🇲🇲 Our review for today: The Trump administration has stated that its war against Iran has ‘come to an end’ within the 60-day deadline, and that the powers exercised by the President remain within legal limits; its right-wing policies will not be affected by ‘wars waged in the name of global public security’; 特朗普政府称其对伊朗的战争已在60天期限内“终止”，总统行使的权力在法律限制以内；其右转政策不会受到“负责全球公共安全而引发的战争”的影响； https://mstdn.science/@YANWEN2016/116496680916139218 #News #Commentary #Politics #Theravada

The New Republic | Epstein May Have Left a Suicide Note—and DOJ Didn’t Mention It by Finn Hartnett AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death, officially ruled a suicide, has taken on new intrigue after a former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, told The New York Times he discovered a handwritten note a month before Epstein’s fatal attempt; the note—found tucked in a graphic‑novel legal pad—read “time to say goodbye” and included a line about “what do you want me to do, bust out crying?” Tartaglione, who is serving a life sentence for a quadruple homicide, said the note was sealed by a federal judge during his own criminal case, and the paper has asked the judge to unseal it. A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed the agency has not seen the note and it was not mentioned in its investigation, leaving the alleged note as another piece of evidence that fuels ongoing conspiracy theories about how a high‑security inmate could die under guard.

‘This isn’t what I voted for’ Oh, Hell yeah you did! You should have stopped playing Candy Crush and updating Facebook every 3 minutes and paid more attention to who you were voting for.

Just in: Trump Media appointed Boris Epshteyn chairman of the board today. SE filing does not appear to mention that Arizona indicted Epshteyn for allegedly working to overturn the state's presidential election result in 2020. #news #trump #TMTG #DJT #politics #USPOL https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1849635/000114036126018230/ef20071731_10ka.htm

The Guardian | Political donations are poison to our democracy – but there’s an easy antidote to that | George Monbiot by George Monbiot AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Political donations in the UK have become a corrosive force that erodes public trust and fuels cynicism, as the current system allows a handful of ultra‑wealthy individuals—such as Christopher Harborne, who has given over £22 million to Reform UK, and crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who contributed £4 million—to wield disproportionate influence without any caps or effective oversight. Investigations reveal that both Reform UK and the major parties receive lavish funding from donors hostile to climate action and other public interests, while regulatory bodies are under‑funded, investigations have plummeted, and penalties for breaches are trivial, leaving the electorate disengaged and increasingly drawn to extremist options. Monbiot argues that the solution is to eliminate private donations altogether, replacing them with a modest, uniform membership fee (e.g., £25) that the state matches at a fixed multiple, thereby limiting party budgets, restoring transparency, and forcing politicians to focus on building a broad, engaged membership base rather than courting wealthy patrons. This radical reform would curb both domestic and foreign donor influence, simplify funding rules, and return political power to ordinary citizens.

📉 Trump's $WLFI token continues to plummet, fell below $0.06 for the first time ever today. Now trading at an all-time low of $0.05926—down 82% from where it debuted on public markets. Don't worry about Trump, though. He almost certainly put no money in this venture. #WLFI #trump #news #crypto #politics #uspol https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/world-liberty-financial?chart=type%3Dprice%26mode%3Dnull%26timeframe%3Dnull
