Burglaries, surveillance, state-actor-level phone hacking. Havana Syndrome victims returned home, only to be targeted in a campaign of intimidation that the FBI and CIA seemed to have little interest in solving. New from @JackMurphyRGR and me: thehighside.substack.com/p/l…

It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.
JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m starting to think he doesn’t like Black people.
Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty. James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history. Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired. The wall is still empty.

This is her pattern. Release documents, make claims about what they say that even a cursory read will disprove, knowing that the audience won't bother. If you believe this, the joke's on you.
Incredible. Publishing what appears to be (if you care to read the "evidence") a totally legitimate US program, and even citing the risks of these being used as "Russian information campaigns", Tulsi Gabbard - the gift that kept giving - presents the Kremlin with yet one more information operation. Read our investigation from 2025 where we presented evidence that the hybrid ops unit of GRU's 29155 came up with the whole "bio-labs" concept - and co-opted Tulsi into it. theins.press/en/inv/281731

Referee Omar Artan being banned from entering a World Cup country is a stain on this tournament. Freedom of movement was the lowest bar and still it failed. Column. ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/omar-artan…

Hosting the World Cup or any Fifa tournament has generally involved a guarantee of freedom of movement for all participating teams and staff. Note how it simply wasn’t an issue at recent World Cups It is scandalous it has got to this
This weekend’s issues with visas over Iran and related stories reveal something else about the Infantino-Trump relationship that weighs over this World Cup - despite the cozying, the Trump administration have helped Fifa with almost nothing independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

In this photo are two brothers who took part together in the D-Day landings in Normandy 82 years ago. Today, one is 104 years old, and the other is 102. On June 6, the world marked the 82nd anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy—an operation that became a turning point in World War II. It was then that the Allies opened the long-awaited Western Front in Europe. On the first day alone, more than 150,000 troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the shores of France. The opening of this front forced Nazi Germany to fight simultaneously in the east and the west. Less than a year later, Berlin fell, and the war in Europe came to an end. The men in the photo are brothers Hubert Terrell and L.K. Terrell. On D-Day, both played a role in liberating Europe from Nazism—one fought on the ground, the other in the skies. Under enemy fire, L.K. Terrell crawled across the beach and destroyed two German machine-gun nests with hand grenades. He later recalled that he had learned to throw accurately long before the war while often playing ball with a local baseball player. His brother Hubert served as a paratrooper and reconnaissance operative. Thanks to his fluency in French, Spanish, and Italian, he carried out five secret missions in occupied France, working with the French Resistance and gathering valuable intelligence for the upcoming Allied invasion. Eighty-two years later, they are still standing side by side. Two boys from Louisiana who became part of history.

NEW: The main U.S. air war command center in the Middle East suffered a direct hit soon after the war with Iran began and was severely damaged, sources tell Air & Space Forces Magazine. The Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar was hit by Iranian missiles. A secondary facility in South Carolina filled the gap. airandspaceforces.com/us-air…

Phenomenal detail from @FT obituary of the great Alex Younger, from @charles_clover & @JP_Rathbone: When Dominic Cummings called him for the first time, he asked Younger what he was doing. “Plotting evil shit,” Younger replied. ft.com/content/59c9aab3-efa1…

Really fascinated by some of details starting to emerge about WSO from downed F-15E
Meanwhile, the weapon systems officer who was shot down with him over Iran survived some sort of parachute failure after ejecting.
