Russia has joined US-backed efforts to mediate security arrangement between Israel and Syria. Moscow is advocating for the redeployment of Russian forces to southern Syria near the Israeli border, a presence Israel favors over growing Turkish influence. US views Russia’s involvement as “unavoidable”

I don’t know why we’d trust the federal government again. This is evil for the sake of it. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

A major loss for Trump and his goons.

The Supreme Court blocked President Trump on Tuesday from deploying National Guard troops in Chicago as part of his campaign to use the military to police the streets of Democratic-led cities.

Who are the Venezuelan immigrants Trump sent to CECOT? Earlier this year, our team compiled a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case accounting of 238 Venezuelan men who were held in El Salvador. These are their stories. https://propub.li/492QTqQ

"The hospital was understaffed, and people in the camp were so anemic that they couldn’t get enough blood donations. [Dr.] Otieno had twice donated himself while he was midsurgery in order to save a pregnant woman’s life." @annamaria.bsky.social on the real-world damage done by Trump's aid cuts:

Another discrepancy is the postmark on the letter says “NOVA 220,” which is the Northern Virginia USPS processing center, but Epstein was incarcerated in New York City and any letters mailed from there would most likely have been processed at a USPS facility in or near New York.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

The Trump administration wants to roll back the Oil and Gas Leasing Rule, increasing subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and threatening wildlife habitat and public health. This rule is common sense: Big Oil should clean up their mess, not leave communities to foot the bill.

RFK Jr.'s legacy is a sea of tiny coffins in the US and internationally. Every day he remains in office, the harm he causes grows. Call your representative — it's time Congress impeaches and removes RFK Jr. standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

you wouldn't want a story humanizing Venezuelan men at a time when the Trump administration is trying to enflame tensions to justify illegal militaristic pursuit of Venezuelan precious metal and oil resources, would you? Of course you wouldn't

4 immigrants die in 4 days in ICE private prisons

I don’t think people realize how DEEPLY Ghislaine is protected by the US government right now. It’s why Trump went to England and why Starmer toned down his rhetoric. Trump’s personal def lawyer essentially freed Maxwell. You‘re going to have to read British media, American media won’t touch this.

These charts will give you a sense at how dramatic the increase in the price of gold has been, especially since Trump took office. L: gold prices last 10 years R: gold prices YTD

Gold futures just reached an all time high of over $4,400 an ounce. (Gold prices typically go up when there is economic uncertainty generally and especially when there uncertainty about the stability of the dollar.)

A dangerous pattern of denying federal dollars to blue states (which contribute more than they receive)

The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassador and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of Trump’s “America First” priorities. apnews.com/article/dipl...

If everyone who was appalled at RFK Jr’s completely unhinged week, yelled at their house rep to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against him, we could start an Epstein files style people power movement. @standupforscience.bsky.social TAKE ACTION HERE: Standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

The DOJ released thousands of numerically labeled Epstein files yesterday. In one file was a photo of Trump with young girls. As of this morning, that file EFTA00000468 is now missing from the DOJ website. They deleted it. #CoverUp

Without a doubt!!! #EpsteinFiles

Are you a mediocre white male with a tiny dick who sucks at his job but feels entitled because you’re a little bitch? Trumps EEOC has your back!

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Sean Glendening is the man covering up the Trumpstein files.

Rubio 🤮 is using lifesaving US health aid as leverage to force Zambia into mineral extraction deals. He is dismantling programs that saved millions, extending life expectancy by decades, and replacing partnership with coercion. This is exploitation, not diplomacy!
