Iran’s neighbors have spent decades preparing for a potential attack. But the ferocity of Tehran’s retaliation has left both governments and people of the region stunned.
NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.
Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.
Countries that are imperialist and aggressive in their foreign policy do not remain liberal democracies in their domestic policy.
Our story on how the Pentagon misread the situation with Anthropic. They thought they would fold under the strong-arm tactic. Instead, Anthropic is seeing a boom of support from other AI companies and their own employees.

Anthropic's lawyers are going to have Hegseth's lunch money. This is going to be brutal.

Oh my golly. Being a Trump appointment says a lot what he will be doing.
This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.
We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.
Q: "Do you have to refund $175 billion?"
Trump: "They take months and months to write an opinion and they don't even discuss that point…I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years."
Q: "You don't plan to honor refunds?"
Trump: "I just told you the answer."
A federal judge ripped into the Justice Department on Friday for failing to inform him of the applicability of a law intended to protect journalists from government searches and seizures when it asked him for permission to raid a Washington Post reporter’s home earlier this year.
A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, taken in a classroom or lecture setting. She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like I¹²⁹, Cr⁵², and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.
Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972.
She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?)

From Cindy Gonzalez:
Black-and-white portrait of Dr. Jane C. Wright (1919–2013), pioneering Black surgeon, oncologist, and "mother of chemotherapy," seated at a laboratory workbench in a clinical research setting. She wears a white lab coat over a dark top and gazes directly at the camera with a composed, focused expression. In front of her is a large compound microscope with multiple objective lenses, adjustment knobs, and a stage, positioned prominently in the foreground. Her left hand rests near an open notebook or lab record book on the table, while stacks of papers or slides are visible nearby. The background shows softly blurred lab equipment and shelving, evoking a mid-20th-century medical research environment.
"Mother of Chemotherapy" Dr. Jane Wright died #OTD in 2013.

"Of people booked into ICE custody since October 1, 2025, 73 percent had no criminal conviction, and only 8 percent had a violent or property criminal conviction." You would not know that if you listen to Tricia McLaughlin. That and other lies:
Is it any wonder why so many people have given up on the system?
