Iranian state-affiliated media is reporting that Iran has expanded its list of potential military targets to include economic interests associated with Elon Musk in West Asia, including assets located in Arab countries and Israel.

At its best, public service connects expertise to the public good. Honored to moderate a conversation on that responsibility with Senators Kelly and Hickenlooper. Join us at 230 pm EDT today: bit.ly/4cWCaRB

Trump backs down and says he is cancelling his planned strikes on Iran tonight

ALL INFORMED Brits now know that Brexit was the brainchild of Putin & the Kremlin - so to Divide EU and Britain; with the same mass disinformation and NAZI style social division tactics that got Putin puppet Trump installed, and his corrupt UK 🇬🇧 puppet Nigel Farage. The Kremlin hijacks our emotions.

Because Dear Leader Says So...

A series of car explosions in Moscow Two vehicles have been blown up in the Russian capital today. In one of the explosions, a 62-year-old lieutenant general was killed. The blasts occurred in residential districts where Russian military personnel and their families live.

BREAKING: Indigenous white people commit riot and arson. Incompetent indigenous white police fire water cannon. Indigenous white politicians who fucked up our economy discuss "legitimate concerns" in lying newspapers owned by indigenous white tax evaders. Immigrants somehow remain the problem.

Convicted Felon Trump has hijacked our nation’s 250th anniversary to award more than $100 million in federal contracts to entities controlled by Trump officials & allies. Here's the latest, including how Trump's "Freedom 250" is soliciting donations from foreign nationals. youtu.be/Kq8hosHd_W4?...

True, but many of those jobs were temporary and low-skilled, meaning hospitality services for the World Cup, which is flailing and slowly turning out to be an economic turkey. Regular folks can barely afford to buy tomatoes - how can they entertain buying tickets to a football game?

Well more jobs is good. But at the same time, there was a boost in hospitality. Is that temporary because of the World Cup? You still have to look at the whole picture.

Prices are rising faster than paychecks.⁣ ⁣ Average wages haven't kept pace with inflation, which means the purchasing power of the typical paycheck is falling.⁣ ⁣ I explain what's driving it: https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/war-rages-on-prices-keep-rising-and

The key point isn't just one jobs report. It's whether people can trust the scorekeeper. ⁣ ⁣ If politicians can bully the agency that measures jobs and inflation, every economic debate gets foggier.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-i-still-trust-the-jobs-report

A fact: payrolls rose by 172,000 in May.⁣ ⁣ An interpretation: that's good news for the labor market.⁣ ⁣ Good economics starts by knowing which is which.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-i-still-trust-the-jobs-report

I don’t worry much about non-MAGA believing stolen election crap. I’ve always been skeptical of ICE being able to do much at polling sites. And I know most district judges have upheld the law But I’m not sanguine about a DOJ attorney & a dozen US Marshals shutting down tabulation sites.

Mike Johnson is/was complicit with every illegal thing trump has done, from Tariffs, the Epstein Files, ICE Murders and Wars. Will he ever be held accountable?

If ICE or federal officers violate your constitutional right to record, they should be held accountable. That's why I introduced the Right to Record Act to create a legal pathway to sue federal officers and put real enforcement behind our rights.

Pretty frustrating that we're not getting this story from any of the professional journalism outlets in the area. I'm glad Molly is doing it, but why does she have to?

Fucking ICE arresting people in Baltimore outside a preschool graduation www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

We don't need to defeat 20k ICE agents. We need to make it so they don't want to be ICE agents anymore.

BREAKING MS NOW: ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers under Trump. On an average day, ICE has 25 children aged 3 or younger in custody, according to joint research by MS NOW and The Marshall Project.

Trump and Republicans want $240 billion for ICE with no reforms, no accountability, and no guardrails against corruption or political abuse. That’s more than Russia spends on defense during a war. It’s not normal. It’s not safe. And it’s not what Americans need.

It's Kegsbreath, isn't it. 🫢 When the 'leader' of the Department of Defense gets so drunk on his way back from Guantanamo and his fake ass workouts and the alcohol vapors emitting from his stanky ass shut down the Pentagon...

"We're all trying to treat this as if it's serious and we can actually check math on it, when it's just the President of the United States saying things which are untethered to reality." @jvl.bsky.social, @eggerdc.bsky.social and Ben Parker on Trump’s Iran fantasy, where nothing adds up.

More than 4,400 Allied troops died on D-Day. They gave their lives to defeat a regime that judged people by race and religion. Let’s not dishonor them by allowing that sickness to spread in or from the government of the United States.

"This isn’t what anybody would expect if they knew anything about the Arkansas experience." That's why this report on Medicaid doesn't mention the very relevant Arkansas experience!

"She's not going to be a congresswoman for long and she's not gonna be the governor... she is too crazy even for the Republican primary voters." @timmiller.bsky.social revels in the political defenestration of Nancy Mace in South Carolina.

"Buckley is an apt figure to study at a time when leading conservatives exhibit scant charm while adopting a no-enemies-to-the-right policy—and when conservatism itself, as he would have recognized it, has ceased to be a force in American politics."

The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II were all times of crisis in which America held regular elections.

In case you’re keeping score, Donald Trump has claimed that a “deal” with Iran was just about to happen at least 38 times since he started the war.

Big election results in states like Maine, California, and South Carolina that will have wide-ranging impacts, including on key US Senate races in November. I recap some of the more notable outcomes & focus on what’s next in these races. youtu.be/DkqEXni9dPE?...

The first Europeans who saw a platypus thought it was a fraud.⁣ ⁣ Not because it was fake. Because it didn't fit the model they had in their heads.⁣ ⁣ I worry we sometimes make the same mistake with economic data.⁣ ⁣ https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/why-i-still-trust-the-jobs-report

A republican vote is a vote for hate and child rape!!!

Knicks is short for Knickerbockers Spurs is short for Bonespurs Trump sucks! KNICKS WIN!!

Anybody upset about the outcome always claims fraud and rigging.

Greg Abbott will be plagiarizing this in the morning

That's how elections work now cuz Trumpty Dumpty said so.

That is EXACTLY how el Cheetoria’s argument sounded. Nice work

Very suspicious when a bunch of points come in for one team but not the other. As Little Mikey would say, "not fraud but it stinks to high heaven."

Also, the COVID disappears if you stop collecting data about infections!

Clandestine nighttime “massive dumps” of points is the only possible explanation.
