Surprise!
Reuters confirms that Kushner & Witkoff met in private with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy in Miami to help draft the new “peace plan” for Ukraine. This leaves the administration wide open to serious counterintelligence & influence-risk concerns.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

Before a single strike, several lawyers raised red flags:
• No self-defense justification
• No organized armed group attacking Americans
• No legal basis for killing civilians
These concerns were documented and ignored — they appear to have been executions.

The brutality of the Trump-Putin alliance that has been unleashed on Ukraine in recent days is staggering. It comes as no surprise, but it is still shocking.
Whether it likes it or not, Europe has become the last stronghold of the rule of law.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
