"The United States has threatened to cut intelligence sharing and weapons supplies for Ukraine to press it into agreeing to the framework of a U.S.-brokered peace deal," sources tell Reuters. Presumably this includes blocking Europe-funded sales? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Willapa Bay in Southwest Washington is know around the world for its oysters, but every summer it also turns into a shark superhighway. Northwest researchers have been trying to figure out why, and they have some turned up some clues.

Whining about chain retailers and media putting Christmas on blast too early is acceptable. Criticizing friends, family and rando SM acquaintances for decorating “too early” is not. The right time to put up a tree is when you feel like it.

I’m not sure I see the logic in continuing to teach but stepping back from, like, making public appearances? The issue is with behavior while teaching. Why would it do anything to, like, step off the lecture circuit or whatever? That’s emphatically not the problem.

Because it’s obviously going to pass the House with or without his consent. In any case, his post was very weaselly about actually *releasing* the files, which, as president, he could have done long ago.
In a dramatic reversal, Trump now says House Republicans should vote for a measure calling for the release of the Epstein files, essentially a concession that he cannot stop the resolution from being passed. @ashleyahn88.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.
