JD Vance saw US protestors in Nantucket carry a giant banner with the Bald Vance meme and signs that said "go hump a couch".

NYT's @julianbarnes.bsky.social nailed it this morning: "Hegseth and his staff have made clear they believe the role of the press is to cheer the military and President Trump, rather than to report objectively about the news."

Early intelligence suggests Iran's uranium largely intact, European officials say. Preliminary assessments suggest Tehran was able to move much of its stockpile Henry Foy in Brussels and Andrew England in London Published 57 MINUTES AGO

Preliminary intelligence assessments provided to European governments indicate that Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile remains largely intact following US strikes on its main nuclear sites, two officials have said. The people said the intelligence suggested that Iran's stockpile of 408kg of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels was not concentrated in Fordow, one of its two main enrichment sites, at the time of last weekend's attack. It had been distributed to various other locations, the assessments found. The findings call into question US President Donald Trump's assertion that the bombing had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear programme. In an apparent reference to Fordow, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Thursday: "Nothing was taken out of [the] facility. Would take too long, too dangerous, and very heavy and hard to move!"

The people said EU governments were still awaiting a full intelligence report on the extent of the damage to Fordow, which was built deep beneath a mountain near the holy city of Qom, and that one initial report suggested "extensive damages, but not full structural destruction". Iranian officials have suggested the enriched uranium stockpile was moved before the US bombing of the plant, which came after days of Israeli strikes on the country. The US used bunker-buster bombs to attack Fordow and Natanz, Iran's other main uranium enrichment facility, on Sunday. It fired cruise missiles at a third site, Isfahan, which was used in the fuel conversion cycle and for storage. Trump has dismissed a provisional American intelligence assessment, leaked to US media, that said Iran's nuclear programme had been set back by only a matter of months.

The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said this week that it had assessed that US and Israeli strikes had "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years". But experts have warned that if Tehran has retained its stockpile of enriched uranium and set up advance centrifuges at hidden sites, it could still have the capacity to produce the fissile material required for a weapon. Rafael Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told French Radio on Thursday that Iran's nuclear programme had "suffered enormous damage", though he said claims of its complete destruction were overblown. Iran insists its programme is for peaceful civilian purposes.

Below is most of the FT’s newly published story. Iran’s uranium survives.

In short, Trump’s “successful” mission results in:

- location of Iran’s uranium now unknown
- Iran terminates co-operation with UN nuclear watchdog
- Iran is most likely accelerating all efforts to now secure the bomb.

NEW: Iran’s National Security Council says the US base in Qatar has been “destroyed”.

A laughable claim.

But don’t laugh too loud. US media lapped up Trump’s claim that Iran’s nuclear facilities had been “completely obliterated”.

Here, the before & after photos of Fordow, Iran. A laughable claim.

"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength" - 1984

The national flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran, featuring three horizontal bands of green (top), white (middle), and red (bottom). In the center of the white band is a red emblem symbolizing “Allah,” stylized to resemble a tulip and a sword. Along the borders of the green and red bands is the repeated phrase “Allahu Akbar” (“God is Great”) written in stylized Kufic script 22 times.

1. A reminder: this is the flag of the regime, not the flag of Iran.

This is the same regime that named its most powerful military force the “Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” — with no mention of Iran at all.

It’s okay. People only care about the price of eggs.

Trump’s ICE is NOT going to care that these young men are in uniform when federal agents go to detain their mother.

What a travesty that these wonderful young men who are serving our country have to accompany their mother to her immigration hearing.

I think Green Day summed it up well.

They wear no ID. There is nothing to indicate they are federal agents. The photo is a credit to Ramez Naam who posted it on X

If your country’s police starts looking like this you are extraordinarily fucked.

The only appropriate response is a civil uprising.

#AbolishICE

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.
