NEW: More questions about the long-term effects of GLP-1 weight loss drugs as new research finds people with higher muscle mass showed less brain ageing.

Many users of GLP-1s such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro shed muscle mass at the same time as they lose fat.

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail).

Behold "The Fall of Icarus."

The Sun eclipsed by Earth as seen by the returning Apollo 12 crew. This colorization of a B&W photo suggests how a composite made from different exposures might have appeared if they hadn't run out of color Hasselblad film. Hopefully one day this sight will be captured with capable color cameras.

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy."

- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff

This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike.

It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests.

Hilarious to see Trump aide Steve Witkoff coach Yuri Ushakov, the top foreign policy aide to Putin, on how to butter up the perpetually praise-needy, Donald Trump. They all know he’s a thirsty pushover if given enough false flattery.

The national security adviser is supposed to oversee policy coordination. The secretary of State is supposed to lead on diplomatic negotiations. In theory, neither would be the clean-up crew, because they’re supposed to prevent the mess from happening in the first place.

As always, Drudge shows how the press would cover Trump if Trump were a Democrat and/or they weren't afraid of him.

"Men, we all know FDR does many unconstitutional things and you swore an oath to the Constitution.”

If this guy is implying Roosevelt put them in that position, he conveniently ignores the fact that the only reason Roosevelt could do that was due to Congress having declared war on Nazi Germany.
this is their understanding of sedition in the context of lawful/unlawful orders

“Each video is 24 hours long.”

Oh, remember how we were told earlier this year that the one hour video gap during the night of Epstein’s death was due to a nightly backup?
Bureau personnel also reviewed videos. According to an April 15 email, one of the videos was from the New York City jail where Epstein was found dead a month after his arrest in 2019 on sex trafficking charges. (The DOJ publicly released 11 hours of the prison video in July.)

Now you know why I went all Sickos Guy…the FBI spent tons of your taxpayer $ going through the Epstein files to protect you know who.

The President intends to tell the US military to murder US civilians, and is using the FBI to threaten anyone who wants to stop him.
The FBI has requested interviews with Democrats who appeared in a controversial video reminding U.S. service members of their duty to disobey unlawful orders, deepening the Trump administration’s campaign to punish some of its fiercest critics.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:
