"None of these people salivating over their future riches are going to make a penny, and perhaps do a lot worse.

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has arrived in Moscow, though his delegation is not officially involved in negotiations on Ukraine.

Beijing wants to be the first to hear the outcomes of the talks 👀👀👀

The Russian negotiators Witkoff/Kushner are back in Moscow to receive new orders from their master.

History will remember you as traitors to democracy and to the American people, whom you are trying to deceive for personal gain. Shame on you😡

What the hell is Jared Kushner doing in high-level talks with Russia — other than finding ways to cash in on the misery of Ukrainians?

PCBs were the original "forever chemicals" before we learned about PFAS compounds 🤓
Monsanto, once the largest makers of a now-banned class of chemicals, agreed to pay the state $120 million and potentially more, under a settlement announced by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul on Monday.

From a Russian: Ukraine is now dropping GPS-equipped mines in the Donetsk region. When they blow up, they get a signal saying where the explosion took place, alerting them to potential russian movement. In response, Ukraine sends drones to those coordinates.

@icrc.org explain yourself👇

Is the US escalating? 👀
Russia is beginning to evacuate Russian citizens from Venezuela.

Special flights are to begin, as reported by ATORUS (Association of Russian Tour Operators).

Is Belarus escalating? 👀
I just spoke with President Gitanas Nausėda.

The situation at the border with Belarus is worsening, with the growing incursions of smuggling balloons into Lithuania’s airspace.

Such hybrid attack by the Lukashenka regime is completely unacceptable.

double-tap strikes are just another tactic picked up from Putin
Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"
