🚨 5.4 MILLION views. And counting. Trump doesn’t want you watching this interview. So naturally, we should get it to 10 MILLION. Let’s make sure Trump sees just how many people are watching. 10 million views. One Texas Senate seat. Let's fucking go Texas. Let’s fucking go, Texas.

Why I both still subscribe to @nytimes.com & am such a loud critic: this is incredible journalism AND tomorrow the front & editorial pages will go right back to normalizing & euphemistically sanewashing the unprecedented authoritarianism & corruption as if this article were never written.

Nope. No way. Causing mass death, breaking laws, corruption, and essentially executing a big cyber attack on the US is not the sort of thing one accidentally stumbles into. “Oops, I got carried away” is a reasonable reaction when you eat extra brownies that were saved for someone else. Not for this.

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

• The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based
claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian drone strikes have crippled Russian oil refineries, slashing refining capacity by up to 25% and triggering fuel shortages in at least 56 of 85 regions. Putin has banned fuel exports, Moscow now rations gas to 20 liters per car, and occupied Crimea is paying $12.70/liter. #SlavaUkraiini

FIFA and the U.S. thought that by humiliating  Iran in the World Cup and making their logistics difficult, would turn the world against them. Instead, the amount of support they received throughout this tournament is unprecedented. They represented their country with dignity and humility. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

The funniest thing about the Spinal Tap arch is Trump is going to 1AM post some deranged defense of it that he's been workshopping all day. "The Freedom 250 Arch on the mall is an ARTISTIC abstract representation of the actual ARCH which will be magnificent the likes of which nobody has ever seen."

Satellite images show a 10-km line of cars trying to leave occupied Crimea. Planet Labs imagery from June 24 shows ~1,500 vehicles backed up from the Kerch Bridge checkpoint. Gas sales suspended indefinitely. Rail service cut to 7 trains after July 8. An operator called it "unprecedented."
