It looks like #Israel using US type of W54 tactical nuclear bombs in #Palestine's region of #Gaza. This will cause and leave radiation.
A new video documents the Israeli occupation's use of advanced missiles to demolish the remaining homes in eastern Gaza - missiles resembling "miniature nuclear bombs" that erase what's left of the city's features.

Millions of Americans won’t receive their SNAP benefits next month thanks to Trump’s shutdown.
He’s refusing to use USDA contingency funds to keep the program afloat — after gutting it to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations in his big, ugly bill.

By Appellant’s Notice filed on the 8 August 2025 the Secretary of State for the Home Department appeals the decision of Mr Justice Chamberlain, sitting in the Administrative Court, dated 6 August 2025, by which he dismissed her objection on alternative remedy grounds to the Claimant’s application for permission to claim judicial review. Mr Justice Chamberlain determined as a preliminary issue that an application to the Defendant to deproscribe Palestine Action, coupled with an appeal to the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission, is not a suitable remedy.

Remember, there wasn’t one “little black book” of contacts.
There were several.
And they weren’t “little”

That Alexander Acosta deal is just so weird. In March 2005, the Palm Beach Police began a 13m undercover investigation of Epstein, inc a search of his home, based on reports that he was involved with sex trafficking of minors. The FBI investigation resulted in a 53-page indictment in June 2007.
Epstein’s affection for young women was no secret.
As Donald Trump put it in New York Magazine in 2002, “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
