Election Records Handed Over to the FBI in Maricopa County, Arizona, Could Be Fatally Flawed, Experts Say Unlike in Fulton County, Georgia, where actual ballots were seized, a federal grand jury subpoenaed digital data related to a partisan audit of the county’s vote.

The firm hired by Senate Republican leaders to run the audit…The Cyber Ninjas…Was funded by and took direction from Trump allies…Its leader, Doug Logan, privately’gm admitted in text messages obtained by journalists via public records requests that its ballot recounts were “screwy.”

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Trump’s Iran Con Put Us in the Covid Before Times Again Trump started an unwinnable war. We know what comes next. We just haven’t felt it yet—the same way we hadn’t truly felt COVID in early March 2020.

The tankers have already stopped. The fertilizer is not loading. The oil price shock is priced in, and the food shock is 6 weeks behind it. The comfort of the Before Times—that the catastrophe is real but not yet yours—is the only comfort available now. Unfortunately, it has an expiration date.

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

Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as “an operational trigger” for “sleeper assets."

“The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.”

I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. 🤷‍♂️

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

He's literally trying to leave us open as possible to a terrorist attack so that he can declare a national emergency and seize control of voting systems across the country for 2026. Maybe even try to postpone the 2028 election

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

The White House is blocking the FBI and top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about new terror threats to the homeland tied to the war with Iran.

The skyline of Tehran has a small shaft of light to the west. But the rest is darkness, shrouded in black cloud from burning oil depots and refineries

The skyline of Tehran has a small shaft of light to the west. But the rest is darkness, shrouded in black cloud from burning oil depots and refineries

Daybreak brings only more night in Tehran. A city blackened by burning oil.

Hospitals, schools, aid centres, freshwater desalination plants and now fuel storage depots.

These are all the sites you would target if your wish was to perpetuate a genocide.

NEW: Watch this report just in from CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. It is raining oil in Tehran this morning.

A city of 10 million is being actively poisoned.

Also hitting desalination plants in Iran is very dangerous, but for its gulf neighbors, effects are orders of magnitude more catastrophic

Rep. Lieu calls for a new investigation into Epstein’s death after released documents show a prison guard responsible for checking on him deposited $5000 into her account 10 days before his death and googled him right before he was found.

HOLY SH*T:

Black rain is pouring down on Tehran, Iran following military strikes on their oil facilities last night.

Residents of Tehran are now reporting severe breathing issues.

Is this what "liberating the Iranian people" looks like?

This is the former foreign secretary of India, revealing that the Iranian ship we sunk had been invited for joint exercises by India and was unarmed, as required for that exercise. The United States always manages to find new ways to sink to unprecedented levels of mendacity and immorality.

I’m seeing a ton of this floating around.

It’s true, we’re bombing the hell out of Iran, but this war isn’t as one sided as they’d have you believe. In a week, the US has lost at least two (possibly more) AN/TPY-2 radar.

We have less than 15 of them and they take years to make.
