TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
I wish people had higher standards for our military and didn’t just accept our war crimes as part of the gig
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Amazing how much damage one malignant narcissist can cause.

I was honoured to support The Hague Group over the weekend. If your government has not yet agreed to join Hague Group measures, to uphold their obligations under international law, please organise and pressure them to do so!
Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦♂️

Sanchez is correct in refusing to allow the US to use joint military bases to carry out their war crimes against the people of Iran. He demonstrates real spine here, and models leadership to the rest of Europe.
The Ukrainian drone operators of the Prymary group have been productive once again, striking following targets:
- Project 22460 patrol ship
- S-400 radar system
- Forpost UAV
- Project 1496M1 tugboat
- Project 16640 vessel
- BK-16 landing craft
- Ka-27 helicopter
Ukrainian President made a surprise visit at the frontline, this time in Druzhivka. The city is one of the fortress cities in Donetsk region and the very heart of the free Donetsk region which Russians desperately have been trying to take for 4 years and now want to get for free.
Swedish forces boarded and detained the Russian shadow fleet vessel „Caffa“ (9143611). The sanctioned vessel was declared stateless.
Previously, this merchant vessel was involved in theft of Ukrainian grain and was also connected with activities of PMC Wagner in Africa.
The moment an Ukrainian UAV struck in Armavir, Krasnodar region, in Russia.
Some at Foxnews did their homework and remembered who stood by the US as well as has the right tools for the threat which is currently haunting the Middle East.
While Russia is helping Iran targeting and killing US soldiers, Ukraine is helping to prevent that.
The „Yunk“ oil depot in Armavir, Krasnodar region, in Russia has been struck. Two fires can be seen.
The people in Hungary are showing that they have enough of Orban.
Ukrainian forces using ATACMS and Stormshadow/SCALP-EG missiles targeted the Russian Shahed base in the Russian-occupied Donetsk airport and wiped it out.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Apocalyptic scenes from Koohsar Blvd. in the Shahran neighbourhood of northwestern Tehran.
Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
If we examine the origins of the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes. (1/3)
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.
While one would like to buy into Rubio’s pearl clutching, it’s worth noting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has openly admitted to setting aside the rules of engagement—who’s to say he doesn’t have the same attitude toward international law? trib.al/erGMwRo
"I think what we’re seeing is 11-year-olds with the most powerful military in the entire world, which is a pretty scary thing to see in action. And also, doesn’t it really look, from the New York Times reporting at least, like Netanyahu just bulldozed Trump into this?" trib.al/PSNogHK
What sick people conservatives are.

It’s incredibly bleak to watch the Trump administration treat a war with real death and real suffering like it’s a video game.
“Not only wrong, unbalanced, no comprehension [of] the horror of war,” writer Peter Oborne said. “This video is evil.” trib.al/BE8aZvP
"Trump has squandered some of the country’s greatest sources of strength. By repelling nearly all of America’s allies—alliances that are among the best instruments of leverage Washington has in the world—he has paid China and Russia enormous dividends." trib.al/xEevF1z
