@michellelprice @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan While we’re stereotyping, I’d point out that Indians (e.,g., Usha Vance) also live gold, but that matters not because neither Vance nor that cocksucker Rubio have a snowball’s chance in hell of ever occupying the Ival Office.
English
New @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan book describes how, after Trump redecorated the Oval Office to fill it with gold flourishes, someone asked the president about the likelihood that the next president would undo all that he done. Trump said: “Cubans love gold.”

The algae are willing to retreat from the Reflecting Pool in exchange for a $300 billion reconstruction fund paid for by America’s regional partners.

@mattyglesias The last "non advanced" reactor built in the US cost 18 billion dollars. So it didn't solve any problems. If advanced reactors can't bring costs way down nuclear energy is a goner.
English
It’s possible that advanced reactors will just never pan out but if they did, it would solve all kinds of problems.

DOGE did a ton of terrible stuff but if NRC reform works it will benefit many more people than “Silicon Valley-backed advanced reactor firms” — abundant clean energy would be really good for the whole world!

Seth Cohen—the DOGE official who was a driving force behind much of the Trump admin's nuclear energy policy—resigned. He was one of the key figures reshaping the regulatory environment to benefit Silicon Valley-backed advanced reactor firms. x.com/OverReactor177…

@BulwarkOnline Juneteenth observes the liberation of slaves under the Emancipation Declaration. This only applied to states that had seceeded and fought the Union. Several slave states did not seceed and maintained slavery (Kentucky, Delaware e.g.). Those slaves were only freed by the 13th.
English
"Juneteenth isn’t a holiday that fits into the cartoonishly whitewashed Trumpist view of American history...[The Trump Administration] spend[s] a good deal of time and effort weaponizing those fictions and turning them into grievances for their own political advantage."
Andrew Egger and Bill Kristol on why we should celebrate Juneteenth this year.

@Osinttechnical Looks like the ceasefire was Lebanon baloney.
English
A renewed ceasefire effort was put forward, but additional attacks by both sides have been reported in Lebanon over the past hour.

🚨A senior U.S. official tells me: Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a renewed ceasefire in Lebanon starting at 4pm Iocal time. The new agreement was brokered by the U.S. and Qatar after talks with Israel and Iran
English
Israeli forces struck over 150 sites in Lebanon today, straining the US-Iran peace deal.
Iran continues to insist on a permanent ceasefire in Lebanon before talks can continue, though Iranian officials deny that Hormuz has been closed again.
English
CNN report: The U.S. has conveyed a message to Iran stating that Israel will not escalate its attacks in Lebanon.
English
U.S. official tells me: "Netanyahu agreed 100% to renew the ceasefire in Lebanon". Netanyahu's office still hasn't confirmed that

BREAKING: LOL! Trump flies into a total panic over the Reflecting Pool algae as a leaked email reveals that his administration has labeled it a "national priority" and is scrambling to hire cleaners.
This has turned into one of his defining disasters...
According to an email obtained by MeidasTouch, National Park Service employees have been informed that "additional personnel" are being recruited to "assist immediately" with "critical pre-July 4th operational needs" at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
This new development is just the latest humiliation for Trump in this never-ending pool saga. First, he wasted $13 million "renovating" the pool in a desperate bid to shore up some kind of physical legacy for himself. Then, when disgusting green algae bloomed in the pool, he sent in workers to vacuum up the growth. When that failed, he had his minions dump hydrogen peroxide in, which only resulted in more discoloration.
With his big July 4th celebrations just around the corner, he's desperate to fix the problem. The email explains that workers are needed for 12-hour shifts performing “scrubbing and pump out operations." It describes the problem as a "regional and national priority."
Yet again, we see Trump focusing on something that doesn't matter at all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and gas. There has never been a more checked out, lazy, out-of-touch President.
On top of that, this is another reminder of this man's staggering incompetence. He made a huge deal out of cleaning up and beautifying the pool and now he can't even manage that.
Please ❤️ and share if you're loving this algae!

Trump: "In war, terrible things happen. Like you mentioned the school gets hit. Other things get hit. Bad things happen in war. War is a nasty place. I see it. I see it better than maybe anybody has ever seen it."

NEW: President Trump lost. The war he waged against Iran promises to conclude this week in a humbling whimper
And the United States is now left weaker—diminished militarily, strategically, economically, and perhaps morally theatlantic.com/national-secur…
English
@marcthiessen Would probably need more than 100000 troops given IRGC alone is 150000, then add in regular military forces. Sight of foreign troops on Iranian soil would coalesce population behind regime. That's what happened in Iran-Iraq war. Would be a tough slog.
English
This is a complete straw man. There is NO ONE on the right advocating sending hundreds of thousands of troops into Iran.

By his own metrics stated in Feb, at the war's beginning, Trump has humiliatingly lost this war of choice with Iran. Iran won by regime surviving with its uranium -- and gained the bonus of de facto control of Hormuz. America now has its own Suez. Dammit!

See what is going on? From Europe to Washington, our leaders’ weakness, gullibility, narcissism, ideology, short-sightedness and lack of moral compass are making us putty in the hands of Tehran. In this historic game of chess, the West is being quietly outflanked.

Trump ending up shitting on Israel was literally the most predictable thing that has ever happened.

President Trump on Israel and Hezbollah: "Israel is fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed." "You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody. There are a lot of people in those apartment houses and they're not all Hezbollah." "I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah." On Israel striking Hezbollah in Beirut: "I did not like that, I let them know that." Says the attack was "too much." "If Israel can't do the job without killing everyone else, he'll do the job, Syria will do the job." "Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon." "I'm not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon, and with Hezbollah." "Israel would have been blown up a long time ago, had I not gotten involved."
