If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

Before he was appointed, Kash Patel was flagged by FBI counterintelligence agents as being deeply enmeshed in influence operations run by the Russians and Chinese. After he took over, Patel began systematically eliminating all Russian and Chinese counterintelligence capacity. What to make of that?
npr.org
As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

wow -- Fox Business is now treating Trump's completely made up economic boasts as though they are factual. Note the citation here -- "The White House" Reminder that the entire US economy is about $32t. If we really had $21t flowing in, you'd notice it Fox thinks their viewers are really dumb

She was being blackmailed over explicit photos. She went to police and gave them the photos as evidence. The cop kept the pictures on his phone, showed them to others, and didn’t catch the blackmailer- who ended up killing her. Just enraging. I wonder why victims of sex crimes don’t report 🤔🤬😢

If you've willingly consumed alcohol, a NY law makes it extraordinarily difficult to prove that you were unable to consent to sex. That includes situations where a victim is slurring words or falling down. Advocates say the law was critical in a DA's decision to decline prosecution at Cornell.

The loophole that likely doomed the Cornell rape case before it even started
Accusers who voluntarily drink have little protection under an antiquated law many see as "victim-blaming."
