🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Israel’s next strike plan reportedly goes after Iran’s power plants and water facilities... and Iran has every reason to answer in kind. Retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar says the US pulling assets out of Al Udeid points to another round of escalation, one where both sides stop holding back on civilian infrastructure: “We’re about to enter the phase of total war where power plants, desalination facilities, power generation, civil infrastructure bases, headquarters, those type of things are going to be struck harder.” Every water plant on Israel’s list puts one across the Gulf in Iran’s crosshairs too.

🇮🇳 An elephant carrying a 650kg shrine PANICKED during a Hindu festival in India and charged through the streets The animal was leading a procession in Shivamogga when it got agitated and threw the heavy shrine off its back. Crowds ran as it damaged vehicles and buildings before officials sedated it. It's not easy to calm down such a big animal once it feels disturbed 😬 Writer: Lucas t.co/zZE34cKnfM

🇺🇸 Trump says he feels ENERGETIC as if he is 40: "Are there any seniors in this room? I don't happen to be a senior. I'm in my 40s. I feel the same way! I hope that lasts a long time!" Don’t you guys bring up those clips of him nodding off in meetings. Just don’t 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/D1BVLE4mvd

🇺🇸🇸🇴 CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS MOMENT: Ilhan Omar has the SAME LAST NAME AS HER BROTHER! OH MY! Probably a few other relatives too! He takes the worst of the baseless rumors and just runs with them in the most disgusting way. Oh, and I don’t think the Speaker of the House can unilaterally remove a sitting member of Congress. That would take a 2/3 supermajority. Writer: Jamie t.co/nENfwSCYS6

🇺🇸 Philip Pilkington says America’s financial system is more fragile than it looks. His key point: foreign money isn’t mainly propping up U.S. government debt anymore. It’s flowing into stocks, especially AI. Pilkington thinks that matters because valuations are now extremely stretched. If the AI trade breaks, one of the biggest supports for the dollar could break with it. And in a real flight to safety, he doesn’t think investors will automatically run to Treasuries. He thinks they run to gold. @philippilk

🇺🇸 Bro! Brooklyn doesn’t FW ISIS! This lady is about to find out! She’s the first woman in the U.S. to go on trial after becoming an ISIS bride at 18. Prosecutors say she received training from the group, and a video of her holding an AK-47 in her husband’s Syrian home was introduced as evidence. I’m not saying the woman is innocent… but I’m still curious about what crime she committed. In America, holding a gun is your right under the Second Amendment, with a few caveats. She also claimed that her father, an ISIS supporter killed in a U.S. airstrike, sold her to her husband for $5,000. That’s a tough case legally. Writer: Jamie t.co/HKwI1IUOk7

🇺🇸 Rep. Pramila Jayapal RUSHED to defend a man who TACKLED an ICE officer, calling the agency “rogue militia” Funny enough she cut out that last part of the video… The Washington Democrat posted that a U.S. citizen was assaulted by officers in Long Beach and demanded Congress cut their funding. ICE released the full footage showing the man clearly tackling an officer to the ground. She defended him before the video came out, but the clip doesn’t match the story she told 🥶 Writer: Lucas t.co/cVGw7RhjLu

🇬🇧Defence Sec Wes Streeting: “We want to get the country ready.” The UK government launched a "Be Ready" campaign, urging citizens to download a checklist and stockpile survival supplies for cyber attacks and extreme weather Confronted over fears the move will trigger mass panic buying, Streeting pointed to rising floods, wildfires, and critical IT security flaws like the recent PHP coding vulnerability. National defence has collapsed into your kitchen cupboard… Writer: Bri t.co/XPMfeZtYhX

🇺🇸 Meghan Markle’s father investigated for child pornography! Thomas Markle Sr., 82, faces a probe by Philippine authorities and the FBI after his son Thomas Jr., allegedly turned him in for possessing a MASSIVE collection of child sexual abuse material. Thomas Jr. claims he uncovered hundreds, if not THOUSANDS, of photos and videos at his father’s home in Cebu, Philippines. It includes videos of girls no older than 10 or 11 engaged in sexual acts, as well as a 15-minute video of naked girls on his father’s old cellphone. Can this man sink any lower?! 😡 Writer: Bri t.co/ua82AAfAww

🇵🇸🇮🇱 I don’t know about you… But visiting an illegal settlement “tourist paradise” filled with a bunch of unemployed people having children like wild rabbits is not quite at the top of my destination list.

PHP powers much of the web, and two critical flaws just forced governments to tell sites to patch or go offline. The bugs allow remote code execution without login. AI helped researchers uncover flaws that had gone undetected for years. Japan issued a late-night warning, and some ministries and banks took pages down. No major breaches are confirmed. Meanwhile, an Indian certificate company used keys as weak as the number 4, and GitLab disclosed a perfect 10.0 vulnerability dating back to 2014. The internet keeps proving how fragile it is.

If UK finances crack, he thinks London may have no choice but to unload part of its huge U.S. Treasury holdings. Then comes contagion. France’s heavy private debt is deeply connected to European banks and the City of London, which is exactly how financial stress can jump borders fast. And Pilkington’s bigger claim is even more interesting: He thinks the old “flight to safety” into Treasuries may be weakening. The new safe haven, in his view, is gold. @philippilk

🇺🇸 Maine voted 75% to ban superPACs and the case is now one appeals ruling from a shot at the Supreme Court... the lawyer who argued down Trump's tariffs is carrying it The target is a 2010 lower court decision called SpeechNow, which is what created superPACs two months after Citizens United, and that distinction is the whole case. Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig says it lets the justices keep Citizens United intact and still kill unlimited money: "You can say Citizens United was completely correctly decided, but nothing in Citizens United means we have to have superPACs." Billionaires went from 0.3% of outside money in 2010 to 19% in 2024, and the first Trump voter Lessig met in Maine signed the petition and spent the day signing up every Trump voter who walked past, so if the First Circuit moves fast, 2028 could be the first election without them. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 Passengers are SWITCHING to United just to get Starlink on the plane!! United CEO Scott Kirby says people who stuck with the same airline for years are now booking United solely because of the Wi-Fi. Roughly half of United’s daily flights already have it, more than every other U.S. carrier combined, and the airline is installing it on about 20 planes a week. Starlink is already changing how people pick flights. Once it’s the standard, the difference is going to feel even bigger 🔥 @Starlink / Writer: Lucas t.co/9HGi9qG1g3

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: BOTTLES LAUNCHED AT BIBI, LITERALLY! Someone chucked a glass bottle at Netanyahu’s convoy earlier this evening. They’re still looking for the person responsible, but I'm sure it was either Hamas, Iran, or someone who thought he was at a ship christening. Writer: Jamie t.co/zl0a56eYEg

🇬🇧🇺🇸 Philip Pilkington thinks Britain could become the next major pressure point in the bond crisis. His concern: the UK is a large buyer of U.S. Treasuries. If Britain itself falls into a serious financial crisis, those purchases could weaken just when America needs them most. He sees Britain as one of the weakest links in the chain, with France another possible trigger. And if stress spreads through Europe, that could feed directly back into the U.S. Treasury market. That’s the part worth watching. America’s bond problem may not start in America. @philippilk

🇩🇪🇸🇪🇬🇧 Germany is shopping for a new fighter jet partner, and it has 2 offers Its own defense officials want to build the jet with Sweden and Spain, while Britain’s prime minister wants Germany to join the UK’s project with Italy and Japan. Germany needs a new partner because its jet project with France fell apart in June, after years of fighting between their companies. Advice papers inside Germany’s defense ministry say Sweden and Spain are the better bet, since those countries need the same kind of jet and Germany would get a fairer share of the work. They also take a swipe at Britain’s top defense company, BAE Systems, saying it didn’t treat Germany as an equal partner the last time they built a jet together. Nothing’s decided yet, and Germany’s defense minister hasn’t backed either option. And after how things ended with France, you can see why Berlin is taking its time.

🇺🇸 Anti-ICE students at Florida’s biggest university get OVERPOWERED by a counter-chant! Roughly 50 people gathered outside the admin building, asking campus police to scrap their deal with ICE. Conservatives showed up and started yelling “deport Sneako,” so loudly the original group got drowned out. On a campus of 55,000, that turnout speaks for itself 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/woj20yygjV

🔥🇯🇵 Not every racist trope used in America has the same meaning and applies in other countries… and for all the traveling that Kai Cenat has done, he should know that. Instead, he's out there trying to throw hands with a straight-up ninja! They call it a language barrier for a reason, and I don’t think this Japanese guy intended to be rude. I do respect his bow and apology at the end, though! Writer: Jamie t.co/iCcH7hR7m4

🇵🇸Palestinians continue to be STARVED as food aid RUNS DRY The UN World Food Programme stripped 500,000 people of food assistance practically overnight. Funding shortfalls forced monthly assistance down from 1.6 million residents to 1.1 million. Rations were SLASHED and daily hot meal distribution collapsed for displaced families.

Who’s doing the marketing for the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 game? Seriously, C.R.E.A.M. is the best you could come up with? Let me guess… You tried M.O.I.S.T. but couldn’t make it work? That is not a good song name for this game. Writer: Jamie t.co/CCSX8u7Un9
