In an interview with CBS, Rep Byron Donalds (R-FL), the leading GOP candidate to succeed Ron DeSantis as governor of Florida, he admits to his drug convictions. But CBS fails to ask him about the financial fraud charges to which he copped. Come on folks, this is public info.
Iran has destroyed a key $300 million radar system crucial to directing US missile defense batteries in the Gulf that risks further straining the region's ability to counter future attacks, according to a US government source.
NEW!! US Officials Confirm Russia Providing Targeting Intelligence to Iran In Middle East War

Today in Trump foreign policy:
Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?
Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.
Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.
3 ballistic missiles were launched, two targeting energy structures in Kyiv.
The other is said to have hit an apartment block in Kharkiv.
At least six people are reported injured - including a child.
Drones are still flying too.
Someone in the Commons really does need to ask to what extent Palantir — supposedly involved in saving lives in the NHS — is simultaneously ending them in the Middle East.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president had a “feeling, again, based on fact,” that Iran was going to strike the United States. Below is a TV still of Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing podium, with a news banner reading “BREAKING NEWS.”
We bombed a girls’ school and killed 175 kids based on his feelings?!
He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:
"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."
A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.
Trump and Hegseth know exactly what happened with the bombing of the girls school. This “investigation” is a smoke screen because they know the attention span of our media cycles, so they will drag it out until they stop getting asked about it. Which is usually 48 hours or so.
Russia trying to kill Americans is just so ho-hum.
So, to be clear, this was a straightforward lie from the Telegraph, the newspaper that Axel Springer has just purchased?
⚡️Explosions were also reported in Kharkiv as Russia continued its wave of strikes on Ukraine, while Kyiv was already under missile attack. Odesa is meanwhile facing a Russian drone attack, according to local media.
Two loud explosions in Kharkiv ‼️ our city is under russian missile attack right now ❗️
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...
An Iranian kamikaze drone has struck US Camp Victory near Baghdad International Airport in a repeat attack. #Iran
Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:
"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."
"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."
Noem lent Melania Trump one of DHS’ luxury jets as an ‘insurance policy’ to protect her from spending backlash, report says
Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
Trump has all the money, all the power, all the attention, and all the bombs in the world.
But were he to live for a thousand years, he'd never have this.
And it must eat him up.
Next week's cover of The New Yorker. "War-a-Lago" by Barry Blitt.
Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
A new wave of explosions hit Iran. In several cities, explosions are reported. #Iran
President Trump demands unconditional surrender in respect of something his government insists is not a war.
