Snyder: Trump is very much on Putin’s side. He keeps saying Russia has to win, will win, or has already won — but none of that is true.
Trump moved a lot of American power onto Russia’s side, and still Russia has not won. Russia is losing the war. 1/

Snyder: America has two negotiators, and neither is a diplomat: the president’s son-in-law and the president’s friend.
In any other country, that would look corrupt and impossible to work. It has already failed with Ukraine and Iran. 2/

I returned a rental car last month. Three days later, my phone rang.
Clerk: "We found damage under the door. We're charging you $1,800."
Me: "Was the damage noted on the check-in sheet?"
Clerk: "You signed the agreement, didn't you?"
Me: "I'm asking about the inspection report. Not the signature."
Clerk: "Uh... let me check and call you back."
Three days later, he called. The $1,800 charge dropped to zero. One phone call.
If you've ever rented a car, save this. Most people pay the full amount because they don't know these 5 rules:

Here is the part nobody tells you.
Post-rental damage claims are common enough that consumer protection groups across the US, EU, and India publish guides on how to fight them. Disputes about damage surcharges after returning a car are the most common problem in the entire car rental sector (European Consumer Centres Network).
Hertz once sent a customer an $850 repair bill six months after the car was returned (Travelers United, 2024).
Most people just pay. They feel guilty. They assume they must have done something. They write the check.
Here is the truth, straight from the Federal Trade Commission: any business trying to collect payment for damages must prove the customer caused them (TrustDALE, 2025).
The burden of proof is on the rental company. Not you.
When you know this, the conversation changes instantly.

Rule #1: A signature is not a confession.
The clerk's favorite line is "You signed the agreement, didn't you?"
That signature confirms you rented the car. It does not confirm you damaged the car.
If the damage is not listed on the pre-rental inspection sheet, the rental company has to prove the damage happened during YOUR rental period. Pre-existing damage is their problem, not yours.
Ask one question: "Show me the time-stamped photo of the damage from before my rental, and from after my return."
If they cannot produce both, the claim has no foundation.

MEN APART, WOMAN AMONG: TARGA AUX MAROON BERRET.

The first time she saw it, she was a cadet. Her instructor walked in and the room rearranged IT WAS NOT HER'S yet attraction was Like iron filings to a magnet. No orders. No demands. Just gravity. It was the MAROON BERET. She didn’t know the COST then. Only the WANT. 2/25
Later want transformed into NEED. She asked everyone HOW. They said: haath pair tudwane hain? you’ll break bones to earn it. Only her father said, “If you want to, you can.” He’d lived a life of closed doors. He knew want had metamorphosed to need & that doesn’t go away. 3/25
Why are we still using a word invented by our enemies to describe their hatred of us? It’s time to retire "antisemitism" and call it what it actually is: Jew-hate, Jew hate, hatred of Jews, Jewishness, Jewish way of life, history, traditions, documents, people, & land. 🧵 (1/5)
Wilhelm Marr, German agitator 1879 populized "antisemitism" to make his hatred of Jews seem intellectual. He chose "Semitic" to frame it as a racial/linguistic issue rather than a religious prejudice. By using his word, we are letting a 19th-century bigot dictate our vocabulary.
Linguistically, "antisemitism" shields haters. "Semitic" refers to a language family including Arabic providing a linguistic loophole: "I can't be antisemitic, I'm an Arab!" Shifting to Jew-hate strips away the semantic games. It leaves zero room for deflection. (3/5)

For years we have had a very strong presumption in the youth justice system that no child should held in secure accommodation. Numbers have plummeted.
But the assumption that every child will be better off ‘in the community’ is wrong and needs to be rethought. (2/10)

I saw this clearly visiting secure children’s homes in my time at Ofsted.
Nearly all the children had (sadly) done appalling things.
Most of them had had horrible childhoods - an experience far short of a normal healthy upbringing.

People should start asking why. This is a very important Senate race. When Mills first dropped out, there were tepid endorsements. That's ceased. Did people in DC & Maine debrief the Mills campaign or otherwise find out new information about Platner. Their silence is deafening.
Control of the Senate goes through this race. The GOP is about to pummel Platner. They've invested a huge amount. And, yet, Democrats seem to be fairly quiet on their own fundraising/support for the man. Why?
Mills' non-endorsement is of particular interest. Platner didn't go negative on her during the primary. The non-endorsement is due to something other than competition. What is it? Her campaign manager has said she would personally NEVER vote for Platner. What do they know?
They should put something like this on the back cover of every Pak Studies textbook.

Key economic indicators for every government from Ayub to Shahbaz 👇🧵
Because circumstances differed, and each government inherited from the one before it and left things differently for the one after it, I don't want to get into a comparison of governments.
This is more so a story about how little things changed across governments.

NEW | US forces struck Iranian boats as they attempted to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz last night. Iran fired surface-to-air missiles at US aircraft in response, and the United States subsequently struck missile launch sites near Bandar Abbas. (1/5)
Iran may conduct additional attacks targeting the Gulf states in response. The IRGC promised that US “ceasefire violations” justify a “reciprocal” response, and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned in a statement today that the US military bases in the Middle East are no longer safe. (2/5)
Iran likely believes that targeting the Gulf states enables Iran to impose costs against US allies without necessarily provoking a direct US response. Iran responded to US strikes in southern Iran earlier this month with a drone and ballistic missile attack targeting the UAE a day later. (3/5)
A big part of the reason people left of center are so angry about platner is the rank hypocrisy the left is peddling
They have spent the last decade calling anybody associated with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars war criminals, genocidal murderers

To give an example, Pete Buttigieg spent 6 months in a trailer on Bagram air base tracking Taliban finances via spreadsheet. Self-admitted that he almost never left the wire
All the leftist podcasters, influencers, etc called him a war criminal for doing that

then along comes platner. did multiple tours in Iraq, including literally at Abu Ghraib. Went back to work for Blackwater successor Constellis. Bragged about killing, posted favorably about desecrating dead bodies
And suddenly the war criminal accusations from the left are gone!

EXCLUSIVE: As Robert F. Kennedy has pivoted away from vaccines, the White House has pointed to findings by Trump's pollster Tony Fabrizio showing it’s not a winning political issue.
But I obtained unreleased polling by Fabrizio showing the opposite.
But I obtained unreleased polling by Fabrizio showing the opposite.
In the public polling the White House has cited in moving away from policies that inflame Pfizer and other vaccine makers, Fabrizio’s firm seems to tilt the scales by asking voters about “established” and “longstanding” vaccine policies.
In the unreleased polling, voters were overwhelmingly against legal immunity for vaccine makers. 7/10 voters want more research on the cumulative effects of the childhood vaccination schedule.

The White House and Kennedy’s new #2 Chris Klomp have sought to minimize headline "noise."
The effort has coincided with the ouster of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and deputies Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Hoeg.
But the detailed polling I obtained also shows that a whopping 90% of voters are concerned about pharma influence on media headlines.
Undue influence by Big Pharma was voters’ top ranking issue.
