He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Seems troubling.

More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Dropkick Murphys finish up their set at a benefit show across from Alex Pretti Memorial: “We’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. thank we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.

Costa Rica gets back to nature after decades of deforestation Paying farmers to swap cattle for conservation has helped sway the balance in biodiversity’s favour

Where Ireland has failed, Costa Rica has succeeded ... and then some!

Want to listen to one of the cult leaders? This grifting delusional contemptible PoS is the SPIRITUAL ADVISER to Trump, telling him that we are in a religious war against Islam that the Second Iran War is the culmination of. These lunatics will cause WW3.

I hesitate to even take the time to call this pathetic, I've just never seen anyone in Congress as spineless as Mike Johnson and that is saying something

The 2026 volume of #ArkeolojiBilimleri #Dergisi - Turkish Journal of Archaeological Sciences is out and browsing latest insight into curent #archaeology is as fascinating as ever, but I'd particularly want to point out that wonderful illustrated cover …

Not at all convinced that's the most, or even *an*, ethical outcome to this whole story, tbh:

Relooted: the South African video game where players take back artefacts from western museums Creators say they’re offering Africans a ‘hopeful, utopian feeling’ of retrieving objects looted by colonial armies

Matrilineal networks may be the key to understanding Neanderthal mixture A new study focusing on the X chromosome finds repeated maternal dispersal bias in Neanderthal and modern evolution.

I'm pretty excited about a new study of the African influence on Neanderthal X chromosomes. It's because a pattern of dispersal of early modern people based on matrilineal kin networks makes a lot of sense.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

It appears we may have replaced Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei

We learned today that Israel BOMBED the building it THOUGHT was the site of Iranian leaders choosing a new Ayatollah today.

So the NYT should be very clear on Trump and Netanyahu wanting ABSOLUTE CHAOS in Iran, not someone they can negotiate with.

Do better, NYT. Please, finally, do better.

So now we go to war because of this demented man's "feelings"?

Six Americans are already dead, and 800+ overall, because of his fucking *feelings*?

Seventh Immigrant Dies in ICE Custody This Year Lorth Sim, a Cambodian national, died in ICE custody on Monday according to an announcement sent to Congress today, marking the seventh detained death of 2026 and nearly the 40th since Trump took…

BREAKING: Seventh Immigrant Dies in ICE Custody This Year

EXCLUSIVE: Evidence Indicates Jeffrey Epstein Was Key to 2016 Pro-Trump Election Meddling So much attention has been paid to Epstein's serial sex crimes that we've spent too little time asking whether Trump owes his political career to a dead pedophilic rapist he can’t stop lying about.

(🚨) This is just the beginning. But it is one hell of a beginning. You will never see the Epstein Scandal the same way again.

And Part II is on the way.

Ludovic Slimak on Neanderthals: ‘It was suicide. Humans disappear when they no longer want to live because their values ​​have collapsed’ The French paleoanthropologist discusses his book ‘The Last Neanderthal,’ and provides clues about his latest discovery: ‘It’s possible that other, completely unknown human populations existed’

Trump promises billions in aid to Gaza as Israeli airstrikes reportedly kill 12 Palestinians Trump's Board of Peace does not mention Gaza in its charter, instead hinting at a way to swerve accountability to the United Nations.

The astonishing amount of fraud, deception, and graft that will be associated with the so-called Board of Peace is going to BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK.

I doubt humanity has ever encountered as dark and diseased an operation as this one will be, if it even survives the decade.

If Epstein was murdered—as 65% believe, per polls—two foreign nationals are leading suspects.

Both appear repeatedly in the Epstein Files, so they *should* appear on the 300-person DOJ list just published that included Elvis, Bono, and Cher.

They don't.

PROOF will have more soon.

NOTE

I am not suicidal; I don't drink or do drugs; my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal; I don't engage in high-risk activities; my vehicles are well kept and newly serviced.

If anything happens to me, please assume foul play and only let state agents—not federal—access my data and drafts.

UPDATE: What I'm working on with respect to Epstein is so encompassing and sourced that it's far too long to release all at once. I'll publish the first part at PROOF Monday night and you'll see exactly what I mean. This is a story no other outlet has covered. sethabramson.substack.com
