Zelenskyy: β€œUkraine’s experience in countering Shahed drones is recognised by all American experts.

β€œEven countries that tried to independently use interceptor drones have realized that without Ukrainian specialists and technologies, it works much worse.”

The Trump administration keeps repeating they β€œtotally destroyed Iran’s nuclear program”. It’s a line that’s designed to deflect.

What really matters is Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium which is enough to make 10-12 nukes.

The bombing last June failed completely. It’s still there.

The tool, called HODIO (Spanish for Footprint of Hatred and Polarisation), will track the presence, spread, and impact of online hate speech as part of a broader oversight of SM platforms.

Per Mediaite:

The Pentagon spent β€œ$2 million on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $15.1 million on ribeye steak, and $1 million on salmon…272 orders of doughnuts for $139,224 and ice cream machines for $124,000.”

In September 2025 alone.

I am trying to wrap my head around the fact this happened in a very pro choice, blue state Maryland.

and an astronomical amount of shellfish, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagonβ€”the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.

BARCS is currently overflowing with Huskies and we are urgently seeking rescue partners to help us with 7 friends who are still waiting for placement. Typically, these beautiful dogs are adopted quickly, but for reasons we can’t quite explain, these pups are still searching for their homes.

The image shows a group of chickens walking up a ramp into a structure designed to look like a classic flying saucer UFO. The UFO is standing on metal legs, with circular windows and a row of orange lights around its edge. Beneath the UFO, the ground is illuminated with bright green light, adding to the extraterrestrial theme. The scene takes place in a fenced backyard with fallen leaves on the ground and a wooden privacy fence in the background. The whimsical design suggests that the UFO is actually being used as a chicken coop.
