Portugal fined Β£8.7m by EU court for failing to protect biodiversity The court of justice said Portugal had committed serious infringements of EU environmental law

"Lisbon was ordered by the court to comply with the EU habitats directive in a case brought by the European Commission in 2019 after allegations it had failed to designate sites of community importance as special areas of conservation (SAC)."

Noem deserved to be fired. That is a win for the forces of the Constitution.

But the fact that Trump launched a war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and then days into it fired his Homeland Security secretary is a level of reckless incompetence that should get him fired too.

interesting that it's taken as a given that the US should have a hand in shaping who the iranian people choose as their leader

Including β€œTrump” and β€œpromise” in the same sentence needs its own entry in the glossary of logical fallacies

Hold up. Trump officials are saying Israel went something like β€œwe’re totally gonna attack on our own, but then Iran might shoot back at you, so really you’re under imminent threat and should start the war with a big attack,” and the White House bought it, and this is supposed to be a *defense*?!?

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Please remember you are likely to see even anti-war and anti-intervention Iranians celebrate Khamenei’s death (if confirmed) as he has been a source of death, tyranny, destruction, and has held Iran back.

A lot going on right now but don't miss that Trump got one of the worst inflation reports of his 2nd term yesterday. The PPI came in hot, way over expectations. 1/

Sending Kushner + Witkoff as "negotiators" made it pretty f'n clear US strategy has zero to do with regular Iranians or democratic ideals πŸ˜‘ "The administration’s apparent lack of interest in the Iranian opposition adds a layer of surreality to the video that Trump posted early Saturday morning."

So many of us warned that Donald Trump is a dangerous, reckless pathological liar who can’t be trusted except to take actions that enrich himself and save his own skin. This war will not distract us from demanding he be held accountable for his Epstein involvement & violations of our Constitution.

We Will Not Be Divided Employees of Google and OpenAI stand together to refuse the Department of War's demands to use AI models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous killing without human oversight.

Google and OpenAI employees sign open letter in β€˜solidarity’ with Anthropic Employees from Google and OpenAI are standing by Anthropic in an open letter.

The news today is too fast and too much to digest but one thing I feel compelled to act upon is pulling my data from ChatGPT now that it is in bed with the Pentagon. Interesting to see the employees take a stand despite the horrible decisions of the execs www.engadget.com/ai/google-an...

Trump had no choice but to act. The Iranians were just weeks away from obtaining the missing Epstein files.

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trump’s tariffs himself.

A firm headed by Lutnick’s sons was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event tariffs were struck down. trib.al/JcwQ9MT

The NY Times dutifully reporting that the Supreme Court sided with Trump only 42% of the time and with Biden 54% of the time sort of leaves out the necessary context that Biden was doing normal, completely legal presidential stuff, and Trump was doing insane crimes
