Nükleer çılgınlık kapıda mı? Biz de katılacak mıyız?
Bana göre, şu kaotik dünyada karşılaşılması normal, basit bir tesadüf… Bir başkasına göre belki kaderin garip bir cilvesi… Her nasıl tanımlanırsa tanımlansın, geçtiğimiz haftanın gelecekte bir referan...

New: Binance holds 87% of the Trump family's stablecoin—$4.7 billion—a higher concentration than any other major stablecoin has at any single exchange.

Its U.S. affiliate holds $1,119.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

An independent media is vital for democracy. Access to information enables all people to make decisions and hold the powerful to account.

A world without journalism is a world without truth.

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

NEW: Ghislaine Maxwell is set to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer all questions related to Epstein, Trump, and more during tomorrow’s deposition. Rep. Ro Khanna has sent the following letter to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer in response:
Two-page image of a formal letter on U.S. House of Representatives letterhead, dated February 8, 2026, addressed to Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The letter states that Ghislaine Maxwell plans to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at an upcoming House Oversight deposition and criticizes her intent to do so on a blanket basis rather than question by question. It notes her prior meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and requests clarity on whether she will invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to specific questions. Page one lists six detailed questions concerning alleged co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minors, the lack of indictments, Maxwell’s knowledge of prosecutorial decisions, any role involving President Donald Trump, discussions of a potential presidential pardon in exchange for silence, and any client lists or records maintained by Maxwell or Epstein. Page two adds a seventh question asking Maxwell to identify any foreign governments or intelligence services, including those linked to Russia or Israel, with which Epstein allegedly shared information or acted on behalf of. The letter asks that this document be entered into the official record at the start of the deposition and closes with a formal sign-off and signature from Congressman Ro Khanna, Member of Congress, U.S. House of Representatives.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
