Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streets—and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.
What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP
He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Maduro's arrest seems to have made a huge impression on the leadership in Tehran and convinced them that the US could indeed take real action against leaders, prompting some of the elite to engage in separate negotiations with the West.

Humanity built the Chernobyl sarcophagus to save the world.
Decades of global effort created a structure to contain radiation after 1986.
In 2025, Russia deliberately struck it with a drone.
This was not war.
It was a crime against humanity’s safety.

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.
