It is so difficult to understand why Trump launched his Iran operation - an op so clearly damaging to US national interests, the global economy, Ukraine and the US’ closest allies in Europe and the Gulf.
Then there is this….
🎥WHO PLACED THE BET?
Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday.
Was it luck, or inside information?
Either way... someone just got rich.

I don't think you will see this clipped up by LBC because it shows Ferrari handed his arse by someone who knows what they are talking about. In this case by Sir Richard Dalton a former senior member of the British Diplomatic Service. The question and response at 3'20" is a personal favourite - Ferrari's head nearly explodes when he's told 'What a daft question?'. Enjoy.
We've added to our reporting on the shooting of Alex Pretti. This video looks in further detail at bystander video footage - and analyses the Trump administration's description of the events that day. It's produced with my colleagues at BBC Verify. https://t.co/Ib1Pvk7grk
🚨🔥HOLY SMOKES: Thom Tillis just went nuclear on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller:

BREAKING: Vice president JD Vance just acknowledged that the Trump administration is covering up the evidence in the ICE killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
He just claimed that the ICE agent has "absolute immunity" from prosecution.
Don't tell me they're not the Gestapo.
As Zelensky visits the White House and gets bullied again, remember this clip of Marco Rubio explaining the U.S. promised to defend Ukraine FOREVER if they gave up their nukes when the USSR fell.
That’s why Lil Marco hides. He hoped we wouldn’t find it. Don’t share it right now.
When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave an answer that redefines what it means to be a civilized society.
It isn't about politics or ideology. It is about how we treat the most vulnerable among us.
In 1983, Steve Jobs predicted the next 50 years of technology.
His predictions:

10 futuristic predictions from this talk that came true:

He was 💯 right.
Every single word.
When I was Minister of Defence, we shared critical satellite intelligence with the Ukrainians *over the objections* of the Obama Administration.
This thread is must read. The conclusion is simultaneously eye- popping and utterly predictable. The ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine delivered by the White House seems to have been translated from Russian into English. In other words it’s the Kremlin plan that Trump seems to be passing off as American, and is telling Ukraine it must accept
I uploaded verified images of the “peace” document to Grok.
I prompted, “Analyze this document from a logistic perspective. It is in English, but assess whether or not it has been translated. If so, what is the likely language of the original?” 🧵
