Iran Scrambling To Restore Bombed Missile Bunkers Within Hours After Being Struck
Iran's resilience after more than a month of very heavy US-Israeli bombing has become obvious. The country's somewhat ancient air force and navy have been largely obliterated, and yet all the while the Iranian military has kept up intense ballistic missile and drone strikes on Israel and Gulf states. Tehran's missile arsenal is what is understood to have always been formidable.
And now US intelligence has freshly assessed that Iranian personnel are busy excavating bombed underground missile bunkers and silos and restoring them to operation within a mere hours of US and Israeli strikes.
The New York Times on Friday featured American intelligence analysis saying that Tehran has retained a substantial number of missiles and mobile launchers, raising serious doubts on how close Washington actually is to eliminating the Islamic Republic's missile capability.

Acting AG Todd Blanche: Investigating ActBlue Allegations Is A Top Priority
The Democratic Party's premier fundraising machine is in serious legal jeopardy, and the new man running the Justice Department just made clear he intends to do something about it.
The New York Times reported on Thursday that ActBlue's own lawyers had warned its leadership in early 2025 that it may have lied to Congress about how it screens out illegal foreign donations.
In 2023, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones sent a letter to Republican congressional investigators assuring them the platform used rigorous safeguards. The letter described "multilayered" screenings that helped "root out" overseas contributions. What the platform's own legal team later discovered was considerably more inconvenient: those protections weren't consistently applied in practice.
“This presents a substantial risk for ActBlue,” the law firm, Covington & Burling, wrote in one of two memos expressing legal concerns....

Pentagon Prepares A-10 Warthog Surge As Mideast Fleet Set To Double
The Department of War is preparing to double its fleet of Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt IIs, better known in the aviation community as "Warthogs," in the Middle East in the very near term, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The surge of additional Warthogs, as many as 18, on top of the roughly dozen A-10s already operating in the region, has already been used to sink Iranian boats in the Hormuz chokepoint and strike Iran-backed militias in Iraq, according to the NYT, citing DoW officials. The expanded fleet suggests a broader aviation campaign in and around Hormuz and could even play a critical role in supporting a potential seizure of Kharg Island, Iran's main oil hub in the northern Persian Gulf.

Pentagon Weighs Anti-Drone Laser Weapon Deployment In DC To Fortify Airspace (ZeroHedge)

Pentagon Weighs Anti-Drone Laser Weapon Deployment In DC To Fortify Airspace
We outlined a glaring security gap in U.S. counter-drone defenses well before the U.S.-Iran conflict erupted one month ago.
At the time, we specifically pointed out that data centers are largely unprepared for drone threats. We believe the Gulf conflict - after Iran bombed multiple data centers and military bases - has likely pushed the federal government into panic mode, accelerating efforts to deploy counter-drone systems around high-value targets across the homeland, whether military bases or civilian infrastructure.
This brings us to a New York Times report from Tuesday morning outlining how the Department of War is considering deploying anti-drone laser weapons near Fort McNair in Washington, DC, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio reside, following recent reports of suspicious activity and ongoing concerns about drone attacks on the homeland.

The UK has a chance to pioneer pornography regulation – it must take it | Susanna Rustin (The Guardian)

The crime bill proposes a stronger model of consent – and with violent imagery and child sexual abuse soaring, who, really, can argue against it?Susanna Rustin is the author of Sexed: A History of British FeminismOnce you stop to think about it, the need for a law to ensure that participants have consented to appear in online pornography is obvious.Egregious past failures have been well documented. They range from the New York Times's investigation of Pornhub, which concluded that one of the world's biggest pornography businesses hosted videos featuring underaged and sex-trafficked subjects (Pornhub subsequently removed more than half of its content) to the horrors uncovered in the trial of Dominique Pelicot. On the online chat site Coco he shared multiple videos of his then wife, Gisèle, being raped while unconscious in a chatroom called “without her knowledge” (Coco was shut down in 2024).Susanna Rustin is a social affairs journalist and the author of Sexed: A History of British FeminismDo you ...

'13 US Bases Uninhabitable': Pentagon Admits Much Of Iran War Overseen By Personnel 'Working Remotely'
The New York Times really buried the lede in a fresh report entitled "Iran's Attacks Force US Troops to Work Remotely." With the report noting that before the Iran war started the Pentagon had some 40,000 troops in the region, we are told that many have been widely dispersed due to the Iranian retaliatory bombing campaign on the Gulf, even as far as Europe, and must 'work remotely'.
Somehow readers expect they are about to read a story mainly about how troops are now confined to hotels and office spaces throughout the region: "So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes," NY Times writes.
But then several paragraphs in comes a huge confirmation of what many analysts suspected was the case over the course of the...

Russia Launches Largest One-Day Drone Blitz Of Ukraine War
At least seven people were killed in Ukraine on Tuesday after Russia launched a truly massive drone attack that's said to be the largest of the four-year war. Counting both drones and cruise missiles, 979 warheads poured into Ukrainian airspace as diplomatic efforts at ending the war remain stalled and the world's attention focused almost entirely on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Ukrainian officials said it began with an overnight attack comprising almost 400 long-range drones and 23 cruise missiles. Then, in a surprise twist, Russia unleashed even more in broad daylight. Startled Ukrainians were sent rushing to bomb shelters after alarms rang out around noon, as a swarm of 556 drones hammered cities across the western part of the country, including Lviv, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro.
