KYIV, Ukraine — Russian authorities accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow early Monday that saw one of the aircraft fall near the Defense Ministry’s main headquarters, while the Russian military launched new strikes on port infrastructure in southern Ukraine.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no casualties when the drones struck two nonresidential buildings. The Defense Ministry claimed that the military jammed both attacking drones, forcing them to crash.
Russian media reported that one of the drones fell on the Komsomolsky highway near Moscow’s center, close to the main Defense Ministry building. Another drone hit an office building in southern Moscow, gutting its upper floors.
[…]
Russian authorities said that another Ukrainian drone attack early Monday struck an ammunition depot in northern Crimea and forced a halt in traffic on a major highway and a railway crossing the Black Sea peninsula that was illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014. Railway traffic was restored several hours later.
The Moscow-appointed head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said that authorities also ordered the evacuation of several villages within a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius of the depot that was hit.
Aksyonov said the military shot down or jammed 11 attacking drones, while the Defense Ministry claimed later that 11 of the 17 attacking drones were jammed and crashed into the Black Sea and another three were shot down.
Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s digital transformation minister, noted on his messaging app channel that Monday’s drone attacks on Moscow and Crimea signaled that Russia’s electronic warfare means and air defenses are “less and less able to protect the skies of the invaders,” adding that “there will be more of it.”
Ukrainska Pravda reported that the drone attack on Moscow was a special operation by Ukrainian military intelligence.
On Saturday, a previous drone attack on Crimea hit another ammunition depot, sending huge plumes of black smoke skyward and also forcing the evacuation of residents,

Elon Musk: Twitter unveils X logo to replace blue bird
Twitter’s boss has unveiled the social media site’s new logo, featuring a white X on a black background, which will replace its blue bird.
In a tweet on Monday morning, Linda Yaccarino said “X is here! Let’s do this.”
“Tweets” will also be replaced, according to Twitter’s owner Elon Musk, and posts will be called “x’s”.
The billionaire changed his profile picture to the new logo and added “X.com” to his Twitter bio.
Mr Musk wants to create a “super app” called “X” – his vision for a new kind of social media platform that he has been talking about creating for months.
On Sunday, the billionaire said he was looking to change Twitter’s logo, tweeting: “And soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”
He then shared a picture of the new X branding projected onto the side of Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
[…]
Mr Musk has long had a fascination with the letter X – although no-one really knows why.
One of his first business ventures in 1999 was known as X.com, which was an online banking platform.
Just three years later, Mr Musk made $165m when X.com – by then merged with PayPal – was bought by eBay.
He also owns the X.com domain name, which now redirects to Twitter.
Mr Musk is also chief executive of SpaceX, the commercial American aerospace company founded in 2002.
There is also the name of his first child with musician Grimes – X Æ A-12 Musk.
Mr Musk also recently launched his long-awaited artificial intelligence start-up – xAI – in a bid to build an alternative to ChatGPT.
hmmm … another inventor-type billionaire going bonkers a la Howard Hughes perhaps?

My thinking is the twit has a trademark and copyright on the letter “X” and is going to sue anyone using the letter. Can you imagine what the owner of Xceptional Cess pit cleaners is going to say when she gets a cease and desist letter from the twit?
Edit: turns out the “X” used by twit is a Unicode special character. . . opps – A Unicode cannot be trademark. And, single letters usually cannot be copyright, however, let the lawyers duel.
If someone, a CEO or a political leader for example, does one thing after another to destroy the institution or organization they are supposed to lead, at some point you just have to accept that destroying it is their objective.

last week portends a worrisome this week given the escalation of threats
In a rather ominous and unflattering Truth Social post, defendant and Republican Party leader Donald Trump threatened: “If you f*ck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”
Given what Trump has *already* done, including trying to use the force of his violent supporters to overtake an election, which resulted in what Director Wray called a domestic terrorist attack on this country, these should not be taken as empty threats.
Trump posted this just two days after announcing he was a target in special counsel Jack Smith’s probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. This means he is likely to be charged with federal crimes in the next few weeks.
[…]
Trump is doing his best mob boss intimidation tactic in this video. Not only is he putting out what, given his history of incitement, could fairly be described as a stochastic terrorism call to any unhinged lone wolf supporters, but he is also potentially poisoning the jury pools and vaguely intimidating them.
Although traffic at Trump’s social media company surged after his indictment in April, the head of engineering at Truth Social resigned several days ago.
With calls to violence like this video, Trump should not be welcome on mainstream social media sites. However, both Meta and Twitter have welcomed Trump back to their platforms. So, no matter what happens with Truth Social, Trump might well be posting things like this on other more popular sites any day now.
This is the man whom a judge just told a jury found committed rape. This is the man who endangered U.S. troops and our intelligence assets. This is also the man who endangered public safety. This is also the man who has cheated his own supporters. This is also the man who threatens and intimidates to get what he wants, including trying to coerce Republicans in Georgia to “find” votes for him.
And this is also the man the Republican Party won’t quit.
They’ll quit like Quitmonsters when the Hammer comes down. Â
I’ve been to Odessa, one of Europe’s most beautiful city centers. Sickening it’s getting pummeled now. This can’t go well with many Russians who revere the place even if they don’t live there.
Just reminded – fifty years ago I got my Southeast Asia vaccinations, do not “date” the locals, keep inside the wire and whatever. And, my next base assignment. Seems the Denver Colorado area was not what was in mind for my life experiences. Next up, a base no one had heard of, except for those who had been in Vietnam, Columbus AFB, MS. It was supposed to be six months acclimatization to heat and humidity so you could just step out at Ton Sun Nhut AFB and enjoy the climate and hospitality.Â
Tweets making the rounds on the new X branding: “Apparently Z was taken”
Half of Trump’s campaign fundraising now goes to his legal bills. Of the $35 million raised between March and June, $17.7 million went to the campaign and the rest went to the PAC paying his lawyers — FEC
“… a budget proposal …that would raise the Social Security retirement age—cutting benefits across the board—while further privatizing Medicare and slashing taxes for the rich…”
“…raise Social Security’s full retirement age—the age at which people are eligible for full Social Security benefits—to 69, up from the current level of 67 for those born in 1960 or later.”
“Nancy Altman, the president of Social Security Works, said the RSC budget would “destroy Social Security as we know it,” using a “modest shortfall” that’s more than a decade away to justify reducing benefits for millions.”
…rules out any options for raising revenue, such as requiring billionaires to contribute even a penny more.”
“Currently, just the first $160,200 of wage earnings are subject to Social Security’s payroll tax, allowing the rich to stop contributing to the program early each year.”
“Indeed, the budget will increase the number of workers who will have no ability to retire while maintaining their standard of living,” she added. “The RSC plan would make it especially hard for Americans so disabled that they can no longer work to claim their earned Social Security, and far easier for the government to take those benefits away.”
“Far from raising taxes on the rich, the RSC budget calls for massive tax cuts by proposing a permanent extension of the individual tax provisions of the 2017 Trump-GOP tax law. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that such a move would add $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade.”
Vote blue and eat the billionaires!
A white X on a black background.  Why not a Twitter blue background? Ohhhh, it’s a dog whistle – white crossing out black.  Someone stick that egotistical asshat on a one-way rocket to Mars. Â
“The former chair of the Alliance for a Pro-Life Alabama, who more recently served as an official in the Alabama State Department of Education, was ousted from the education department last week after being indicted on child sexual abuse charges…”
“Marty Decole “Cole” Wagner is accused of sexually abusing a child under the age of 12 and was indicted by a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, on June 30. An unnamed source familiar with Wagner’s case told the outlet that the child victim in question is actually under 10 years of age.”
“Texas Gov. Greg Abbott will not be ordering floating barriers to be removed from the Rio Grande, in defiance of the US Department of Justice.”
“Texas will fully utilize its constitutional authority to deal with the crisis you have caused,” Abbott wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden following last week’s DOJ request to remove the barriers.
He added, “Texas will see you in court, Mr. President.”
“Governor Abbott’s dangerous and unlawful actions are undermining that effective plan and making it hard for the men and women of Border Patrol to do their jobs of securing the border. The governor’s actions are cruel and putting both migrants and border agents in danger,” White House spokesman Abdullah Hasan said.
“If Governor Abbott truly wanted to drive toward real solutions, he’d be asking his Republican colleagues in Congress, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz, why they voted against President Biden’s request for record funding for the Department of Homeland Security and why they’re blocking comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures to finally fix our broken immigration system.”
“The Justice Department’s threat of legal action over the floating barriers is based on a clause in federal law that “prohibits the creation of any obstruction to the navigable capacity of waters of the United States, and further prohibits building any structure in such waters without authorization from the United States Army Corps of Engineers.”
“Texas is already facing a lawsuit against its installation of a marine floating barrier. The owner of a Texas canoe and kayaking company filed the lawsuit earlier this month on the same day that Texas started deploying buoys for the barrier. That suit lists the state of Texas and Abbott, as well as the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard.”
BB – Exactly. Â Just another right-winger sexually abusing a child.
“A vote to impeach Paxton, Jonathan Stickland wrote on Twitter, “is a decision to have a primary.”
“Wait till you see my PAC budget,” he later added.
“Stickland is the leader of Defend Texas Liberty, a political action committee that has donated millions of dollars to far-right candidates in the state. It is a key part of the constellation of political campaigns, institutions and dark-money groups that a trio of West Texas oil tycoons — Tim Dunn and brothers Farris and Dan Wilks — have pumped small fortunes into as part of a long-term crusade to push Texas to the extreme right.”
“Now, with the clock ticking toward Paxton’s September impeachment trial before the Texas Senate, Stickland and his far-right friends are fighting hard and spending big to protect their most important ally — and to stave off a major loss amid their ongoing fight for control of the Texas GOP.”
“As with now, the strategy was simple: Pull the party’s middle further to the right by labeling other Republicans — particularly Joe Straus, the GOP speaker of the House from 2009-19 — as ineffective moderates in bed with liberals to suppress conservative priorities. Those attacks were disseminated through a well-funded media ecosystem to a grassroots base motivated by the election of President Barack Obama, the Tea Party movement, the proliferation of social media and an influx of dark money unleashed by the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.”
“Since the beginning, the groups have aimed “to force retirements or defeat moderate incumbents in primaries, really almost to the exclusion of any other strategic goal,” said Matt Mackowiak, chair of the Travis County GOP and a longtime Republican political consultant.”
“It’s about convincing incumbents that if they don’t vote as conservatives, then they’ll be put at political risk,” he said.
“And the billionaire-backed groups have always liked Paxton.”
“Recent financial disclosures also show that in June, Defend Texas Liberty gave $3 million in loans and donations to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who will preside over Paxton’s impeachment trial in the Texas Senate.”
“Hours after the donations were made public, Stickland again took to Twitter. “This is just the beginning,” he wrote. “Wait till you see the next report. We will never stop. Ever.”
“Texas is among a handful of states with no limits on individual political contributions in state races. Since Defend Texas Liberty PAC was created in 2020, Dunn and Farris Wilks have given at least $14.5 million to the organization. They also helped bankroll Stickland’s career in the Legislature before he took over the group.”
NYT analysis: Floridians died at a higher rate, adjusted for age, than residents of almost any other state once DeSantis stopped promoting vaccinations.
Have been waiting for the stories on how many he killed, Trump will be getting his due too before the election ..
This is very personal for me.Â
Yes.  We should never forget that these statistics aren’t just numbers. They are people who left behind loved ones, and a lot of those lives could have been saved with quicker lockdowns and not playing politics with vaccines.Â
“ The Israeli parliament on Monday passed a law stripping the Supreme Court of its power to block government decisions, the first part of a planned judicial overhaul that has sharply divided Israeli society and drawn fierce criticism from the White House.”
“The controversial bill passed by a vote of 64-0 in the Knesset. All members of the governing coalition voted in favor the bill, while all opposition lawmakers walked out of the chamber as the vote was taking place.”
“The so-called reasonableness law takes away the Supreme Court’s power to block government decisions by declaring them unreasonable. Its passing could trigger a constitutional crisis – if the court declares the law itself is unreasonable.”
“Thousands of military reservists – including more than 1,100 Air Force officers – said even before the bill passed that they would refuse to volunteer for duty if it did.”
“The fierce debate over the planned judicial overhaul has turned into a battle over the soul of the Israeli state. It has pitted a coalition of right-wing and religious groups against the secular, liberal parts of Israeli society and sparked the longest and largest protests in the country’s 75-year history.”
“…the Supreme Court is the only check on the power of the Knesset and the government, since the executive and legislative branches are always controlled by the same governing coalition.”
“Opponents of the plan call it a “coup” and say it threatens to turn Israel into a dictatorship by removing the most significant checks on government actions.”
“…critics say Netanyahu is pushing the overhaul forward in part to protect himself from his own corruption trial, where he faces charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust.”
“Another bill, already voted through in March, makes it more difficult for a sitting prime minister to be declared unfit for office, restricting the reasons to physical or mental incapacity and requiring either the prime minister themselves, or two-thirds of the cabinet, to vote for such a declaration.”
