Wolf Blitzer just called into CNN. He says the shooting occurred on the floor above where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held. Wolf says he was very close to the gunman and that a police officer threw him to the ground in an effort to protect him.

US military kills two more people in strike on alleged drug boat in Pacific
Small boat destroyed in video posted on social media as US campaign has killed at least 178 people since September The US military announced on Friday that it killed two people in an attack on a boat in the eastern Pacific, part of a series of deadly strikes on vessels in recent months which it claims are targeting “narco-trafficking” operations. The US Southern Command declared in a social media post on X that Gen Francis L Donovan directed Joint Task Force Southern Spear, the counter-narcotics unit that operates in the region, to carry out a lethal strike. The US military posted a video, which it labeled unclassified, showing a small boat being destroyed in an explosion. Continue reading...

Watching the CA governor’s debate - Bianco is is pompous ass, Hilton Is a mini Rupert Murdoch clone, Mahan sounds like a wanna be tech bro but sincere, Steyer really cares but lacks depth. Becerra & Porter have deep convictions & knowledge of what’s needed. Overall I give a slight edge to Becerra.

It’s so refreshing to listen to Xavier Becerra in this debate. No bombast, no script, no meanness. Just experience & humility. This is an easy choice, California. 💙

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Fact: Tom Steyer's former hedge fund, Farallon Capital Management, invested nearly $90 million in the Corrections Corporation of America (now known as CoreCivic), a major private prison company, while he was in charge. California. Don't fuck this up! Vote for Becerra.

Eric Swalwell has ENDED his campaign for governor! Make sure every California voter knows to NOT (repeat NOT) vote for Swalwell!!! It is too late for names to be removed from the California ballot. As such, Swalwell’s name will still show up on the ballot.

The arrogance of Vance and the administration. Not, “we couldn’t reach a deal,” but rather “they chose not to accept our terms.” The obvious mindset of the US does what it wants and all other countries, not to mention the Pope, fall into line or face the consequences.

Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

New scam: the sender (look at who sent this) isn't the SSA. It's a phishing account. The email address for government agencies ends in ". gov" , not "go-optic.com"

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
