❗️Wow.. Ukraine appears to have pushed its drone campaign deeper into Russia than ever before. Russian officials reported a drone attack on Novy Urengoy in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, roughly 2,500 km (!!) from Ukraine. Authorities claimed falling drone debris caused a fire at an industrial facility, with no casualties reported. One possible target is Gazprom's Novy Urengoy condensate processing facility, which has a designed processing capacity of 19.5 million tonnes per year. #Russia

Iran fired 20 missiles at Jordan and the US may have burned up to 100 Patriot interceptors defending it, roughly 5 to 10 percent of remaining stock in one night. That's the actual story here, not whether Trump can spin this as winning while Brent crude creeps toward $100 a barrel.

Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Spineless Speaker Johnson and House Republicans are canceling the final two weeks of September and leaving D.C. until after the midterms (to block another Epstein files bill for Trump)

Republican 2026 Midterm Slogan: “Drive Less and Drink Less Coffee to ease the pain of Trump’s stupid war and trade war”

The heirs to Hitler's Nazi party have almost captured a German state for the first time since WW2 and the first thing they did was thank Elon Musk 😞

Please, even if this seems a really tiny thing, stop using Twitter/X, stop linking to Twitter/X, stop doing anything that gives Twitter/X accounts visibility of any kind. Tell others to leave, especially organisations and media. He is using Twitter/X to promote actual full-on fascism by manipulating media discourse, and simply being there or sending traffic there helps him do that.

I really thought this was a fake tweet from Trump.

He’s bragging about profiting off the presidency and his followers are clapping like obedient seals.

Pathetic.

I agree! #SickPolitics

Arrest, seize assets, convict, imprison

" A 12-year-old in California built a working printer for blind readers out of a Lego robot kit for his school science fair, after finding that the machines sold for the job cost about $2,000; the parts in his version came to roughly $350 in shops

A twelve-year-old just proved that assistive technology doesn't need to cost thousands when ingenuity and a Lego kit can do the job for under four hundred dollars."

CSPAN has won the award for Closed Caption of the Year.

“The man was found to be carrying two pistols and a Taser after he was detained…”

“Asked about the man’s intent, the sheriff said: “I think it was to ask her a couple of questions. He was just, you know, pretty aggressive about it.” (Sheriff Greene has endorsed Dr. Acton’s Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, in the governor’s race.)”

Right, Sheriff. Sounds like he just wanted to ask some questions.

Moron.
