Iranian leaders believe that a US strike against the country is inevitable, viewing the question not as "if" Washington will launch another attack, but "when" it will happen. www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

Israel's foremost natsec think tank says Israel's new doctrine rests on these principles 1. Jewish supremacy over democracy. 2. Peace is illusory 3. No such thing as an independent Arab state 4. War is key to security 5. The US is declining, Israel does not need it 6. Settlement is key to security.

Pretty grim stuff. In the second round scenarios, Le Pen beats Philippe 53-47, so there's a path to the center holding there. But if it's everyone's favorite organic farming enthusiast, the right wins in a landslide, 68-32.

Getty Images went public in 2022 at a $4.8B valuation. Four years later, it has $2.1B in debt, a market cap of just $21M, and is preparing to file for bankruptcy. Its attempt to merge with Shutterstock failed after regulators intervened. One of the most notable companies disrupted by AI to date.

Maybe people dont want to engage with the 2026 Africa vs 1939 Europe rationaly because its africa and they have to protect the kangs. Imagine a scenario where modern France and Poland go up against 1939 Germany, USSR and Great Britain + Empire. The 1939 side would still WIN that.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.

To give a sense of scale, Musk is spending more on the midterms than he was on the 2024 election, and he was the biggest donor in that election. In 2025 he promised to pull back from politics and do much less political spending. Another lie.
