👀 The situation on the channels of Russian voenkors after today's news about the restrictions on the work of Telegram in Russia.

So now we know why Trump is Putin's puppet - Putin bought him for money

Was Epstein a Russian asset?, by @alexzfinley

The president who has believes that Italian military satellites were used to hack voting machines in a joint CIA-Chinese operation has sent his intelligence chief to look for evidence of voter fraud. What could go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

In this Ohio diner, Attia still means the index theorem and the book on commutative algebra. But they do know this: if the woke mob won't let an Epstein associate spread anti-vaccine misinformation on a major network every Whiskey Friday, then freedom really is dead.

Trump: ‘We should take over the voting’ Trump, as usual, offered no evidence for any of his claims.

President Donald Trump urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under national authority Monday — one of his most explicit signals yet that he plans to interfere with the workings of democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump Drops Demand for Cash From Harvard After Stiff Resistance

Harvard University refused to cave to President Trump's extortion demands, even as other universities and leading law firms kowtowed. And now, Trump has dropped his demands for a $200 million payout to the US government. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

There were also other issues

So let’s identify the list.

1. Nonpayment
2. Decline in demand
3. Lack of working capital
4. Unavailability of borrowed funds (can’t get a loan)
5. Taxes

And the US plans to send ICE for "security" to the winter olympics in Italy???

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

No. No. No!

This is critical research. It's not even centered on climate. It's solar physics! It's geomagnetic storms! It's space weather! It's sunspots!

It's a research center needed for satellites and spaceflight!

If you don't believe me, just listen to the wife of the guy who is pushing this policy. It is a means to selectively target and remove some of the 26 million naturalized citizens they don't like. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Europe needs a doctrine to halt Putin’s expansionist ambitions The Russian president’s specious justifications for the war in Ukraine mean he won’t stop there. But time is running out for Europe to formulate a defence strategy, writes Gabrielius Landsbergis.

“Europe no longer lives on a convenient timeline. We need a strategy now. If the West does not formulate its doctrine for Europe’s future, Putin will formulate it for us.”

Sounds about right.

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.

One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.

The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Forget the far right. The kids want a ‘United States of Europe.’ Based on social media, the upcoming generation is expressing more European solidarity than the continent has seen in decades.

Or, to quote Pete Townsend, “The kids are alright”

It’s Gen X that’s alt right

In any case, US’s EU policy is stepping in it.

DataRepublica... & @DataRep..•9h ... The topline claim: Fuentes's "influence" did not emerge entirely organically. Instead, it was manufactured by unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign engagement patterns, the kind normally associated with coordinated manipulation networks.

Lmao over on X “Data Republican”, has just discovered that inauthentic amplification is a thing.

Nick Fuentes’ X followers may not all be authentic American humans. His posts…may be amplified by bots. Fuentes ratioed Elon…but maybe it wasn’t really real. 🤣

PUBLIC FBI And Secret Service Are Covering Up Their Role In Alleged January 6 "Pipe Bomb" Plot, New Evidence Suggests Video footage shows multiple agencies may have lied about the alleged explosive devices and mishandled their investigations

Either way, it should have been a scandal. There was either a catastrophic security failure that resulted in the near-death of the Vice President, which is scandalous in its own right and even more so considering that there was no investigation of it, or the bombs were not real or "viable." In that case, the FBI, the Capitol Police, the Secret Service, and senior government officials, including perhaps even Vice President Harris, have lied to the American people. The Secret Service and the Capitol Police did not respond to our request for comment. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment and directed Public to the agency's pipe bomb webpage and most recent statement.

BOMBGATE: This Video Proves FBI Is Covering Up The Truth About The January 6 "Bomb" We must be blunt: the FBl is a dangerous, politicized, and rogue agency that must be brought to heel

Since there’s been an arrest made in the pipe bombing case I want to take a moment to resurface the reporting of Michael Shellenberger, founder of Public & University of Austin Chair of Censorship Hoaxes. He did a media blitz “just asking questions” ab if the 💣 were a “disinfo campaign” by the FBI.
