Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

This strikes me as pretty bad

PONOKA, thank you for your support for #ForeverCanadian

LACOMBE, thank you for your incredible work for #ForeverCanadian

Put simply, Russia does not have the capacity to store the oil they can’t refine, so they have to offload it to sponsors of war like India and China - at a discounted price.

Estonia has sentenced a serviceman to nearly five years in prison for spying for Russia’s FSB.

Estonian citizen, Ivan Dmitriev, in March and May 2025 cooperated with FSB officer. He was a member of the voluntary defense organization, where he carried out various tasks, including operating drones.

CALMAR, you are amazing!!! These #ForeverCanadian volunteers don’t give up. Great response in rural Alberta.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

Thanks, New Yorker

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Great NEWS for #ForeverCanadian

Court agreed that canvassers’ affidavits are not required. No one should have to pay for participating in a democratic process.

Now you can hand in your petitions without affidavits.

Thank you Elections Alberta for agreeing with this decision.

So it looks very much like the truth of the conditions at the front is actually getting through to the public.

21/ "7️⃣ Support/Readiness to Go (Loyalist Segment)

An active cluster is noticeable, reproducing mobilisation rhetoric ("duty," "must"). However, even the "for" side sets conditions: proper preparation, supplies, clear deadlines, and a shift-based approach."

19/ "6️⃣ Criticism of the Elite/Social Injustice

The question "why aren't the children of the elite" is heard, as well as irritation with personnel signals: "those who show results are punished, while those who fail are promoted."

18/ "5️⃣ Family Obligations and Home Front Security

A strong motive is "who to leave at home" amid domestic insecurity and deteriorating living conditions in the rear. Until there is confidence in the protection of the family, people are not ready to "go to the forest belts."

17/ "4️⃣ Material Motivations ≠ Risk Motivation

Even large payments are perceived as "coffin money" and/or as promises with a high risk of non-payment or depreciation. "Life is more valuable." Increasing payments alone does not solve the problem of influx.

16/ "3️⃣ Unclear Goals/Feeling of a "Half-Agreement"

Commentators do not understand "what it takes" or "what victory looks like." They see the authorities' willingness to "live in the routine of war" and rely on negotiations.

The lack of a clear goal kills the meaning of monetary motivation.

14/ "2️⃣ Unpreparedness and Conditions of Service

Complaints are widespread about short and formal training, supply shortages (communications, drones, medical kits, construction materials), poor evacuation of the wounded, and the transfer of specialists to "hard-core assaults."

12/ "1️⃣ Distrust of the "employer" (army/state) and contract terms

People describe en masse the experience/expectation of "enslavement": the lack of fixed terms, the risk of forced extensions "until the end of the Special Military Operation," problems with rotations and leave;...

5/ "We're already giving out six million rubles [$73,000] for voluntary mobilisation to the SVO [Special Military Operation]. Soon we'll be giving out seven million, or even eight. And the influx isn't particularly impressive. A teaspoon a day, drip-drip."

Ukrainian soldiers captured an Indian national. Majoti Sahil Mohamed Hussein, a 22-year-old citizen of India, spent only three days on the front line. He said he came to Russia to study but was caught with drugs and sentenced to seven years in prison.
