This exchange between @SenBlumenthal and Trump’s judicial nominees is utterly astounding.

If you can watch this and still think this country isn’t falling into authoritarianism and fascism under Donald Trump, then you are not being honest with yourself.

Voyager is slowly going dark.

NASA has been forced to shut down one of Voyager 1’s science instruments to keep the legendary spacecraft alive.

After nearly 49 years of continuous operation, engineers have officially powered down the Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) sensor on Voyager 1, now located more than 15 billion miles from Earth.

The move was not due to instrument failure, but rather a deliberate survival strategy. The spacecraft’s plutonium-powered generators lose about four watts of electricity every year. By deactivating this instrument, mission controllers hope to prevent a critical power shortage that could cause the entire spacecraft to shut down permanently.

At this immense distance, communication is extremely challenging — it takes roughly 23 hours for a signal to travel one way between Earth and Voyager 1. Although the loss of the particle sensor ends that particular data stream, two other key science instruments remain active, continuing to send back valuable information from interstellar space.

NASA is now exploring even stricter power-saving measures to extend the mission as long as possible. This latest shutdown is expected to buy Voyager 1 at least one more year of operation, allowing humanity’s farthest-reaching explorer to keep sending data from the edge of the solar system and beyond.

The spacecraft may be fading, but its journey is far from over.

Elle a été plongée pendant des heures dans une baignoire d’eau glacée, maintenue sous l’eau encore et encore jusqu’à suffocation. Et pourtant, elle n’a jamais parlé. Pas un mot.

Aujourd’hui, le nom “Miss Dior” évoque le luxe, Paris, l’élégance. Mais derrière ce parfum mythique se cache une femme qui a résisté à la torture de la Gestapo. Cette femme, c’est Catherine Dior.

Née en 1917 dans une famille aisée, elle voit tout s’effondrer avec la crise, mais conserve une force intérieure intacte. Lorsque la guerre éclate, elle aurait pu fuir ou se cacher. Elle choisit de s’engager.

À Cannes, en 1941, sa rencontre avec Hervé des Charbonneries change tout. Elle rejoint la Résistance, au sein du réseau F2, et devient agente de liaison. Elle transporte des informations cruciales sur les mouvements allemands. Chaque message pouvait sauver des vies ou en coûter.

Pendant des mois, elle vit dans l’ombre, au péril de sa vie. Jusqu’à son arrestation, en juillet 1944.

À Paris, elle est interrogée, battue, puis soumise à des méthodes de torture extrêmes. Parmi elles, cette baignoire d’eau glacée dans laquelle on la plonge jusqu’à l’asphyxie, encore et encore. Les heures deviennent des jours. Les jours, des semaines.

Ses bourreaux étaient convaincus que tout le monde finit par céder. Pas elle. Catherine Dior ne donne aucun nom, aucun lieu, aucune information. Son silence sauve des centaines de personnes.

Mais son corps est détruit. Marqué à vie, autant physiquement qu’intérieurement. N’obtenant rien d’elle, ils l’envoient au camp de Ravensbrück, un enfer réservé aux femmes, où la faim, la violence et la mort font partie du quotidien.

Elle survit. Contre toute attente.

Plus tard, elle dira que ce n’est pas seulement une question de force, mais de volonté. Refuser de laisser l’ennemi gagner, même quand tout semble perdu.

Après la guerre, elle revient à Paris. Pas pour retrouver un statut, mais pour reconstruire une vie simple. Elle devient fleuriste.

En 1947, son frère Christian Dior cherche un nom pour son premier parfum. Rien ne lui semble à la hauteur. Jusqu’au jour où Catherine entre dans la pièce.

« Voilà Miss Dior ! » lance Mizza Bricard. Le nom s’impose immédiatement.

Ainsi naît Miss Dior. Un parfum aux notes de rose et de jasmin, inspiré des fleurs que Catherine cultivait. Mais surtout, un hommage discret à une femme brisée et pourtant indomptable.

À la mort de son frère en 1957, Catherine veille sur son héritage, dans l’ombre.

Aujourd’hui, Dior incarne le raffinement. Mais derrière ce nom se cache une histoire bien plus forte : celle d’une femme qui a tenu bon quand tout poussait à céder. ❤️

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

Breaking: US Senators are investigating Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, for getting BILLIONS from the Middle East while shaping U.S. foreign policy.

Do you agree that Trump's family should be thoroughly investigated for financial ties to foreign governments??

BREAKING: Senator Richard Blumenthal emerges ashen-faced from an Iran War briefing and reveals that he has never been so "angry" in his entire 15 career year in Senate.

And the details are jaw-dropping...

"I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate," he told reporters. "I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. However, my questions have been unanswered, and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know."

According to The Washington Post, the United States burned through a staggering $5.6 billion in munitions in just the first two days of the illegal war. This is the same administration that insists that we don't have money for healthcare or social services.

"And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran," Blumenthal continued. "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran, putting in danger American lives."

"Literally, Russia seems to be aiding our enemy actively and intensively with intelligence and perhaps with other means. And China also may be assisting Iran," he continued.

"So the American people deserve to know much more than this administration has told them about the cost of the war, the danger to our sons and daughters in uniform, and the potential for further escalation and widening of this war, a war of choice made by this president, not chosen by the American people, with potentially huge consequences to American lives," the senator added.

That "war of choice" bit is particularly crucial. Trump launched this deadly, evil war on behalf of Israel despite Iran posing no immediate threat to the people of the United States. He's slaughtering men, women, and children and can't even articulate a coherent strategic goal. Meanwhile, he never bothered to get Congressional approval for the war as demanded by the Constitution and he's rapidly burning through our tax dollars.

The mere suggestion that we would put boots on the ground in Iran should horrify every American. In addition to being a morally reprehensible action, it would result in the greatest military disaster in U.S. history. Iran has a population of 93 million people, it's four times larger than Iraq and it's all mountains. Our brave soldiers would be walking into a slaughterhouse.

Please ❤️ and share to demand an end to the war!

[Antony Blinken @ABlinken]

President Trump told CBS today the war with Iran could be over soon.

As I told @davidgura at @business last week, two forces will ultimately shape how and when this ends: markets and munitions.

Watch the oil, stock, and bond markets. And watch our supply of missiles (offensive and interceptors) and that of our regional partners. Expect a declaration of “victory” that trades one ayatollah for another.

[Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye]

"And we came within about 30 minutes of having a war."

Israel tried to pressure Barack Obama to launch military strikes on Iran, according to former US secretary of state Antony Blinken, who said Israeli leaders warned they would attack themselves if Washington refused.

Obama rejected the push for war, arguing the better approach to Iran’s nuclear program was "very muscular diplomacy" backed by global sanctions rather than immediate military action.

Blinken also revealed the US nearly entered another regional war after the October 7 attacks, when Israeli officials gave false information insisting Hezbollah was about to attack from Lebanon and pushed for a pre-emptive strike.

According to Blinken, Washington came within about 30 minutes of a new conflict before the situation was halted.

[ADAM @AdameMedia]

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to make Obama bomb Iran by saying they were going to bomb them with or without them, Obama resisted.

Trump caved to the same tactic.

They have his Epstein tapes.

His real estate company has been bankrolled directly by a former advisor to Vladimir Putin's sovereign wealth fund.

He’s been making pro russia statements for months.

Is corporate America too scared to criticise Donald Trump? The Economist’s editor-in-chief, @zannymb, puts that question to the boss of one of the world's biggest banks. When asked whether there is a climate of fear in America, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says “I think that’s clear".
