NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

NSA's whistleblower report is about contacts between foreign intelligence and someone close to Trump. Instead of acting on this information to protect the United States, Gabbard tipped off the White House and squashed an internal investigation to protect Trump.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do…

Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money.

And this parade helped nobody.

Iran has nukes is the 2020s version of Iraq has WMDs in 2000s.

Stop letting propaganda slogans convince you to let wealthy elites send our young men and women to war.

We need justice and diplomacy, not fear and destruction.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

NGC 6565 looks to me like a miniature Ring Nebula. I'm rather fond of these nebulas with rather rainbow-like gradients from blue in the center to red at the perimeter.

I made an effort to reduce the size of the stars which would otherwise be bright green due to the green channel being f555w.

Red: hst_08773_01_wfpc2_f658n_pc_sci
Green: hst_07501_01_wfpc2_f555w_pc_sci
Blue: hst_08773_01_wfpc2_f502n_pc_sci

North is NOT up, it's 45° clockwise from up

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

They're arresting Members of Congress.

Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order.

Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.

But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

I just declared a peacetime emergency to ensure we’re providing every possible resource for those fighting the wildfires in Minnesota.

As fires remain active up north, I’m grateful for the tireless work and coordinated response of those on the frontlines.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
