Mike Johnson: Tonight we have created a new award. We are going to do something we've never done before. We will honor him with a new award. He is the first ever recipient of the America first award. That is this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the golden era.
The Pears Foundation new report on Countering Online Conspiracies in Schools is well worth a read. It makes it very clear schools have become a frontline in the fight against conspiracy theories, and need serious support. counteringconspiracies.publicfirst.co.uk/Commission_i...

Les négociations 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 de Genève se sont à nouveau soldées par un échec. C'est déjà la 17e séquence officielle de discussions de la Présidence Trump.
A chaque fois pourtant, "We've made a lot of progress" 🤔.

Head of US cyber defense agency CISA Madhu Gottumukkala uploaded sensitive documents into public ChatGPT, prompting a DHS investigation.
Unreal levels of incompetence.
As previously reported we did not find any evidence Pretti’s gun fired. CBS News has also reported that a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) review for Congress of the shooting states that Pretti’s gun wasn’t fired and confirmed two agents fired their guns.

Selon le statut de Rome de la CPI, couper l’électricité en hiver entrainant une impossibilité de se chauffer, d'accès à l’eau, est considéré comme une atteinte à la survie des civils & constitue un crime de guerre, voire un crime contre l’humanité en cas d’attaques généralisées ou systématiques (6)
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
Good morning on Day 1427 of the war in Europe.
It was another difficult night for Ukrainians as Russia continued its genocidal policy by continuing to hit heating and power targets.
The is THE daily thread - just one guy still going strong every single day!
I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump).

After the Trump admin started deleting video evidence of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot from a DOJ server, a law firm secured a judge's order requiring the U.S. to restore the files. The firm has now partnered w/ @archive.org to permanently store them 👇 archive.org/details/@jan...
1/Quick thoughts on Venezuela oil and what it means for world politics. Rather than a simple story of corporate oligarchy, more about Trump putting himself at the center of spoils that can be used to consolidate power i.e neo-royalism.

4/But with Trump's comments from yesterday you see a different picture. He is putting himself at the center of a set of private goods that he can then distribute selectively. Very similar to the deals over exemptions and investments from the tariffs.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7
Donald Trump affirme, dans une interview au New York Times, que seule "sa propre moralité" constitue une limite à son pouvoir.

I spent weeks watching hundreds of videos from Jan 6th to place them in time and space as part of a collaboration with Richard Engel, and I can categorically say this version of events is bullshit.
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries
TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

Trump said: “Russia wants Ukraine to succeed.”
Kharkiv today: two Russian ballistic missile strikes in a residential neighborhood. Two killed, 25 injured.
This is what Moscow’s “success” looks like.
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead
Avant, ce genre de vidéos était rare car interdite (pour ne pas donner des indications aux câbleurs russes sur le succès ou l'échec de leurs frappes).
Maintenant ?
Cela n'a plus d'importance car les Russes ne visent plus rien de précis : juste frapper des immeubles pour tuer des civils.
La dernière prison de Viktoriia Roshchyna.
« Son corps a été restitué avec plusieurs parties manquantes, notamment au niveau du cerveau, du larynx et des globes oculaires, ce qui correspondrait à une possible tentative de dissimuler les raisons de sa mort. »
Three years ago, @michaelsheldon.bsky.social and I identified Ochur-Suge Mongush as the Russian soldier who castrated and murdered a Ukrainian POW in Pryvillia.
Mongush was apparently given a medal (the "Order of Courage") and is fighting in Ukraine again.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
Sans surprise, Witkoff est plus que jamais au cœur des relations russo-américaines. Il est adoré Vladimir Poutine et il retourne à Moscou la semaine prochaine…
Meanwhile, near Zelenyi Hai, yet another new massacre of surrendered Ukrainian soldiers.
And remember these are only the ones captured on drone cameras.
Deep State reports the 5 were lined up, interrogated, then murdered.
Yet Trump + Witkoff still want to make grubby deals🤮
