NEW: President Trump has told aides he would back the killing of new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei if he proves unwilling to cede to U.S. demands, such as ending Iran’s nuclear development, current and former U.S. officials said.
The White House declined to comment, but Trump on Monday told the New York Post he was “not happy” that Khamenei was selected to lead Iran. He called young Khamenei "unacceptable."
“I’m not going through this to end up with another Khamenei,” Trump told Time magazine last week.

Israel would likely execute an operation aimed at taking out Khamenei, who was named as supreme leader on Sunday, a current and a former U.S. official said, noting that Israel is taking the lead on targeting Iranian leaders.
BREAKING: FBI Says woman aged 13–15, alleges sexual assault by Donald Trump in the 1980
The Justice Department has released a batch of previously unreleased documents from the Epstein files that include notes from FBI interviews with a woman who says she was assaulted by President Donald Trump as a minor.
According to the summaries of her 2019 FBI interviews, the woman claimed Epstein first abused her repeatedly starting around 1983 after responding to her babysitting ad in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, when she was approximately 13.

In Iran and that Iran posed no threat to the USA, but he and the others of his party that have repeated this script over the past 10 days since the first bombings began, supported Obama when Obama bombed Libya, killing its leadership and 35,000 innocent civilians ...

(a nation that, by the way, not only did not threaten the USA, but one whose leaders ended their hostility and offered cooperation). That attack on Libya did cause regime change, by the way.

Number stations are radio broadcasting stations that are used to send coded signals to operatives. North Vietnam used them during the Vietnam wars against both France and the USA to inform agents in South Vietnam.

The USA has operated some, but not since about 1995. Israel last used one in 2010. Russia has operated several, but not since 2021.
But there is one operating in Iran today. The problem is, Iran is trying to jam its signal.

Diplo owns a $100 million 50 acre estate in Jamaica called Pompey. There's something very unsettling about wealthy yt men living in opulence in countries where the local population suffer from colonization & yt supremacy. Pay attn to how Diplo shows Black people in Pompey⤵️
Black women are just props & they are sexualized for Diplo's gaze...
We need to go deeper into this headline and find answers: a thread with explosive details.
Even though her son is about to marry Taylor Swift, Donna decided now would be the ideal time to do some home renovations, taking the spotlight off the bride-to-be, an obvious power move.
The home is a 1,434-square-foot Orlando townhouse in the upscale Baldwin Park neighborhood.
Rather than framing long COVID as a simple state of persistent systemic inflammation, this new study points toward a model of chronically dysregulated immunity in which NK-cell dysfunction may occupy a central mechanistic role🧵
This paper says something important. In at least a subset of patients, long COVID may represent a state of impaired, inefficient, and partly exhausted immune surveillance, with NK cells at its center.
The authors support this with three layers of evidence. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies persist in the blood, while key cytokines fall, NK/NKT cells are reduced in number, and the NK cells that remain carry transcriptional signatures of functional remodeling and suppression.
CLOK6 - Brent May went from $ 120 => $ 100
Risk premium went from to $ 50 to $ 30 - These are crazy numbers.
$ 30 already accounts for longer than 1 month of straight closure and some additional shut-ins.

That seems reasonable for now, but far from a worst case scenario. Even the $ 50 was under-pricing a worst case scenario.
What is a worst case? likely disruption of straight traffic into the summer/autumn and more field/refinery shut-ins across the region.

The curve is in strong backwardation with futures pricing some risk premia out to July 2027.
For now just talk has reigned the front. Talk of military escorts, DFC $ 2 b cover and G7 SPR release.
Given most of this talk is bullshit, the $ 120 is a reasonable ST mark.

Here are five things "I think" with the Seahawks as the negotiating window opens.
These have a chance to look silly over the next few days, so feel free to throw them back in my face if they're wrong (not that you would have waited for an invitation to do so).
Here we go ...

1) Of the Seahawks' top six UFAs, I think Josh Jobe has the best chance of re-signing. He had some of the best coverage numbers of any corner last season (see timeline). A self-made guy who seems to have the mindset/approach they want. My guess: he's back for around $10M/year.
2) Of the six – Jobe, Ken Walker III, Rashid Shaheed, Coby Bryant, Riq Woolen, Boye Mafe – I think there’s a chance only Jobe is back. Seattle has a good amount of cap space, but I don’t think they’ll make undisciplined, shortsighted moves to keep their Super Bowl roster intact.

Pieces of SARS-CoV-2 proteins were found in tiny blood particles in many people with long COVID, even about 17 months after infection. This may point to a measurable biological signal, not just symptoms. Breakdown in simple language 🧵
Those tiny particles are extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are small packages released by cells into the blood that can carry proteins and other material.
The researchers studied 14 adults with long COVID (symptoms lasting >12 weeks, like fatigue, shortness of breath, trouble tolerating exercise, and feeling worse after activity).
Most were not hospitalized during their initial COVID illness.
