#Iran: Prominent UAE billionaire philanthropist, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, just published a BRUTAL open letter to Trump:
". . . Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield . . ? We didn't sign up for this. . .”
The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.
A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)
Half a million displaced in a country of approx. 5.9 million. The majority have been displaced multiple times. People are sleeping in the streets.
It is Ramadan. People can't check on family b/c they know Israel is weaponizing phones & internet.
This is layers of physical & psychological warfare.
One good thing about this is maybe it will force a few owners of "oversized vehicles" to confront how much space they take up and that there is an actual geometry to all this. And that maybe it doesn't make sense to use something the size of a small bus to transport two or three people.
“Evil must be stopped. Ukrainians here in Donbas are doing exactly that!”
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the Donetsk region and thanked Ukrainian defenders.

Dana Bash called Trump to talk about Iran. He turned to Cuba instead: “Cuba is going to fall pretty soon”.
No one could have predicted that starting a trade war would lead to the loss of jobs.
Collecting your money illegally was so much easier.
Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with military intelligence to target U.S. forces. Trump won’t say a word about it.

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.
So Russia is giving Iran targeting and intel on American forces in the Gulf.
So let me get this straight: Trump supports Russia, which supports Iran.
So, in Trump logic, Ukraine is the enemy.
Got it.
