✅ Good news: The DOJ’s lawsuit in Alaska is bullshit, and they are going to lose. ❌ Bad news: The DOJ will try this again and again in state after state. “This is their strategy,” Marc Elias says. “This is their only hope.” Headlines tell you what happened. Follow us to know what it means.

Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption. So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷

X posted a Russian deepfake about @SherrodBrown that went out to about 3 million people and falsely said he sexually assaulted women. @jamestalarico Corrections were seen by only a few thousand. Grok admits the story was a deepfake. So why doesn't X tell it's users? My new piece. 👇. @NewsGuardRating

So basically what everyone feared would happen is happening.
Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation. The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation. There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible. The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians. The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.

In just two years, @elonmusk has spent nearly a BILLION dollars to try to dominate U.S. elections for MAGA, demolished large parts of the federal workforce and gutted federal agencies investigating his companies, and undercut Ukraine's defense forces to aid and abet Putin’s filthy war of imperial aggression.   Now, he appears to have convinced Trump that his Nazi-curious chatbot Grok should help him shape U.S. foreign policy and military strategy. 1/3

Oh my god. This is quite literally extortion and Elon should be in jail for doing it.
NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell. When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract. @isaacstanbecker @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/national-sec…

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election. Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
