1/ Who missed Hormuz?
2/ When asked during a recent @60Minutes interview whether Israel anticipated that Iran might move to close the Strait of Hormuz, an uncharacteristically sheepish Bibi Netanyahu (@netanyahu) almost completely avoided eye contact with interviewer Major Garrett (@MajorCBS) — eventually conceding that “the problem of the Hormuz Strait was understood as the fighting went on.”
3/ When asked about whether the US anticipated Iran would close the strait and conduct strikes on its neighbors, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) responded: “I can’t say we anticipated necessarily that’s exactly how they would react.”
June 13, 2025. Vance Boelter gives his housemate $900 in cash, four months of rent in advance. Texts: "I may be dead shortly."

Federal record is sealed. Likely stays that way.
This thread isn’t about whether Boelter acted alone.
It’s about a methodology question with a 50-year answer.

Non-lawyers and many lawyers with strident political views hate stare decisis, the doctrine that says that courts are supposed to follow precedents.
But stare decisis is both essential for a functioning legal system and mandated by the Constitution.
But stare decisis is both essential for a functioning legal system and mandated by the Constitution.
Let's start with a famous Onion headline, "Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be".
Think about WHY this is so funny.

Think about WHY this is so funny.

The basic point is that all of us have opinions about what we think the Constitution means, consider those opinions to be the "right" interpretation, and get mad when they are not followed. But no legal system works on "however anyone subjectively interprets the law is the law".
🚨What if rocks could trap CO₂ faster than nature ever does, at the atomic scale?
A recent study reveals how water can dramatically accelerate CO₂ mineralization on mineral surfaces, unlocking faster long-term #CarbonStorage.

2/ For decades, scientists assumed CO₂ turns into stable carbonate rock through a slow, two-step process:
CO₂ dissolves in water → minerals dissolve → carbonates slowly form.
This made geological storage reliable, but extremely slow.

3/ But real-world observations didn’t fully match this slow picture.
In some environments, carbonate minerals form surprisingly quickly, suggesting an alternative, faster reaction pathway might exist.

You may be wondering 2 things.
1) What happened to Trump? Who is he listening to?
2) Why does it feel like the internet isn’t real and engagement is fluctuating based on “particular topics” lately?
I think I can help answer both questions.
There is a company called Vine & Fig Tree (VFT).
VFT is a pro-Israel organization with ties to the administration.
Earlier this year, VFT was at the White House meeting with Sebastian Gorka.
Shortly after that White House meeting, I was contacted through a third party and asked to script-write for VFT.
The individual who contacted me is publicly very Christian and widely perceived as America First.
I was told the script would be used to create an AI-generated video on behalf of the White House, specifically for NSC and Sebastian Gorka.
They told me:
“Yeah we have to do this on behalf of them [the administration] because they don’t want it to look like it’s actually coming from the WH.. you know what I mean? I mean, it worked out for them and Nick Shirley.”
I was then given a Dropbox link containing research, polling data, internal comments, and strategy material compiled by VFT and the third party involved.
Inside the Dropbox were 7 folders.
Through those documents, I learned more about what this organization actually does.
Their reports monitor major conservative and "dissident-right" accounts and frequently frame those accounts as vulnerable to, or participating in, foreign influence operations.
The reports include information regarding @NickFuentes, @hodgetwins, @RealCandaceO, @TuckerCarlson, @jacksonhinklle, @IanCarrollShow, and @MarioNawfal just to name a few.
They also collected polling and response data surrounding @joekent16jan19’s resignation from the administration.
In another report, they argue that distrust surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination was mostly due to Americans falling for Russian, Iranian, and Pakistani propaganda networks.
In that same Charlie Kirk report they state, "This represents an urgent national security threat... and demands a whole-of-government response on par with cyberattacks or terrorism."
The internal comments attached to these reports are what stood out most.
They talk about "going after" Fuentes, stating "undermining his Christian identity is probably a good Idea."
They contemplate "getting" @MattWalshBlog or @michaeljknowles to publish on behalf of VFT.
They suggest collaborating with NCRI, founded by Joel Finkelstein - a multi-million dollar organization that tracks "hate speech" on social media.
Another internal comment weighs in on how they will advise politicians based on their data which also compiles info surrounding JD Vance's 2028 run:
“There is definitely a way to use this in our favor: tell politicians that there are two wings of the party, they don’t overlap, the majority lies here, and this is where you should be if you want to get re-elected..."
The documents also discuss:
Burner profiles, burner ad accounts, AI-generated interview-style videos, audience personas, “troll content briefs”, engagement testing, and ideological audience segmentation.
If you're wondering whether the White House is actually listening to VFT...
It's worth reviewing the White House's latest 16-page Counterterrorism Strategy touted by Gorka.

According to data from Who Profits, Elbit Systems' Hermes 450 drone is responsible for approximately 20% of Israeli targeted killings in Gaza between October 2023 and May 2025, including the April 1, 2024 strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers in Deir al-Balah.
Jacob Flickinger, a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who volunteered with World Central Kitchen, was among those killed in that attack. /3

🚨 BREAKING: Claude just changed how job applications work.
Here are 10 Claude prompts to turn any JD into a winning application👇

Here are 10 Claude prompts to turn any JD into a winning application👇
[Mandatory Bookmark]
1. Break down what actually matters in the JD.
Most people skim job descriptions.
Top candidates reverse-engineer them.
Use this prompt to extract exactly what recruiters are looking for 👇
Prompt:
“Act as a recruiter. Analyze this job description and extract:
• key skills required (technical + soft skills)
• core responsibilities (day-to-day expectations)
• hiring intent (what problem they’re solving)
• must-use keywords for ATS optimization
• traits of a standout candidate
Present everything in a clean, structured table. JD: [paste]”
Result:
→ You get a recruiter-level breakdown of the role
→ Clear keywords to include in your CV
→ Exact skills and outcomes to highlight
→ A deeper understanding of what the company actually wants
Now you’re not guessing you’re aligning your entire application with their expectations.

2. Turn your CV into a perfect match for the role.
A generic CV gets ignored.
A tailored CV gets interviews.
Use this prompt to align your experience exactly with what the company is looking for 👇
Prompt:
“Rewrite my CV for this job without adding or inventing any information.
Improve the professional summary, refine experience bullet points, and optimize the skills section.
Use ATS-friendly keywords from the job description, make each bullet role-specific, and focus on measurable impact and outcomes wherever possible.
Ensure clarity, strong action verbs, and a clean, modern structure.
CV: [paste]
Result:
→ A fully tailored CV aligned with the job requirements
→ Strong, impact-driven bullet points instead of generic tasks
→ Better ATS match with the right keywords included
→ A sharper, more professional narrative of your experience
