Last Notes npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump flew out of Turkey on Wednesday night on the old #AirForceOne instead of his new #Qatar - donated Boeing 747-8 as a security precaution related to the resumption of hostilities with #Iran, according to people briefed on the plans, who said the change came at the urging of the #SecretService. The swap deepens questions about Trump’s rushed retrofitting of the new plane. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Is it a Luna Moth? npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex According to the dispatch audio, a call went out at 8:36 a.m. for an “unconscious” person at McConnell’s address, and an ambulance was sent with an advanced life support crew. Six minutes later a medic radioed that CPR was “in progress.” At 8:43 a.m., a dispatcher relayed the emergency as a “cardiac arrest.” #MitchMcConnell is named nowhere in the recording, though the address is his. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #MitchMcConnell was admitted to the hospital on the morning of June 14, according to a statement from his office that said that he was “receiving excellent care.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Sen. #MitchMcConnell has spent 3 weeks in the hospital, & his office still will not say what sent the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican there, his latest condition or when he might return. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Seriously, if #Trump will #cheat at #football / #soccer, his #midterms shenanigans are a gonna be #criminal. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The 2025 disclosure includes $635 million in royalties from a license agreement with #CelebrationCoins; at least $525 million in proceeds from token sales by #WorldLibertyFinancial, a #crypto project founded by #Trump & sons; $65 million in proceeds from World Liberty Financial’s equity sale; & $196 million in net proceeds from a stablecoin transaction.
npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex In his 2024 financial disclosure, filed a year ago, #Trump reported earning >$600 million in total income. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex So much for the foreign & domestic #emoluments clauses… npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex 🚨🚨🚨 npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The statements mark the first time the Republican admin has offered specifics for when & how the #ReflectingPool may have been damaged after work on the project was substantially completed. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The police report indicates damage to the pool, “including a caulk over the foam sealant that was cut with a sharp knife or razor & destruction of delaminating surface material,” Lands said. About 70 fence post tops also were thrown into the #ReflectingPool, he said. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The agency reported the June 9 incident to US #ParkPolice, said Frank Lands, deputy director of operations for the #NPS. Lands made the statement in a court document filed late Wednesday as part of a lawsuit filed by a nonprofit organization to halt the #Trump admin’s work on the project. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Yeah right. Don’t believe the #Trumpaganda npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Ruling from the bench on Wednesday, Failla, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, provisionally certified a class comprised of individuals who had received care from a #NYC provider over the past 6 years. She also issued a temporary restraining order that bars investigators from obtaining the records, including through a grand jury subpoena that had been issued to NYU Langone Hospitals in recent weeks. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The ruling from US District Judge Katherine Polk Failla is a significant blow to the #Trump admin’s ongoing nationwide criminal investigation into the provision of #gender #identity care, which numerous courts around the country have viewed as an improper fishing expedition because the government has struggled to identify any potential crimes by providers. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Judge blocks #Trump admin from getting #MedicalRecords of minors who received #gender identity care at #NYC #hospitals npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #DOJ “is not conducting a criminal investigation,” the judge wrote, “but is instead using the grand jury process for other (unlawful) purposes.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The subpoenas were served in January as part of an investigation into whether Gov #TimWalz & other officials obstructed or impeded law enforcement during a sweeping #immigration operation in the #Minneapolis – #StPaul area. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex A federal judge has blocked an attempt by the #Trump admin to subpoena #Minnesota Gov #TimWalz & other #state officials, calling it an effort to “harass & retaliate against them.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Next up 2 baby #PineSquirrels [aka #AmericanRedSquirrel] playing like it’s 1999. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #TLcleanse npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Yes! npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex 🤬🤬🤬 npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Dragonfly alit on hydrangea leaf. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump was loudly booed at Madison Square Garden [#MSG] during the #NBA Finals. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Yes please! So embarrassing. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The fact that #Pulte will serve in an acting role, meaning he won’t face senators for a #confirmation hearing, could give him a freer hand in focusing on priorities #Trump cares about, including “looking for” “evidence” that his #2020election loss stemmed from “fraud”. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex On paper, the #DNI, a role created after the Sept 11 terrorist attacks, is among the most #powerful of cabinet positions, responsible for coordinating the work of the #CIA & a host of other #intelligence agencies. But #Trump has never seen it as an important role, his advisers have said previously, & in his first term, he believed the staff working for that office were leaking information about him. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Pulte has NO known background in #intelligence, #military or #NationalSecurity, but he is a #Trump #loyalist who has been among the most aggressive advocates for prosecuting Democrats & others perceived by Trump as having crossed him.… npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Oh my god. This is the guy who created those failed BS mortgage fraud cases against Trump critics. He didn’t have the experience for that job & he sure as shit doesn’t have the experience for this npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex So effing pathetic npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex If the case makes it to #SCOTUS, it will be the first major test of the high court’s new standard for challenging congressional maps. The lower court judges made clear that they had reviewed the arguments through the lens of the Supreme Court’s #VotingRightsAct ruling last month but maintained that the state’s map failed under the new standard by intentionally discriminating against #Black voters. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The ruling further confuses the electoral landscape across the #South, as #Republican-led legislatures have raced to implement new district lines after #SCOTUS narrowed the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. It also demonstrates how the ruling from the nation’s highest court has further muddled how lower courts interpret the landmark #CivilRights #law. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Alabama’s AG, Steve Marshall, said he would immediately appeal to #SCOTUS, which last month ruled that a #Louisiana congressional map drawn to create 2 majority-#Black House districts was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Gov Kay Ivey, a Republican, has already set special primaries in August in 4 #House districts that would be affected by her state’s new congressional map. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Court Rejects #Alabama #House Map, Calling It Unfair to #Black Voters npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Thursday’s vote by the Commission of “Fine Arts”, whose job is to vet the design of monuments & other major projects in the capital, represents a key approval as the #Trump White House seeks to begin construction. Another panel that oversees federal #construction projects, the National Capital #Planning Commission, is set to review the proposed design for the #arch June 4. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Grrrr npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Gee, ya don’t say … npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex No. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Nice work if you can get it… npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex This is a FOREVER thing! npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Also, during today’s testimony in front of #Congress, Acting Attorney General npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The above NYT reporting is a #GiftArticle, but here is AP’s report: npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex It is unclear if that examination has concluded or if #Trump, his family members or affiliated entities are under other audits. #IRS procedures call for the mandatory audit of the president’s tax returns annually. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Neither the #DOJ nor the IRS responded to requests seeking comment. The top lawyer at the #Treasury, Brian Morrissey, resigned on Monday after the DOJ announced the settlement with #Trump. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex [This is effing nuts. We KNOW #Trump cheated on his #taxes. Just look at the NY v #TrumpOrganization lawsuit where he was found liable for decades of #fraud.] npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Umm… say what now??? npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #JamieRaskin also says, if #Democrats take back one or both chambers of #Congress, they will shut down this crazy illegal #MAGA slush fund, & use #oversight power to compel release of a list of any / all payments made between now & 2027. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump & his lawyers “are figuring out a way to refund the January 6 militia, presumably to get them ready for the next round of battle," says #JamieRaskin in this prescient piece: npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex “Never in the history of the United States has a sitting president sought a monetary settlement from the government he leads — let alone sought many billions of dollars in taxpayer funds,” lawyers for the lawmakers wrote. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Just minutes after Trump’s lawyers informed Judge Williams of their intention to dismiss the suit, 93 Democratic lawmakers filed court papers accusing the #DOJ having “colluded” with #Trump & asking the judge to throw out the case herself [TYVM]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The fund would represent not only a highly unorthodox resolution but also a further demonstration of the admin’s eagerness to reward allies who before #Trump came to #power were investigated & in many cases charged & #convicted. Most notably, Trump on his first day back in office pardoned or commuted the sentences of supporters who violently attacked the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Acting AG #ToddBlanche said in announcing the fund in a statement that it was “a lawful [nope] process for victims of lawfare & weaponization to be heard & seek redress.” npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex So freaking illegal. There was literally no one representing the American people. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex I think you can either just close ❎ that page or keep scrolling down & you can read the article without creating an account. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The Sunday gathering was organized by #Freedom250, a private group established by the #Trump admin that is using a so-far #undisclosed amount of #FederalFunding—along with #corporate money from sponsors including #UnitedAirlines, #ExxonMobil, #JohnDeere, #LockheedMartin, #MasterCard, #Oracle & #Palantir—to stage events. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex ICYMI A prayer festival backed by #Trump took place in DC yesterday. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The substance of Trump’s suit stems from the leak of his tax returns to The New York Times in 2019. #Trump, 2 of his sons & his family business argue that the #IRS should have done more to prevent a former contractor from leaking tax information to The Times & ProPublica. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Judge Williams had ordered the #DOJ, which has yet to make an appearance or filing in the case, & #Trump’s lawyers to brief her by Wednesday to explain whether they were actually in opposition — or were colluding to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. [oh, they are definitely colluding] npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The decision to dismiss the suit could also allow #Trump & the #DOJ to avoid a potentially embarrassing ruling from Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida finding that Trump’s suit was invalid. #Judge Williams has considered dismissing Trump’s suit because he effectively controls both his personal lawyers bringing the complaint & the government lawyers who are supposed to respond to it. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The move comes after the White House floated a proposal to end the lawsuit in exchange for creating a $1.7 billion fund to compensate supporters of #Trump who felt they had been mistreated by Democratic admins [what?]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Ending his #IRS lawsuit could allow #Trump to pursue a #settlement instead [he’d likely lose the lawsuit, he might get $$ from a settlement]. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The costs are ballooning from Trump’s renovation, re-decoration & building spree in Washington, DC, & at the White House. He goes on social media posting frenzies that often focus on his pet projects, gripes & personal triumphs, including a 22-year-old newspaper review of his TV show, “The Apprentice.” But perhaps the most striking example came Tuesday, when #Trump was asked whether the economic hardship Americans are feeling would motivate him to make a deal to end the #war. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex But in recent weeks, as Americans feel deep economic strain from the #war he launched in #Iran, Trump’s actions & words have opened him up to accusations that he is either out of touch with — or indifferent to — the lives of everyday Americans. [why not both?] npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump Remarks Reveal a [Callous] #Billionaire Out of Touch npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #WHO said that a laboratory-confirmed case has also been reported in #Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, which is about 1,000 km (620 mi) from the #outbreak’s epicenter in the eastern province of Ituri, suggesting a possible wider spread. It said the patient had visited Ituri & that other suspected cases have also been reported in North Kivu province, which is one of Congo’s most populous & borders Ituri. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #WorldHealthOrganization declared the #Ebola disease #outbreak caused by a rare virus in #Congo & neighboring #Uganda a #PublicHealth emergency of #international concern on Sunday, after more than 300 suspected cases & 88 deaths. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Yet another entry from the“you’ve got to be shitting me” files: npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex …His senior role at #HHS places him in charge of offices responsible for #FamilyPlanning, #WomensHealth, #InfectiousDisease policy & the US #PublicHealth Service Commissioned Corps, the uniformed health service of >5,000 public health officers who work across the federal government & deploy during public health emergencies. As head of the Public Health Service, Christine also serves as a four-star admiral in charge of the uniformed service. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex In comments made on a podcast he hosted while running for Alabama state Senate in 2022, Christine questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex He once hosted a YouTube show called “Erection Connection,” a professional YouTube series on erectile dysfunction for fellow urologists. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Before he joined the #Trump admin last year, Christine was an Alabama-based urologist who specialized in penile implants. He has little #PublicHealth experience & a history of #FarRight commentary & promoting #ConspiracyTheories. He’s said the #Covid pandemic led to a wider government plot to control people, compared the Biden administration to Nazi Germany & suggested the Covid #vaccine had little effect in stopping the #pandemic. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex No joke npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #SaudiArabia launched numerous, unpublicized strikes on #Iran in retaliation for attacks carried out in the kingdom during the #MiddleEast war started by #Trump, 2 Western ofcls briefed on the matter & 2 Iranian ofcls said. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex “This latest desecration of the reflecting pool is part of a pattern … in which this Administration willfully disregards #legal limits established by #Congress,” the Cultural Landscape Foundation wrote in its filing.
npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex “A blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park,” Birnbaum said in a statement. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The foundation also wrote that the Commission of Fine Arts, a federal agency that advises on design projects related to the capital, has been involved with past changes to the #ReflectingPool but did not review the new #Trump project. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The Cultural Landscape Foundation, an education & advocacy organization, filed its lawsuit in the US District Court for DC.

Experts who reviewed The Post’s analysis said the damage at the sites suggested that the US military had underestimated Iran’s targeting abilities, not adapted sufficiently to modern drone warfare & left some bases under-protected. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex …Satellite imagery of the #MiddleEast is unusually difficult to acquire at present. 2 of the largest commercial providers, Vantor & Planet, have complied with requests from the #US govt—their biggest customer—to limit, delay or indefinitely withhold the publication of imagery of the region [#censorship] while the #war is ongoing, making it difficult or impossible to assess #Iran’s counterstrikes. Those restrictions began less than 2 weeks into the war. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The threat of air attacks rendered some of the #US bases in the region too dangerous to staff at normal levels, & commanders moved most of the personnel from these sites out of the range of Iranian fire at the start of the #war, ofcls said. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at #US #military sites across the #MiddleEast since the #war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft & key radar, communications & air defense equipment, acc/to a WaPo analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the #Trump admin or previously reported. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Iran has hit far more #US military assets than reported [or admitted to by the #Trump admin], satellite images show npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #GiftArticle npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Apparently, it’s Attack-Free-Speech-Day on the #Trump admin’s calendar; welcome to the #FascistStatesOfAmerica npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #DOJ filed a remarkable motion late Monday, written in Trump’s recognizable online voice, explicitly linking the #security breach at the #WHCD to the lawsuit over Trump’s #ballroom project. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex “Adopting Trump’s Voice” [IOW #Trump dictated the DOJ’s filing] #Justice Department Asks Judge to Let #Ballroom Proceed npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex lol npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #DOJ Targets Hundreds of #Citizens in New Push for #Denaturalization npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #Trump is going after the people who expose #DomesticTerrorism operations. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex When Samuel Samson, a snr adviser at the #State Dept, sat down privately with #FarRight German lawmakers in an office just steps from the White House, he was breaking with history. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The 27-Year-Old Diplomat Waging Trump’s #CultureWar With Europe npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex Don’t believe the hype npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #FDA regulators agreed with the panel, saying later that the substances “present significant safety risks,” because most have not been extensively tested in humans. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex …Under President #Biden, the #FDA added more than a dozen of the most popular peptides to the federal list of substances that should not be produced by compounding pharmacies — businesses that mix medications that aren’t available from drugmakers. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex The #FDA said in a federal notice Wednesday it will ask a panel of outside pharmacy “advisers” to review 7 peptides at a July meeting, specifically whether to remove them from a restrictive category reserved for risky, customized drugs. npub1z6yad6ztjsvfu5zrhtawa96wte5kk3mj7g8e4uaj0qx9yf373uqsedqah3 Nonilex #RFKJr has discussed using peptides for his own injuries.
