🇺🇦 Zelensky: "There is not a single power plant in Ukraine that has not suffered from Russian attacks, but we are fighting"

After each strike, we try to restore everything as quickly as possible.

While diplomatic processes are underway, Russia's strikes continue.

New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices — despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time.

The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four.

Corporate greed is out of control.

Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades.

In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?”

They were skeptical.
There's arguably no effective way for any future administration to undo the strategic damage being done to the U.S.'s relations with these and other states.

No matter what we do, the U.S. will be seen as an untrustworthy, craven & mercurial "partner"—something simply to be endured or hedged.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.
That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase “Quick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

There are victim statements, witnesses, court documents and years of video and images that show Trump and Epstein were partners in crime, and they preyed upon young underaged gilrs. There is no doubt. #Accountability #Justice @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Trump’s word salad explanation of his pardon of Zhao, the founder of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange and a money launderer, will confound future historians who will wonder why they can find no substantive public commentary of the president’s dementia.
