It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Major General Gardner, Eagle 6, has just had his authority undermined by Hegseth. Every shitbird, Blue Falcon, & ambulatory disciplinary case in the 101st now knows they can get away with anything provided they can turn it into content for Hegseth.

“He is not, however, the owner!” “unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!" U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon, a known user of !!!, blocks White House ballroom action:

It would have been great to get this opinion before he demolished the East Wing, but no one moved fast enough. It's a metaphor for his entire administration.

"The lies the administration told after those killings [Renee Good/Alex Pretti] aren’t the lies you tell to cover something up.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Nice! NHC track forecasts were more accurate than the 5-year means at all lead times. Intensity forecast errors exceeded the 5-year means because there were so many rapid intensification episodes, but intensity skill (which takes this difficulty into account) “remained near all-time highs.”

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir. The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell. Open letter linked + explainer 🧵1/ www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gilea...

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Unusual thread.

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

This seems highly illegal. And if it somehow is allowed to continue, why would anyone else enter into any sort agreement with this administration?

A Dept. of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica set new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer. The agency cited no new science, instead relying on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government. Listen to former Navy fighter pilot Jack Gelman's story:

I want someone like Ezra Klein or CNBC to hunt down all the CEOs who were sure Trump would be good for business and do a focus group, mostly just to watch them squirm.

I'm going on Krugman's substack in a few to talk energy, so I've been trying to wrap my head around a 30K view of the domestic energy landscape. It has brought to mind one of my favorite rants, which I will rant at you once again here. Let's talk about a contrast. 🧵

Trump: "I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it 3 times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me. It starts off with an easy question and by the time you get to the middle it gets tougher -- mathematical equations and things."

It is past 9pm. I have not eaten dinner, but just remembered I have leftover Costco rotisserie chicken in my freezer and will not have to air fry salmon again. I really did not expect how annoying it would be to plan dinner every night as an adult.

ABC reports that Mike Flynn’s reward for committing crimes for Trump will be $1.2M. abcnews.com/US/doj-pay-t...

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

if anything like this actually comes to fruition it is inarguable that donald trump started and comprehensively lost a war in less than a month this is an absolute body blow to the idea of american hegemony
