\nIran attacks damage 20 US military sites since start of war, satellite images show<\/a><\/h2>\nIran has damaged 20 US military sites since the start of the war, satellite images and videos analysed by BBC Verify show, suggesting the attacks are more extensive than publicly acknowledged.<\/p>\n
Iran has targeted key facilities across eight countries in the Middle East since the end of February, causing millions of dollars of damage to state-of the-art air defence systems, refuelling aircraft and radars.<\/p>\n
Tehran has targeted both US bases and shared military facilities in retaliation to the US-Israeli strikes across Iran and Lebanon over the past three months. …<\/p>\n
Will Neal @ Daily Beast<\/em>: Trump\u2019s War Story Blown Up by Jaw-Dropping New Evidence<\/a><\/h2>\nHeather Cox Richardson: Letters from an American – June 1, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n… Iran and its role in the president\u2019s deteriorating mental condition are going to take center stage.
\n…<\/p>\n
His base demands that he look strong and accomplish what, after the initial strikes failed, he claimed to have started the war for: to make sure Iran doesn\u2019t have the capacity to produce a nuclear weapon. He also needs to reopen the Strait of Hormuz\u2014which was open before he began the strikes\u2014and get oil flowing again from that region of the Middle East. Prices in the U.S. are rising, and the looming threat of oil reserves running out adds even more pressure to consumer prices.
\n…<\/p>\n
… Permitting Iran to control the strait is not just about oil; it\u2019s about the principle of freedom of the seas set out after World War II. Global trade depends on that concept. The exchange of money is also a problem for Trump. He has spent much of his political life attacking the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K., the U.S., and the European Union negotiated with Iran during the Obama administration, claiming that former president Obama \u201cgave\u201d Iran $1.7 billion. In fact, the JCPOA simply permitted the release of Iranian assets frozen overseas by sanctions, but much of Trump\u2019s base believes that Obama showed weakness by buying an agreement.

\nIt Makes You Sick: The Attacks on Health, Healthcare, and Care<\/a><\/h2>\n… “love thy neighbor” is a profound thing to live by, a demanding instruction, but a trivial trio of words to toss out casually.<\/p>\n
A nurse said something to me a few weeks ago that rearranged my reality a bit along those lines. He said that in some poor communities of color, there’s a real question about whether a young person’s asthma should be put on their medical chart even while they’re being treated for it. That’s because for a lot of poor kids, the military is a way out of that poverty, and the asthma diagnosis could shut it off to them \u2013 and of course more poor kids live in places where air pollution results in asthma. Although we were in New Mexico and he was from Connecticut, something about how he said it, the fierce passion, the moral rigor, made me see my own state, California, in a new light, or to feel viscerally what I had long known cerebrally.<\/p>\n
I suddenly felt in a new way how the land and the people aren’t separate, and how too many people on too many parts of that land are being sickened by breathing in industrial pollution, particularly in port cities like West Oakland and Long Beach, agricultural smog, dust, pesticides and other forms of pollution all through the Central, San Joaquin, and Imperial Valleys and the fossil fuel pollution wherever there’s fracking, other forms of extraction, refineries, and heavy traffic, especially diesel-truck traffic, and in almost every part of the state at one point or another, wildfire smoke. …

James Eagle: AI\u2019s new bottleneck is memory<\/a><\/h2>\nSK Hynix and Micron are not household AI names, but they sit inside the part of the boom that now matters most: capacity. If Nvidia\u2019s chips are the engines, high-bandwidth memory is the fuel line. Without enough of it, expensive AI processors cannot run efficiently.<\/p>\n
Bloomberg\u2019s chart shows investors waking up to that bottleneck. The money is no longer flowing only to model builders and cloud platforms; it is spreading to the suppliers that determine how fast the AI buildout can actually happen.<\/p>\n
You do not need to own the stocks for this to matter. If memory stays tight, AI gets more expensive to deploy, the winners change, and companies promising cheap intelligence face a harder margin story. Memory is still cyclical, so today\u2019s bottleneck can become tomorrow\u2019s glut.
