What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vacci...

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines.

The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.

Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

Pentagon plan expands oversight of Stars and Stripes, limits content The plan puts barriers on the use of wire service content and prohibits information that is not “consistent with good order and discipline.”

🗞️I spent the best 11 yrs. of my journalism career at Stars and Stripes. As an editorially independent newspaper that covers the troops for the troops, it is the most important paper in the U.S. and wholly American at our best.
Those troops are losing their most honest advocate, and are worse for it.

Look, Trump had no choice but to fuck up the global economy. He had to stop the imminent release of more evidence that he sexually abused children.

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Messily.

Iran isn’t just going to quit fighting, especially after Kharg Island. Israel is planning a massive ground invasion into Lebanon.

Welcome to the regional war we all feared when they started talking about attacking Iran.

The biggest thing that is giving me hope right now is that pretty much everyone with a functioning brain can see that the emperor is naked.

He’s even losing some of his previously hardcore MAGA supporters, surprisingly.

The GOP is absolutely panicking about the midterms, and they should be.

hey do you think the $100,000 donation from a man named patrick byrne is the former CEO of overstock dot com? the email on that donation has a "haverford group" domain and belongs to an "S Van Winter," and shannon van winter is the treasurer at byrne's personal foundation so i'm thinking yes?

Honestly, I suspect even Israel probably doesn't achieve anything, because I suspect Iran will get a clearer run at a bomb out of this and in the long term, the US-Israeli security partnership is imperiled.

Just a massive set of unforced errors.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?
