Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and the benefits it provides. The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil emissions are doing to our oceans. easternherald.com/2026/06/13/u...

Alleged White House UFC plotter Michael Alan Thomas reposted pro-Trump and anti-Democratic messaging for years on his TikTok account. It appears Thomas was MAGA, then became disaffected MAGA after many of Trump’s campaign promises didn’t happen.

Every woman in the world knows this shared look of EU President Ursula von der Leyen, and Japan's Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa at the G7, while listening to Trump ranting about the UFC fights. Roughly translated it means, "Can you believe how ridiculous this old fool sounds?"

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm in Los Angeles. At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover. This is completely unacceptable. FIFA should not be a political wing of the US Government.

So shocked. Trumpy lied about the cost of his stupid ballroom.. Of course he did.. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
washingtonpost.com
Trump said no taxpayer money would be spent on the ballroom. A contractor’s invoices show otherwise.
An internal cost estimate in March by the project’s contractor ran $200 million more than Trump has said publicly and counters his claims that no taxpayer money will be spent.
