Trump's White House tried to dodge a vote on the Epstein files. It failed.
President Donald Trump's administration for weeks tried to stall or head off a vote in Congress to force the release of investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein, but nonetheless the measure is expected to land on his desk as soon as Wednesday.

UK 🇬🇧 Ministry of Defence (MOD) image of Russian spy ship Yantar, presumably in or near UK waters.
Note that the ROV (remote operated vehicle, a deep-sea robot) A-frame is deployed (red). It’s doing something on the seabed.
Also two new radomes (yellow)

Ukraine's FP-5 'Flamingo' cruise missile has a reported range of 3,000km and a warhead of 1,000kg. This makes it much longer ranged and harder hitting than other reported types. It can logically hit targets in Russia other Ukrainian systems cannot

Trump appears to be engineering a situation in which he could invoke the Insurrection Act. Democracy (feeble and partial as it is) offends his every instinct, and he will do whatever he can to snuff it out.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
Escalating to escalate.
