A U.S. Navy nuclear submarine officer on Gaza: "We swore an oath to our country, but our test is stopping what's happening in Gaza. This isn't war, but systematic killing and starvation. Without America, Israel couldn't commit these crimes."

You cannot retort every accusation against Israel with "We're the only democracy in the Middle East" and then demonise and malign 21% of the electorate for voting because they're Arabs. Netanyahu is an self-preserving authoritarian. Like Trump, there's nothing he won't trade for self-interest.

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Major butter brands in the UK have reduced their standard block sizes from 250g to 200g, a classic example of "shrinkflation" driven by rising dairy sector production costs. Brands like Lurpak, Kerrygold, Anchor, and Country Life have widely transitioned to the smaller 200g block pack format.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

17 years ago, Russia launched its war against Georgia, with aggression starting days earlier. Shelling of Georgian 🇬🇪 villages and illegal troop deployments preceded August 7, 2008. The world must not forget how appeasing Russia in Georgia led to war in Ukraine. #WeRemember2008
