I am hearing from multiple sources that the EU Commission is announcing its first DSA fine tomorrow against X on ad transparency, blue check & dark pattern, and researcher access to data.
The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."
Elon about to get big mad.

The only reason this administration cares about the “threat of censorship”coming from Europe is because tech is literally paying them to take up this fight so they can avoid fines like this.

"The focus on the second strike and the nuances of the law of armed conflict could end up being a favor to the Trump administration."
Indeed. The "first tap" was just as unlawful, and far more troubling.

Not only depraved but deeply corrosive to fundamental norms in the military that took generations to inculcate--especially the once-sacrosanct understanding that targeting civilians is forbidden.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announces another boat strike in response to a request/wish from Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet.

It's very important, yet difficult, to separate old despicable shit from new despicable shit. "It's totally fine for gerrymandering to be overly political to disenfranchise a political minority" is relatively old despicable shit.

SOUTHCOM announces another boat strike.
Notable that the Pentagon carried out this strike on the same day that Adm. Bradley appeared before members of Congress to defend the Sep. 2 strike.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
