So, today alone: 12 killed and more than 300 wounded by the Houthis; Iran warned ships away from the UAE; a ship was hit by a projectile off the UAE coast; and multiple drones and missiles targeted airports in Saudi Arabia. Sure we will get a Truth Social later about how they are dying to negotiate.

The UK subreddits have been saying that pointing with a pinky like that is the sign for "bad" in Makaton, a simplified form of sign language taught to people with significant special needs in the UK. Seems likely the poor guy had a significant disability.

Trump is pivoting hard toward Russia in the run-up to the midterms, urging the removal of a democratically elected head of state in Ukraine while helping the dictator who launched an unprovoked invasion.

"Kennedy would never be able to do the trial in the US because of its significant ethical concerns, Offit added. “He’s taking advantage of a developing country … Is it because children in Africa are more expendable than children here?”" Yes. That is evident. That and the fact "Bobby" is an evil man.

Kellogg turns against Trump. Former US special envoy for Ukraine, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, says Ukraine should continue striking Russian oil refineries. “This is war. They are attacking correctly,” he said, backing Kyiv’s continued campaign against Russian refining infrastructure. #Ukraine

One senior Ukrainian official responded with bitter humor: “I hope the Americans don’t give them Patriot to protect their oil refineries.” Another said the US move had effectively undermined the idea of an energy truce.

They say Washington simultaneously pressed Kyiv to stop attacking Russian refineries and threatened to cut intelligence sharing that supports strikes inside Russia. Ukraine did not agree to a unilateral halt and insists Russia must also stop attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

The Kyiv Independent paints a stark picture of how the past few days unfolded. Ukrainian officials say they went to Miami to discuss a reciprocal energy ceasefire, only to be blindsided by Trump’s decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports #Ukraine
