Jessy's heartbreaking story touched thousands. She was found in the ruins of a home in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district, waiting for her owner, who had been killed in a Russian missile strike on August 28. 💔

Hi — I’d like to see this shared everywhere as well. It’s an interesting background on Maxwell’s family, her role with managing Epstein’s associates’ pedophilia - and, most intriguingly, the sale of such compromising information to Putin’s intelligence services. european-security.com/cesspool-and...

This is the most important news of the day. Sending Texas guardsmen to Illinois is an intentional, unprecedented provocation. It should be immediately challenged in court. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news and updates on this developing story. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...

Even in this age of police bodycams and bystander videos, there are certain categories of footage that most media organizations won’t share with the public. But it’s hard to imagine today’s media suppressing, as they did in 1937, footage from the anti-labor crackdown that resulted in 10 deaths.
