That's mean. I've seen a few resumés for Pierre Poilievre where he claimed to have worked at Dairy Queen. A vague reference to a paper route. But he lives in a 19 room publicly funded mansion with his own private chef and groundskeepers. I'm sure he's negotiated something, somewhere, at some time.

On Earth Day, I want to share a chestnut tree I saw in Kyiv today. We live on such a gorgeous planet. My wish is for no wars on it.

The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports. 15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally. The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.

Day 1519 I'm back again to detail all the important news about Russia's war on Ukraine, fact-checked, and delivered honestly, avoiding the sensationalism and propaganda used by BOTH sides. It's what I've always done, and hope to do until a just peace is delivered. Here's the🧵

In a nutshell. 😊

Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions. He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages. Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

The Israeli Defence Force has committed war crime after war crime. They post their selfies in front of bombed out homes and crushed villages. It is all about ethnic cleansing and destroying the cultural fabric of the Muslim and Christian people in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza.

Welcome to Monday's daily Ukraine thread for Day 1517 of the full Russian invasion. I want to start by asking why, in over 4 years, has @IntlCrimCourt only ever brought war crime charges against 6 Russians, none since this 22 months ago? Putin's only accused of child-abduction😡

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
