By The Associated Press An attack before dawn Monday damaged a bridge linking Russia to Moscow-annexed Crimea that is a key supply route for Kremlin forces in the war with Ukraine, forcing the span’s temporary closure for a second time in less than a year. Two people were killed and their daughter was injured. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered increased security at the 19-kilometer (12-mile) Kerch Bridge, repeating a call he made in October 2022 when the span was severely damaged by an explosion that Moscow also blamed on Kyiv. He also promised “there will be a response from Russia, of course.” “What happened is another terrorist act of the Kyiv regime,” Putin said at a televised meeting with officials.

  • CBS58 Fires Meterologist After She Criticizes Elon's Salute
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 10:27 AM

    Look, a private business such as a tv station can fire someone for breaching the terms of their contract, in this case, posting something controversial on her own Instagram page. But it's a very bad look for CBS58, to say the least, to fire someone immediately for criticizing Elon Musk's nazi salute.

  • Expert Details The Likely Path Of Broligarchs Under Trump
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 07:58 AM

    I don't see that many interviews worth recommending, but this is a good one. Jon Stewart featured Brooke Harrington, an economic sociologist and author of "Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism." The interview begins by exploring what Harrington termed the 'broligarchy' surrounding Donald Trump—a group that includes figures like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The conversation explored the increasing closeness of U.

  • One Convicted J6 Rioter Turns Down Trump Pardon
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 07:57 AM

    One of the people who served jail time for taking part in the US Capitol riot has refused a pardon from Trump, saying: "We were wrong that day." Via BBC: Pamela Hemphill, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in prison, told the BBC that there should be no pardons for the riot on 6 January 2021. "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative." Hemphill, who was nicknamed the "Maga granny" by social media users - in reference to Trump's "make America great again" slogan - said she saw the Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to be part of that". Good for her.

    Elise Stefanik loves to pose as a champion opponent of antisemitism both in her performative attacks on university presidents and in her pledge to fight it at the U. N. as the likely next ambassador. Yet she insisted that Elon Musk did not make the Nazi salute we all saw him make on Monday.

  • Jan 6th Insurrectionist Pardoned By Trump Rearrested Less Than 1 Day Later
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 01/23/2025 - 07:55 AM

    Republicans, the former party of Law and Order, threw their full support behind a felon candidate who routinely disparages law enforcement. Within hours of taking office, he pardoned over 1,500 January 6th insurrectionist, including leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. In a not at all shocking turn of events, one of the pardoned criminals was ALREADY rearrested!
