Glenn Close: "I've watched our democracy be systematically undermined and destroyed, along with the institutions that, though imperfect, helped stabilize our society and support the American people. I'm angry and disgusted by what's happening under the Trump regime. The cruelty, inhumanity, arrogance, rampant corruption, cowardice, vile hypocrisy, blatant manipulation of facts, and now, the cold-blooded killing of US citizens."
Father Mychal Judge, a Catholic priest and FDNY chaplain, entered the North Tower alongside firefighters and remained at the command post in the lobby, administering last rites and comforting firefighters and victims.
When the South Tower collapsed, the resulting blast of debris fatally struck him, making Father Judge the first officially recorded casualty of the September 11 attacks.
I am grateful to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney for his invitation to Canada. We have begun our bilateral visit and very substantive talks.
We have built excellent relations between our nations and strong, reliable relations between our governments. I am grateful for every package of assistance and for everything Canada has done throughout this war. We truly appreciate it. To achieve peace, we need to be strong. We need a strong and lasting peace for our country. And we are grateful to have such strong friends as Canada with us on this path.
Today, we are discussing the winter support package and energy. This is very important. Today, we have a significant decision from Canada – a very important assistance package for air defense. There is a severe global shortage of such systems and the missiles for them, and we are grateful for this support.
I am very glad to be here among friends. Thank you for your support – support for Ukraine, Ukrainians, our children, our sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A GERMAN OFFICER PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD.
He could have saved himself by handing over 200 Jewish American soldiers.
Instead, he looked the Major in the eye and said:
🔥“We are all Jews here.”🔥
Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds was 25. Knoxville, Tennessee. Highest-ranking American NCO at Stalag IX-A near Ziegenhain, Germany.
He had been captured in the Battle of the Bulge. About 1,275 American prisoners were under him. Roughly 200 of them were Jewish.
January 1945. The Germans ordered the Jewish POWs to report the next morning. Edmonds knew what that order meant. He had already watched Jewish soldiers get pulled out at the last camp.
That night he told his men they were not doing it.
The next morning every American fell out in front of the barracks.
Major Siegmann looked at the formation and said they could not all be Jews.
Edmonds answered:
“We are all Jews here.”
Siegmann put a Luger to his forehead.
Edmonds did not move.
He told the major the Geneva Convention only required name, rank, and serial number.
If he pulled the trigger, he would have to shoot all of them and after the war he would be tried for war crimes.
The major walked away.
About 200 Jewish Americans were not separated that morning.
Roddie Edmonds came home and almost never talked about it. He told his family some things were too hard. He died in 1985.
Years later his son Chris Googled his father’s name for a school project and found a survivor who said he owed Edmonds his life.
In 2015, Yad Vashem named Roddie Edmonds Righteous Among the Nations. First American serviceman ever given that honor.
One of only a handful of Americans on the list.
He did not give a speech.
He gave one sentence with a gun to his head.
Remember his name.
Master Sgt. Roderick “Roddie” Edmonds. 1919–1985. 🇺🇸

Ashley St. Clair, mother of one of Elon Musk's children, walked away from a proposed $40 million nondisclosure agreement rather than accept sweeping restrictions on what she could say about the billionaire.

Take a look at these pedophile pigs that sexually abused children under the age of 11. They all got off with a slap on the wrist serving NO jail time. Instead, they only got a $75,000 bond, home incarceration & wearing a GPS ankle monitor. 🤬 https://t.co/QGazDJq1x7
🕊️LAUREN GRANDCOLAS, 38. THREE MONTHS PREGNANT.
She was supposed to be home in California with her husband Jack.
Instead, from the cabin of Flight 93, she left him one last voicemail calm, steady, no panic in her voice:
"We're having a little problem on the plane. I'm totally fine. I just love you more than anything, just know that. Please tell my family I love them too."
She and her unborn child are memorialized together at the Flight 93 site. A mother's love, even in her final moments. 💔🇺🇸

It’s a scheme by Elon to grab your data and to possibly change your vote as he’s done before. It tricks you into thinking that you are checking your voter registration.

🇺🇸 25 Heroes of 9/11 You Don’t Know: #1 Peter Ganci
He was 54. Chief of Department. The highest-ranking uniformed firefighter in New York.
Peter J. Ganci Jr. joined the FDNY in 1968. He had been a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. He worked engines and ladders in Brooklyn and the Bronx. He crawled into a burning apartment and pulled a child out. He once answered a trapped-firefighter call from home in shorts and boat shoes. He liked to say he had 11,000 kids.
He lived in North Massapequa with his wife, Kathleen. They had three children: Peter, Chris, and Danielle. The night of September 10 he fell asleep during a movie with Chris.
The next morning he raced from Brooklyn headquarters with Chief Dan Nigro. Over the bridge Nigro said it would be the worst day of their lives.
Ganci set the command post on West Street, on a ramp into a garage. He sent companies up both towers. When the South Tower came down they went into the garage. The basement filled with dust. They found a stair and came up. He ordered the post moved north, away from the building that was still standing.
Then he went south.
Firefighters told him to leave. He waved them on. Giuliani saw him minutes before and said, “God bless you, Pete.” Ganci told his aide they would need more trucks for search and recovery. He was still on the radio when the North Tower came down.
They found him that afternoon where the first command post had been. They knew him by the patent leather shoes. The radio was with him.
He was the only Chief of Department in FDNY history to die in the line of duty.
He left behind Kathleen, Peter, Chris, and Danielle. Peter was already FDNY, Ladder 111 in Brooklyn. He was working that morning. Chris became FDNY. Danielle married a firefighter.
He is memorialized at the South Pool on Panel S-17.
Never forget Peter Ganci.
Elon Musk’s Super PAC launched a website (https://t.co/QT5PyEkUHu) that mimics the official non-partisan website where you can check your voter registration status.
Musk’s website collects your personal information and your IP address, browser operating screen size, and more in an effort to trick the American people.
This is alarming.
🚨 🇮🇶 IRAQ: She was bought and sold seven times in three months. Then, she stood up before the United Nations, forced the world to look her in the eye, and became a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
August 3, 2014. Kocho, Iraq. Nadia Murad was 21 when ISIS surrounded her Yazidi village. What followed was genocide. Men and boys were taken away and executed.
Six of Nadia’s brothers were killed. Her mother was murdered and buried in a mass grave. Nadia was taken. In Mosul, she became property in the eyes of her captors.
Bought. Sold. Traded seven times in ninety days. She was beaten, burned, and repeatedly sexually assaulted.
When Nadia tried to escape, she was caught. The punishment was horrific. Six men gang-raped her until she lost consciousness.
She was beaten until she couldn’t walk. They wanted to destroy her spirit.
They failed. In November 2014, Nadia saw an unlocked door. She ran.
A local Muslim family risked their lives to hide her and help her escape ISIS territory. Eventually, Nadia reached a refugee camp.
Then Germany. She was finally free. She could have disappeared into a quiet life. Instead, she spoke. In December 2015, Nadia stood before the UN Security Council.
She was 22. Her words were fearless. She described girls being sold like cattle. Mothers murdered. A culture being erased. The world listened.
In 2016, the UN recognized the genocide against the Yazidis. But Nadia wasn’t finished. She turned survival into action.
In 2018, she founded Nadia’s Initiative, helping rebuild villages, schools, and clinics while supporting survivors seeking justice.
That same year, at 25, Nadia became the first Iraqi woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The world applauded.
Nadia looked toward those still captive. For her, that was the prize that mattered— their freedom. She continues speaking for the thousands killed and those still missing.
Every telling carries pain. But silence carries a cost too. Nadia transformed suffering into purpose. Trauma into testimony. Survival into a demand for justice.
ISIS tried to reduce her to property. History remembers her by her name. Nadia Murad.
Not because she escaped what happened—but because she survived, stood before the world, and refused to let silence have the final word.
GERMANY 🇩🇪 is deploying their 45th Armored Brigade to #Lithuania to defend NATOs eastern flank 🇱🇹
This is the first permanent #German combat brigade stationed abroad since WWII.
5000 men and more than 2000 pieces of combat equipment will be stationed close to the #Belarusian border.
THANK YOU GERMANY FOR PROTECTING EUROPE 🇪🇺🫡🇩🇪
Since the Roman Empire and even before, a hidden Luciferian cult has allegedly ruled from the shadows, committing horrific acts against children.
When the truth is finally exposed, the world will be shocked by what has been hidden.
No mercy for those who harm children.
En tant que contribuable français, je souhaite également que l'Ukraine continue d'avoir des aides financières de mon pays pour se défendre.

1 month after 75-million-year-old dinosaur fossils were discovered in a Utah National monument, Trump declared the fossils were "not unique," stripped the land's protections, and reduced the size of the protected land by 90%.
