At the same time that Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with drones used to attack US targets — in addition to providing intel targeting US warships and aircraft — a group of sanctioned Russian lawmakers was welcomed in Washington for meetings on Capitol Hill. Why is that? 🤨

Putin and his supporters don't want you to know this: 4 years into the full-scale invasion, Russia controls less Ukrainian territory today than it did 4 weeks in. A strategic failure. Map: @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles. We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive. Today, we present our 20th sanctions package. Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy. And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

🔥Details of the GUR special operation to save the life of the commander of RVC Denis Kapustin 🎥A video recording of the operation of two strike drones was created: the first drone flew into the minibus in which Kapustin was, the second filmed the “consequences of the strike” – a burning car.

Putin didn’t want Kellogg. He wouldn’t be pliable enough for Russian demands, and was “too hostile.” Putin wanted a negotiator who “didn’t know much about Russia” and would reliably echo Putin's lines on Ukraine. Hence the insistence that Witkoff meet Putin without U.S. government or CIA officials.

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift
"Tesla Inc. employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage travelled by Tesla vehicles," reads the lawsuit. "In so doing, Defendants can, and do, accelerate the rate of depreciation of the value of Tesla vehicles and also the
expiration of Tesla vehicle warranties to reduce or avoid responsibility for contractually required repairs as well as increase the purchase of its extended warranty policy."

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
