This year, we have two and a half times fewer interceptors than we had in 2025. Russia has two times more ballistic missiles per month than they had before. We pay 100% to the Americans for ballistic missiles. We get the package from the U.S. and then comes my personal involvement. It doesn't work the other way. It's my personal talks, meetings and phone calls each day. I try to exchange something for missiles.

I'm asking American partners to sell 5% of the missiles they have in stock. If the Americans sell us 5% – PAC-3 interceptors, nothing else – we will go through the winter and save people's lives. If they can sell us 10%, we will destroy all the Russians' ballistic missiles. As of today, I have 1%.

Vaccines do not cause autism

Vaccine doses are nowhere close to “the size of a bottle of soda,” they’re a fraction of a teaspoon

The combo MMR vaccine is not “quite lethal,” it’s been very safe for more than five decades

There are no separate M/M/R shots available in the US and won’t be anytime soon 

Autism prevalence wasn’t “1 in 10,000” in 2006, it was 1 in 110

No state has been requiring little kids to get “72 jabs,” nor even by age 18

Fact check on the rapid-fire vaccine misinformation President Trump delivered yesterday while pushing to change US vaccine policy: https://t.co/qSF53N8XJW

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @Fritschner. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over."

*profanity warning if watching in public.

Never forget that RFK Jr. testified in his divorce proceedings that he couldn’t afford alimony because he was so brain damaged he couldn’t hold a job.

Anyway, now he’s the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

We live in very strange times.

The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.

MacFarlane: Some national park service workers are so alarmed, they leaked internal spreadsheets that show where the money is going. 

We added the numbers together and found for the white house grounds for the vanity projects, the beautification and the needed upgrades: They've set aside $323 million for this year…

$323 million compared to $7 million for the white house in 2024. That's a 5,000% increase. 

National mall has a ten fold increase from 2024 for projects that are the president's priority. 

Doesn't mean the money is directly being starved out of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Zion, Grand Canyon. But we checked those parks all have significantly less funding allotted for them this year than they did two years ago, and there's a $30 billion backlog of deferred maintenance

They are going to have to shortchange important projects throughout America to marshal donated money or taxpayer money on things like a reflecting pool, a helipad, a ballroom, and other vanity projects.

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth has been saying since day one of the war that the U.S. has the world’s strongest military and would crush Iran within just a few days. 🤡

And drunk on this arrogance, he removed more than 20 top U.S. military generals from their positions because they opposed the war.

Today, when the U.S. is badly stuck in this war, Hegseth is saying, “We underestimated Iran’s capabilities.” 🤣

There’s an old saying: when arrogance goes to your head, common sense is the first thing to die. And that’s exactly what is happening now. 🤡🔥

[John Collins @Logically_JC]

Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal?

Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held, to prevent interference or intimidation.

You’d think an Attorney General would know this.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."

The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.

This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!

What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers.

Your refund: $0.00
Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion

[Ahmed Eldin | أحمد الدين @aseisfree]

Trump did in one sentence what a hundred State Department briefings had spent weeks trying not to say: the campaign to gut the ICC isn’t about sovereignty, it’s about Bibi. Rubio stood at Camp David and dressed the whole thing up in the language of American self-defense, arrogant judges, illegitimate overreach, a court coming for soldiers who never signed up for its jurisdiction. Then the president, almost bored, waved it away and told everyone what it actually was. A tribunal built to try the people who order war crimes is being dismantled, brick by brick, to keep one man off its docket. And the closest thing to honesty in the whole affair came from the one person who wasn’t even trying to be honest. Somewhere in The Hague, the warrant is still sitting there, unenforceable, un-embarrassed, waiting for a world that still believes in it. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

MAGA cult members, remember when Trump personally awarded Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation for his work on Operation Warp Speed and the COVID vaccine?

Trump apparently didn’t.

When Megyn Kelly asked him about it, he claimed he had no idea who gave Fauci the award. Kaitlan Collins pulled the receipt: Trump himself issued it on January 19, 2021—his final full day in office.

Thanks, Kaitlan Collins. The internet never forgets, even when Trump does.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We have comprehensive intelligence reports on Russia’s plans for the fall. Putin is preparing the conditions for expanding mobilization. His casualty figures speak for themselves. In less than seven months this year, 221,000 people have joined the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. During the same period, Russian casualties have amounted to nearly 225,500, among them 131,000 killed and almost 93,000 wounded. A significant share of those wounds are severe, as frontline medical care in Russia is catastrophically poor.

Putin is preparing to simply send more Russians to war. He disguises it with different words and signals, but that is what he is preparing to do. It is crucial that, together with our partners, we exert enough pressure on Russia so that the idea of ending this aggression becomes the dominant one – the idea of peace, not of another Russian mobilization.

U.S. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. A federal judge ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the unredacted documents. The DOJ has refused to hand over Epstein files after a judge's order. The deadline was July 2, 2026.

As someone works in human rights, I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my 15-year career. There are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men who

Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children!

Remember: this is a minority of the files. This's just what they were willing to release.

Not a single arrest or investigation. ZERO.

We called on the U.S. Department of Justice to hand over the full Epstein files to the UN Special Rapporteurs and UN independent committees for investigations, as this is an international case of crimes against humanity. But the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN's top human rights official didn't even care to open an investigation or listen to our call for the DoJ, nor utter a single word regarding the largest human trafficking network in modern history.

Epstein pedophiles are investigating Epstein files. We wonder why nobody arrested. Jeffery Epstein has every major politicians and billionaires on video doing something terrible to a child or to multiple people.

THOUSANDS have been arrested for criticizing Zionism. THOUSANDS have been arrested for social media posts. ZERO have been arrested for raping children.

The Epstein files is never really about just a "list." It is about children raped by powerful men, and a system that let them get away with it.

The bottom line here is the world system has become so corrupt that the time has come I think to clean the crap out of the stables and start over.

The Epstein files is about protecting children. There's no greater cause. If people can't unite over children being raped and abused there's no hope for humanity.

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump claims his war on Iran is about stopping an authoritarian country from enriching nuclear fuel.

Now he's letting his best friends in Saudi Arabia — one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world — do exactly that.

This is absurd. No nuclear for the Saudi dictatorship.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.

Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.

The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.

It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.

Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.

It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.

It did all of this to cheat on a test.

Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.

The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

Rep. Smith: "Apparently this fire's up in Canada and the wind is blowing south, so it's Canada's fault. We have to slap a 50% tariff on them. This is the way we govern? It's insane."

[Tom Mars @TomMarsLaw]

ICYMI, Michigan goes on record with the Detroit News saying no written report of the J&B investigation was prepared. That’s a far cry from not releasing the report because it’s protected from disclosure by state law. What’s more, making sure nothing is in writing is straight out of the playbook of mobsters and white collar criminals.

And Michigan thought it was a good idea to confirm that’s exactly what it did? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

This is absolute cinema 🎥

🇺🇸Pete Hegseth: "We need tens of billions more for the Iran war."

🇺🇸Jon Ossoff: "Why? On day 14 of the war you already declared historic victory and said Iran’s military was destroyed."

🇺🇸Hegseth: "Iran still retains capabilities."

🇺🇸Ossoff: "So you lied to the American people and now you’re asking for more money.

Your 'Operation Epic' has been an epic failure." 🔥

Jon Ossoff absolutely cooked Pete Hegseth 🔥

Finally someone just says it.

Michigan's president doesn't support the Senate bill because, "We are not going to sacrifice the competitive advantage that we have built for more than a century.”
