Russia explicitly annexed Crimea in 2014, and four Ukrainian mainland regions in 2022. Furthermore, the Russian war in Ukraine includes a form of genocide.
The Eroding World Order and Possible Proliferation of WMDs
As the territory of a smaller power is annexed by an official nuclear-weapon state and permanent UN Security Council member, many countries may deem acquiring WMDs to be legitimate and necessary.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Breaking: The Trump administration announces that they will not be complying with today’s deadline to release the full Epstein Files.

They insist the files will be released in the next “couple weeks.”

Kimbal Musk has publicly admitted that he and his brother Elon were in the country illegally for years before applying for citizenship—so unless they admitted this on their immigration forms, they must be deported immediately.

Every journalist should be buzzing about this.

This photo of @kim.senate.gov clearing trash in the Capitol rotunda after the Jan. 6 attack was, for many, the first 'introduction' to the senator from New Jersey. How fortunate we are to have elected officials like Andy Kim, who continue to protect our country and Constitution

Later, Olson copped to giving a sermon in 2022 in which he said that “transgenderism, homosexuality, fornication, and all sorts of sexual perversions” are forms of hypocrisy that come from “shame on the inside.” He ALSO said his beliefs won't affect his work as a judge, though, so no need to worry!

Olson went on to, uh, explain the context, but I promise it is not especially illuminating. Lots of discussion of “eunuchs,” just to give you a sense of where this man’s head is at while the Senate considers him for a life-tenured seat on the federal bench.

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

This is truly bizarre, the work of a deranged man with serious psychological problems and clearly unfit for the office of president.

What’s remarkable and most worrying is that no one is prepared to tell him it’s inappropriate and wrong for a President to do this kind of thing. America is truly lost.

Zack Polanski has said the BBC is not fit for purpose, that's because it is stuffed with Tory plants picked by US billionaires.

The only solution is to clear it out, fire the Chairman, fire the board, fire the executive directors, fire everyone in management.

And start anew.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Following today’s sentencing of Paul Doyle, several people have understandably queried why he was not banned from driving for life.

It’s a good question, and one I attempted to grapple with in #NothingButTheTruth in the context of repeat driving offenders.

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.

That's 'too expensive'.

But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.
