Why is Ukraine attacking a ship carrying the Iranian weapons that would kill their civilians called "a widening of the conflict".....when Iran supplying them in the first place was not?

🧵1/3 I need to vent. These idiots destroyed critical public health work and lost the expertise of over 3,000 dedicated staff.

Now they think they can fix that by bringing in new hires? How about ensuring all the folks on admin leave are brought back first?

This is why we choose the bears.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

"They’re telling him he has to go bigger to end this once and for all.” 🤦‍♀️ How big? Who's telling him? Military types? How do you 'end it once and for all'? This is delusional, without a 20-year occupation and a draft. What am I missing? Wish Congress would wake up.

I know this isn't the biggest takeaway, but Pam Bondi claiming that Dow is at "over 50,000 dollars" is pretty funny, as it shows how ignorant she is. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is indexed. The 50,000 doesn't represent dollars. And if I did, the entire Dow couldn't afford a single Land Rover.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Dems in Congress need to use their "shut down power" to keep ICE out of hospitals and medical facilities, unless they themselves are having a medical emergency.

Call your senators, representative. Forward this article to them.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
