Talks remain ongoing with Spurs! 🗣 West Ham are open to letting the 24-year-old attacking player leave the club. Would he be a good fit at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? #BBCFootball

China’s Maglev train just clocked 620 mph — that’s faster than most commercial airplanes. This isn’t sci-fi; it’s the next phase of ultra-high-speed travel. With magnetic levitation tech and zero physical contact with the tracks, the future of transportation is not just fast —

Despite this being repeated ad nauseum in the Israeli press, so many denied that Netanyahu was prolonging the war to stay in power, preferring to cover for him instead. This New York Times piece confirms it yet again. And many will still ignore. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/mag…

Reality is a little more nuanced here -- the strike amounted to little more than a warning "knock." The tank was reportedly repaired within 30mins & deployed into #Suwayda. Note this comes amid anger within Hikmat al-Hijri's militia that #Israel has "abandoned" them.

Jordanian tribes issue a warning to Israel: “We do not wish to intervene in Syrian affairs, but if Israel intervenes, we will provide succor to our cousins.”

The amount of lies spread about Syria is astounding. In reality, much of the recent savagery has been carried out by Israel-backed rebels in Sweida. But Twitter counts on people’s ignorance & sectarianism to sell a different story.

Nigel Farage today opened his 'Lawless Britain' press conference saying he now rejects the Crime Survey of England & Wales - the only validated crime level measurement. The 35,000-households Crime Survey is fatal to anyone wanting to present a picture of immigrant-driven crime

America has lost 116k manufacturing jobs over the last year—that's the fastest pace of job loss since the early COVID era and worse than any period from 2011-2019. Big drops in the transportation (-49k) & electronics (-32k) industries drive most of the decline

Every product is also potentially an input into another product. When the government taxes imported products, it raises the price of inputs to domestic industries- reducing domestic production and domestic employment. None of this should come as news.

On April 30th, Josh Smith of Montana Knife Company said you won't have to worry about tariffs if you buy American. Last week, he realized his costs are going up bc he imports equipment and steel. And so do his suppliers. IMO many people aren't aware of how much they import.

MUST READ BY Emily Jashinsky Bannon himself put it best when he told Politico this week, “It seems that for the under-30-year-old MAGA base, Israel has almost no support.” Bannon further believes it’s not just Young MAGA but that “Netanyahu’s attempt to save himself politically
