Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) a annoncé une baisse de 17% de son budget pour 2026 et la suppression de 2.900 postes à cause de coupes dans l'aide internationale. Depuis le retour au pouvoir de Donald Trump, les États-Unis ont réduit drastiquement leurs contributions dans l'aide.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Yes. Although I would say outraging as I am not surprised by the establishment’s callousness. And, yes, the cruelty is horrifying.
Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
