An outspoken vaccine conspiracy theorist just fired every last member of CDC's vaccine advisory committee. RFK Jr. is paving the way to reshape vaccine policy based not on decades of science, but on his own unhinged fanaticism. This is unprecedented, and unthinkably dangerous.

The Lebanese Government claims to have disarmed 500 Hezbollah weapons depots in southern Lebanon. Israel’s slamdunk defeat of Hezbollah has given Lebanon a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to mop up Hezbollah and become a real sovereign country again.

Do any Trump voters regret their choice? Our Strength In Numbers/Verasight polling data finds a large chunk of 2024 Trump voters do. And when 2024 non-voters were able to cast ballots in a hypothetical do-over, Trump loses to Harris in our poll. link in next tweet

Tonight, Russia damaged a world architectural monument - St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. This temple was built in the 11th century during Kyivan Rus and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Let me remind you that the Moscow state arose much later.

Russia launched 821 drones and missiles at Ukraine in 2 days. Ukraine shot down 763. That’s unbelievable 92%. To out it in perspective, in September of 2024, Russia launched 1410 drones in an entire month. The war definitely has been escalating and far from a stalemate. 1/

"Political elites and warmongers are carelessly fomenting tensions between nuclear powers." Are the warmongers and tension-fomenters the Russian elites who started an unprovoked war and keep threatening to nuke people? No? How very surprising.

New from me: Protests against ICE deportations that have engulfed San Francisco’s streets this week took an antisemitic turn when Manny’s, a local Jewish-owned event space, had its windows smashed and walls defaced with slurs including “Die Zio.” jewishinsider.com/2025/06/anti-i…

Breaking news: The Trump administration is planning a major increase of deportations to Guantánamo, including citizens of Britain, France and other allies. Officials said they are unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the transfers. wapo.st/4e3sfss

There’s one of those Israeli OSINT accounts I’ve followed for most of the past 20 months. Not always reliable, but sometimes useful info ahead of regular media reports. But since it’s turned to outright support for Trump’s military crackdown on protestors, it was time to unfollow

When asked today if California Gov. Gavin Newsom should face legal consequences given the ongoing protests in Los Angeles, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) said he couldn’t comment on that but suggested the governor "ought to be tarred and feathered." hubs.ly/Q03rz_Hr0

A metric is only as good as what can be measured, and what’s included in its calculation. The response here from the one who devised this metric is reasonable.
