"NATO responded immediately and intercepted the Russian aircraft. This is yet another example of reckless Russian behaviour and NATO’s ability to respond," NATO Spokesperson Allison Hart said.

One million satellites are scheduled to join the 11,000 now in orbit around Earth. When these retire, fall, and burn on reentry, their chemicals and minerals remain in our atmosphere. The atmosphere's chemistry will soon have 10x more man-made material than naturally falls in. Good luck with that.

Republicans are making life worse for you and your family. #AllRepublicansFault
Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy.

All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
