Good to see MAGA people admitting that Tulsi works for the Russians
EXCLUSIVE: ๐Ÿšจ @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To โ€œResignโ€ As DNI ๐Ÿšจ In her โ€œUkrainian Bio labโ€ document โ€œdeclassificationโ€ release this week, Iโ€™ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbardโ€™s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Hereโ€™s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.โ€ฆ Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the USโ€™s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbardโ€™s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/upโ€ฆ Gabbardโ€™s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Letโ€™s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their โ€œintelโ€ and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

In maga-ville conspiracies are already bubbling up around the rapid degrowth of algae in the reflecting pool.
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸšจHas the REFLECTING POOL been Sabotaged by subversives? Or is it because it is a really shallow pool in really hot weather? Maybe some run off from some fertilizer put on the grass? Not sure if there were fish or other microbes in there eating the algae prior. If it goes on like this it's going to be a mosquito apocalypse soon. I wonder how many gallons of bleach we need to keep this thing clear? Are there any pool guys out there that would like to weigh in on this? Leave comments below.

Musk became Donald Trump's #1 political donor, assumed a high-profile role early in his administration, and in that role inflicted incredible harm on some of the most vulnerable people in the world while failing to achieve any of his stated goals. slowboring.com/p/yes-doge-faโ€ฆ

Trump and his sycophants simply can't stand the light of day. Missing the federal court order Friday deadline (blaming storm risk), Trump's flunkies erected a screen overnight so the public can't watch his name being removed from the The Kennedy Center facade.

1. Wake Me Up Martha depicts an unlikely morning when someone wakes up, scrolls the news, and sees nothing but good things. "Pundits weren't yelling; even swear that some agreed!" He decides to toss his phone and check out the real world. 2. Good News from 2044 tries, in a fun way, to foresee a reasonably sane political future and how weโ€™d get there. As a journalist, I've written on threats to digital tech from solar storms and what might happen if "A.I. fried, satellites died." I've also written about the importance of community cohesion. This all came together in a wacky envisioning of a presidential election in 2044 with two surprising candidates. 3. Prayer and a Toast describes how an affectionate dog and a rainbow lead to a new way to get through tough times - with a prayer in the morning and a toast at night. 4. New MacDonald reboots the cheery childhood classic for the modern age - depicting how financial pressures create deadly pressures on family farms. 5. The Flood recounts an all-too-familiar tale when communities grow in areas prone to natural hazards as with flash flooding in the Rockies. 6. Save Dreams for Sleeping is a call to action - asking us to stop wishing for change and take on the unifying work needed to build a โ€œmore perfect union.โ€ 7. Long Short Story is built on a profoundly eloquent reflection my self-educated immigrant grandfather made in his final year of life. 8. Where Will You Be is an inspirational call to check your goals amid the rush of daily life to make sure youโ€™re holding firm to the values that will matter most โ€œwhen your race is all run.โ€ 9. Do Not Fear Tomorrow is a love song for moments of deep uncertainty. โ€œWhen things are going well, that's when she worries.โ€ 10. Nibbling Ducks centers on a phrase my dad used to utter when he was being overwhelmed with pesky chores. He was being โ€œnibbled to death by ducks.โ€ 11. Skeptic in Heaven playfully asks what it would be like for a skeptic (like me) to end up in Heaven and find it โ€œreally is a paradise.โ€ 12. Good Souls emerged when I couldnโ€™t find a song for moments - all too common as one ages - when good people, those quietly helping to maintain the fabric of a community, pass before their time. I wanted a tribute that went beyond toasting and offered a commitment to carry on that work. 13. Life is a Band describes how a solo singer-songwriter happens upon a weekly potluck jamboree and realizes the best music, and communities, emerge through collaboration.
So my new album, "Wake Me up Martha," has made the top albums and top artists charts for radio play in May - for #folkmusic radio. Have a listen below. Tied with @joancbaez ๐Ÿ™ #songwriter

Governor Abbott closed out his speech at the Texas GOP convention with a live elephant. It then peed on the floor as it left the room. The perfect metaphor for the Texas Republican Party.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

Just had a great radio day for my songs (via @Spinitron). I take my #songwriting seriously - the fun tunes, the haunting ones, and the calls to action. Have a listen this weekend and ping your favorite #folkmusic DJs. Here's a fun clip from "Good News from 2044" for good measure!

In my song Good News from 2044, I sing about a weirdly normal presidential election that year and muse on how that happened: "That change didnโ€™t happen on its own. Sun let out a flare and all our circuits were blown. A.I. fried. satellites died, People had to live without a telephone...."
Replying to @krassenstein
Facebook is down in Maine. Maybe the great shutdown is under way and it'll save us from ourselves? As I sing on Good News from 2044 on my new album: Donโ€™t know how I got here, 2044. Somehow the world avoided nuclear war. Somehow the climate didnโ€™t go to hell. Somehow the Constitution never fell. Candidates for president are on the stump. โ€ฆSasha Obama and Barron Trump. And thatโ€™s not the weirdest thing I have to relate. Theyโ€™re both kind of sane and talkinโ€™ pretty straight. That change didnโ€™t happen on its own. Sun let out a flare and all our circuits were blown. A.I. fried. satellites died, People had to live without a telephone. Donโ€™t know how I got here, 2044. Somehow the world avoided nuclear war. revkin.substack.com/t/andy-mโ€ฆ

It's hard to overstate how remarkably the @CopernicusECMWF C3S models have escalated their forecasts for El Niรฑo. For example, the 6-month Niรฑo3.4 warming ending Sep-Nov is expected to far exceed 1997 - and 1997 was previously an outlier by this metric.
