As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

1/ Russian warbloggers continue to be furious that, as one puts it, "our oil refineries continue to leave the chat". They are turning their anger on "oil barons" who, they suspect, are happy to see refineries exploding if it boosts their profits. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/maks...

#Ukraine says goodbye to Andrii Parubii, ex-head of Ukrainian Parliament, famous politician and a true patriot of Ukraine. I knew Andrii well and had a lot of respect for him. Today, his murderer was caught and according to his statements, Russia might have a connection to the murder.
Putin's top propagandist and a former economics professor at the University of Alabama, Vladimir Solovyov, threatened that Russia would “march on Paris” after France’s President Macron called Putin "a predator and an ogre at our doorstep".
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Swiss/French writer, Alain Bonnet, aka Alain Soral. He’s best known for his rabid antisemitism and for his pathetic support for all the worst authoritarian regimes from Russia to North Korea. 1/22

I spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and thanked him for all the support. We are closely coordinating our efforts. In fact, Russia has stolen from peace, brazenly taking a significant part of this year. This fall, we must do everything possible to strengthen our positions.

Why would it be? ruzzia has an economy smaller than California’s, India and China define the concept of “band of hostile brothers” and this IR wonkery has made the same prediction since the 1950s.
The EU is pushing for stricter documentation from gas importers to prove origin, aiming to enforce its Russian gas ban by 2028. A draft seen by Reuters shows importers may soon need to verify that no Russian gas is mixed in, a move that could reshape LNG flows and compliance across Europe.

🤬🤬 Explosions in Kyiv right now In the middle of the morning russia is not pursuing any military targets now, attacking the city during working hours when there are many people on the streets.
The United States is now Putin's deportation partner. Russian political refugees who sought safety in the U.S. are being returned on charter flights. Upon return, they face hours-long interrogations by security services. 🧵Here's what is known about the latest flight:

⚡️ Russia, China sign 'most ambitious' Power of Siberia-2 pipeline deal. The deal, long delayed by Beijing's hard bargaining over prices and volumes, cements Moscow's pivot to Asia as it loses access to European energy markets.
Every day the news from Europe is like “Russian cyberattack cripples fire alarms in preschools, EU responds by reducing amount of natural gas it buys from Russia by 1% and revoking symbolic honors given to General Chechenkiller (retired since 2007).”

The russian terrorist state doesn’t respect any rules. Western countries respecting rules when it comes to russia is effectively surrender. The only way to restore a rules-based international order is to fight nasty, fight dirty, and destroy the russian terrorist state now.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

💥💥Ukrainian aviation dropped a guided bomb and demolished a massive elevator in Kherson region. Turns out occupiers turned it into a training center for drone operators and a command post. ✅ Found fast, buried even faster.

‼️ /1. The first publicly known combat use of the Flamingo cruise missile has been reported against Russian targets in Crimea, near Armyansk. The strike hit an FSB outpost and several patrol hovercraft. The attack took place early on 30 August 2025.
NATO should launch anti-radiation missiles and destroy GPS jamming stations on the territory of the russian terrorist state. Do it today. It is intolerable that NATO members submit to relentless and escalating attacks by russian terrorists and never defend themselves.
⚡️ Ukraine says it destroyed 2 Russian Mi-8 helicopters, tugboat in occupied Crimea, shares footage. Drones struck the Russian military air base in Hvardiiske near Simferopol, destroying helicopters worth an estimated $20–30 million, according to HUR.
Another batch of russians will never tell how they fought in Ukraine, thanks to the specialists from Ivan Franko Group.
A small but curious detail: how Putin and Aliyev were greeted in China.
No!

⚡️ Ukraine destroys Russian S-300 radar in occupied Crimea, military says. Radars serve as the "eyes" of an air defense system — without them, anti-aircraft units are effectively blind and unable to operate.
Seems like a good day for a reminder about the thousands of lawsuits against Donald Trump and his companies, millions in fines for unpaid work, 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, countless liens for stiffing contractors, and 4 corporate bankruptcies.

Somewhere in the Belgorod region of Russia on August 26, eight officers of the Russian FSB were killed at once as a result of a missile strike.

⚡️ Zelensky announces faster air defense deliveries after deadly Russian strikes. "We are accelerating the supply of additional air defense systems to enhance protection against missiles," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Our Falcons are in the sky again - Heading South. 💥🫡 The occupiers thought it was calm? No, it’s just the silence before Ukrainian fire.
So right on schedule, Kremlin spokesperson Peskov just denied Russia jammed GPS signal for Ursula von der Leyen’s plane. In case you needed more proofs it’s them.
Yet another of Trump's two-week deadlines for Russia ends today. Ready for absolutely nothing to happen?
🤯An emergency landing was made by a plane with Ursula von der Leyen in Bulgaria: all because of the operation of the russian EW system, – FT.
Air raid sirens all over Sweden. They test it at 15.00 on the first Monday of each month. Feels more real than ever before now though.
