Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says the Alliance is now outproducing Russia in ammunition, a major shift from earlier in the war. He stressed the need to ramp up production and speed up deliveries, with dozens of new lines opening. Focus areas include air defense and low-cost drone interceptors.

Looks like an ammunition depot has been hit. Detonations and large secondary explosions are heard.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Money, muscles and anxiety: why the manosphere clicked with young men – a visual deep dive
The manosphere is known for misogyny, but that’s not the only thing that influencers in this space offer. Young men explain the allure and the problems of the manosphere in their own words
"Neoliberalism has led to an extremely alienated, atomised society. The emphasis is on you as the individual and your self-actualisation, you identifying your brand, your value-add. Leaving people feeling very alone, isolated, alienated, disconnected"

Steve Bannon says ‘there is a plan’ for Trump to be president in 2028
Former Trump advisor claims winning a third term could be easier than Trump’s previous electoral victories
Steve Bannon has confirmed that there is a secret plot afoot to end our democracy and install Trump as a permanent dictator.
If this were untrue, he’d be getting a visit from the FBI, as what he’s describing is a criminal conspiracy.
He won’t get an FBI visit.
