🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Marco Rubio just OBLITERATED Sen. Rosen (D)'s lies
ROSEN: You were at a PARTY instead of helping JD Vance negotiate with Iran!
RUBIO: "You don't know what you're TALKING ABOUT! I know your staff wrote up this CUTE statement for TikTok, but it's NOT TRUE. And it's not real. That's NOT what happened."
"I was not at a party. If people are going to SLANDER me. I'm going to answer it!"
"You're 100% inaccurate and 100% wrong. Here's why. Number one, the vice president of the United States was there...Mr. Witkoff, the president's envoy, and Mr. Kushner, were the team [Trump] sent to Pakistan. I was NOT at a party. I was next to the PRESIDENT."
"Because in the midst of those negotiations, I was in communications with them. And in fact, I think there is media reporting from that evening on how multiple occasions I went into a back room. I came back out and spoke to the president and was constantly updating him."
"On that evening, I spoke to Mr. Kushner and our negotiating team and Mr. Witkoff on at least SIX occasions, including twice on a secure line from the phone they had access to over there!"
"I'm the national security advisor and secretary of state. I was co-located with the president in the midst of a high stakes negotiation so that I could immediately inform him about events occurring halfway around the world."
"I was where I needed to be at that moment because we had a very capable team on the ground in Pakistan, led by the vice president, led by the vice president of the United States."

Drumlins are among the most diagnostic landforms left by the Ice Age, and Randall Carlson argues they are also among the most misunderstood. The conventional explanation treats them as passive accumulations of glacial till shaped by the movement of ice overhead. Randall's reading goes deeper - literally.
The process he describes begins with water under pressure moving through the chaotic substrate beneath a glacier. That pressurised water erodes upward into the base of the ice, creating a distinctive cup-like cavity - almost the inverse form of the drumlin that will eventually result. As the fluvial processes take hold, they begin to organise the disordered glacial material. The physics is consistent and directional - the blunt end of the resulting landform faces into the current, and a long tapered tail extends downstream. The shape of every drumlin is therefore a frozen record of the direction and nature of the subglacial water flow that produced it, making drumlin fields one of the most reliable tools available for reconstructing the hydrology of the Ice Age landscape.

Overnight, the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces targeted and struck the Admiral Grigorovich, a Admiral Grigorovich-class guided-missile frigate with the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet, with a number of one-way attack drones while the ship was pierside at the Port of Novorossiysk. Damage to the ship is currently unclear, however, multiple fires were seen by residents burning along the water in Novorossiysk.
