately, the House just voted to merge the most secretive & sensitive elements of our defense & intelligence apparatus with a foreign government.

This bill still has to clear the Senate.

Call your senators & representatives and tell them to not support the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (Section 219) is removed.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

Q2 was an amazing quarter, with our AI investments redefining what’s possible across every part of our business.

Alphabet revenue grew 24% YoY and Google Cloud accelerated to 82% growth. We saw exciting momentum across the board from Search to YouTube to the Gemini app (which reached 950M monthly active users). Our model APIs are processing 22B tokens/min (up from 16B+ last quarter) driven by our workhorse Flash models. We’re also seeing great adoption of Gemini Enterprise, used by 90% of the Fortune 100, as well as strong demand for our security solutions.

Outstanding results and momentum, and such an exciting moment—thanks to all of our partners and employees around the world! 🙌 About to hop on the call!

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Final vote total for the NDAA today which tragically merges our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s. Let’s hope this version fails in the Senate because Section 219 is a betrayal of our sovereignty.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Total betrayal.
The House of Representatives passed the NDAA 216-212.
7 Republicans voted NO.
6 Democrats voted YES.
This $1.1 trillion dollar military budget contains Sec 219 that ties our military intelligence and military industrial base to Israel.
Now it goes to the Senate.

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

President Trump’s threat to destroy civilian infrastructure—like bridges and power plants—is a textbook example of failed coercion

History shows this failed in Vietnam

It will not force Iran into submission

Escalation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

More evidence Trump is totally not serious about getting a nuclear deal with Iran.

This agreement will set off a nuclear race in the region, further disincentivizing Iran from limiting its own program.

Police arrest woman protesting ICE—for holding sign on public sidewalk.

Video clearly shows woman just peacefully standing quietly.

"I do not consent to be searched!" she yells as male officers take everything off her.

Her sign reads: "Nobody is free until we are all free."

Incident occurred outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois.

TuCo Fuentes doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
