Unless Alaska has been handed over to Putin ahead of the summit, Trump will still be well inside the US on Friday – not in Russia.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.
Jos tämä jäi lukematta, niin lue nyt. HS pääsi mukaan Gazan avustuslennolle, Jordanian kuljetuskoneen kyytiin.
”Tämän lähemmäs emme mekään pääse, mutta tämä riittää näyttämään kaiken.”

Maanpuolustuksen harrastajille kenties tärkeää asiaa: kiristyssiteiden väärä käyttö aiheuttanut Ukrainassa tuhansia turhia amputaatioita ja kuolemia.
Mutta en tod. ole asiantuntija, joten toivon että sellaiset ottavat tarvittaessa kantaa!

RFK & Trump doing what they can to ensure fewer Americans live to see the brave new tomorrow: RFK cancels nearly $500M of grants & contracts for developing mRNA vaccines. In May, they revoked a nearly $600M contract to Moderna to develop a vaccine against bird flu.

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?
The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize.
And they've saved literally millions of lives already.

Very moving to accompany the families of the last seven identified victims of the Srebrenica genocide.
Senajid Avdić, Hariz Mujić, Rifet Gabelić, Hasib Omerović, Sejdalija Allić, Amir Mujičić, and Fata Bektić— we won’t forget their names, nor all the 8,372 victims of this infamy.

Fick läskig rapport från Jonas, svensk läkare som jobbar i en stabiliseringspunkt - en akutsjukstuga vid fronten i östra Ukraina.
Ständigt nya sårade från slagfältet - och Jonas med kolleger beskjuts också. Jag frågade om jag fick dela hans rapport. Han sa ja.

After two years as the CEO of X Corp, Linda Yaccarino announced that she’s stepping down from her role on Wednesday morning. This comes a day after Grok, X’s chatbot, went on antisemitic tirades—even praising Adolf Hitler.
More to come.
The fact i launched largest drone attack of the war yet just shows how much Ukraine doesn't want peace.

Federal government H1/25
Revenue +2.9% y/y (oil&gas -5.7%, other +12.7%)
Expenditures +20.2%
Deficit closer to 2% of GDP. Low oil prices and decelerating growth => lower revenue growth
War => high expenditure growth

Meanwhile, Russia launches an 8 hour attack as the U.S. betrays Ukraine.
And FFS can Trump stop calling Putin? Every single time this is the result
Hours after Putin spoke to Trump
And a few days after the US announced it would cut supplies of Ukrainian air defense
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
ICE fund vs. world's top defense budgets United States China Russia India Saudi Arabia United Kingdom Japan Australia France Ukraine Germany Poland Turkey South Korea Canada ICE Italy Israel Netherlands Brazil Switzerland $126.0 billion $75.0 billion $74.8 billion $71.5 billion $57.0 billion $55.7 billion $55.0 billion $53.7 billion $50.0 billion $48.7 billion $47.0 billion $46.3 billion $41.0 billion $37.5 billion _$30.9 billion $30.5 billion $27.0 billion $26.1 billion $25.0 billion
ICE now has more funding than the military in Israel, Italy, Brazil and elsewhere.
