Incredible story. And it shows what Ukraine can do when it controls the technology. Relying on satellite imagery from partners is often too slow and restricted. Crazy that this was crowd-funded. https://t.co/VgZHdIHABA
It's crazy how many mainstream journalists are apparently perfectly fine with the mass disclosure of the medical records of vulnerable people; which is just one of the things Julian Assange and Wikileaks did, unapologetically.
Are we on track for the most distorted UK election result ever?
On the latest Political Fix pod, @jburnmurdoch joins @robertshrimsley, @georgewparker and me to discuss forecasts that 'first past the post' will produce the worst-ever mismatch between votes won and seats won at this poll

"The biggest boost in animal welfare in a generation" has to include them.
We need to start jailing people for this. This is fraud that resulted in the mis allocation of huge sums of public money globally. The authors need to be jailed.
Not a joke here. These two are enormously influential, and they are saying out loud what Project 2025 has already written down. Alarm bells should be ringing around the country. This is it.

The Russian embassy in South Africa has posted a fake video of State Dept spokesperson Matthew Miller telling a reporter that Belgorod has no civilians.
The video contains two edited clips from separate briefings on 9 and 28 May, with fake, AI-generated audio overlaid on top.
This is *such* an important point.
