After more than 10 months at sea, thousands of sailors Thursday poured out of the USS Lincoln on San Diego Bay to thunderous cheers, streaming tears and emotional hugs. https://to.pbs.org/4B18U6g

A study of 21 connected vehicles found widespread communication with third-party advertising and analytic companies.

Regime change! OK, no regime change. Unconditional surrender! OK, no surrender. Nuclear deal! OK, no nuclear deal. But we control Hormuz! OK, we don’t control Hormuz. But we’re squeezing them economically into concessions! OK, no concessions. But maybe a future president can get something, IDK.

Exit polls on Sunday projected that the far-right Alternative for Germany party would finish first in a state election. But it was not clear whether it would win a majority — which would propel a far-right party into power for the first time since World War II. Follow live updates.

Our neighbor, Mexico, seems to care about the food their people eat. Wish that were so here.

Appears to be real actual post from a branch of government.

Before Europeans arrived, these were some of the names for The Great Lakes: Superior: gichi-gami (great sea) Erie: erielhonan (long tail) Michigan: michigami (long body of water) Ontario: Ontarí'io\kanadario (great lake\beautiful water) Huron: karegnondi (fresh water sea)

The Pentagon has never received a passing grade on a comprehensive financial audit. One thing is clear: Vast sums are funneled into costly weapon systems that chronically come in over budget.

When the U.S.-Iran war began, more than 1,000 dependents of U.S. Navy personnel in Bahrain were ordered to evacuate. After six months in temporary conditions, they want to know what the plan is. n.pr/4xZVuEX

Proud to announce that New York City has registered a record 4,200 New Yorkers in our doula care program.  Pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing moments. No one should be forced to navigate them alone.

Authorities said the raging fire was human-caused but didn’t provide additional details on how it was started.

So our friends now are North Korea and Russia and our enemies are Canada and Denmark. Makes sense.

The new test promises to be “minimally invasive” and can help doctors identify symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease earlier.

And where's the over $13 billion in oil revenue they collected? Official transparency trackers in Caracas show that only about $300 million (roughly 2%) has actually reached the Venezuelan economy, leaving the rest unaccounted for or held in dispute.

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches. From @caolanrob.bsky.social

From now on, Canadians will refer to the United States as Epstein Island.

The central problem with Chief Justice Roberts’s Friday afternoon “administrative” stay in the White House ballroom case isn’t just the lack of any clear standards for such relief; it’s that it’s hard to see how, *whatever* the standards are, this case could satisfy them. Me in today’s “One First”:

Huge step by Arizona to get money out of politics 💸 Arizona Supreme Court "parted ways with the U.S. Supreme Court’s analysis in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, concluding that corporate campaign contributions are not a form of protected expression under the state constitution"

If Jensen Huang has time to attend a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago and fly across the world to meet with President Xi Jinping, he can find time to testify in front of Congress about reports that NVIDIA technology is powering Russia’s war machine.

DHS allegedly went undercover at community meetings, subpoenaed the financial records of labor unions, and created dossiers on people at a church gathering, according to court filings. n.pr/45O0uAD

BREAKING MS NOW: Darline Graham just refused to say whether she would have certified the 2020 election results.

In a country so deeply divided, isn't it nice to have something we can ALL agree on? #ReleaseTheFiles-BeginTheTrials ⚖️

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Most evacuees have been allowed to return to their homes near burn zones in Spokane, despite concerns about lingering toxins. n.pr/4y0vgCq

Leader Jefferies didn’t meet with Jared Kushner to make nice. And Jeffries made damn sure there was no misunderstanding: NO ONE GETS A PASS. “If you’re stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people, you’re going to be held accountable.“

The Trump administration is preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the United States. n.pr/4zwqYnP

National Guard members are speaking out about Trump’s DC deployment. One called the mission embarrassing. Another put it even more plainly: “The Guard is being exploited.”

Huge blazes in central and western regions of Indonesia have scorched wide areas of forests and peatland, creating a choking haze that blanketed some cities. n.pr/3SQABxe

Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

The Senate returns from recess Monday, nearly a month after McConnell was hospitalized on June 14.

He doesn’t care if he loses the election because he plans to steal it if he can. He can’t!

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

If it were fake news, you could have just let the IRS audit run its course and then we'd all see it was fake, but instead you rushed in like Leeroy Jenkins and demanded everything be shut down immediately? Sure, sure, that makes sense, sure.

I can't believe we still have to remind people of these things but: most rape victims don't file police reports. (You're reading one right now.) Shock, denial, need to appease the rapist, nominally friendly behavior toward the rapist, etc. are all common reactions
