At the same time that Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with drones used to attack US targets — in addition to providing intel targeting US warships and aircraft — a group of sanctioned Russian lawmakers was welcomed in Washington for meetings on Capitol Hill. Why is that? 🤨

Putin and his supporters don't want you to know this: 4 years into the full-scale invasion, Russia controls less Ukrainian territory today than it did 4 weeks in. A strategic failure. Map: @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles. We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive. Today, we present our 20th sanctions package. Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy. And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

🇺🇸👀 NBC reports that members of the US Congress will have full access to Epstein's unredacted files starting next Monday.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

🔥Details of the GUR special operation to save the life of the commander of RVC Denis Kapustin 🎥A video recording of the operation of two strike drones was created: the first drone flew into the minibus in which Kapustin was, the second filmed the “consequences of the strike” – a burning car.

Putin didn’t want Kellogg. He wouldn’t be pliable enough for Russian demands, and was “too hostile.” Putin wanted a negotiator who “didn’t know much about Russia” and would reliably echo Putin's lines on Ukraine. Hence the insistence that Witkoff meet Putin without U.S. government or CIA officials.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: "...Russia has broken all the rules that we have established for our coexistence in Europe since the end of the Second World War, and above all, since overcoming the division of Europe.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Today, May 4, is unofficial Star Wars Day (May the Fourth = May the Force). Today, Ukrainians hold the real sabers and fight the real evil. The following are not just inspiring quotes. They are the truth. "You are the one responsible for your future." "Light always defeats darkness."

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders... Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

Two weeks of Ukraine holding back fire to honor the "ceasefire" while Russia escalated to worst attacks of the war, and it seems Ukraine is no longer playing. Ukrainian drones now in several regions of Russia.

Dodik has fled to Moscow. I pray to God to share the same news with you about Georgia’s dictator sooner than later.

During my latest visit to Kyiv, the @ec.europa.eu delivered a second €1 billion payment to 🇺🇦 Ukraine as part of the G7-led ERA loans initiative. I had great meetings with our partners on Ukraine’s closer integration into the EU. 🤝 The 🇪🇺 EU will continue to #StandWithUkraine

👀 Lithuanian Minister of Defence directly rebukes SecGen Rutte "At this time, there is no confirmed information, there are no bodies of dead soldiers, so saying that there are dead soldiers is incorrect," the minister told the media in Pabradė on Wednesday evening. Lithuanians present only facts.

This is how a damaged house in Kyiv looks like in the morning as a result of an enemy strike

You know what else has lots of “Russian speakers”? Brighton Beach in NY, Sunny Isles in Miami.. to name a few. Start playing this Putin’s game and you’ll “find out.” In short: Capitulation.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Oh man, his cronies are trying to make fetch happen.

Ok, this is the last one

⚡️ France to 'reject any demilitarization of Ukrainian army,' French defense minister says. France will not accept "any demilitarization of the Ukrainian army," French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on March 11, The Guardian reported.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

keeping a tab open watching tesla stock and it might be the best mood enhancer i've ever experienced

One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells* They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic. A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

Mirage-2000 jets shooting down Russian cruise missiles during a Russian attack today! Thank you, France, for making our skies safer! 🇫🇷🇺🇦

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Mar. 2, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
