The hard truth is that, short of using nuclear weapons, the US has now thrown pretty much all it has at its major competitors and adversaries. And none of it has worked or is likely to work. The era of US bullying of the entire world are fast coming to an end. And not before time.

Al Jazeera finds Facebook hosted over 100 paid advertisements promoting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. In the ads approved by Meta were calls for the demolition of Palestinian homes, schools and playgrounds, and fundraising appeals for the Israeli military.

Trump: "I told them years ago that when you tariff other countries it had to be for just a short time. Not a long time. Cos, you know, tariffs are not good, for years and years. Not good at all. In fact, it's very bad. So I told them, cos I know all about tariffs, to keep the tariffs short term."

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

China has just launched a common financial settlement platform that will provide a far more efficient and rapid means of settling trade accounts for Asean nations and others. China's new system allows for payment in digital Renminbi in mere seconds, rather than the 3-5 days the SWIFT system takes.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to work with others to “conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.”

The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of “de-extinction” technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species.

The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave. In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation.

It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation. Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list - not additions. The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist. We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of “de-extinction” technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk.

Since the dawn of our nation, it has been innovation – not regulation – that has spawned American greatness. The revival of the Dire Wolf heralds the advent of a thrilling new era of scientific wonder, showcasing how the concept of “de-extinction” can serve as a bedrock for modern species conservation.

The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage.

Breakthroughs of this nature will inspire leading minds and future generations of innovators to chase the impossible, capture it, and unleash its potential!

The Department of the Interior looks forward to a vibrant future full of innovation that advances core missions such as wildlife conservation.

They burned journalists alive. More journalists have been murdered in Palestine in the past 1.5yrs than ANY "conflict" in history. Why? Because Israel is waging war on the truth. Zionism is akin to nazism - & it is the national ideology of Israel. Israel is a terrorist state. #FreePalestine🇵🇸
