Interrupting a question directed at someone else with “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” is perhaps one of the worst and eyebrow-raising ways Trump could have responded
Trump: Are you still talking about Epstein?!? This guy has been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this creep? I can’t believe you’re asking a question about Epstein…

“If a [nuclear] weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threat— that does not give you a right to self-defense.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social explains to Piers Morgan why Israel’s strikes on Iran were preventive, not preemptive — and therefore illegal under international law.

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it.
Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.

To recap: Israeli military uses human shields by embedding military headquarters, munitions, and even bombing launchpads in civilian areas, they hide in tunnels, and operate out of these underground tunnels to evade their enemy.
