Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said out loud, what we all already knew. Donald Trump started the Iran war to cover up his involvement in Epstein Files.

It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out. Be very afraid Trump.

At least SOME countries are doing somethings about the Epstein files. DO BETTER AMERICA
This is fucking ridiculous. Reverse Citizens United already ffs!
This is everything
This the best response I have seen so far: Ukraine's MFA spokesperson Tykhy says Iran threatening Kyiv while supplying Russia with drones for years and citing UN Article 51 is like a serial killer justifying murder by quoting the penal code.
Hyperbolic title. However…solid, factual information and analysis.
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.
Fireworks night in occupied Luhansk.
Ukraine's "birds" have provided the entertainment - it looks like they found a weapons store in Dovzhansk.
Some suggest Russia stored air defence missiles there.

But seriously, how fucking dumb do you have to be to run a dark money influence op on a professional influence op researcher and her influence op former reporter boyfriend? Just insane dummies. Vote Kat and she'll out this shit in Congress constantly.
The Mensa crowd in Trump's cabinet are workshopping ideas about how to get around the Strait of Hormuz.
They’ve found another immigrant tragically dead on the street after being released from ICE custody.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion
Imagine how many people 11.3 Billion dollars could feed- in the US, in Sudan, in Gaza- imagine all the starving children in this world
Tomorrow is March 15–the Ides of March. If only our current Senators would do their job. 😉

Mayor Zohran Mamdani establishes first-ever Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appoints attorney Taylor Brown as director, making her the first transgender person to ever lead NYC office or agency.
JUST IN: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 President Zelensky says Ukraine has intelligence showing Russia is assisting Iran in targeting US assets in the Middle East.
Glory to Ukraine! Andrii Lshchenko our hero along with the those who served with him!
NEW: The DOGE deposition videos a judge ordered removed from YouTube on Friday after they had gone massively viral have since been backed up across the internet, including as a torrent and to the Internet Archive
Pavel Talankin is a teacher from a small mining town in Central Russia.
He spent two and a half years documenting how his school was conscripted into Putin’s war propaganda machine for the Oscar-nominated documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin.
"DOJ — which had been known as a place where some of the best lawyers would take a pay cut to work at, because the opportunities for exciting, important work were so plentiful and the colleagues were of such high quality — is not DOJ any longer.
There is no other way to say it."
It seems obvious, but it appears some people still need this explained to them. 🤔 #Iran #IranWar #DiplomacyMatters
In the short term, methane emissions are more damaging than fossil fuels.
In early 2026, the Trump regime significantly dismantled #federalmethaneregulations as part of a broader deregulatory push for the American energy sector
My latest on Russia’s Matryoshka operation and the bots that are spreading fake stories about Ukraine to inflame tensions to help keep Russia’s puppet Orbán in power.
These bots were just focused on Epstein conspiracies and local German elections, and now have shifted to Hungary.
Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.
