I spent 100 hours over the past week researching, writing and editing the piece we just put out.

It’s a scenario, not a prediction like most of our work. But it was rigorously constructed, dismissing it outright requires the kind of intellectual laziness that tends to get expensive.

And we’ve released it for free. Hopefully you enjoy it.

Another brutal attack on our civilian population: Russians have just struck a passenger train in Shostka, Sumy region, using Shahed drones.

About 30 people have been injured and are being hospitalized. Emergency services, medics, and railway workers are on site, assisting the victims and assessing the damage.

This was a deliberate strike on civilians – yet another act of terror that the world must not ignore. Ukraine needs more air-defense systems, tougher sanctions, and decisive action from partners who must stand for humanity over terror.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I'm alarmed by reported plans by Israel to expand ground operations in Gaza.

I emphasize the @UN will not participate in any operation that doesn't adhere to international law & humanitarian principles - humanity, impartiality, independence & neutrality.

I reiterate my appeal for the full support of @UNRWA’s work.

And I reject the repeated displacement of the population – along with any question of forced displacement outside of Gaza.

🚨 BREAKING: In the midst of war, 𝕏 remains the #1 News App in India.

People are placing their trust in 𝕏 over traditional media, and Community Notes is playing a key role in debunking false rumors in real time.

Even the Prime Minister of New Zealand gets it. As President Trump has repeatedly said, stop the killing!! An unconditional 30 day ceasefire first and, during it, move into comprehensive peace discussions. Not the other way around.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In Kyiv today with @EmmanuelMacron, @_FriedrichMerz, and @DonaldTusk.

Russia must agree to a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire to create the space for talks on a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

Every step we take towards that is another step towards security and prosperity in the UK.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Following the Coalition of the Willing meeting in Kyiv, all five leaders @ZelenskyyUa @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @donaldtusk @Keir_Starmer had a fruitful call with @POTUS focused on peace efforts.

Ukraine and all allies are ready for a full unconditional ceasefire on land, air, and at sea for at least 30 days starting already on Monday.

If Russia agrees and effective monitoring is ensured, a durable ceasefire and confidence-building measures can pave the way to peace negotiations.

. @SecDef under the previous admin. “If you jumped over the border war, or you walked onto sovereign US soil, you were greeted probably with a blanket…

When @POTUS was elected he followed through on his promise and said we will get 100% OPERATIONAL CONTROL of the southern border.”

@xAI has acquired @X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion ($45B less $12B debt).

Since its founding two years ago, xAI has rapidly become one of the leading AI labs in the world, building models and data centers at unprecedented speed and scale.

X is the digital town square where more than 600M active users go to find the real-time source of ground truth and, in the last two years, has been transformed into one of the most efficient companies in the world, positioning it to deliver scalable future growth.

xAI and X’s futures are intertwined. Today, we officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent. This combination will unlock immense potential by blending xAI’s advanced AI capability and expertise with X’s massive reach. The combined company will deliver smarter, more meaningful experiences to billions of people while staying true to our core mission of seeking truth and advancing knowledge. This will allow us to build a platform that doesn’t just reflect the world but actively accelerates human progress.

I would like to recognize the hardcore dedication of everyone at xAI and X that has brought us to this point. This is just the beginning.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

We really should.

Doesn’t make sense for America to pay for the defense of Europe.

The Vietnam war brought acute tension between 🇸🇪 and 🇺🇸, which even included not accepting a 🇸🇪 Ambassador in DC, but intelligence and some technology links were deliberately isolated from this and kept intact. Are times different now? https://t.co/PEUjbebV5g
