Мир може бути, якщо діяти сильно та рішуче. Звернення Володимира Зеленського 28.07.2025
«Сьогодні є надзвичайно вагома заява Президента Трампа. І це правда – саме Росія робить усе, аби зірвати мирні зусилля та затягнути війну. Щоночі – удари, по...YouTube
Since taking office, #Trump has abandoned #US efforts to tackle #GlobalWarming. He also has moved to roll back virtually every federal policy aimed at curbing #GreenhouseGases from the burning of #oil, #gas & #coal. His admin has encouraged more production & use of #FossilFuels while stifling the growth of #CleanEnergy & #EVs.
Those #regulations, which were based on the #endangerment finding, were a fundamental part of the #Biden admin’s efforts to move the country away from #gasoline-powered vehicles. The transportation sector is the largest source of #GreenhouseGas emissions in the #US.
The #Trump #EPA intends to argue that imposing #climate regulations on #automakers poses the real harm to human #health because it would lead to higher prices & reduced consumer choice…. [what?]
#PEPFAR, as the program is called, would cease to exist as an initiative to provide medicines & services needed to treat & prevent the spread of #HIV in #LowIncome countries.
It would be replaced by “bilateral relationships” with low-income countries focused on the detection of #outbreaks that could threaten the #US & the creation of new markets for American drugs & technologies, acc/to the documents.

A #Venezuelan #immigrant took the first step on Thursday toward suing the #US for what he says was his #WrongfulDetention & removal to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador.
Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel, 27, spent 4 months in the Terrorism Confinement Center, or #CECOT, where he said he was beaten & abused. He filed an administrative claim on Thurs with the #DHS, accusing US #immigration agencies of removing him without #DueProcess.
The parliamentarian is a businesswoman & fmr board member at #Twitter, the social media site that #Musk acquired in 2022 & rebranded as #X.
“Its control,” Lane Fox said of #Starlink, “rests solely with Musk, allowing his whims to dictate access to vital infrastructure.”
Musk’s political #influence, & his massive business with the #US federal govt, are now being put to the test. Since leaving his role advising #Trump, Musk has publicly feuded with the president….
The #US Department of #Defense declined to comment. Reuters couldn’t determine whether #WhiteHouse or #Pentagon officials after the shutdown had any exchanges with #Musk over the outage.
The #Kherson episode is distinct from an earlier report of an incident that purportedly occurred that same September, involving #Crimea just to the south, & raised concerns about Musk’s ability to influence the conflict in #Ukraine.
This account of the outage, & the growing #dependence on #Musk by governments & militaries worldwide, is based on interviews with >3 dozen people with knowledge of #SpaceX operations & the company’s #technology. These people included current & former employees, #US & #Europe military officials, & senior politicians & diplomats.
The reporting puts a spotlight on Musk’s #control of services now #critical to countries including the US, which has about $22B in contracts w/SpaceX.
“There needs to be some contractual assurances” that #Musk won’t cut off services to the #US govt, said Lori Garver, a fmr deputy administrator of #NASA. “We will need to consider how comfortable the US will be at putting #SpaceX in the critical path on #NationalSecurity.”
As countries increasingly rely on #tech companies for everything from #CyberDefense to #DataStorage, the question of #dependence on one or a few dominant service providers will apply to other nations, too.
Building the facility in the #Everglades & naming it after a notorious federal prison were meant as deterrents, #DeSantis & other #Republican ofcls have said.
The #Trump admin has delighted in the area’s remoteness & the fact that it is teeming w/ pythons & alligators. It hopes to convey a message to detainees & the rest of the world that repercussions will be severe if the #immigration laws of the #US are not followed.

But #Netanyahu's remarks suggested #Israel's position had hardened overnight.
#US envoy #SteveWitkoff said overnight #Hamas was to blame for the impasse, & Netanyahu said Witkoff had got it right.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said on Facebook that the talks had been constructive, & criticised Witkoff's remarks as aimed at exerting pressure on Israel's behalf.
#Trump dismissed #Macron's move. "What he says doesn't matter," he told reporters at the White House. "He's a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn't carry weight."
#Israel & the #US withdrew their delegations on Thurs from the #ceasefire talks in Qatar, hours after #Hamas submitted its response to a #truce proposal.
Sources initially said on Thursday that the Israeli withdrawal was only for consultations & did not necessarily mean the talks had reached a crisis.

The provenance of this image is not given, so take it with a grain of salt. But it does fit the description given in the Wall Street Journal article that broke the news of Trump's letter to Epstein.

"The #letter [to #JeffreyEpstein] bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy.... several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker... and the future president’s signature is a squiggly “Donald” below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.
The letter concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”"
