I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

‘Like a horror movie’: Ice detaining German tourist in California indefinitely

“Change your entire business model in a month to appease my insane plans. You’re welcome!”

We are here. The Trump Administration is simultaneously imposing tariffs on Canada (for no reason) while seeking to drop sanctions against Russia (for no reason)...

🇫🇷🇪🇺 Macron: "Europeans can no longer rely on NATO as they once did, because Trump's position has weakened it. We will need 10 years to free ourselves from American influence through massive local and European investment."

The White House has reportedly asked the U.S. State Department and Treasury Department to make a list of sanctions against Russia that could be lifted.

This photo should be seen worldwide! A girl in Zaporizhia spent five hours under the rubble, holding her cat, believing she would be saved. Her home was destroyed. She had three cats—rescuers are searching for the other two. Another tragic face of war against civilians. #StandWithUkraine

Chris Murphy: "Let's remember- congressional Republicans held up Ukraine aid for over 6 months, allowed for Russia to go on the offensive. So even before Donald Trump was president, congressional Republicans were not doing the things necessary to support the most vital fight in defense of democracy"

Demanding Zelenskyy to apologize on camera to Trump and Vance, while simultaneously demanding he negotiates a 'peace deal' with russia—who invaded our country to kill, destroy entire towns, kidnap children, loot, and rape—is probably the most striking cognitive dissonance I've seen.

Pretty much sums it up

Water supply of strategic Baltic island Gotland was sabotaged last night. Someone broke into the pump controls and destroyed them. The pumps serve a large part of Gotland (pop 61k) and had it gone unnoticed could have left all island without water. Security services are notified. Water is ok.

«Khrushchev's mistake»

NEW: The Minerva Research Initiative, established by the Pentagon to fund social science relevant to national security, is being gutted. Dozens of researchers studying threats from extremist groups, misinformation or climate change have received notices that their grants are being terminated. 🧪

Her alleged crime is informing people of their rights

🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying. WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

Elon Musk doesn’t care about government efficiency – and here’s the proof.

I decided to post this video because it shows incredible determination of Ukrainian Defenders to fight and protect their land. Warriors from the 225 Separate Assault Regiment threw bee hives into a basement where Russian soldiers were hiding after they ran out of grenades.

Worth tracking these data closely.

New York Times, Jan. 26, 1935.

You know what happens to American businesses when russia bombs a city in Ukraine? They are bombed, just like the rest of the city.

American businesses have remained operational in Ukraine both before and during the war. Unfortunately, your McDonald's theory is proving ineffective and should not be considered a reliable guarantee.

Netanyahu again orders a complete ban on food, medicine, and other emergency humanitarian aid for people in the Gaza Strip. This is not only an openly acknowledged war crime, it is the exact same one that made the ICC issue an arrest warrant for him and Gallant last year. jpost.com/breaking-new...

Here are rare pictures of a silver beetle... This type is found only in Central America and Costa Rica, and it is pure in color and a rare mineral

Zet Hongarije en Slowakije uit de EU Artikel 7 van het EUVerdrag maakt het mogelijk om een lid stemrecht en EU-financiering te onthouden als die de fundamentele waarden van de EU schendt (zoals democratie, mensenrechten en rechtsstaat). En anders maar een precedent creëren ze er gewoon uit donderen

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Mheanwhile in Britain...😁

A superb analysis of US policy (or its absence) on Ukraine, from @johnsipher.bsky.social tomorrowsaffairs.com/does-trump-e...

Macron: “But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”

Reminder: Trump blocked payment of a congressionally-mandated $400 million military aid package, in an attempt to obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Zelensky. Trump was impeached on charges of abusing the power of his office and obstructing Congress, but was acquitted by the Senate

The deputy speaker of Israel’s parliament and a leading member of Netanyahu’s party calling for the bombing of food stocks in Gaza just a few hours ago. You won’t see this mentioned by any European or American leaders, or by most western media.

⚠️ Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis warns that NATO may be approaching its end, suggesting the potential rise of a new "Organization of the European Treaty" as a replacement. "I think we're moving toward the final days of NATO," he stated.

Wat niet iedereen zich helemaal lijkt te realiseren is dat Trump met het voor de bus gooien van Oekraïne ook het non-proliferatieverdrag indirect door de papierversnipperaar heeft gegooid. Niemand staat ooit nog haar kernwapens af. Sterker nog, velen willen ze vervaardigen.

Holy shit! Check out how angry the crowd is at Republican Rep. Keith Self’s town hall in Wylie, Texas today. That’s another huge angry crowd in a deep red district!

Brutal.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.

BREAKING: WHO BEARS THE MOST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OVAL OFFICE ARGUMENT? WITH 79,312 VOTES 👏

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

A lot of people are going to die from this

US warships will have a harder time refueling in Norway after last nights meltdown. Haltbakk, Norway’s largest* bunker company will from now on refuse to service US warships. According to owner it is a direct reaction in support of Ukraine. Company has previously banned Russian ships. *self-claim

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

Lees hier de ruzie tussen Trump en Zelensky woord voor woord terug….. Volkskrant En vraag ik me af welke diplomatie Zelensky, zoals gesuggereerd bij Nieuwsuur in vredesnaam op had moeten brengen www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/l...
