KERNEN: You're saying you need at least the prospect for a signed deal today or tomorrow or else you would resume bombing Iran?
TRUMP: Well, I expect to be bombing. The military is raring to go.
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.
He might as well answer in Russian.
Wow! Beautiful!
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Trump's job rating just hit its lowest point of his second term in NBC News polling:
37% of adults approve of Trump’s performance, 63% disapprove — including 50% who disapprove strongly
Two-thirds of respondents disapprove of Trump's handling of inflation and the Iran war
And nobody around Trump will show this to him
Day 473 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I'm not criticizing people who do use beauty products. I just am allergic to most makeup and by this point I am used to how I look and I prefer how I feel without it. I can't be bothered to put in the time to fiddle with such things-shop, apply, store..
Day 472 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): There actually are lots of things I DON'T spend money on, so no savings talk. E.g.: my personal care products are pretty simple: I don't wear makeup, paint my nails, or wear fancy accessories. & I wear my hair long so I only have to get it cut 2-3x/year
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
Impressive and fun!
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
Lies, snarling insults, shameless disinformation . . . what a wonderful menu of activities, Fox News is bequeathing the coming generations.
GOP Rep. Cory Mills avoided an arrest for an assault after one of Donald Trump's staunch allies in the Department of Justice intervened, according to a new report.
Day 471 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): But then I spent about $40 on chocolate bars. I LOVE chocolate, but don't want my consumption to be from slave/child labor (& prefer local/non-profit/organic) so I get expensive brands. My local natural foods store had a 1/2 price sale, so I stocked up!
Day 470 of Buy Nothing (from the broligarchs): I think have found the item I'm LEAST interested in buying this season. It's a cheap, ugly "250" flag w/ R/W/B letters, in a display of FIFA merchandise. Nope! - I am not supporting FIFA or DJT's mad July 4th schemes. He's even ruined patriotism!
Maybe a good day to reup this post from October.

In these cases nationally, my law firm is now 5-0 and DOJ is 0-5. Not sure how Harmeet is going to explain this to her "boss." www.democracydocket.com/cases/rhode-...
“It allows Congress to basically do a thumbs up or a thumbs down, where otherwise a filibuster would apply."
Republicans exploit an obscure law to open this pristine Minnesota wilderness to mining.
Alright, who made this?!! 😂🤣
