US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN Head of UN’s humanitarian agency frustrated that $2bn weekly cost of conflict comes amid big cuts to aid budgets

"For every day of this conflict, $2bn is being spent. My entire target for a hyper-prioritised plan to save 87 million lives is $23bn. We could have funded that in less than a fortnight of this reckless war." Tom Fletcher, head of the UN’s humanitarian agency: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country.
Nobody takes it seriously.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the real situation in the war or in diplomacy and fuels the Russian leadership’s illusion that they can continue the war.

This week alone, Russians launched 2,360 drones, 1,320 bombs, and 60 missiles.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

Funny how Nigel Farage loves to call out
what he considers 'failures' in public life
but never mentions
- Reform policies like scrap ECHR fact-checked into oblivion
- Reform councillors kicked out for racism
- Reform councils near bankrupt
- Reform ex-Tory MPs having learnt no lessons

UN Relief Chief: Three years on, Sudan remains a test the world is failing Statement by Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator

Tomorrow marks 3 years of senseless war in Sudan.

A country torn apart by greed & violence. Exposed by failure & apathy from international community.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
