Covering sessions daily at the Commission on the Status of Women this week, one question keeps coming up for me:
How can responsible media better amplify the institutions trying to address global crises?
Too often we are not meeting the moment — we are being entertained by it.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & @DrTed...• 6h
Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.
According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.
That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.

The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.

Every single oil executive in the entire world must be having the same slow, horrible realization that led Rex Tillerson to eventually snap and call Trump a "fucking moron".

Centcom commander touts use of AI in fight against Iran during Operation Epic Fury AI tools have helped the U.S. military during Operation Epic Fury against Iran, according to the commander overseeing the war effort.

I find it odd that the US is touting the use of AI in Iran AND blaming a "targeting error" for bombing the shit out of a girls' school, and no one in the media seems to be asking the obvious question.

Ossoff: "Trump has a problem with every side of his coalition ... they see this guy and his family raking in billions from all over the world while the cost of living crisis in America gets worse. It's infuriating people, and not just Democrats."

I’m sure Trump anticipated all this and has a great plan because he’s a master strategist.

I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.

There is a reason every other president refused Bibi’s invitation to start a regional war. Trump was the only one dumb enough to take the bait.

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s “the right of the people,” not of citizens.

We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I think my favorite quote of the day was Mike Johnson saying that Markwayne Mullin taking over DHS was going to save Republican candidates in the midterms. Dude just needs to keep strategizing exactly like that from now until Nov.

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

By the way, if this is true, it means Noem potentially lied under oath, or alternatively was so uninterested in the day-to-day operations of DHS that she had no clue (but that would be surprising given that the winner was a firm she’d used before.

The right wing is really knives out for Noem.
