Top U.S. Negotiator Warned Europeans That Russia Is Stockpiling Missiles, which brings us to a rather unsettling situation, doesn’t it? The core argument seems to be that Russia is accumulating a large arsenal of missiles, therefore, Ukraine should hasten to accept a less-than-ideal deal. It feels a bit like being told, “The mugger got a bigger knife, so hand over your valuables now.” The logic here appears, to put it mildly, twisted.
Now, consider the implications if this is indeed the strategic thinking from certain corners. It’s almost as if Putin doesn’t need to actually fire his missiles; he’s already getting everything he wants, served on a silver platter.… Continue reading

A recent outbreak of infant botulism has been linked to ByHeart brand powdered formula, with at least 37 infants affected. The California Department of Health found Clostridium botulinum bacteria in an opened can of formula, leading to a nationwide recall of specific batches, and eventually all ByHeart products. Despite the recall, the FDA reports that ByHeart formula remains on store shelves in multiple states, including major retailers. Investigations are underway to determine how the formula became contaminated, with concerns that the outbreak may expand as officials review earlier cases.

A federal judge has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Colorado have been making unlawful arrests of suspected illegal immigrants. The judge found that ICE was making warrantless arrests without probable cause, specifically lacking evidence of a flight risk, and rebuked the agency for detaining individuals with strong community ties. The court sided with four plaintiffs represented by the ACLU, ordering ICE to halt these practices and potentially repay bond money. ICE has indicated it will appeal the decision, arguing against the ruling’s impact on deporting criminal illegal aliens.

Following the release of unredacted files by the House Oversight Committee, several Jeffrey Epstein survivors experienced significant distress and media attention, as outlined in a court filing this week. Lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims reported being contacted by survivors whose identities were exposed, expressing confusion and dismay over the lack of privacy protection. The lawyers specifically cited instances where the Department of Justice appeared to have failed to redact victims’ names in documents provided to the committee. Consequently, the judge ordered the DOJ to clarify its handling of the materials and detail its plan for protecting survivor privacy by December 1st.

In a recent decision, a federal appeals court upheld a nearly $1 million penalty against Donald Trump and attorney Alina Habba for filing a “frivolous” lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and others. The court, comprised of judges from different political backgrounds, found that Trump and Habba engaged in “sanctionable conduct” when they brought the suit three years prior. The lawsuit, alleging a conspiracy to fabricate claims of collusion with Russia, was dismissed by a lower court, which stated that “no reasonable lawyer would have filed” the case in the first place. The ruling is the latest setback for Trump in his attempts to punish political adversaries.

FBI probes gunman’s motive in ambush shooting of Guardsmen near White House
The FBI’s joint terrorism task force is now deeply engrossed in unraveling the motives behind the attack that unfolded on Thanksgiving eve, just a stone’s throw from the White House.

The two National Guard soldiers, who were part of the militarized law enforcement presence authorized months ago by President Trump, were critically wounded in the attack.… Continue reading
Nineteen-year-old college student deported despite judge’s order blocking her removal. This situation immediately sparks a series of unsettling questions and reactions, doesn’t it? The core of the matter seems to be a conflict between a judicial order and the actions of immigration authorities, resulting in the deportation of a young woman who was, at least on paper, protected by the court. The immediate reaction is one of disbelief and, frankly, outrage. The idea of a judge’s ruling being disregarded is a fundamental challenge to the rule of law, and it’s hard not to feel that something deeply wrong has occurred.
The judge in this case appears to have ordered that the deportation not happen.… Continue reading
Made me sick to my stomach: Lawmakers launch bipartisan push to stop Ukraine peace deal they call “Munich-style agreement” – that phrase alone really encapsulates the gut feeling, doesn’t it? It’s not just a deal, it’s something that evokes a historical parallel that’s deeply unsettling. Reading through the rumblings, it’s pretty clear that there’s a strong sentiment – shared across the aisle – that something fishy is brewing. There’s a palpable fear that any potential peace agreement being discussed could be a repeat of history, where concessions are made that ultimately embolden an aggressor and pave the way for future conflict.… Continue reading
