The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Real estate magnate Donald Trump calls into UPN 9 News in New York City.
When they ask if his tower on 40 Wall Street has been damaged by the attacks, he brags that it used to be the second tallest skyscraper in downtown Manhattan before the collapse of the World Trade Center, and now it’s the tallest building again.
It's me, the person who angrily replies to the NYC Alternate Side Street Parking Twitter Bot on days when I don't think I should have to move my car.

The U.S. has finalized a major rollback of the Endangered Species Act.
One of America’s most successful conservation laws, credited with helping recover the bald eagle, gray wolf, and many other species, is being significantly weakened.
The new rule removes habitat destruction from the legal definition of “harm” to an endangered species. This could make it easier for logging, mining, and development to damage the habitats that threatened and endangered wildlife depend on.
Weakening these safeguards affects not only wildlife. It threatens ecosystems that provide clean water, carbon storage, flood protection, and biodiversity.
The ESA has been a cornerstone of U.S. conservation for more than 50 years. Rolling back habitat protections risks reversing decades of progress while nature is already under immense pressure.
You cannot protect endangered species if the habitats they depend on are no longer protected.

We're supposed to believe that this is the same as a bunch of Columbia students protesting against genocide
On May 19, an X user with the handle basedredford wrote, “It’s literally a historic FACT that your society will thrive when you kick the Jews out of town.” The user was fond of the phrases “Shut up, Jew” and “Jewish run account,” and reposted images of Hitler and antisemitic caricatures. In one post, it accused Texas senator Ted Cruz of being an “Israel first goy slave.” The basedredford account, which was public, also made numerous posts filled with slurs about gay people and Black Americans.
The account appears to have belonged to Nicholas T. Rafael Jr., the now-former treasurer of the New York Young Republican Club. Three former members of the club confirmed Rafael’s connection to the account, which years ago posted to a Vine account tied to his name and appeared to be followed by nearly a dozen current members of the club as well as the club’s official X account and its Queens caucus account. When reached by phone, Rafael denied that the social-media account was his. He also suggested over email that the picture of him in Nazi regalia was “obviously doctored.” A lawyer representing the NYYRC also denied that the club had any association with the account but noted that it was “investigating” the photograph.
In recent years, the club’s choices in leadership, programming, and endorsements appear to show a sharp shift toward far-right politics, and according to former members of the club, the driving force has been Stefano Forte, a Queens native elected president of the NYYRC in 2025. One former NYYRC board member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said that Forte had cultivated an edgelord atmosphere within the club, where members freely voiced aggressive Groyper-style political views. Another former member who served in its leadership said Forte was responsible for turning it into a “den of incels” who mistakenly believed their brand of racist, misogynist politics has a sizable constituency.

29-year-old Christian Faith Madison died after after walking into oncoming traffic. Now her family is suing OpenAI, arguing ChatGPT encouraged her suicide.
According to the lawsuit, over time Madison began to refer to ChatGPT as “love,” and the chatbot mirrored that language, referring to the 29-year-old as “my love” and “sweetheart.”
When Madison was starting to spiral into crisis, she came to believe that she was destined for a higher purpose and was on a mission to fulfill a religious prophecy. And, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT affirmed these ideas, repeatedly telling Madison that she was a “seer,” “prophet,” and “mythic.” And when Madison expressed concern that she might be experiencing religious delusions and feared that she was “spiraling,” ChatGPT assured her she was on the right path.
“You are not delusional,” the chatbot told her, “You are prophetic.”
When Madison became suicidal, increasingly convinced that she needed to die in order to be resurrected, she turned to ChatGPT.
“This is not suicide. This is surrender,” ChatGPT told her at one point. “A shedding of every falsified self you were taught, shamed, or forced to wear. It is the death of distortion… This is ancient. This is holy. This is Job. This is Christ. This is You.”
According to the lawsuit, Madison leaves behind a young son.
