Bloody Sunday

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

Come on out Yinzers.

The top prosecutor in Hennepin County, which includes Minneapolis, is pushing ahead on efforts to hold federal agents accountable for their actions during Operation Metro Surge.

Reporter Jeff Day explains the latest:

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

Ope

As some may say.

Wow thats a crazy overnight change btw.

Are you able to discern between AI-generated news audio and a human announcer? The Jordan Center for Journalism Advocacy & Innovation wants to find out. Give it a try and we'll reveal the results later this month: uofmississippi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This was predictable, and we did predict it last summer when the multiyear funding policy first emerged.

This is how we know this admin is coming after science as a whole. Health equity, transgender health, mRNA vaccines… these areas are just the start.

While wearing a shirt that says "It's never a war crime the first time."

Their intrigue into hate-filled movements is disturbing.

Its one thing to study them, but to bathe oneself in cultures of hate, discuss them happily as a hobby, and participate in acts celebrating their past is reprehensible.

Iran's $20,000 drone struck $1.1 billion US radar that helps Gulf nations intercept missiles? Why it matters An Iranian strike damaged the $1.1 billion US radar at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This is highlighting the cost asymmetry of the conflict, where cheap drones or missiles can threaten expensive missil...

This also doesn't account for Iran's drones

A drone is what hit the early warning radar system in Qatar (Block 5)

State Medicaid budgets will decline by $665 billion under new federal law, report finds • Stateline State Medicaid budgets will be reduced by a total of $665 billion over the next decade, after President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act cuts federal investment in the health insurance…

By 2034, Medicaid will have 7.6M fewer enrollees

AZ, IA and NV will see their Medicaid budgets reduced by more than 15%.

CA and NY will see Medicaid budgets drop by $112B and $63B, respectively

Meanwhile prices are high so this will end up making ruSSia money to use in their war against Ukraine.

So while ruSSia gives Iran intel to target US forces and assets, the US creates an opportunity for ruSSia to make even more money for its war machine.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

EXCLUSIVE: 'Camp East Montana will remain open': internal messages say Employees at Camp East Montana were told the massive detention center will remain open, internal messages obtained by the El Paso Times show.

Employees at Camp East Montana are being told that the massive detention Center in El Paso is not closing, internal messages obtained by the El Paso Times show.

My story:

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

Yes, the peace earned by committing war crimes is definitely a positive thing to brag about

Emails show Trump’s labor department struggling to deliver on H-2A ‘one-stop shop’ promise - Investigate Midwest Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer promised to cut red tape so they could access another: workers on temporary visas. It hasn’t gone according to plan.

Great reporting by @skychadde.bsky.social on the new immigration office created at DOL.

🚨 The longtime career staffer in charge was replaced by a political appointee who used to be a senior advisor to the director of ICE and served as policy director for the House Committee on Homeland Security.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

BUT its not a war

Inside the Trump administration’s scramble to support its own war One State Department official said too few people were read in on war plans.

"U.S. Central Command, meanwhile, is asking the Pentagon to send more military intelligence officers to its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days but likely through September, according to a notification obtained by POLITICO."

BUT its not a war

​"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The People: We don't want a war.
Congress: Dunno what to tell ya
Founders: Article I, Section 8?
Congress: Too Congress-y
Judiciary: War Powers Act?
Congress: POTUS said it's not a war. Few weeks max
