ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve
WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question
WARSH: I believe this body certified the election
WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?

These two widely shared images claiming to show the IDF restoring a statue of Jesus that was previously damaged by an Israeli soldier near Debl, Lebanon, are AI-generated and fake.
A Google SynthID check finds watermarks that suggest both images were made with Google AI.
This is nothing new. Palestinian Christians are in Gaza and West Bank. Israel occupies them, implements apartheid policies, and bombs their churches.

This is an illegal occupation under international law and destroying part of the cultural heritage of the people under occupation is a war crime.

What happened to the combined $63 million that Paramount, Meta, X, and ABC paid to the ‘Trump Presidential Library’ fund after surrendering? It just kinda disappeared. newrepublic.com/article/2092...

Russia’s theory relied on attrition.
Mass over precision.
Time over technology.
That model is eroding.
Losses rise. Breakthroughs stall.
Meanwhile Ukraine compresses kill chains with drones, targeting logistics, armor, and command nodes at scale.
3/3
The decisive variable is not manpower.
It is systems.
If Ukraine achieves sustained drone dominance, Russia’s numerical advantage becomes irrelevant.
This is no longer a static war.
....It is an accelerating one.

Ukraine is no longer fighting for survival alone.
It is shaping a path to win.
Drone scaling, adaptive tactics, and industrial output are shifting the balance faster than most Western analysis admits.

Moulton: "Trump is negotiating from behind with a team of completely amateur negotiators"
In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.
Abusers often tell you their abuse is in your best interest
Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion.
Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.
NEW: IRGC Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi and members of his inner circle have likely secured at least temporary control over not only Iran’s military response in this conflict but also Iran’s negotiating position and approach within the past 48 hours.

According to video recordings, when a ship tries to pass through the strait of Hormuz, Iranian navy says: “The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We will open it by the order of our leader Imam Khamenei, not by the tweets of some idiot.”

Quidnet Reit structure chart showing its corporate shareholders: Tisun One Ltd Tisun Two Ltd Tisun Three Ltd Tisun Four Ltd
Normal companies pay corporation tax. So, when they pay dividends, their corporate shareholders don't pay tax again. The dividends are exempt.
REITs are different. They don't pay corporation tax. So dividends received by Tisun One, Two, Three, Four were not exempt.
What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received. What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.
Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions

New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump Rape Accuser, 13

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h
Despite Trump's whining, Judge Richard Leon’s order allows him to continue below-ground construction, including work related to national security facilities. So he isn't stalled on his bomb shelter, just the way too big, badly planned and ugly, above ground ballroom.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.
