Another day, another war crime from Putin. This monster has acted with impunity for years. We need to ensure the Ukrainians have what they need to beat him once and for all.

August in Israel means new beginnings. 🐢🌊🇮🇱
On Gador Beach, baby sea turtles are hatching and making one of the biggest journeys of their lives, their very first journey to the sea.
Tiny steps. A whole ocean ahead. 💙

The Cuban regime has spent decades using front groups to infiltrate, corrupt, and radicalize Americans. Today, I'm sanctioning the leadership of ICAP, which is one of the primary organizations involved in these efforts—including convicted Cuban spy Fernando González Llort—and nine entities that sustain and fund the regime's repressive apparatus.
Anyone supporting, sponsoring, or providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of being sanctioned themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to, or hold funds for, these entities should take immediate action to cease their support.

Looks like we will probably catch the ship with the tower in a few months. If there had been a tower out to sea where we practiced landing the ship, it would have been caught.
First reflight of the ship will be either end of this year or early next. That will be a fork in the road of history for consciousness reaching the stars.
Benjamin Netanyahu on Turkey:
"We will not tolerate a Turkish military entrenchment in Syria that threatens Israel.
We made the message perfectly clear: Don’t.
Apparently they didn’t hear it clearly enough, so we made sure they understand it better."
BREAKING: TGS, a global energy data company has signed a multi-year agreement with Speedcast to deploy a Starlink-led, all-LEO connectivity system across its global seismic fleet.
Centered on Starlink Dedicated Service, the system can transfer up to 10 TB of data daily for near-real-time cloud processing. In testing, eight Starlink Performance kits reached peak upload speeds of 950 Mbps.
🇨🇳 China has sentenced Evergrande founder Xu Jiayin (Hui Ka Yan) to life in prison and fined the company more than $2 billion for large-scale financial fraud.
Once Asia’s richest man with a $45 billion fortune, Xu built Evergrande into China’s second-largest developer by selling unfinished apartments and using the proceeds to buy more land with borrowed money.
When China restricted lending to highly indebted developers in 2020, the company collapsed under more than $300 billion in debt.
The fallout triggered a wave of bankruptcies in the property sector, left hundreds of thousands of buyers with unfinished homes, and contributed to a prolonged slowdown in China’s economy.
🚨 IRAN’S CONSULATE IN INDIA “ANNEXES” CALIFORNIA IN RESPONSE TO TRUMP
The official Iranian Consulate in Hyderabad, India, responded to President Trump’s claim portraying the Strait of Hormuz as “new U.S. territory” with some diplomatic trolling of its own.
The consulate posted a map of the United States highlighting California and labeling it:
“NEW TERRITORY OF ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.”
Ukrainian long-range drones struck the oil refinery in Ufa this morning.
Another piece of bad news for the Russian drivers lining up in front of gas stations across the country.
At least 9 Hamas terrorists were eliminated today by the Israeli Air Force, among them commanders who invaded Israel on October 7.
I’ve said this a thousand times, and I’ll say it again:
Every one of them will be found and pay in full.
IRAN’S NEXT MOVE: KILL AMERICAN TROOPS
Iran is reportedly preparing a two-stage escalation plan against the United States, according to a source close to the IRGC.
Stage 1: Strike energy and civilian infrastructure across Gulf states to create economic chaos and pressure regional governments into pushing Washington to ease its blockade.
Stage 2: If that fails, launch major attacks on U.S. military bases across the Middle East — with the explicit goal of inflicting heavy damage and killing American soldiers.
The report says Israel is not currently part of the initial attack plan, but Tehran understands that a wider confrontation could quickly bring Israel into the war.
There is also a darker calculation: with Iran facing inflation, cash shortages, unemployment and mounting public anger, elements of the regime reportedly believe a war with America could redirect domestic rage toward an external enemy.
This would not be deterrence. It would be a deliberate decision to escalate into direct war with the United States.

🚨 TRUMP DECLARES ‘ECONOMIC D-DAY’ AGAINST IRAN
Trump says any country doing business with Iran will face “TREMENDOUS economic consequences,” targeting oil smuggling, financial transfers, exchange houses, ship registries and front companies.
“Today, I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS economic consequences.”
Trump calls it “ECONOMIC D-DAY” and vows “economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale.”
“IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
My main task for the Minister of Defense of Ukraine is to put our defense system, our production and procurement system, and our supply system to the troops on a truly effective footing, so that those defending life in Ukraine have everything they need to repel Russian attacks, hold our positions on the front, and carry out our active operations. Yevhenii Khmara proved through his service with the SSU’s Alpha Special Operations Center that he does not speak lightly and knows full well that occupiers are not defeated with empty promises.
Great to be in Orlando today to highlight Florida’s landmark investments in cancer research and treatment. Nearly 40% of Floridians will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. We are committed to supporting them and their families in any way we can.
We have increased funding for cancer research to record levels during my time as governor. Initiatives like the Casey DeSantis Cancer Research Program, the Cancer Connect Collaborative, and the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund are supporting patients while enabling researchers to pursue the next generation of treatments and cures.
Today, I was proud to announce the Florida Cancer Innovation Fund awardees who were selected through a competitive application cycle for Fiscal Year 2025-26 funding. We have also opened applications for Fiscal Year 2026-27, in which we are offering $70 million in funding for Florida cancer researchers and innovators—a $10 million increase.
Congratulations to the awardees, and thank you for all you do to make Florida a beacon of hope in cancer research and treatment.
Elon Musk is getting closer to reclaiming his trillionaire status.
