Well this shit aged like milk.
Trump in 2016: We shouldn't have state dinners at all. We should be eating a hamburger on a conference table, and we should make better deals with China and forget the state dinners. The state dinners cost a fortune.

Jersey Strong! Thank you @JoJoFromJerz for your bravery and opening up about this Tinpot Trump dictatorial man and wife (?-in name only) tried to intimidate you into silence. Let your voice continue to ring!
I never in a million years thought the president and First Lady of the United States would be targeting me personally and trying to hurt my kids, just because I used my voice to call them out. jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/…

80% of the world’s population consumes dairy products. 🐄 When common staples like milk are contaminated with microplastics, it’s a wake-up call for systemic change to protect people from toxic plastic chemicals. 🥛 Study: University of Tabriz Learn more: ow.ly/5lhg50ZSitx #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #Microplastics

When the man who investigated Trump firsthand — before Republicans refused to let us see and hear everything he found - says the danger Is "greater than anything he has seen in his lifetime," we should LISTEN. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith didn't mince words: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime." This isn't coming from a political commentator or a random pundit. It's coming from the prosecutor who spent years examining the evidence against Trump, reviewing classified documents, interviewing witnesses, and seeing how power was used behind the scenes. Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, the rule of law is supposed to be the foundation of our democracy. It means NO ONE is above the law, no matter how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are. And, ask yourself, what's the harm in seeing the FACTS!? If Trump didn't do anything wrong, he shouldn't have anything to worry about, right? When someone with Jack Smith's experience warns that the threat is unprecedented, it shouldn't be dismissed because of politics. It should prompt every American to ask what's happening to the institutions that are supposed to protect democracy. 📸 Really American

DOJ just announced an investigation into Kahn and the other executor of Epstein’s estate. They are going to try to bury this and claim they can’t release the files because it’s under investigation.

This is so gutting. The white peak of the Matterhorn is the quintessential symbol of Switzerland, now stripped of its snow and glaciers. Meanwhile, Albert Rösti, our far-right minister of energy, environment and transport, is a climate-denying fossil-fuel lobbyist. Fun times.

🇮🇱 Israeli PM Netanyahu secretly met UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed on Sunday and asked him to deny that he warned Netanyahu of a major Hamas attack days before October 7, a source with firsthand knowledge told Haaretz. Haaretz reported this month that bin Zayed spent 45 minutes on the phone with Netanyahu about ten days before October 7, explicitly warning that Yahya Sinwar was planning a major operation. Netanyahu reportedly said Hamas was focused on the West Bank and never briefed his security chiefs. The New York Times has since confirmed the warning. Netanyahu calls the report an "absolute lie" and has threatened to sue. He also denies reports by The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal that Egypt's intelligence chief repeatedly warned him too.

BREAKING: DEMONSTRATIONS AT 22 @STARBUCKS STORES ACROSS 11 STATES CALL ON COFFEE GIANT TO STOP LYING ABOUT PLASTICS RECYCLING The demonstrations in Massachusetts, New York, Arizona, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Vermont, California, Illinois, Colorado, Washington and Texas are part of a Starbucks Week of Action urging the company to stop telling customers that its single-use plastic cold cups are “widely recyclable,” after a nationwide tracking investigation by Beyond Plastics could not confirm a single cup being recycled. Beyond Plastics, its partners, and demonstrators nationwide are calling on Starbucks to: -Stop portraying its single-use plastic cold cups as “widely recyclable” when the company cannot demonstrate that the cups are actually being recycled at scale. -Remove images and messaging that may lead customers to believe Starbucks plastic cups placed in store recycling bins will be recycled. -Honor existing Starbucks policy of providing reusable cups for beverages consumed inside the store. -Replace plastic cups for their cold drinks with fiber-based cups. “Customers who carefully put their Starbucks cup into a recycling bin with an image of a plastic cold cup on it reasonably expect it to be recycled,” said @enckj, president of Beyond Plastics and a former EPA regional administrator, who plans to join the demonstration at an Albany, NY, store Saturday. “Our investigation found something very different. Not one of the cups we successfully tracked was confirmed recycled. Starbucks needs to stop misleading customers about plastic recycling and focus instead on reducing single-use plastic and expanding reusable and plastic-free alternatives.”

An Iranian cruise missile struck a ship in the Strait of Hormuz two weeks ago, injuring eight U.S. Marines. They suffered smoke inhalation and possible traumatic brain injuries with concussion-like symptoms but were not seriously hurt according to 3 U.S. officials. This comes at a time where U.S. forces have been helping to facilitate the safe passage of vessels crossing the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian drone and missile attacks.

MAJOR BREAKING: New reporting from NBC indicates that EIGHT marines were injured in a recent Iranian attack on a vessel likely transiting the Strait of Hormuz. According to the NBC reporting: “The Marines were not on a U.S. Navy ship, according to the officials. The officials declined to define what type of ship it was, instead referring to it as a maritime vessel.” THESE are the exact type of events that could have seen MULTIPLE Americans killed. It is increasingly clear that the United States is putting TROOPS aboard vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz. End this war. Remove our troops from the region. BEFORE a disaster strikes.
