Icymi👇 AFRICOM reported late last night that the US conducted multiple airstrikes in Somalia on 25 July. But only on AFRICOM's website. Not on Twitter. Not on BlueSky. Only on AFRICOM's website.👇 africom.mil/pressrelease/359…

AFRICOM has since changed their reporting of this to a single airstrike instead of its reported multiple airstrikes. Idk why AFRICOM was confused by the number of airstrikes, but this isn't the first time they've changed their reporting. africom.mil/pressrelease/359…

Burlison on talk of a pardon for Maxwell. “I think it would be a mistake. At the end of the day she committed heinous acts, that I think that it would be a disservice to her victims were she to not have to serve her sentence.”

New - GOP Rep. Eric Burlison says it’s been a “political mistake” and “misstep” over how administration has handled Epstein files “You only fan the flames of conspiracy unless you demonstrate you’re trying to get the information released.” Would be “mistake” to pardon Maxwell

Easy! Because there wasn't a corrupt Deputy Attorney General willing to promise a pardon or commutation to help whitewash Trump!

I’d love it if someone could explain why if Ghislaine Maxwell had information that could have reduced her sentence for child sex trafficking she didn’t provide that information BEFORE she was prosecuted, convicted and given a lengthy prison sentence

In the past 25 years, renewable energy has received about $350B in direct and indirect subsidies. In the same period of time, fossil fuels have received $2.5T in indirect and direct subsidies. Dumbest president in American history.

His insane obsessions - windmills, toilet flushes, shower pressure - get not even 1% of the coverage, or mental health discussions, as Joe Biden’s verbal gaffes and frailty did.

Trump: And the other thing I say to Europe: we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They're killing us. They're killing the beauty of our scenery. Our beautiful plains. I’m not talking about airplanes… they won’t let you bury the propellers.

It's fairly normal for @SpeakerJohnson to just assume that adjudged liars will change their ways if it'll help Donald Trump cover up for something.

I can't decide whether Trump rolled out @SenMullin bc he knows he's too stupid to understand these details, or he's the only one willing to lie to cover up Trump's sex trafficking problem. But he literally said last week he's covering for Trump.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Remember, there was a sweetheart plea deal that was struck in 2009, way before Trump was even considering to be in office, under the Obama administration TAPPER: No. It was 2008. The US attorney at the time was a guy named Alex Acosta. He was a Bush appointee. He went on to become Trump's secretary of labor MULLIN: Who was in office at the time? TAPPER: George W Bush MULLIN: No. 2009 was when the case came out, and Obama was in office at the time TAPPER: Not true

Here's the gist: the IDF is still using food as a weapon. Today, the IDF announced daily “humanitarian pauses” and resumed airdrops of aid into Gaza. But this doesn’t mark a policy shift, just a new phase in the same twisted logic of control through aid🧵

I post about the US airstrikes in Somalia because they ARE news! If the US conducted an airstrike in Yemen, that would make the news. If the US conducted an airstrike in Colombia, that would make the news. US airstrikes in Africa don't get reported as news. Why is that?

How the Air Force is paying to refurbish Trump's "free" Air Force One is tied up in a mysterious, $934 million transfer of funds from one of the Pentagon’s most over-budget, out-of-control projects w/@SangerNYT nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/po…

What Will It Cost to Renovate the ‘Free’ Air Force One? Don’t Ask. (Published 2025)

To hide the cost of renovating the plane Qatar donated to President Trump, the Air Force appears to have tucked it inside an over-budget, behind-schedule nuclear modernization program.
