Huh. All four US astronauts coming back early because of medical emergency, NASA not saying which astronaut or what the problem is.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Yes, ICE is a Gestapo-like police force compromised largely of white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in traditional law enforcement. But so many of the anti-ICE people I talk to are like the worst wine moms . I have never felt more politically homeless.

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X?
I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday
Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets
34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs
3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
