Tropical Storm Bret forms in the deep tropics https://abc13.com/hurricane-season-tropical-weather-news-updates/13303907/

Rep. Swalwell posted this after watching an interview that was jaw-dropping. I can’t copy over the vid but suffice it to say, Swalwell tweet sums up 1 segment well:

“Well that’s that. #Trump just confessed to Fox…that he stole & shared classified materials.”

I saw a clip or 2 & “deranged” doesn’t even begin to describe #FlopsweatTrump’s word-slaw.

1 quote: “ Baier: Why not just hand them over? Trump: Bc I had boxes, I want to go through the boxes & get all my personal things” #ClusterFox

Chronic sexual misconduct in Canada’s military is a national security threat

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has a serious problem when it comes to sexual violence.

According to a recent report, the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM), an elite branch of the CAF, has exposed a troubling culture of reticence and double standards when it comes to addressing misconduct.

Bill Barr: Jack Smith will probably 'pull the trigger' and indict Trump for Jan. 6, too https://www.rawstory.com/bill-barr-jack-smith-will-probably-pull-the-trigger-and-indict-trump-for-january-6-too/

Tropical Storm Bret forms in Atlantic, with possible hurricane threat to Caribbean islands https://apnews.com/article/3304245c225db88e8cd408037ce20735

Tropical Storm #Bret set the record for furthest east developed tropical storm south of 23.5°N this early in #hurricane season.

Impressive, but note that the period of record for that region is only about 50 years because of a lack of data away from land.

Today is #Juneteenth in the United States, a day to celebrate independence for all Americans and reflect on the fact that democracy is participatory and hard won, and to exclude any group from its benefits is to degrade it for everyone:

@AlliFlowers A musician friend once quipped "Vivaldi only wrote one piece of music, but it was gorgeous!"

If you think you were fed misinformation on Covid and vaccines, you are right. Follow the scientific literature, not the politicians. However, anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. are telling far bigger and more dangerous lies than the politicians--definitely do not listen to them.

On the House Jan 6 Committee getting out ahead of DoJ, I thought it good strategy for the Committee to get everything out there with its investigation & public hearings in order to “condition” Americans to the prospect that a former president was behind the overthrow attempt & should be criminally charged. The media can write all the articles it wants, I still think this was an effective coordinated strategy.

No, it will become Bret, because there was an unnamed storm in January, so Bret is still unused and is the next name on the list.

This is the only Juneteenth article you need today. Also happy Juneteenth to all who accept and promote accurate American history. To everyone else: happy Monday. 😬 https://thegrio.com/2023/06/19/what-to-white-people-is-the-19th-of-june/

@GottaLaff @Teri_Kanefield

Agree with Kanfield’s post that this article boils down to “the J 6 investigation was handled as Garland said it would be — from the bottom up all the way to the higher-ups.” It’s the media that’s known to get out over its skis—fortunately the DoJ stayed patient. (Your sidelight about D’Antuonno pumping the brakes sounds like it bears further scrutiny.👀)

Our team capturing the Black cavalry reenacting Major General Gordon Granger’s arrival in Galveston on June 19, 1865 to tell the enslaved that they were free — 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was first issued. And a reminder that no one gives you your freedom; you take it. #Juneteenth
