Hundreds killed in Haiti drone strikes, including 60 civilians, Human Rights Watch says Explosive drone strikes by Haitian security ​forces targeting gangs have killed over 1,200 people, including 43 adult civilians and 17 children, Human Rights ‌Watch said in a report on Tuesday, adding...

Important story. In Haiti, a spinoff company of the infamous defense contractor Blackwater, is using explosive laden drones to kill suspected gang members. VERY slippery slope that 🇺🇸 private companies are deploying this tech: www.reuters.com/world/americ...

“.. For the American consumer, things are getting very real, very fast: average gasoline price is now up by 19.9% over the past 10 days ... that eclipses the move in 2022 and is now the largest spike we've seen in the history of the data going back to 2004.” ⛽️

This race isn’t over.

Northwest Georgia showed up in a BIG way, and now we head to a runoff.

Momentum is real. The coalition is growing.

Let’s finish what we started.

On to the runoff. #GA14

Neguse on Noem: Clearly the president was embarrassed by the corruption and the fraud — the self-dealing that we exposed during the course of this hearing. But I also think he was perhaps envious of it.

Sen. Blumenthal: I emerged from this briefing on Iran as dissatisfied and angry as I have from any briefing in my 15 years in the Senate. I am most concerned about the threat to American lives. We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

Ummm who made the decision to reject Ukraine/Zelensky’s offer to provide us with anti-drone tech that we now just did a 180 on? That person needs to be fired. Rejecting their offer is a #Benghazi sized blunder.

Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6 YouTube video by American Historical Association

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.
