Project Covidville This is a new project I’m starting in order to help bring home the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on America. The premise is simple: the fastest growing US city today is the City of #Covidville , populated by our recently dead. 1/
Commander of the @usf_army, Magyar, reported that overnight, the USF — together with Ukrainian @SOF_UKR and the Rocket Forces and Artillery — destroyed a major base in Donetsk used for storing, equipping, and launching Shahed kamikaze drones.
💥/1. Donetsk is currently under missile attack! Locals are reporting powerful explosions in the city! Presumably Russian ammunition depot was targeted.

New dashcam footage published this afternoon showing a previously unseen angle of yesterday’s horrific crash involving a McDonnell Douglas MD-11 Cargo Plane operated by UPS Airlines, during takeoff from Muhammad Ali International Airport in Louisville, Kentucky. The death toll from the crash currently sits at twelve victims, while many others were injured or remain missing as of Wednesday, with investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) suggesting the crash was likely caused by a “mechanical/technical malfunction” in the engine onboard the MD-11.

🚨 BREAKING: Chester County, Pennsylvania has been accused of blatant election MALFEASANCE after "accidentally" not including 75,000 VOTERS on their polling books, resulting in voters being TURNED AWAY. Independents - who lean Republican on election day - were told they're NOT on the voter rolls. Then they either had to vote provisional, or the location RAN OUT of provisional ballots, per @ScottPresler. Absolutely unbelievable. The media NEEDS to be covering this.

YouTube deleted all my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account. No community guidelines violated & 3 separate excuses given to me. Then Google deleted my email & won’t respond to appeals.

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities. The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations. To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality. And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further. NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history. Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸
ICE brutally detain Chicago man buying groceries—now he's in hospital ICU in critical condition. "They hit him on the face, head, and were choking him... he was bleeding on his forehead." Agents stand guard outside his hospital room—not allowing his family to even see him. His lawyer has formally requested a meeting with his client—but has not received a reply. Ricardo Aguayo Rodriguez has been in the country since the 1980s, works in construction, and is the father of two children, ages 5 and 7. The incident occurred near 17th Avenue and Main Street in the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park, Illinois. #DemsUnited

Immigration agents crashed into a U.S. citizen on her way to work—then dragged her out and arrested her. Her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released without charges. Read the story: chicagotribune.com/2025/11/0…

An example from @Deepstate_UA of how long Ukrainian infantry often spend at the front line without rotation. In this case, one soldier arrived on November 19, 2024 and only rotated out on October 27, 2025, nearly a full year. t.me/DeepStateUA/22694

Last year, I wrote an article for @ForeignAffairs on why the US stands to lose the most from a resumption of nuclear testing. Link in the next tweet; here's a shot of me at the Sedan crater with a bunch of other nerds.

"...Bundeswehr plans to buy 400 Tomahawk Block Vb cruise missiles for roughly €1.15 billion, along with three Lockheed Martin Typhon launchers valued at €220 million..." Presumably they meant "three groups of launchers". Anyway. politico.eu/article/germany-…

years ago, Ben Affleck delivered one of the best responses to the cynical & racist Islamophobia we’re witnessing coming from billionaires & activists in Cuomo’s camp against @ZohranKMamdani as they face the fact that he may actually win the mayoral race🗽

People are asking what's the purpose of Burevestnik and why develop a system that is very much useless as a weapon. The answer has always been right there, in the 1 March 2018 address. Russian president has always wanted to say these words. The rest doesn't matter really.
