Hundreds of peonies were vandalized at a University of Michigan garden at the peak of the flowers' bloom time.
The vandalism happened late Saturday and was discovered Wednesday at the WE Upjohn Peony Garden in the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security said officers found that about 250 peony plants of the garden's roughly 800 peony plants had most of their flowers appear to have been intentionally cut and left behind on the ground, with the scene surprising both garden staff and visitors.
University police say no group has been identified or taken credit for the vandalism, but

Author and political commentator David Brooks sparked outrage and calls for the defunding of PBS after outrageous comments about Elon Musk.
The New York Times columnist likened the billionaire Tesla CEO to infamous mass murderers in history on “PBS Newshour” as he blasted the cuts to USAID under Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency.
“So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected; 6,000 children are dead because of what DOGE did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in,” Brooks claimed.

Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on outgoing Trump administration official and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to apologize for measures taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“He says he’s in a bind,” Schumer said. “The American people are in a bind because of what Musk did. His DOGE, which, you know, didn’t go, didn’t do as much as he wanted it to do, but still did huge amounts of damage in terms of the firing of employees, the decimation of agencies like health care, like going after, making sure drugs and food is safe, nuclear energy is safe.

There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made that point crystal clear from the press room podium Thursday, saying the former first lady “needs to answer” for “lying to the American people” and “shielding her husband away from the cameras.”
For the normally circumspect Leavitt, it was a damning indictment. “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew,” she told reporters at

Representative Maxine Waters' campaign has been hit with a $68,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after an investigation found that it accepted and disbursed contributions exceeding allowable amounts.
The violations involved Citizens for Waters accepting $19,000 in excessive contributions from multiple individuals, exceeding the $2,800 individual limit, as well as making $7,000 worth of “prohibited cash disbursements” from a petty cash fund, all during the 2020 election cycle.
The group's treasurer, referred to as the "committee" in the FEC filing, is accused of "knowingly accepting excessive contributions" and "failing to accurately report both receipts and disbursements made."

First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible.
Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance.
The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just exploit a vulnerability by targeting Russian long-range nuclear capable bombers?

Republican strategist Scott Jennings pushed back hard when podcast host Tara Palmeri claimed during a Sunday debate that political violence was an equivalent issue on “both sides” of the aisle.
Jennings said on “The Tara Palmeri Show” that one recommendation he would give Democrats is to dispose of their “violent tendencies,” noting the vandalism against Tesla that spiked due to Elon Musk’s involvement with President Donald Trump’s administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Palmeri interrupted to refute his claim that political violence is a left-wing problem by bringing up the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, but Jennings noted that it was “one bad day” rather than a pattern.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The phrase is often attributed to Winston Churchill, as well as former Barack Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) is apparently taking that message to heart and is using Sunday’s tragic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado by a deranged antisemite against marchers from the American Jewish group "Run for Their Lives" to push for an agenda that has nothing to do with the assault: gun control.
If only we could get rid of those dreaded "military style assault weapons," attacks like this wouldn't happen.
The problem with his mind-boggling assessment? No guns were used in the attack.

It’s always refreshing when history’s most ironic voices pop up for a cameo.
Yes, THAT Bill Clinton.
The same man who gave us Monica cigars, blue dresses, and a long-running debate about what the definition of “is” is.
Now, he wants to warn us about dignity, responsibility, and preserving the moral fabric of our republic.
What’s next?
Is Alec Baldwin teaching gun safety?
Like a washed-up frontman from a ‘90s boy band schooling today’s stars on stage presence, Bill Clinton has returned to the spotlight with a hot take: Joe Biden was a good president, and Donald Trump is destroying America’s legacy.

A Michigan antisemite was plotting to massacre kids at a Jewish daycare and tried to illegally buy assault weapons after hurling threats at the preschoolers, federal prosecutors have revealed.
Hassan Chokr, 35, was out on bail when he drove through the parking lot of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, outside Detroit, and shouted antisemitic slurs and threats as parents dropped off their kids in December 2022, authorities said.
He pleaded guilty to federal gun charges on May 28.
US Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr said Chokr’s attempted gun purchase was part of what authorities believe was a larger plot “to follow through on his menacing threats against parents and preschoolers

Leaked medical tests reportedly show that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold as a female boxer in Paris last year, has “male karyotypes” and may not qualify as a female for the 2027 Olympics after the new gender test requirement comes into force.
Khelif dominated all female opponents to win the gold in women’s boxing at the 2024 event. Still, the win was marred by controversy because the Algerian had been disqualified from competing as a female in 2022 and 2023 by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to concerns about the validity of Khelif’s gender tests.
