Hey have you noticed that what’s moral and good and consistent with the “natural order” is giving me your money so I can get richer? Weird coincidence wow bsky.app/profile/moth...

Erik Prince's mercenaries wounded in Africa on a private contract are being treated at Walter Reed—at least 20 of them—just as if they were US uniformed service personnel. Outrageous. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

"For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law"

A new low for the US Senate

This was deservedly embarrassing for the Senator and his staff.

I can tell you what Xi thinks of the Orange Chicken here

A Russian frigate fired two flares at one of the Royal Danish Air Force’s Fennec helicopters today. The Danish Armed Forces announced the incident in a press release late Monday evening. The two flares were fired while the helicopter was carrying out routine photographic surveillance of the frigate,

No one named Mitch McConnell wants to work anymore

Hey where's Mitch McConnell anyway?

All I want to know: was he seen alive today? If not, is he dead or just a vegetable?

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children www.propublica.org/article/dona...

"It’s not clear why Kremlev helped pay for Trump Jr.’s wedding. The men appear to have met only recently. Public reporting suggests Trump Jr. could have afforded it himself, with Forbes recently estimating his net worth at roughly $300 million." www.propublica.org/article/dona...

I know that the United States elected Trump twice, one time even sort of on purpose, but I'll still pick Brexit as the most eyes-wide-open act of willful national self-destruction in my lifetime.

PRO PUBLICA: “Don JR’s wedding secretly bankrolled by Russian oligarch close to Putin” 🤔 So weird how this keeps happening 🤷🏼 www.propublica.org/article/dona...

"The war on terror did not create American authoritarianism, but it certainly reduced the startup costs of an authoritarian presidency" www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Nothing says “America First” like having Moscow sponsor the open bar.

Imagine having grifted millions and millions of dollars off your father’s political career like Don Jr, including government contracts in multiple businesses where you have an ownership stake, and STILL having a Russian oligarch pay for your lavish wedding. Just obscene.

I said this years ago. It's been obvious. It remains obvious. It's a tragedy for our country.

We now know harmful “forever chemicals” are likely in the bodies of most people on Earth. Decades ago, 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into the public’s blood, but they kept that a secret. One 3M scientist helped reporter Sharon Lerner understand how they kept it quiet for so long:

Moving on from infant mortality to boner meds

As WSJ reported, Witkoff was handpicked by Putin to replace Gen Kellogg. He was picked because he built his whole New York real estate empire by laundering money for assorted Russian oligarchs in Putin's inner circle and is beholden to them.

It still sickens me this bigot mocked a disabled reporter and millions of Americans said, “No big deal. That’s who I want as president.”

NEW on “Paper Trail”: More likely than not, there are ”forever chemicals” in your blood. Here’s the thing: 3M knew that these chemicals had seeped into people’s blood for decades — and continued making them. We found out how they kept this secret. Listen to the full episode:

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

Truth

Hurrah!

Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.” (Published June)

Did Ron DeSantis embezzle $10mn for a charity to be run by his wife? A Florida grand jury is persuaded that he did. This could get very interesting. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

Terrifying

Given how Tesla, SpaceX, and X have tanked, killing millions of people maybe this dorkish buffoon's greatest accomplishment.

NEW: ProPublica’s @jessecoburn.bsky.social chronicled how a Texas artillery factory failed to produce a single usable shell. The fiasco ended up costing the Army half a billion dollars. Here are the lapses in planning and execution our reporting uncovered.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, if you think that Harris should be in this pool or campaigning for anything national, I beg you to reconsider

It just keeps getting better.

Y'all... the Band of the Coldstream Guards performed "9 to 5" in front of Buckingham Palace in honor of Dolly Parton.

NEW: In Idaho, prosecutors can't file neglect or manslaughter charges against parents who say their faith prohibited giving lifesaving medical care to their children. But until the early 1970s, that wasn’t the case.

Coach Richardson required his teen players to hug him after practice, former players said, sometimes pulling girls down onto his lap and telling them, “I love you.” He also kept a bed in a back room at the gym, purportedly for player recovery.

Robot arms kept catching on fire. Machines kept ruining artillery shells. A $533 million General Dynamics project failed to produce a single usable shell. “It was a waste of government money, and it was a waste of our time,” one former technician said.

Yeah, there's that. If Netanyahu won't fire him, he tacitly approves
