Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

OpenAI’s models broke free and launched a cyberattack. Congress wants new rules before it happens again.
The first fully autonomous breach by OpenAI’s most powerful AI models has prompted a bipartisan push for stronger oversight over increasingly powerful artificial intelligence models.

And what HE said: Mayor Mamdani in his hometown paper saying yes to big tents and no to the bouncy castle of nowhere.
There are moderates in the Democratic Party who’ve called to expel the D.S.A. from the Democratic coalition. And I want to flip that around. Is there room in the party you want to create for moderate Democrats? Yes. Full stop. I’m not interested in expelling people from parties. I think that’s what you do when you can’t win the debate within the party.

Even if they work with AIPAC? If they are Democrats and they run as Democrats and they win as Democrats, then they should be a part of the Democratic Party. There are people with whom I have vehement disagreements with on any number of topics. But if we can find a place of agreement, that’s what I’m going to focus that relationship on. If you’re just looking for people who you agree with on everything, then you might as well just stay home and look at a mirror. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/18/magazine/zohran-mamdani-interview.html

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Trump announced today that he was going to keep housing prices up, sued the US taxpayers for $10B, threatened Canada, made a few dozen posts about how he won in 2020, posted about prosecuting Obama for treason, then went to a movie about his wife that Bezos spent $75 million on.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
