WE ARE FUCKED: Yesterday in one sentence: Trump will restrict classified briefings to Congress after a leaked Pentagon report showed U.S. airstrikes didn't cripple Iran’s nuclear program and likely only set it back "a few months"; Trump said the U.S. will meet with Iran next week, but claimed a nuclear deal "is not that necessary" because the U.S. strikes already "destroyed the nuclear"; NATO allies agreed to raise defense spending target to 5% of GDP by 2035; Trump said he might allow Ukraine to buy additional U.S.-made Patriot missile systems; the U.S. won’t deliver $1.2 billion in promised funding to the global vaccine alliance; Health Secretary Kennedy's new vaccine advisory panel will revisit the long-standing childhood immunization schedule; Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Andrew Cuomo conceded; and Trump called Mamdani a "Communist Lunatic," claiming "Democrats have crossed the line" and adding that "We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous."
