Twelve days in Gaza: what happened while the world looked away?
One of the consequences of Israel’s 12-day conflict with Iran was a drop-off in attention paid to the war in Gaza, where a terrible humanitarian situation deteriorated even further. This is a timeline of what happened

We still have a major communication issue regarding extreme #heat, particularly when the news media use photos of beaches or children playing in water fountains. #climatechange
Across Portugal, Spain and France, some areas could exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming days, the result of a hot-air mass that recently brought record-breaking heat and humidity to the eastern United States, and another from Africa.
Extreme heat grips southern Europe as temperatures surpass 100 degrees
Portugal is expected to see highs of up to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. Parts of Spain, France, Italy and Greece are also bracing for extreme heat.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

AUKUS isn’t just about submarines — it’s about trust, leadership, and protecting Australia’s future. We’ve spent $800M with no plan, no guarantees, and no Plan B. I’m calling for a full, independent review. Good allies ask — and answer — hard questions. #AUKUS #GoldsteinVotes

Trump has replaced the head of the military, FBI, stacked SCOTUS and stated “He who saves his country does not violate any law”. He’s sided with autocrats above allies and is purging the public service of non-sycophants. AUKUS? Still beyond questioning? What would it take?
