“The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.”

Imagine for a second what would happen if a Palestinian public figure made a joke about raping Israelis on the red carpet of the Tribeca film festival.

White phosphorus is still falling on south Lebanon. A new @nytimes investigation by @sanjanamv, with verified footage as recent as May 30. It references the research database of 200+ strikes I've been building since Oct 2023. https://t.co/rzkiw8UnB9

So cool that ICE and IDF function in the same manner just with different operating areas

Under FISA 702, the government collects massive amounts of data on Americans while “targeting” foreigners overseas.

They then unconstitutionally search that data without a warrant for info on Americans.

The “libertarian demand” he’s whining about is called the Fourth Amendment.

They killed a general? By accident?

[Egypt's Intel Observer @EGYOSINT]

The IDF admits it opened fire on a Lebanese Army vehicle near the Tebnit area because it had not coordinated its movements with the Israeli military, even though it was operating inside Lebanese territory.

Three Lebanese Army personnel were killed, including a senior officer.

Y'all laugh but this is literally true. Every picture of you is a piece of your soul being taken away. Shapeshifters are taking the form of a holocaust victim and a disabled child to steal your soul. You'll realize soon enough. A guy in Hollywood has to circumvent this to maintain sanity

Bravo Sean!

Checking in on the discourse

[Joseph Haboush @jhaboush]

Israel has stepped up its efforts to eavesdrop on senior US officials, including Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s top negotiator, Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon’s top policy official, and Mike DiMino, the Pentsgon’s top Middle East official, per NYT, citing new intel reports.

Hamas still exists and Iran is kicking their ass.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Rather shocking remarks at the Park East Synagogue on Sunday from former Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan: “Message to Mayor Mamdani: We survived Amalek, we survived Hamas, we defeated Iran, we overcame Pharaoh — we will overcome Zohran Mamdani as well.”

Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.

Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.

They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.

He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.

And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.

But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)

Dude beside me at the restaurant just told his wife that he cheated on her and she is crying loudly, over at my table it’s miller time though. #millertime

I guess the citizens of the US can now just envision civil dignified travel in their heads using AI generated images of good metro and high speed trains instead of actually spending the money and doing the work of building them in their country.

This should be every country's stand!
