3 Americans reportedly killed and 3 more injured by an ISIS attack in Syria (1 civilian among the dead, the other 5 military personnel).

You may remember Syria as one of those US forever wars that peace president Donald Trump ended, and ISIS a terrorist group that Trump declared totally destroyed.

Ukraine has halted a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea. SBU used long-range drones to strike Lukoil’s Filanovsky platform, causing at least 4 hits. The attack shut down oil and gas extraction from over 20 wells. “Any facility aiding Russia’s war is a legitimate target,” one SBU source said.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

A ceasefire that allows Israel to murder unnoticed, is not a ceasefire: it is a tool to fool. It is a managed apartheid killing field normalized by world powers. For Trump’s Israel-first-bubble, the ceasefire is “holding” so long as only non-Israeli Jews are murdered.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
