Decades of mismanagement has left the city of Tehran without WATER. The situation is dire. Without running water the city’s sanitation system is failing. No drinking water, no water for bathing.
The government is planning to ABANDON Tehran.

Iran’s unrest is escalating. In Abadan, security forces reportedly refused to disperse protesters and instead joined them. The Times reports that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing a contingency plan to flee with his family to Moscow if the situation spirals out of control.

Did Trump choose to build a Triumphal Arch because it is an extravagance with no public utility whatsoever?
Is it a potlatch-style monument to his power to waste time, money and resources needed elsewhere? As an insult?
The only triumph Trump can really celebrate is his own over the rule of law.

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

🧵Spotted at a Country Summer Fete in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (5?) is strutting ahead of his sister announcing loudly to the universe: "I AM THE FRONT MAN!"
Little Sister (3?) stops in her tracks.
Little Sister looks OUTRAGED!
Little Sister roars: "NO! I want to be the FRONT MAN!" (1)

The sexism is real. She's not just "Maduro's wife." She is the former attorney general of Venezuela. She's not just "the vice president" of Venezuela. She has been the VP for 7 years and has functioned as the head of the military and the intelligence forces. These women aren't afterthoughts.

The Peregrine falcon is the fastest animal in the world, with speeds up to 240 MPH.
And it isn't even close to how fast MAGA went from "America First!" to "We should run Venezuela".

Trump: "We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security. And Denmark is not gonna be able to do it ... the EU needs us to have it"
