Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says.
However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Nazi salutes in week one.
State-sanctioned ethnic cleansing in week four.
But all the scumbag apologists who dared to talk about ‘over-reaction’ are still too bent and/or invested to row back.

The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

A rather unusual long meteor track this evening at 1812 UTC, based on reports it seems to have gone W to E directly overhead here in Herne Bay and broken up as it went over the sea. I would be interested to see reports from elsewhere as the long track is quite something!

I've just seen an absolutely stunning meteor heading west to east at about 6.11pm UK time. It was too quick to get footage, but it was amazingly bright with a long tail. Completely silent but very ethereal. Amazing.
