Pentagon Pizza Tracker Betrayed Israeli Strike Plans Against Iran
The Pentagon's prior knowledge of Israel's 'preemptive strike' on Iran appears to have been betrayed by a social media account that tracks pizza orders.
The Pentagon Pizza Report on X monitors foot traffic at pizza shops near the Department of Defense in Arlington, Virginia. After logging normal foot traffic on Thursday, the account recorded 'extremely high levels of traffic' leading up to Israel's early morning June 13 attack on Iran.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio rushed to assure that America had no involvement in the attack.
However, the Pentagon Pizza Report suggested that the Pentagon at least knew the attack was in the works, judging by 'surging' orders.
Hours before Israel launched 'Operation Rising Lion,' four pizza shops 'surged in traffic,' according to the account. Social media commentators suggested that the correlation could be a potential national security risk.
'They should really open a secret Dominos inside the building,' quipped one social media commentator as another commentator asked in Spanish, 'Do they eat pizza in Iran?'
Another X commentator added, 'I feel like this really is telling us that there's a panic at these places.'
According to Pentagon Pizza Report, the Domino's near the White House experienced 'another LARGE surge in activity' as Iran commenced its retaliation against Israel with its own barrage of missiles.

Two of four men recaptured after breaking out of Newark ICE jail
Two of four men who broke out of an immigration jail in Newark have been recaptured, authorities said Sunday. Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada were both caught within 72 hours of escaping, the FBI said. Sandoval-Lopez was nabbed Saturday in Passaic, sources told WNBC. The other escapees — Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Felipe Pineda-Mogollon — remained on the run. The FBI announced a reward of $10,000 for tips that lead to the capture of either man. All four escaped from a controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark on Thursday. Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) said there was widespread unrest at the facility the night of the escape because of overcrowding and food delays. They busted out by breaking through an interior wall, which led to an exterior wall and eventually the parking lot, according to investigators. The feds said all four men had entered the U.S. illegally and were charged with crimes at the state level. Bautista-Reyes was arrested in May in Wayne Township, N.J., on charges of aggravated assault and terroristic threats. Pineda-Mogollon was accused of petit larceny in New York City in April and residential burglary in Union, N.J., in May. The Newark facility where the men escaped from has been the site of several protests, including one that led to the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. While charges against Baraka were eventually dropped, Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was accused of assaulting federal officers at the site. With News Wire Services

Nippon Steel's Investors Begin to Count the Cost of its US Win
After a year and a half of government talks, countless regulatory hiccups and last-minute negotiations, Nippon Steel Corp. secured its much-wanted prize late last week when President Donald Trump approved the $14.1 billion purchase of United States Steel Corp. Now the Japanese giant's shareholders will begin to weigh up the benefits of its biggest ever overseas bet. But they'll also be keeping a watchful eye on the costs, which include the promise to invest $14 billion over the coming years and significant concessions to the US government that will leave Washington with a say in major decisions and control over some board seats.

Teachers union President Randi Weingarten resigns from DNC
American Federation of Teachers union President Randi Weingarten, a longtime influential member of the Democratic National Committee, is leaving the DNC, according to a letter obtained by POLITICO. Weingarten, who has been a member of the DNC for 23 years, wrote to DNC Chair Ken Martin that she had fundamental disagreements with leadership. "I appear to be out of step with the leadership you are forging," she said in the letter dated June 5, "and I do not want to be the one who keeps questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively trying to engage more of our communities." Weingarten has defended former DNC vice chair David Hogg, who was ousted last week from the committee, as he has come under fire over his decision to fund primary challenges against Democrats that he sees as ineffective in safe-blue districts. "Randi has gotten applause from the members when she told them, much to her dismay as a proud Dem," said a spokesperson for Weingarten. Martin told DNC officers and staff in a recent private conversation that Hogg had "essentially destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to" and "I don't know if I wanna do this anymore," as POLITICO first reported. Weingarten sat on the DNC's powerful rules and bylaws committee since 2009, and has been a delegate to Democratic conventions since 1992. A spokesperson for the DNC did not immediately provide comment for this story.
