“What unites us is far greater than what divides us” JFK ‘61 Interests: Finance, Politics, Nature, Sports

14,000 killed by Europe heatwave in a single week. 300,000 flee wildfires in France & Spain. 70 MILLION in the US to be hit with third heat dome in a month. This is our world as it approaches 1.5C above preindustrial temperatures. Our kids face 4C+. We claim to love them. But we do nothing.

OSSOFF: If there's one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it's Donald Trump—when he dialed up our state's senior most election official, and tried to bully him in a recorded phone call to “find” the exact number of votes Donald Trump needed to win in a state

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done

Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Powell responds ON VIDEO with basically a polite version of Phil Hartman’s Frank Sinatra saying “I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!” www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Let's be absolutely clear what's up for grabs We can no longer dodge climate catastrophe A Pliocene climate (3C hotter, sea levels 20m higher) is now certain We are now fighting to stop a return to the Middle Miocene: 7-8C hotter than PI, sea levels up to 50m higher

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

Antarctica is on the verge of tipping. Indeed, it might have already tipped. There’s 80 METRES of sea level rise locked away in Antarctic ice. How much has our fossil-fuel-sponsored-politics ensured is heading for a coastal town or city near you?

‘It looks more likely with each day we burn fossil fuels’: polar scientist on Antarctic tipping points

Despite working on polar science for the British Antarctic Survey for 20 years, Louise Sime finds the magnitude of potential sea-level rise hard to comprehend

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort

Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
