BBC asks court to permit Jack Smith to sit for deposition in Trump's $10 billion defamation suit vs the media organization:

Smith has "strong evidence" that the January 6th violence was "foreseeable to Trump, that he caused it, and that he and his co-conspirators leveraged it”

The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds

Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed — “one way or another”.

The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.

The vitamin K shot virtually eliminated a severe bleeding disorder for newborns. Many doctors spent their full careers without seeing a case.

But as with other conditions we thought were eradicated, babies are now showing up to ERs with its symptoms.

Trump was warned about intelligence concerns involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang before their May trip to China, per The New York Times.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly delivered the warning aboard Air Force One. US intelligence had identified a woman involved with Huang as a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

The report cuts against Trump’s comments this week; on Monday, he said he was “amazed” by the allegations. China denies them.

Garcia responds: "It appears Donald Trump has something to hide. Let's be clear: Congress' authority comes from Article I of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House … We are a co-equal branch of government and will not be deterred by baseless threats from a weaponized DOJ or from the President's lawyers."

Update: CBS: The head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council vowed Wednesday that Tehran would not allow the removal of "even a single particle of enriched nuclear material" from the country, casting doubt on diplomatic efforts as the U.S. has long sought a peace deal that would see Iran give up its enriched uranium.

NEW: Iran and Russia are cooperating to counter US efforts to stop weapons shipments to Iran via the Caspian Sea and land routes. Iran has used its Caspian Sea trade routes with Russia to import Russian arms before and during the 2026 US-Israel-Iran War, which prompted Ukraine to strike a shipment in July 2026. (1/2)

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.

30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
