Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"
The Telegraph: China is secretly supplying Russia with drone parts worth at least £47 million, including engines, microchips, and carbon fiber, despite its claims of neutrality. These components, which are critically important for Russia’s drone war in Ukraine, come from nearly 100 Chinese
If the U.S. military isn't going to release details on the justification for killing 11 civilians in a civilian boat who weren't posing a threat to anyone, then we have to conclude the "justification" is: the U.S. military is willing to kill civilians to give Trump social media content.

Still thinking about how the TikTok video that supposedly “inspired” the August 31 March for Australia tucked footage from the 2005 Cronulla race riots in between AI clips of Australian flags. I matched this to ABC footage from the day. The message was there from the start, if you cared to see it.

While we can’t share details to safeguard privacy, what we heard today from survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s decades of abuse was horrifying. As the youngest woman in Congress, I’m committed to protecting the next generation of girls. We demand the full files, names, and answers.

First we had the Murray, then multiple incidents in SA, and now the Swan river in Perth has “mysterious” mass fish kills. FFS; it’s time for our national leaders to wake up. We’re shitting in our own nest and wondering where that awful smell is coming from
Can we start calling them the Impeachment Five? I really think we should.🤷♀️
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

I've seen ABC refer to the Nazi rallies as "anti mass immigration rallies" over and over, exactly what Nazis want labelled as, legitimising them. In contrast, not once have I heard the Palestine rallies called anti-genocide or anti-colonial. I wonder what that's about 🙄

@normornstein.bsky.social's excellent idea: impeachment proceedings against horrific Cabinet members "who are causing death and destruction, threatening human lives and safety, destroying the rule of law and undermining US national security." Starting with RFK Jr., Gabbard, Hegseth, Bondi and Noem.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
Trump turns up the threats and intimidation on his Epstein cover up.
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
