“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” Albert Einstein

Bold white text on blue space-like background reading " I *REALLY* want to understand how it became more plausible that vaccines are dangerous and regulations are all a plot of some evil cabal than the notion that greedy corporations would buy politicians and exploit workers or that taxing the rich isn't a socialist plot. Seriously. How does someone think researchers and those who've dedicated their lives to caring for patients are more sinister than super wealthy who just want to avoid having to pay taxes, protect workers, and mind environmental impacts of their profiteering? "
Aishvarya Kavi reporting from the National mall: It is a chaotic scene on the National Mall. Several hundred people have refused to leave despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching. Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing. Many have begun chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A." A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled. Many are not convinced. One man walking by blamed the situation on "liberals in the weather service," adding, "I think this is baloney."

Signed into law in 1964, only two months after Kennedy was assassinated, the legislation renamed what was first known as the National Cultural Center after a leader who had championed the performing arts. “The John E Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, designated by this Act,” the law read in part, “shall be the sole national memorial to the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy within the city of Washington and its environs.”

Screenshot from a new york time's article not linked "Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who recently broke with Mr. Trump, advocated using the 25th Amendment, telling CNN that threatening to destroy Iran’s civilization was “not tough rhetoric, it’s insanity.” Candace Owens, the far-right podcaster, called him “a genocidal lunatic.” Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and founder of Infowars, said Mr. Trump “does babble and sounds like the brain’s not doing too hot.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals, a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their race or gender. Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegseth are Black and two are women on a promotion list that consists of about three dozen officers, most of whom are white men, senior military officials said. Mr. Hegseth had been pressing senior Army leaders, including Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, military officials said. But Mr. Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, had repeatedly refused. Earlier this month, Mr. Hegseth broke the logjam by unilaterally striking the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the legal authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the White House, which is expected to send it to the Senate for final approval. A few female and Black officers remain on the list, military officials said. It is exceedingly rare that a one-star list draws such intense scrutiny from a defense secretary. The battle highlights the bitter rifts opened by Mr. Hegseth’s campaign to reverse policies that he says are prejudiced against white officers.

The Iranian regime has continued their pursuit of “death to America” through their continued development of nuclear weapons capable of striking America.

The sequence of events shows that Binance, the world’s largest venue for crypto trading, has continued to find evidence of potential legal violations on its platform, even after it pleaded guilty to breaking anti-money-laundering laws in 2023. At the time, the company pledged to crack down on bad actors who used its platform to move money, and said it had hired more than 60 employees with law enforcement or regulatory experience to address the problem. But internal warnings about the Iranian transactions surfaced last year, in the months before President Trump granted a pardon to Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao, who had spent four months in federal prison in 2024 for his role in the firm’s crimes. The Trump family’s crypto start-up, World Liberty Financial, has forged close business ties with Binance, and Mr. Zhao was a guest this month at a conference at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Fla. “Learned a lot,” Mr. Zhao posted on social media on Wednesday, along with a photo from the event.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Potential Shutdown · ICE, CBP are funded · FEM A has reserves · 95% of department would stay on the job
screenshot of a post on NYT website from NYT journalist Max Bearak reading: Ecuador’s foreign ministry said an ICE agent had tried to forcibly enter the country’s consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday, but employees blocked the agent. In videos posted on social media, one employee can be heard saying: “This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter.” The agent responds, “If you touch me, I’ll grab you.” The ministry said in a statement that a “note of protest had been lodged with the United States’ embassy in Ecuador so that acts of this nature don’t happen again.” The consulate has a clearly marked facade with Ecuador’s national seal. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment. Under international law, federal agents generally cannot enter a consulate or an embassy without the permission of the consul or ambassador.

Steve Simon, Minnesota’s secretary of state, said that he was outraged by a letter that Attorney General Pam Bondi sent Gov. Tim Walz following the shooting. The letter demanded reams of information, including voter records. “It is deeply disturbing that the U.S. Attorney General would make this unlawful request a part of an apparent ransom to pay for our state’s peace and security,” said Simon, a Democrat. The letter did not explicitly say the federal government would end its crackdown in exchange for the information. The Trump administration has sought access to voter rolls from Democratic states as it has asserted, without evidence, that election fraud is common.
Bovino ended the news conference by discouraging further interruptions to immigration operations. He compared disrupting ICE and Border Patrol agents to interrupting police who were stopping a bank robbery “That’s not a good idea in any fashion,” he said, adding: “We are after an individual with a very serious criminal record. We don’t need any help, thank you.”

Some residents of Southern California were under evacuation orders on Friday as an unusually strong storm system moved through the region, bringing with it a risk for flash flooding and landslides in areas recently burned by wildfires. The wet storm brought an initial soaking of rain earlier on Friday. But the worst is yet to come. On Saturday, forecasters expect heavier rain to raise the risk of flash flooding as the system pulls in additional moisture off the Pacific Ocean.
In his Thursday order, the Rhode Island judge, John J. McConnell Jr., admonished the Trump administration for opting to make only partial SNAP payments, saying the administration knew this would only further delay getting aid to people. He ordered the administration to tap into a $23 billion fund for school lunch and child nutrition programs to pay for full SNAP benefits in November. USDA, however, has repeatedly refused to tap into that money, arguing that it is separate from SNAP and that the government does not have funds because of “congressional failure” to appropriate new money. In court papers, the administration said it would not “raid an entirely different program” because it could lead to a shortfall in funding school meals.
