A journalist does her actual job and asks a difficult question to Donald Trump regarding the Epstein files: Trump: “You’re a terrible person and a terrible reporter. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and is so wrong.” In the court of Trump, he only wants fawning sycophants surrounding him and shuts down, threatens and demeans anyone who has the guts to question or stand up to him. The diametric opposite of what freedom of speech should stand for.

Israel just appealed to the United Nations Security Council accusing Iran of using banned cluster munitions. The same Israel that: — Has used white phosphorus in Lebanon documented by Human Rights Watch — Struck a girls’ elementary school in Minab killing 175 children — Issued blanket pre-authorization to assassinate any Iranian official without case by case approval — Struck journalist Steve Sweeney while he was reporting — Destroyed a residential building in Beirut — Struck South Pars Gas Field without telling Washington Is now appealing to the UN Security Council over banned weapons. Cluster munitions are banned under the Convention on Cluster Munitions. Israel has not signed that convention. Neither has the United States. Neither has Iran. The country appealing to international law is the same country that told the UN its rules don’t apply when you are strong enough ruthless enough and powerful enough. Netanyahu said evil overcomes good if you have enough power. Now he wants the UN to enforce the rules. For everyone else. Never stop connecting the dots.

Pete Hegseth just declared he only wants Christian prayers for this war. No Jewish prayers. No Muslim prayers. He even dictates how you should pray. This is the Secretary of Defense acting like a religious dictator. Absolute insanity.

Jeffrey Sachs: all the countries that try to blame Iran for a war started by the USA and Israel, host US bases and are themselves occupied by the USA, they are not independent regimes. They fear a US knife in their backs.

Humans are powerful because we use words to cooperate and build things together. But what happens when something else is able to use words better than us? In conversation with Irene Tracey, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford at @wef 2026 in Davos. Watch the whole thing: bit.ly/YNH-WEF

@SecScottBessent So, basically, remove sanctions on Russia, remove sanctions on Iranian oil, send 5000 troops into harm's way, ask Congress for another 200 billion, keep the same regime in place, and recover none of the 60% enriched uranium. Oh, and bomb a girl's school, killing 170. Nice job!

Japanese Reporter: "Why didn't you tell US allies about the war before attacking Iran?" Donald Trump: "Who knows better about surprises than Japan. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

"How Did You Not Plan For This?"

BREAKING : Spanish 🇪🇸 PM Pedro Sánchez roars against Trump in Parliament "Trump is someone who will set the world on fire & then blame smoke caused by that. He has been wrong for 18 days of war. I urge everyone to call him out" 🔥 Sánchez earned RESPECT for courage 🫡

French journalist Marine Vlahovic was found dead in her home in Marseille while working on a documentary covering Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Imagine you’re a Palestinian, sitting outside your home, trying to find a moment of peace in a place your family has lived for generations. Suddenly, Israeli settlers appear, assaulting you, backed by the army. A scene that is hard to put into words.

Israeli MK Meirav Cohen delivered a powerful speech in the Knesset on settler terrorism in the West Bank: “This is terror, and it is Jewish terror..... It’s not ‘just a few bad apples.’... The politicians excusing this violence are complicit.”

Q: You have said the US military has aerial and naval superiority over Iran, yet we're not escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. How did you not plan for this? HEGSETH: We planned for it. We recognize it. Um, because ultimately, we want to do it sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we want to achieve.
