🔥 Novorossiysk. Another angle. According to OSINT MT_Anderson , at the time of the strike on S-400 positions there could have been up to 7 launchers.
If this is confirmed by satellite images, then this will probably be the largest single strike on Russian air defense systems.

Some good news.
I love this uplifting story about American crocodiles in south Florida benefitting from ESA and warm water discharges from a nuclear power plant. I would absolutely pay to go net these sweet little babes for science, although the colorblindness wouldn't help. 🐍🌎🧪

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Disgusting.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

Chile-based Arauco has begun building a pulp and paper mill in a Brazilian region that’s been prioritized for conservation.
The project overlaps with the Três Lagoas biodiversity conservation area, where it could potentially contaminate rivers, dry up groundwater and increase wildlife roadkill.

Seems possible that this is about even more than underage women.
Perhaps money changing hands— corruptly and internationally, and intertwined with underaged women?
Man, oh man.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
