Mexico threatens legal action against Musk

The tech billionaire has claimed President Claudia Sheinbaum is controlled by “her cartel bosses”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced she is weighing a lawsuit against billionaire Elon Musk after he claimed she is controlled by drug cartels.

Musk wrote the comment on Monday after Mexican authorities announced the killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He was responding to a 2025 post in which Sheinbaum rejected an all-out war on drug cartels.

In a video, Sheinbaum said “Returning to the war against the narco is not an option… it is permission to kill without any trial.” Musk responded that she was “saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say,” alleging that “their punishment for disobedience is a little worse than a ‘performance improvement plan’.”

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sheinbaum said she was “considering whether to take legal action” and that “the lawyers are looking into it.” She said claims that she leads a “narco-government” are “absurd” and “laughable.” The Mexican leader has faced criticism over her national security policies amid a weekend surge in violence.

Cartel violence swept Mexico after drug lord Oseguera Cervantes, also known as El Mencho, was eliminated in a joint US-Mexican military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco last week. The organization is among Mexico’s most powerful trafficking groups and has been accused of supplying large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine to the US. Washington designated it a foreign terrorist organization last year.

The operation triggered unrest across Jalisco and at least eight other states, with videos circulating online showing smoke rising from torched cars and commercial buildings. Cartel members blocked roads, set vehicles ablaze, and looted stores. Clashes between the military and drug cartels in Mexico have raised concerns about the smooth staging of the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.

A 2006 military offensive against cartels under then President Felipe Calderon sparked bloody turf wars as gangs splintered, fueling a surge in violence that analysts say still drives Mexico’s high homicide rates.

Sheinbaum said she expects security to gradually return and rejected suggestions that the recent operation signals a return to a more aggressive approach.

Woman called police on congressional candidate Mike Simmons as he canvassed in apartment building

In a video, state Sen. Mike Simmons, aDemocratwho is running for Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s seat, can be seen asking a woman if she’s calling the police and telling her he’s “disappointed” in how she handled the situation.

By Sun-Times Wire Updated Feb 23, 2026, 11:40pm EST

State senator and congressional candidate Mike Simmons was reported to Chicago police while canvassing for votes in the North Side Buena Park neighborhood Friday.

In a video, Simmons is in the stairwell of an apartment building while a woman speaks on the phone. Simmons asks if she’s on the phone with the police, but she doesn’t respond and continues speaking on the phone.

“I’m not going to argue,” Simmons says in the video. “I’m gonna let you know that it is against the law to call the police on an elected official who’s knocking doors. I know because I passed the law in 2021(why would Congress get a law like that? Sounds bizarre!). So if you’d like me to leave the building, I would leave the building, butI am so disappointed in how you chose to handle the situation at a time when police have been known to get into deadly altercations with people of color.(wow the “innocent blacks killed by cops, shame game!! Weird!) I would expect more from my neighbors.”

Simmons had explained that he was canvassing in his campaign for Congress and that he served the building’s residents as their current state senator, he said. The woman asked for documentation from Simmons and the volunteers, and she ignored him when he told her to look up his state Senate website, Simmons said.

“She stopped talking to us; she literally just grabbed her phone and started dialing,” Simmons said. “She would not say a word to me.”

Police responded to the scene and Simmons spoke to them.

“She then called the police and ignored all attempts at a conversationby Simmons and the volunteers with him — all people of color,” according to a news release from the Simmons campaign. “After Simmons left the building on his own, Chicago Police did report to the scene a few minutes later, and Simmons spoke to them about the incident.”

Simmons sponsored a bill categorizing police calls on Black people as a hate crime when there is no active threat. Simmons said he was inspired to run for state Senate by protests after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. In his view, Simmons says he narrowly escaped a similar outcome because of fraught relations between Black people and police.

“When we got outside, what just flashed through my mind was images of dead Black people in interactions with police,”he said in the news release.“I spoke up on this because I don’t want to be complicit in the status quo that can lead to a Black person being killed and just becoming a statistic.”(WTF???, what about the majority of blacks killing blacks? This sounds like a setup.)

He’s campaigning in a crowded field to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky to represent the state’s 9th Congressional District. If elected, Simmons would be the first Black representative from the district.

He is the first Black state senator to represent the 7th District, which includes parts of the North Side, including Rogers Park, Uptown and Lincoln Square, andhe’s the first openly gay member of the state Senate.

(I bet he’s a Democrat)

Declassified CIA Docs Reveal Secret Plot to Manipulate Human Behavior Through Vaccines

Another “conspiracy theory” with a file number.

Feb 24, 2026

An April 24, 1952 memorandum titled “Special Research for Artichoke” proposes developing drugs capable of inducing anxiety, depression, hopelessness, nervousness, and lethargy in “subjects.” It discusses both immediate-use drugs and substances designed for long-term administration over extended periods, to be concealed in food, water, beverages — and even “standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.”

Project ARTICHOKE focused on interrogation techniques, hypnosis, amnesia, and chemical incapacitation within the CIA’s Technical Services Staff. The program laid groundwork for MK-ULTRA, formally initiated in 1953 and later exposed during congressional investigations in the 1970s.

Disturbingly, since 2021, over 70% of humanity received a neurotoxic agent masquerading as a “vaccine”. The same goals outlined in the CIA document (vaccines/drugs capable of covertly inducing anxiety, depression, and lethargy) are now being observed in COVID-19 vaccinated populations.

Multiple peer-reviewed studies have now linked the COVID shots to increased risks of:

1. Cognitive impairment (+137.7%)

2. Depression (+68.3%)

3. Anxiety disorders (+43.9%)

4. Sleep disorders (+93.4%)

5. Alzheimer’s (+22.5%)

6. Ischemic stroke (+44%)

7. Hemorrhagic stroke (+50%)

8. Transient ischemic attack (+67%)

9. Myelitis (+165%)

10. Myasthenia gravis (+71%)

RFK Jr. on Glyphosate:

On Sunday, Kennedy took to social media to elaborate on his position on the executive order and the use of pesticides in U.S. agriculture. Here is his full response, posted on X:

“I will always tell the American people the truth.

“Pesticides and herbicides are toxic by design, engineered to kill living organisms. When we apply them across millions of acres and allow them into our food system, we put Americans at risk. Chemical manufacturers have paid tens of billions of dollars to settle cancer claims linked to their products, and many agricultural communities report elevated cancer rates and chronic disease.

Unfortunately, our agricultural system depends heavily on these chemicals. The U.S. represents 4% of the world’s population, yet we use roughly 25% of its pesticides. If these inputs disappeared overnight, crop yields would fall, food prices would surge, and America would experience a massive loss of farms even beyond what we are witnessing today. The consequences would be disastrous.

Lawmakers Launch Bipartisan Bill to Block Trump’s Executive Order on Glyphosate

“If we’re Making America Healthy Again, government shouldn’t be promoting glyphosate and providing liability immunity for corporations making it."

Feb 24, 2026

Reps. Thomas Massie and Chellie Pingree introduced the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order boosting domestic glyphosate production and shielding manufacturers from liability. The bipartisan bill would block federal funding for the order and reaffirm the right of individuals to sue chemical companies for health issues related to glyphosate.

This sounds encouraging...what could possibly go wrong?

RNA Crop Spray: Should We Be Worried? Terrana Biosciences Has Developed RNA for Agriculture

February 24, 2026

A company called Terrana Biosciences has developed an RNA platform for agriculture. Here are just a few words from their website: “it fuses nature’s intelligence with machine intelligence to design RNA-based solutions for every aspect of plant health from seed to stem.” Flagship Pioneering put in a $50 million investment into Terrana – note that Flagship also helped launch Moderna.

The company is exploring 15 different aspects of their RNA platform, and one is plant vaccines and “protective agents.” The company is in the early phases of research and not approved for commercial use. It uses a process called gene silencing – the plant is engineered to produce a protective RNA that changes the DNA. This is a genetic modification (GMO) that is passed on to future generations of that plant to guard against a pest. The second process is spray-on RNA that is similar to a a pesticide but without the chemicals. It is meant to only target the pest, but it could have more widespread effects.

U.S Court of Appeals – DC Circuit – Rules IRS Can Share Information with DHS for Immigration Enforcement

February 24, 2026 | Sundance |

A win for President Trump and the Dept of Homeland Security. The DC Court of Appeals has ruled against the plaintiff argument seeking to block the IRS (Treasury Secretary Bessent) from sharing cross-reference information with the Dept of Homeland Security (Secretary Noem).

Bottom line, the IRS can share data with DHS to identify status of illegal aliens.

“The only issue that we decide is whether, on the sparse record before us,Appellants have met their heavy burden to make a clear showing that they are entitled to the preliminary injunctive relief sought. For the reasons indicated, we conclude that Appellants have not.”

(If every Trump decision or case ends up in the DC Court of Appeals, why don’t they fire the lower judges and close the lower courts and have all cases sent to DCCoA first? Cut out the time and money wasting!)

The Egg Nebula from the Hubble Telescope

Ever wonder what it would look like to crack open the Sun? The Egg Nebula, a dying Sun-like star, can unscramble this question. Pictured is a combination of several visible and infrared images of the nebula (also known as RAFGL 2688 or CRL 2688) taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. The star has shed its outer layers, and a bright, hot core (or "yolk") now illuminates the milky "egg white" shells of gas and dust surrounding the center. The central lobes and rings are structures of gas and dust recently ejected into space, with the dust being dense enough to block our view of the stellar core. Light beams emanate from that blocked core, escaping through holes carved in the older ejected material by newer, faster jets expelled from the star’s poles. Astronomers are still trying to figure out what causes the disks, lobes, and jets during this short (only a few thousand years!) phase of the star’s evolution, making this an egg-cellent image to study!

COLD CASE MURDERER DEPORTED

In 2009, Kemar Hamilton, a Jamaican criminal illegal alien, murdered a 58-year-old Jamaican immigrant father of seven in Bronx, NY — the victim had been shot outside his own home during a mugging.

Hamilton fled the scene.

While Hamilton hid from justice on New York streets, immigration officials were already processing his removal orders, and an immigration judge ordered him removed in 2009.

The case went cold until 2011, when Hamilton was arrested during a NYPD traffic stop for illegally carrying a loaded handgun.

The following year, investigators determined that Hamilton was a DNA match for evidence collected at the murder scene.

His other convictions include:

— Aggravated assault

— Smuggling contraband into a prison

— Attempted assault

— Criminal weapons possession

A judge in New York sentenced Hamilton to over a decade in prison.

ICE Buffalo officers arrested him, Oct. 6, 2025, upon his release from the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden to prevent his release into the community.

ICE New Orleans deported him last month.

The sun hasn't looked like this since 2022, what's going on?

February 24, 2026

The sun's visible disk has been perfectly free from sunspots for the first time since June 2022, suggesting the current solar cycle might be heading toward its quieter phase.

Sunspots are cooler areas on the sun's surface that appear darker compared to their surroundings. These solar blemishes are caused by intense magnetic fields that prevent heat from the star's interior from rising to the surface.

When the tangled magnetic field lines around these spots burst, the sun emits solar flares and coronal mass ejections of dense plasma that can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth.

The sun follows an approximately 11-year cycle during which its activity ebbs and flows. During the solar maximum, sunspots are a constant presence and flares and coronal mass ejections occur almost daily.

During the minimum, on the other hand, the sun may go for months without a single sunspot.

The current solar cycle, the 25th since records began, peaked in 2024. The last time the sun's face was perfectly spotless was on June 8, 2022, more than 1,355 days ago.

It seems that this spotless state may have only lasted for two days, though. On Tuesday, (Feb. 24), some eagle-eyed observers began to spot a newly-emerging active region.

It's also possible that other sunspots exist on the sun's surface, but are not currently visible to observers on Earth and have rotated away from the view of Earth-orbiting satellites.

Although the slowdown in the sun's production of sunspots is likely signaling that the current solar cycle is waning, solar activity is not expected to reach its next minimum before 2030, according to the UK Met Office.

During the last solar minimum between 2018 and 2020, the sun went for 700 days without a spot, according to spaceweather.com.

For now, this spotless day on the sun offers a brief lull in activity, but it's too early to say whether it signals a longer-term slowdown in solar storms and aurora displays.

C/2026 A1 comet brighter than Venus to be visible to naked eye: When and where to watch this celestial wanderer in the sky

Last Updated: Feb 25, 2026, 11:19:00 AM IST

The comet was first spotted by amateur astronomers Alain Maury, Georges Attard, Daniel Parrott, and Florian Signoret, whose initials form the "MAPS" acronym.

What makes this discovery extraordinary is the distance at which it was first detected: 2.056 astronomical units (over 300 million kilometers) from the Sun.

This is a record-breaking distance for a sungrazing comet and hints that the object possesses a massive nucleus, estimated at approximately 2.4 kilometers wide.

C/2026 A1: Perilous Journey of the Kreutz Family

C/2026 A1 is a member of the Kreutz sungrazing family, a group of comets believed to be fragments of a massive parent body over 100 km wide that shattered centuries ago.

Unlike standard comets, these objects dive deep into the solar atmosphere. On April 4–5, 2026, MAPS will reach its perihelion, skimming a mere 118,681 miles (191,000 kilometers) above the Sun’s surface.

This extreme proximity causes intense solar heat to sublimate ices into gas, creating a brilliant glow, but it also risks shredding the comet apart entirely.

Sungrazing comet: Potential for a Rare Daylight Spectacle

If the comet manages to hold together during its close encounter, it could brighten so dramatically that it becomes visible during the daytime with the naked eye. Observers may witness a unique turquoise tail formed by exotic gases.

Astronomers compare its potential to the famous C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy), which survived a similar passage in 2011 and became as bright as the planet Venus.

Even if it fragments, solar observatories like SOHO are expected to capture spectacular imagery of its fiery dive through the corona.

Comet C/2026 A1: Viewing Tips for Observers in India

For skywatchers in India, the best chances for a glimpse will occur in early April, specifically in the southern regions. The comet will likely appear low in the southwest sky approximately 30 to 45 minutes after sunset.

While it may be visible to the naked eye, using binoculars or small telescopes is recommended to help cut through the solar glare near the horizon. Observers in northern India may find viewing more challenging due to potential horizon obstructions and clutter.

Rare planetary parade on February 28 as six planets gather in the evening sky

February 25, 2026

t’s time for skywatchers to get ready to witness a rare coming-together of planets in the evening sky this week. On February 28, 2026, six planets will be visible, almost grouped together as seen from the Earth.

This rare planetary parade can be best experienced by enthusiasts if they manage to get just a few conditions and timing perfectly right. Technically, six planets—Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune—would be visible in the sky.

However, all six won’t be equally easy to see, and visibility might also depend on geographical location, as well as factors like weather or pollution.

When, where, and how to look

According to NASA, the rare planetary parade will be visible on February 28, 2026, and the ideal period to view Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune would begin 30 minutes after sunset and last for roughly 45 minutes.

They will appear in the west during twilight, with Venus and Mercury closest to the horizon and Saturn slightly higher above them. Neptune, too, would be close to Saturn, but it would be extremely difficult to detect without at least a 6-inch (15-centimeter) telescope.

In the southern sky, Jupiter will shine bright and steady as a whitish point of light that does not twinkle like nearby stars.

Roughly halfway between Jupiter and the cluster of planets near the horizon, the three stars of Orion’s Belt could be spotted, and they can work as a good visual guide in the evening sky.

Like Neptune in this parade, Uranus, too, would require binoculars or a small telescope to locate it. As an alternative, simply follow Orion’s Belt, and Uranus would be seen sitting just below the Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus.

What makes the February 28 alignment special

This six-planet alignment is the first of its kind in more than half a year, following the last similar occurrence in August 2025.

And while Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are often seen in the night sky, lineups featuring Venus are extra special, considering how the planet is only visible for a couple of months at a time when it reaches elongation (greatest separation from the Sun).

Moreover, parades featuring more than four planets are not annual events.

Because planets orbit our Sun in a disc-shaped plane of which we have an edge-on view, the planets appear along a line or arc across the sky. This line is referred to as the ecliptic or ecliptic plane.

There’s also a lunar treat in the sky on the same evening as the parade. On February 28, the 92% illuminated waxing gibbous Moon will drift close to the Beehive Cluster, a bright group of about a thousand stars 577 light-years away from Earth.

Shortly after that, on March 3, observers will be treated to the Blood Worm Moon, which will be the last one of its kind until 2028.

March 3 'Blood Moon' is your last chance to see a total lunar eclipse until 2028

February 24, 2026

The Blood Worm Moon on March 3, 2026, is going to be the last total lunar eclipse that we will see anywhere on our planet until New Year’s Eve 2028.

This total lunar eclipse will be one of the most widely visible astronomical events of the year, uniting observers under one grand crimson canopy. So, skygazers, mark your calendars and take note of the details of the event.

What is a total lunar eclipse?

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Full Moon is entirely covered by the Earth’s umbral shadow, the central, darkest, and innermost part of the shadow that completely blocks direct sunlight. Indirect sunlight illuminates the Moon, but it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere.

The atmosphere filters most of the blue light via a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering, and the remaining red, orange-ish light falls on the Moon. This results in the striking red color of the cold, rocky body during totality. The Saros cycle dictates the occurrence of eclipses.

What is a Saros?

Eclipses recur over the Saros cycle, a celestial period of approximately 18 years, 11 days, and 18 hours (6,585) used to predict solar and lunar eclipses by tracking the Sun, Earth, and Moon's returns to nearly identical positions.

Two eclipses with one Saros between them share similar geometry, occurring at the same node (the point at which the Moon's orbit intersects Earth's plane), with the Moon at nearly the same distance from our planet at the same time of the year.

Eclipses in a Saros repeat over centuries, with 70 or more events. NASA’s table explains that the March lunar eclipse falls within Saros 133, the last lunar eclipse of which is scheduled for June 29, 2819.

Eclipse phases and duration

The 2026 total lunar eclipse will last over 5 hours from start to end, with the penumbral phase starting at 8:44 UTC (3:44 am EST) and ending at 14:23 UTC (9:23 am EST).

The totality, or the phase of complete coverage of the lunar surface by Earth’s central shadow, will last nearly an hour from 11:04 UTC (6:04 am EST) to 12:03 UTC (7:03 am EST).

The partial eclipse, meanwhile, will last from 9:50 UTC (4:50 am EST) to 13:17 UTC (5:17 am EST).

Visibility

Totality will be visible in the evening of March 3 from eastern Asia and Australia and throughout the night in the Pacific. Observers in North and Central America and western South America will have to get up early in the morning to experience the event.

Residents of Central Asia and South America will only get to view the partial eclipse, while Europe and Africa will be completely deprived of any visibility.

Totally safe to watch with your unaided eye, without any eclipse glasses, the best show will be at a spot away from city lights, in the dark night sky. Binoculars and a telescope will enhance the experience and enable spotting the nuances of the Moon.

So, find clear horizons in your city and watch our natural satellite illuminate the sky with its rusty coppery hue for the last time in a while.

Next total lunar eclipse after March 3

After next week's event, people around the world will get to observe a total lunar eclipse on New Year's Eve in 2028—that's a nearly three-year gap.

On December 31, 2028, around 80 percent of the world's population will be able to experience the massive celestial event.

With over 71 minutes of totality and more than three hours of partial visibility, the eclipse will grace the skies in Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia and parts of North America, per NASA.

Human Research, Advanced Tech Keep Crew Busy Before Dragon Departs

February 25, 2026 10:40AM

Human research, advanced robotics, and experimental workout gear filled the schedule for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday.

The orbital residents also continued packing a SpaceX Dragon with science experiments and space hardware for its departure on Thursday.

Flight Engineers Jessica Meir of NASA and Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) kicked off their shift together answering a questionnaire about their sleep quality and collecting their saliva samples for analysis.

Researchers will use the biomedical data to understand the stress and behavioral risks during a spaceflight, devise meditation and relaxation techniques for crews, and improve the experience of a long-term mission.

Meir then collected and processed her blood samples with assistance from NASA Flight Engineer Jack Hathaway for the Venous Flow study that examines the risk of space-caused blood clots.

Next, Meir inspected and cleaned the Enhanced European Exploration Exercise Device, an advanced, compact all-in-one workout device being tested for use on deep space missions.

Adenot partnered with Hathaway at the end of their shift loading hardware packed with research samples into a SpaceX Dragon scheduled to undock from the orbital outpost’s Harmony module at 12:05 p.m. EST on Thursday.

NASA Flight Engineer Chris Williams started his shift inside the Kibo laboratory module installing and configuring a pair of small robotic arms.

The advanced robotic technology is demonstrating precision mobility and experiment automation in microgravity to reduce astronaut workloads.

Williams then joined Meir in the Tranquility module and replaced components on the advanced resistive exercise device that mimics free weights on Earth.

Station Commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, attached to electrodes, pedaled on an exercise cycle for a cardiovascular assessment while Flight Engineer Sergei Mikaev monitored and assisted.

The Roscosmos cosmonauts then split up their day with semiconductor research, an artificial intelligence investigation, and photographic inspections of windows on the Zvezda service module.

Roscosmos Flight Engineer Andrey Fedyaev closed out an automated photography session that imaged Earth landmarks in a variety of wavelengths during the crew’s sleep shift.

The two-time station visitor then spent the rest of his day servicing the Nauka science module’s ventilation system and inventorying hardware located in the Zarya module.

NASA Artemis II Rocket Rolls Back to Vehicle Assembly Building

February 25, 2026 9:32AM

Editor’s Note: The launch director gave the “go” for rollback at 9:28 a.m. EST followed by first motion 10 minutes later.

NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft for the Artemis II mission began rolling off the launch pad at 9:38 a.m. EST, Feb. 25, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Rolling from Launch Pad 39B to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA Kennedy is expected to take up to 12 hours.

Once it arrives, technicians will establish platforms to diagnose the helium flow issue to the rocket’s upper stage and fix it. A livestream of the rollback will be streamed on the agency’s YouTube channel.

NASA’s Webb Examines Cranium Nebula

Feb 25, 2026

Two heads are better than one in the latest images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, which reveal new detail in a mysterious, little-studied nebula surrounding a dying star.

Nebula PMR 1 is a cloud of gas and dust that bears an uncanny resemblance to a brain in a transparent skull, inspiring its nickname, the “Exposed Cranium” nebula. Webb captured its unusual features in both near- and mid-infrared light.

The nebula was first revealed in infrared light by a predecessor to Webb, NASA’s now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope, more than a decade ago. Webb’s advanced instruments show detail that enhances the nebula’s brain-like appearance.

Image: Exposed Cranium Nebula (NIRCam and MIRI Images)

The nebula appears to have distinct regions that capture different phases of its evolution — an outer shell of gas that was blown off first and consists mostly of hydrogen, and an inner cloud with more structure that contains a mix of different gases.

Both Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) show a distinctive dark lane running vertically through the middle of the nebula that defines its brain-like look of left and right hemispheres.

Webb’s resolution shows that this lane could be related to an outburst or outflow from the central star, which typically occurs as twin jets burst out in opposite directions.

Evidence for this is particularly notable at the top of the nebula in Webb’s MIRI image, where it looks like the inner gas is being ejected outward.

While there is still much to be understood about this nebula, it’s clear that it is being created by a star near the end of its fuel-burning “life.” In their end stages, stars expel their outer layers. It’s a dynamic and fairly fast process, in cosmic terms.

Webb has captured a moment in this star’s decline. What ultimately happens will depend on the mass of the star, which is yet to be determined. If it’s massive enough, it will explode in a supernova.

A less massive Sun-like star will continue to shed layers until only its core remains as a dense white dwarf, which will cool off over eons.

The James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s premier space science observatory.

Webb is solving mysteries in our solar system, looking beyond to distant worlds around other stars, and probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe and our place in it.

Webb is an international program led by NASA with its partners, ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).

XRISM’s Science

February 25,. 2026

XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) is designed to transform our understanding about some of the universe’s hottest regions, largest structures, and objects with the strongest gravity.

It uses high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy to determine the chemical makeup of distant objects, revealing new insights about the physics of the cosmos.

XRISM’s Resolve instrument builds up a picture of how bright a source is in various X-ray energies — the equivalent of colors of visible light — and lets astronomers identify chemical elements by their unique X-ray fingerprints, called spectra.

XRISM’s other instrument, called Xtend, is an X-ray imager that performs simultaneous observations with Resolve, providing complementary information.

Understanding the chemical composition of the universe over time

Stars that are at least eight times more massive than the Sun end their lives in enormous explosions called supernovae.

When this happens, the outer layers of the star are expelled outward at high speed where they will interact with the interstellar medium — the tenuous gas and dust that lies between the stars of a galaxy.

This hot ball of glowing gas is called a supernova remnant and can emit X-rays.

The explosion releases the material forged inside the star during the main stages of its life. Elements like carbon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron are released into the star’s surroundings after being trapped inside for thousands to millions of years.

Additional elements are created in the explosion itself. As this material expands into space, the new elements will mix with interstellar clouds, enriching the stellar factories that will produce future generations of stars and planets.

XRISM’s spectra are so detailed that for the brightest supernova remnants, astronomers should be able to separate the material racing away from us on the far side of the expanding shell from that moving toward us on the near side.

This gives scientists a detailed 3D picture of where elements are made and how they are distributed in the explosion.

Revealing the structure and evolution of the universe

Galaxy clusters are groups of hundreds to thousands of galaxies that are all gravitationally bound to each other.

In visible light, a galaxy cluster appears as individual galaxies gathered in the same region of the sky. However, in X-rays, it will shine brightly as a single source of hot gas that fills the entire cluster.

The hot gas in galaxy clusters comes from supernova explosions in the early universe. By looking at this X-ray-emitting gas in clusters at different distances — or different ages of the universe — astronomers can trace star formation over cosmic time.

XRISM can determine properties of the hot gas, such as its turbulence, which will tell us about the history of the cluster — mergers and interactions that have gone on between the galaxies.

XRISM’s data is transforming our view from a single, static snapshot of the cluster into a dynamic picture of the motions of the gas.

Investigating how matter and energy moves in strong gravity

Nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole. Its chaotic environment, however, can be quite bright and provide information about the structures near the black hole.

As material falls toward a black hole, it settles into a hot, bright, rapidly spinning accretion disk. Above and below the disk there is sometimes a super-heated plasma of electrons called the corona.

The black hole can also power a pair of high-speed particle jets that blast away from it in opposite directions.

XRISM is observing both supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies and their smaller, stellar-mass cousins that are dotted around every galaxy.

The high-resolution spectra from XRISM can see the dynamics of the material around black holes in greater detail than previous telescopes, giving us information about how it moves.

This gives scientists insight into how gravity works in extreme conditions that can not be replicated on Earth.

Curiosity Blog, Sols 4812-4819: Back Into the Hollows

Feb 24, 2026

Earth planning date: Friday, Feb. 20, 2026

This has been a pretty routine week for Curiosity. As was mentioned last week, we're now in the final phase of the boxwork exploration campaign.

We're currently making our way toward the eastern contact of the boxwork formation with the surrounding geology, which we plan to drive along before turning our attention to the southern contact.

That will likely be our last opportunity to directly interrogate the boxwork area before we continue our adventure up the slopes of Mount Sharp.

Along the way, we've been performing our usual investigations of the geology that we encounter at our parking locations.

As always, this includes contact science on bedrock targets close to the rover, ChemCam LIBS observations of targets slightly further afield, and a number of ChemCam RMI and Mastcam mosaics.

These mosaics include observations deeper into the “Tapiche” hollow where we're parked and the “Los Flamencos” ridge to its south, which we plan on investigating closer in the coming week.

Mars continues to move deeper into its dusty season, so the environmental science group filled this week's plan with a typical assortment of atmospheric monitoring activities to track dust devils and the amount of dust in the atmosphere, as well as several Navcam cloud movies.

So far this dusty season the atmosphere over Gale Crater appears to be behaving much like it does most years, with no signs of imminent dust storms.

It's now been almost eight years (four Mars years) since the last time that a global dust storm swept across the planet, so we're keeping a close eye on the possibility of another one occurring this year.

For years, I've read that the contributions and aid given by individuals is much larger than ever reported. For some reason, we're not supposed to know that people in crisis aren't solely dependent on help from governmental entities.

Christian Faith-Based Groups Helped Rebuild North Carolina After Hurricane Helene Destruction

North Carolina suffered record-breaking floods resulting from Hurricane Helene, a category 4 hurricane, in September 2024. Under former President Biden, help from taxpayer-funded FEMA was inadequate. Christian groups, including Amish, Catholics and Evangelicals, helped residents in rural areas in North Carolina rebuild their homes and communities. Some Christians donated their labor for more than a year to help the Hurricane Helene victims.

Before the State of the Union, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) joined other leaders in promising Americans that the Democrats will unleash a revenge tour after taking power in November, pledging to start throwing Trump people in jail when they retake Congress. Murphy went on MS NOW to feed the rage addiction that has taken over his party.

We recently discussed how Susan Rice joined the mob in stating that “When it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media … it’s not going to end well for them.”

She followed other Democrats, assuring voters that, if they returned Democrats to power, they would crack down on their political opponents.

Republicans and law enforcement are now regularly called “Nazis” and “fascists” by Democratic leaders. Some are promising arrests from the President to individual police officers. Last week, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to “hunt down” ICE officers like “Nazis.” Democratic strategist James Carville previously threatened that “collaborators” may be treated in the same way as they were after World War II.

US Rep. Tony Gonzales Pressured to Resign Over Alleged Affair with Staffer Who Committed Suicide

Republican US Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas, a married father of six, is accused of having an affair with an aide in his office, Regina Aviles, 35, who killed herself last September. She set herself on fire and died from her injuries after discovering her husband had cheated on her with her best friend. Some members of Congress, from both parties, are calling for Rep. Gonzales to resign. He faces a tight primary election in March against a conservative who aligns with the Freedom Caucus.

She texted her husband’s best friend, Joshua Garza, as she filmed herself dousing her body with gasoline – she wrote: ‘Tell Baller I’m setting myself on fire right now, so have fun raising our son.’

Rep. Gonzales has denied the affair, despite racy emails and another email with a coworker. Gonzales pestered Aviles for sexy photos in May 2024, more than a year before her suicide, and quizzed her about her favorite sex positions, a sexually explicit late-night exchange between the pair revealed.

House Rule 23 in the Code of Official Conduct states that members of Congress may not have sexual relations with a person who works under their supervision.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

By John Solomon and Steven Richards

Published: February 24, 2026 11:04pm

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia's 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.

The memos show that President Joe Biden's top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis' prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews to proceed before a state grand jury and that Willis's team spoke glowingly of the congressional efforts to expose Trump's involvement in the disputed election.

"Our initial review of the report confirms you all have accomplished amazing things in the past year," F. Donald Wakeford, a top deputy to Willis, wrote in a December 2022 email to Tim Heaphy, chief investigative counsel for the Democrat-run Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Just the News, alongside the nonprofit public interest law firm America First Legal (AFL), sued Willis for the records, under Georgia's Open Records Law. Willis, a longtime Trump nemesis, sought to hide many of the records with claims of legal privilege during a prolonged legal fight.

In a reaction to the lawsuit, Willis' office this week dropped all privilege claims and released all the documents without any redactions, providing to Just the News — and the public — more information than it did to congressional Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee.

"These documents reveal that the Biden Administration and the January 6 Committee were much more involved in District Attorney Fani Willis’s prosecution of President Trump than was previously believed. AFL was happy to represent Just the News to get Americans this new information," said Will Scolinos, an attorney at America First Legal.

The documents show a cozy relationship between the Biden administration and Willis' staff, one that included a meeting between her outside special prosecutor Nathan Wade and the Biden White House.

Wade, who admitted to a "personal relationship" with Willis outside the office, billed Fulton County $2,000 for an "interview with DC/White House" on Nov. 18, 2022, just as Willis' probe was accelerating, according to the new records Willis was forced to disclose.

There is no further explanation in the documents for that interaction, and Fulton County told Just the News and its lawyers at AFL that Wade did not keep any records of what happened at that meeting. Calls to Willis for comment were not returned by publication time.

The new memos show that the Biden White House counsel's office gave Willis' prosecution team a major gift, waiving Trump's ability to claim executive privilege and to block former administration officials from testifying.

Executive privilege is the implied authority of the U.S. president to withhold information that the executive branch possesses from Congress or the Judiciary on the grounds that a president is entitled to confidential advice before making decisions. It is a long-standing American tradition and the secrecy of presidential communications was first referenced by Chief Justice John Marshall in the landmark case Marbury v. Madison.

Ironically, President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder asserted the same privilege during investigations of the botched "Fast and Furious" gunrunning scheme. The Reporter's Committee for Freedom of the Press noted that "When a president invokes executive privilege, it may be among the most difficult walls to penetrate because the number of potential leakers with access to White House documents is limited and closely monitored.” In some instances, reporting has simply been prevented from reporting on an important issue because the blockade worked.

Biden, however, believed that the “extraordinary events” surrounding the “insurrection” on Jan. 6 in the U.S. Capitol, warranted waiving this historical understanding of the privacy of presidential communications, the new memos show.

In a letter to Fulton County prosecutors in September 2022, Biden’s Special Counsel, Richard Sauber, informed Willis’ deputy, Wakeford, that the White House would not invoke executive privilege for the testimony of former Trump White House officials before the Georgia grand jury.

New Volunteer Data from 143 Observatories Unveils the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

Feb 24, 2026

On April 8, 2024, volunteers participating in NASA’s Eclipse Megamovie citizen science project all around the United States hurried to photograph the solar eclipse with the latest, greatest equipment, capturing groundbreaking images of the Sun’s corona.

Now, the Eclipse Megamovie team has released the remarkable new dataset that resulted from this effort — the first-ever, white-light eclipse dataset with calibration frames, spanning more than a cumulative hour and a half of observations of the solar corona.

This data, which includes 52,469 total photographs uploaded by project volunteers, is now live: https://eclipsemegamovie.org/database.

The data include contributions from 143 unique, mobile, volunteer-led “observatories” – people with cameras charged with taking precise images of the eclipse, taking extra steps to allow the painstaking calibration required to reveal how the corona evolves from one person's view to the next.

Researchers around the world can now use these observations to identify solar jets leaving the Sun's surface and study how solar plumes grow and develop.

The public can also peruse and download all of this data, which is highly accessible and searchable by observatory name and location.

"Thank you for all you do and have done for us,” said Eclipse Megamovie volunteer Jessi McKenna. “Everyone in the group has been amazingly supportive of each other.

And those who are running things are always so obviously appreciative of everyone who has contributed to the project."

The files include data at three different levels of processing, from raw (level 1) data to calibrated (level 3) data, in a format called FITS, or Flexible Image Transport System. It is the standard astronomical data format used by NASA and the International Astronomical Union.

Of the 143 unique observatories involved, 28 observatories had clear skies, sufficient calibration frames, and enough unique exposure times to create calibrated level 3 images.

The Eclipse Megamovie team at Sonoma State University and the University of California, Berkeley and collaborators at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center began working together long before the eclipse to construct this database, together with EdEon STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) Learning programmer Troy Wilson.

But crucially, Eclipse Megamovie 2024 was made possible because of hundreds of volunteers who journeyed into the path of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse with their cameras, patience, and curiosity.

Landslide and Avalanche Debris Litter Hubbard Glacier

Feb 25, 2026

On December 6, 2025, a powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the remote St. Elias Mountains, a highly glaciated range that spans the Yukon-Alaska border.

The quake shook the landscape beneath Hubbard Glacier, sending ice and rock careening down the range’s steep slopes. The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite offered some of the earliest views of the changed landscape.

Geophysicist Eric Fielding and colleagues at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) typically use satellite data to map the displacement of the ground after major earthquakes strike land.

But in this region, such maps—known as interferograms—are not possible because the ground lies buried beneath a layer of glacial ice that’s at least 700 meters (2,000 feet) thick. “The cryosphere is covering up the geosphere,” Fielding said.

Instead, clues to the earthquake’s destructive power lay strewn atop the ice surface. The shaking on December 6 unleashed landslides and avalanches that swept debris onto lower, flatter stretches of the glacier.

The debris is visible in radar imagery acquired by NISAR on December 8, two days after the quake (right). For comparison, the NISAR image on the left shows the same area on November 26, a week and a half before the quake.

Where the slides have deposited rock, snow, and other debris, surfaces have become rougher, which scatters more energy back toward the sensor and makes those areas appear bright in the December 8 image (the roughest areas are shown in dark green).

Areas with smooth surfaces reflect little of the radar’s energy directly back to the satellite sensor, so these parts of the images appear dark (shown in purple).

Note that there are some exceptionally rough, green surfaces beyond the new slide areas that remain relatively unchanged between the two images.

The largest slide in the scene appears to be cascading down the flank of Mount King George, but it’s far from the only one. Numerous others scar the surrounding terrain, including areas to the west along the slopes of Mount Logan, Canada’s tallest mountain.

Alex Gardner, a glaciologist at JPL and member of the NISAR science team, reviewed the images with Fielding. “The sheer number and magnitude of avalanches and landslides is astounding,” Gardner said. “I’ve personally never seen anything like this before.”

A separate preliminary analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey identified more than 700 potential landslides and snow avalanches, with an especially high concentration northwest of the epicenter along the fault rupture.

Follow-up flights by the Yukon Geological Survey on December 12 provided a closer look, showing some slopes remained actively unstable, with dust still hanging in the air, and widespread damage to glacial ice.

Much of the debris that settled atop the region’s glacial ice is likely being transported toward the ocean by the glaciers' ongoing seaward flow, which acts as a natural "conveyor belt."

For example, a tributary glacier of Hubbard north of Mount King George, which had previously moved at a sluggish pace, entered a surging phase in November before the earthquake.

It is now moving downslope at what Gardner described as “breakneck speeds” of up to 6,000 meters per year (about 50 feet per day).

Although the region is uninhabited, the slides and damaged ice could pose new hazards for mountaineers and other expeditions, USGS noted in a December 18 update.

The town of Yakutat, Alaska, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of the epicenter, is a common staging point for people exploring the area.

NISAR observations are expected to provide imagery to support future natural disaster response efforts.

NASA’s PACE Satellite Provides New Pollution Measuring Product

February 24, 2026

NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite, known for measuring tiny organisms in the ocean and particles in the atmosphere, has a new capability: it can track nitrogen dioxide pollution.

Nitrogen dioxide is a harmful air pollutant produced from burning fossil fuels and wood. The trace gas can also react with sunlight and oxygen to make ground-level ozone, which is harmful to people, animals, and plants.

Researchers can now use this new product to pinpoint emission sources as small as an individual factory or vehicle pollution from specific highway corridors, supporting efforts to reduce health risks, optimize urban and transportation planning, and protect agricultural productivity.

The PACE Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) measures a continuous spectrum of light — from ultraviolet through visible to near-infrared light. Like the ocean organisms, nitrogen dioxide has a unique spectral fingerprint which OCI can detect.

To track nitrogen dioxide, scientists tapped into the capabilities of another Earth-observing satellite.

The Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-5P satellite monitors air quality and specializes in measurements such as nitrogen dioxide, but at a lower spatial resolution than OCI.

Using TROPOMI data, scientists trained PACE to measure amounts of nitrogen dioxide, allowing for emission monitoring at finer scales than other satellite data sets.

Stealth Project Hail Mary Town Hall At NASA JPL?

February 24, 2026

OK. This is cool – the sort of thing NASA PAO ought to try to be doing – given the free earned PR they can get and the synergy that can emerge from real science and entertainment.

But so far NASA has said nothing about this – and it happens tomorrow. Is this just an internal JPL thing or is the entire agency going to be watching – but only internally?

Oh yes, since the whole idea is to try and cross leverage NASA and the movie – which is getting massive advance PR – one would think that this would be on NASA TV for the rest of us ~300 million taxpayer/potential ticket buyers.

No mention is made at the official movie account at @projecthailmary (but the unofficial @HailMaryLogs does) nor is there any mention at the JPL website or NASA’s main website or the NASA Live schedule or the NASA YouTube channel or the NASA+ scheduled events page or @NASA on X etc. etc. Oh well.

Let’s Do Some Astrobiology Outreach, NASA

February 24, 2026

One of the most awe inspiring things NASA does is Astrobiology – the search for life elsewhere in the universe. Yet despite this astonishing work, the NASA Astrobiology program is a scattered mess and stumbles upon itself to engage the public.

And it can’t even link NASA’s few stories on this topic to their own program. Oh yes: the White House talks about this topic now and it is likely to get mentioned in the State of the Union speech tonight – one way or another.

The trailer for Apple TV’s “For All Mankind” season 5 trailer just dropped – and they open with a prime task: “our mission is to find life”. Here’s a chance to expand NASA’s reach beyond the usual suspects – and maybe even make a few converts.

Why not have weekly chats about this? What’s accurate and what is not – and why. The future of Mars Sample Return and the presidential mandate to go to Mars would seemingly be ample rationale for doing so. Just sayin’.

When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized. When people can behave like that, and knowing that they are Crooked and Corrupt Politicians, so bad for our Country, we should send them back from where they came — as fast as possible. They can only damage the United States of America, they can do nothing to help it. They should actually get on a boat with Trump Deranged Robert De Niro, another sick and demented person with, I believe, an extremely Low IQ, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing or saying — some of which is seriously CRIMINAL! When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realized that he may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O’Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to come back into our beautiful United States. The only difference between De Niro and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn’t saying much. The good news is that America is now Bigger, Better, Richer, and Stronger than ever before, and it’s driving them absolutely crazy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

🧵 THREAD: Reid Hoffman: the quintessential "Defender of Democracy"

LinkedIn founder and tech mogul Reid Hoffman has spent endless millions making himself indispensable to the democracy ecosystem. Here's just a sampling :

🔹 Created fake "Russian bot accounts" to create allegations of Russia helping a 2017 Senate election

🔹 Mis-stated the extent of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and how long he continued to meet with Epstein

🔹 Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute, the mysterious foreign-policy thinktank which receives money from both US and foreign governments

🔹 Highly influential in foreign policy circles: Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, and more

🔹Along with George Soros, one of the biggest donors to American Bridge 21st Century, a Brock-ran PAC designed to trash Republican candidates

You'd think that @RadioFreeTom , if he were so worried about lack of expertise, he would be calling out those people who spend enormous amounts of money interfering and shaping US elections. But, instead, nah, it's the West Virginia blue collar guy who's ruining America.... not the fact that people like Reid Hoffman and Jeffrey Epstein can buy their way into the highest levels of global influence.

Here's the highlights of Reid Hoffman.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread👇

NASA Study to Analyze Fermented Food Samples from Space

Feb 25, 2026

Certain nutrients critical for human health lack the shelf life needed to span multi-year missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA’s BioNutrients-3 is part of an experiment series testing ways to use microorganisms to produce these nutrients in space and on demand.

The on-demand nature of this experiment is similar to making nutrient-dense fermented foods on Earth, such as how milk is transformed by good bacteria into yogurt. But in this case, there is a focus on producing specific types and quantities of nutrients essential for future space explorers.

Samples from BioNutrients-3, along with other valuable experiments, are set to return from the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft supporting the company’s 33rd commercial resupply mission for NASA.

The spacecraft is set to depart the space station on Thursday, Feb. 26 for its return to Earth. Watch NASA’s live coverage of the undocking and departure starting at 11:45 a.m. EST on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel.

Once the samples return to Earth, the science team at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will perform analysis procedures.

Results from this study can help NASA develop methods to produce vital nutrients that could support human deep space exploration as part of NASA’s Artemis campaign.

NASA’s BioNutrients-3 is part of the Synthetic Biology project, which is funded by the Game Changing Development program within NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Exclusive: Charter Space Launches an Insurance Brokerage

February 25, 2026

Charter Space is done dipping its toes in the insurance market—opting instead to cannonball in.

Charter launched its own insurance brokerage this week—the Charter Interplanetary Risk Corporation (CIRC)—to help space companies secure coverage for their missions and underlying businesses.

The new nationally-licensed brokerage builds on years of developments Charter made in the space insurance realm.

Charter has spent most of its 5 years in business optimizing mission management software, aiming to help space companies build complex spacecraft and reduce manual admin time.

In 2024, the company announced that it would be using its data and expertise on spacecraft components and development to help inform insurance underwriters of the risks associated with various space missions.

In partnerships with some of the world’s largest space insurers, Charter’s aim was to lower underwriting costs, and open the door for more space businesses to gain coverage.

Now, CIRC will act on behalf of businesses to directly facilitate policy placements, earning a commission on policies placed through the brokerage.

How it works: The process sounds as simple as your typical car insurance ad, with “quotes in just one-click,” according to Charter’s website.

Users of Charter’s Ubik mission management software can secure coverage in as little as two weeks, according to the company, while customers outside the system can expect the process to take two to six months.

CIRC will act as a full system of record, eventually taking all of that information to insurance providers to streamline quotes and coverage.

Like a good Charter: CIRC aims to provide space companies with access to full end-to-end policies, including:

Pre-launch coverage on manufacturing, integration, test campaigns, and hardware transport;

Launch coverage;

On-orbit policies, including property and casualty insurance to protect against in-space hardware failures or liability caused to customers or other third-parties.

CIRC has a minimum insurable asset value of $2M, but the brokerage isn’t just focusing on the sci-fi side of things.

CIRC also aims to offer space companies the full gamut of commercial coverage options, including workers compensation, property and equipment coverage, general liability, cyber liability, technology E&O, and directors and officers liability.

“By brokering faster access to better insurance options through CIRC, we’re removing friction, accelerating deals, and empowering more companies to pursue ambitious missions with confidence,” Charter CEO Yuk Chi Chan told Payload.

The bottom line: Charter has estimated that as many as 97% of operational satellites in orbit are flying uninsured. With tens of thousands of new sats projected to launch before 2030, there’s a lot of paperwork ahead.

CIRC has hired a team of space sector and insurance vets to churn out space-policies. The company expects that by handling all of the workload traditionally placed on satellite operators, and 90% of the manual work for underwriters, it can foster an influx of newly insured sats and drive down insurance premiums.

“CIRC is a space-exclusive brokerage with a singular focus on the space industry,” Charter’s new SVP of Insurance Operations Amanda Lipps told Payload via email.

“This enables better advice…more competitive premiums, improved insurability, and comprehensive insurance coverage available that can grow and scale.”

All CIRC needs now is a catchy jingle.

Wyoming Diesel Delete Mechanic Pardoned By Trump Goes To State Of The Union

February 25, 2026

One year ago,Troy Lake was in federal prison for "deleting" emissions systems on ailing diesel engines. On Tuesday, he attended President Donald Trump's State of the Union address in Washington, D.C.

One year ago, Troy Lake was on his second week in federal prison.

He spent seven months there, including his 65th birthday and 40th wedding anniversary, for deleting emissions systems from ailing diesel engines.

On Tuesday, Lake joined U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, at President Donald Trump's State of the Union address in Washington, DC.That’s after Lummis championed his cause — and Trump pardoned him Nov. 7.

Then Trump’s U.S. Department ofJustice announced in January that while diesel “delete” mechanics may still face civil penalties, the federal departmentwould stop pursuing criminal cases against them.

“Yeah, I’m excited,” Lake told Cowboy State Daily ahead of the president’s speech.“It’s just crazy how things like this are going.”

He said he didn’t know how much he’d be able to garner interest in the cause of other small business owners like himself, though he hoped to do so.

He pointedto Lummis’ proposed legislation to free imprisoned delete mechanics and Alaska RepublicanU.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan’sbill to require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to update its regulations to account for how diesel exhaust fluid(DEF) can make engines falter in cold weather.

Many diesel mechanics were prosecuted after the federal government tilted five years ago during the Biden administration from civil to criminal enforcement against them.

“My biggest thing is obviously thanking Senator Lummis, and President Trump,” said Lake.

He said he felt badly accepting the invitation to the speech because he wanted recognition, rather, for “all the people who helped me get the pardon.”

Picking Up Engines

Lake said Lummis’ senior communications advisor Joe Jacksoncalled to invite him last Wednesday night.

He was supposed to go to Nevada to pick up four engines, and maybe a transmission, as part of rebuilding the businesshis criminal prosecution reduced to what his defense attorney once called “a shadow of its former self.”

Not to worry, said Lake: He’ll pick up the engines next week.

‘Thrilled’

Lummis told Cowboy State Daily in a statement Tuesday that she was “thrilled” to welcome Lake to Washington, D.C.

“Troy is a hardworking American who was unfairly targeted by the Biden Justice Department, simply for maintaining diesel engines in school buses, ambulances and fire trucksto keep them operational in Wyoming’s harsh climate,” said Lummis. “President Trump made the right call in pardoning him.”

Issuing the statement before the speech, Lummis said she and Lake were looking forward to it.

R-36 Orb: The forbidden space weapon hidden behind ‘alien’ sightings

Feb 25, 2026 08:34 AM EST

In the spring of 1967, a series of unusual sightings began to grip the Soviet Union.

From the rural landscapes of Ukraine to the robust Caucasus Mountains, thousands of citizens reported seeing massive, glowing crescent shapes gliding silently through the evening sky.

The sightings were so consistent and widespread that they sparked a national UFO craze. Local newspapers shared eyewitness accounts, and amateur research groups formed to track the “visitors.”

However, the truth behind these strange lights was far more terrestrial and dangerous.

A weapon hiding in plain sight

While people searched the skies for aliens, the Soviet military was secretly testing a revolutionary and controversial delivery system for nuclear warheads: the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS).

Known as the R-36 Orb inside the military, the weapon was designed to bypass American defenses by launching a warhead into low Earth orbit and then “dropping” it onto a target from an unexpected direction.

The mysterious crescent shapes were actually the physical footprint of these tests. When the R-36 Orb reached the end of its orbit, it fired retro-rockets to slow down for re-entry.

In the thin upper atmosphere, the exhaust from these engines spread out into a wide, curved trail. Since the tests happened at dusk, the setting sun lit up these exhaust particles, making them glow against the dark sky.

The intelligence race

The timing of these tests raised diplomatic concerns for the Kremlin. At the time, the Soviet Union had signed the Outer Space Treaty, which prohibited the placement of weapons of mass destruction in orbit.

While Soviet citizens wondered about extraterrestrials, U.S. intelligence was already piecing the puzzle together. By November 1967, the U.S. Department of Defense publicly accused Moscow of building an orbital nuclear strike weapon.

On realizing that UFO reports were giving Western intelligence clues about rocket technology, the Soviet government abruptly restricted media coverage of the sightings, and later tests were moved to times when the sun wouldn’t light up the exhaust plumes.

A legacy of secrecy

The FOBS program finally came to an end after more than a decade of operation. A small fleet of these orbital missiles was stationed in silos until 1983, when they were finally dismantled under the terms of the SALT II treaty.

The mystery of the crescents was not made public until decades later. Comparisons with modern rocket launches, such as those by SpaceX, have since confirmed the science behind the 1967 sightings.

Infrared footage of today’s rockets performing “boost-back” burns shows the same crescent-shaped pressure waves that once terrified the Cold War observers.

Today, the “Great Soviet Crescent” stands as a reminder of a time when science fiction and military reality mixed during the space race.

What felt like an encounter with the unknown was actually the glowing exhaust of the world’s first orbital nuclear weapon.

'The Space Force is my baby': Trump lauds military space in State of the Union but skips Artemis 2 moon crew namedrop

February 25, 2026

President Donald Trump just gave the longest State of the Union address in recorded history, a speech filled with examples of the United States' leadership status in the world, but it omitted one possible point of pride: NASA's upcoming Artemis 2 moonshot, America's first lunar flight with astronauts in over 50 years, which didn't even get a mention.

Trump's speech on Tuesday night (Feb. 24) lasted more than 107 minutes, setting a new record for presidential addresses before Congress.

But there wasn't a lot for space fans to sink their teeth into, even though NASA's Artemis 2 astronaut crew was there in person.

The president did laud the U.S. Space Force, the military branch that was established in December 2019, during Trump's first term in office.

"This is a different fighting force than we had years ago, when we fought to tie," Trump said about 90 minutes into Tuesday's State of the Union (SOTU) speech.

"It's a great fighting force. I'm so proud of it. Look at Space Force. The Space Force is my baby, because we did that. My baby's becoming so important."

He then discussed the U.S. military's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last month. The Space Force apparently played a key role in that mission, which was known as Operation Absolute Resolve.

There was just one other mention of the final frontier in Tuesday night's SOTU, the second of Trump's second term in office. It occurred near the end, as Trump waxed poetic about what America has achieved over the first 250 years of its history.

"Together, we mastered the world's mightiest industries, shattered history's monstrous tyrannies, and we liberated millions from the chains of fascism, communism, oppression and terror," Trump said.

"Americans lifted humanity into the skies on the wings of aluminum and steel, and then we launched mankind into the stars on rockets powered by sheer American will and unyielding American pride."

The president ended his address without mentioning NASA's Artemis 2 mission, which will launch four astronauts around the moon as soon as April 1. It will be the first crewed flight beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17 back in 1972.

That omission is somewhat surprising, because the Artemis 2 astronauts — NASA's Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency — attended the SOTU as guests of Mike Johnson (R-La.), Speaker of the House of Representatives.

And the Artemis program, which aims to establish one or more bases near the moon's south pole in the next five years or so, is another one of Trump's babies:

It was established in December 2017, during his first term. Back then, the president said he wanted Artemis astronauts to land on the moon by late 2024, which he envisioned would be the tail end of his second term in office.

That didn't happen, of course. The program has experienced multiple delays over the years, including one that was announced just this past weekend.

NASA had been gearing up to launch Artemis 2 as soon as March 6, but a glitch with the mission's Space Launch System rocket is forcing team members to roll the vehicle off the launch pad for troubleshooting.

That rollback, which will occur on Wednesday (Feb. 25), pushes the Artemis 2 liftoff back to April 1 at the earliest.

The Artemis 2 quartet — who went into quarantine on Friday (Feb. 21) to prep for their flight, only to leave it a day later — didn't get much screen time during Tuesday night's speech.

The only spaceflyer we saw on TV in NBC's broadcast was U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who flew four space shuttle missions during his days as a NASA astronaut.

The Trump administration, by the way, recently censured Kelly — a former Navy fighter pilot with 39 combat missions under his belt — over his participation in a video that urged U.S. servicemembers not to obey illegal orders.

Kelly has sued the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over that censure campaign.

Last year's State Of The Union speech had a slightly spacier feel to it. During that speech, Trump said that Americans "will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars."

Aliens DO exist – they just haven't visited Earth, NASA veteran claims

Updated: 05:37 EST, 25 February 2026

Aliens exist – they just haven't visited Earth, a NASA veteran has claimed.

Dr Gentry Lee has worked at the US space agency since 1968, when he first got involved with the Viking mission to Mars.

He has since spent more than half a century designing probes to land on distant planets – but argues Earth has not yet been visited by other–worldly beings.

'There exists nothing today that says any alien or any alien machine has ever landed on the planet Earth,' he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Phoenix.

'If you believe otherwise, you are being misled.'

According to the expert, in every case of a supposed UFO sighting or alien encounter, there is likely a simpler explanation for those phenomena.

But when it comes to distant planets, life has 'just got to be there somewhere'.

He added: 'We are going to find life of some kind somewhere else. The odds are overwhelming.'

Scientists generally believe that the best candidates for alien life are 'Earth–like' worlds orbiting distant stars in other parts of the galaxy.

One such contender is the Earth–sized planet TRAPPIST–1e, located just 40 light–years from Earth, which is located safely within its star's habitable 'Goldilocks zone'.

Another promising candidate is the planet K2–18b, which some studies suggest could be teeming with life.

Located 124 light–years from Earth in the constellation of Leo, K2–18b is a giant world covered entirely by oceans – making it what scientists call a 'Hycean world'.

Even in our own solar system, Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan could have the right conditions for life to emerge and thrive.

Dr Lee also said that space scientists must be prepared to find alien forms that are very different from the life found on Earth.

He said that all life on our planet – 'you, me, an elephant, slime mould, bacteria' – relies on DNA to reproduce.

He added: 'Extraterrestrial biologists would come to the Earth and would go back and report: "Not a terribly interesting planet. All life is the same. All of it reproduces in the same way using the same major [DNA] molecule."'

Mr Lee is currently chief engineer for the Solar System Exploration Directorate at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

He oversaw the engineering of the Curiosity rover for Mars, the Dawn mission to two asteroids, the Juno mission to Jupiter and the Grail mission to the moon.

Speaking to promote a new documentary, called Spaceman, Dr Lee said that space telescopes such as Kepler had studied a significant 'slice' of the galaxy in our neighbourhood of the Milky Way and found huge numbers of planets orbiting other stars.

'If the slice of the heavens that Kepler looked at is representative [of the whole Milky Way], and we have no reason to believe it's not, then there are close to a trillion planets in our galaxy alone,' he said.

'So you can go through all the probabilities of life forming [on some of them] and sooner or later you say, it's just gotta be there somewhere.'

Yesterday, NASA gave a hilarious response to President Trump following his demand for UFO files – dashing hope for an extraterrestrial breakthrough.

Earlier this month, the hunt for life beyond Earth took an unexpected twist when Barack Obama claimed aliens are real.

The former president later went on to clarify he was not talking about extraterrestrial forms visiting Earth, and that he believes life must instead exist somewhere in the 'vast cosmos'.

But his comments prompted Donald Trump to lash out at his predecessor for allegedly sharing 'classified information'.

The President said he has directed his Secretary of War to release all government files related to aliens, extraterrestrial life and UFOs.

NASA finally responded to his demands – but it crushes any hope that a collection of spooky documents are about to be released.

'We continue to embrace President Trump's open science commitment as an agency,' NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens wrote on X.

But she added: 'As [NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman] has said, there are certainly things he's come across in the job that he can't explain… but they relate more to unnecessarily costly programs than they do to extraterrestrial life!'

Summers To Resign From Teaching Appointments, Relinquish University Professorship Over Epstein Ties2/25/26

Former Harvard President Larry Summers willresign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship— Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time, a Harvard spokesperson confirmed to The Crimson.

Summers also resigned Wednesday from his role as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, aposition he has held since 2011, according to the spokesperson.He will not teach or take on new advisees.

The resignation marks an extraordinary unraveling for Summers, long one of the most influential figures in American economics.His career spanned prize-winning research, service as United States Treasury Secretary, and the presidency of Harvard.

In a statement to The Crimson, Summers wrote that the decision to leave was “difficult” and that he remained “grateful to the thousands of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach and work with since coming to Harvard as a graduate student 50 years ago.”

“Free of formal responsibility, as President Emeritus and a retired professor,I look forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of global economic issues,” he added.

Summers’ standing began to collapse after a cache of emails disclosed in November revealed details of a long-standing personal relationship between Summers and convicted sex offender Jeffrey E. Epstein.

The correspondence revealed that Summers regularly exchanged messages with Epstein about women, politics, and Harvard-linked projects over at least seven years— staying in contact as late as July 2019, the day before Epstein’s final arrest.

The blowback was immediate and fierce. After the initial release of the emails, Summers said he would continue teaching. But as more correspondence was reviewed, he announced he would step back from public commitments and leave his teaching post. In the days that followed, Summers stepped down or parted ways with a slew of organizations, including the New York Times, Bloomberg, and OpenAI.

Shortly thereafter,the American Economic Association — the profession’s foremost academic organization — issued a lifetime ban against Summers.

In response to the revelations,Harvard launched a formal review of Summers’ ties to Epsteinas part of a broader re-investigation into the University’s historical connections to the disgraced financier.The probe also encompasses other University affiliates and donors implicated in the documents.

In late December, a second tranche of Epstein-related records released by the Justice Department revealed thatSummers had been designated as a successor executor in a 2014 draft of Epstein’s will, positioning him to oversee the financier’s estate if the primary executors were unable to serve. (A spokesperson for Summers told The Crimson at the time thatSummers “had absolutely no knowledge that he was included in an early version of Epstein’s will.”)

The correspondence between Summers and Epstein —=which tallies thousands of emails and phone calls — revealed an intimacy that far exceeded the bounds of a professional relationship. Across dozens of threads,Summers sought Epstein’s advice on personal matters, including his pursuit of a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee.

Arming Ukraine with nukes: Western elites have ‘lost touch with reality’

24 Feb, 2026 15:22

Ukraine could become a partial nuclear power as its Western backers desperately seek to avoid NATO’s defeat in a proxy war against Russia – at least according to Moscow’s intelligence services.

The claim

On Tuesday, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) warned that elements in the British and French governments who have “lost touch with reality” are considering a gross breach of their commitments under the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty on nuclear weapons.

Officials in London and Paris are allegedly weighing options to support Kiev as it refuses concessions to Russia and reportedly prepares for up to three more years of hostilities funded by Western Europe.

According to the SVR, the options include arming Ukraine with a nuclear capability through the “covert transfer of relevant European-made components, equipment, and technologies” that Kiev could claim as domestically developed, or through the direct supply of a French submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead.

Another option, the SVR said, is pushing Kiev to build a ‘dirty bomb’ – a non-nuclear device designed to contaminate territory with radioactive material, long considered a nightmare scenario for terrorist attacks.

Russian officials have for years identified a Ukrainian dirty bomb as a major threat, citing Kiev’s ready access to necessary components.

Did Ukraine really ‘give up its nukes’?

Ukrainian officials often claim their nation once possessed the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal and gave it up for false security promises.

Vladimir Zelensky suggested at the 2022 Munich Security Conference that the decision could be reversed. The conflict with Russia escalated soon after the provocative remarks.

In reality, nuclear weapons were present on Ukrainian soil after the Soviet collapse but were never “Ukraine’s arsenal” – Kiev could not launch them.

The US pressured Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan to transfer the missiles to Russia, with three memorandums signed in Budapest in 1994.

In 2012, Minsk said the US and UK breached their commitment “to refrain from economic coercion” of Belarus made in Budapest, after they imposed unilateral sanctions. The rebuke was brushed off by the West.

"Do You See What Happens Larry...": Summers Out At Harvard After Epstein Scandal

Who could have seen this coming?

Aug 2019: Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers Rode On Epstein's 'Lolita Express'

The former Harvard President and Clinton-era Treasury Secretary has been cited four times on the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein's 'Lolita Express'. During his first trip, he was still working in the Clinton administration. And during his most recent - in 2005 - he and his wife accompanied Epstein to Epstein's private island just days after their wedding.

During his first trip on Sept. 19, 1998, (while he was Treasury Secretary) Summers flew from the airport in Aspen, Colo. to Dulles international.

"I Did Nothing Illicit": Bill Gates Begins Apology Tour Over His Epstein Ties

A week after Bill Gates abruptly pulled out as a keynote speaker at a high-profile global AI summit in India, the left-wing billionaire finally mustered enough nerve to "take responsibility for his actions" over his ties to late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a town hall meeting with Gates Foundation employees.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Gates told employees at a town hall event for the foundation on Tuesday that he never spent time with Epstein's victims, and never visited Epstein's island.

He revealed that Epstein later learned about two affairs he had with Russian women, but said those relationships did not involve Epstein's victims. Gates said photos in the Epstein files show him with redacted women were taken by Epstein's assistants after meetings.

Did Gates fall into a Russian honeypot?

"I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit," Gates emphasized, according to a recording reviewed by WSJ journalists.

Gates continued, "To be clear, I never spent any time with victims, the women around him."

"It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein" and bring Gates Foundation executives into meetings with the sex offender, Gates said, adding, "I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made."

Last week, the $86 billion philanthropic body's last-minute decision to yank Gates was a major embarrassment and came as the Epstein fallout worsened, with many high-profile people under fire.

Bluffton City Councilman Blake Fiechter, a True America First Patriot, is running against “RINO” State Senator Travis Holdman, in Indiana’s 19th Senate District who, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, in a District that I won by 39 points, which puts the United States Congress in jeopardy. Holdman and his RINO friends made Indiana, a State I love and have been very good to, the only State in the Country that essentially said they don’t care about what happens in the United States Congress. We could have easily picked up two seats in Indiana, so Holdman, an America Last politician, put our Majority in the House of Representatives at risk, thereby putting our Country in a very dangerous position in losing some of the magnificent gains that we have made over the last year, since I assumed the Office of President.

On the other hand, Blake Fiechter, a very successful Real Estate Broker, Proud Husband, Loving Father to three girls, and a Highly Respected Councilman in the wonderful City of Bluffton, has dedicated his life to serving the Community which he loves so much. As your next State Senator, Blake will fight tirelessly to Protect "Hoosier" Values, Promote our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Promote American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Support our Brave Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.

Blake Fiechter has my Complete and Total Endorsement against RINO Travis Holdman — BLAKE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!

It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot Tracey Powell, a fantastic Candidate for Indiana's 21st State Senate District (which I won by 24 points!). Tracey is running against a pathetic RINO incumbent named Jim Buck, who, for whatever reason, voted against Redistricting in Indiana, which puts the United States Congress in jeopardy. Buck and his RINO friends made Indiana, a State I love and have been very good to, the only State in the Country that essentially said they don’t care if Democrats steal Republican House seats to take over the United States Congress. We could have easily picked up two seats in Indiana, helping Democrat seat theft in Blue States, but instead, Buck, an America Last politician, would rather give away our Majority in the House of Representatives, thereby putting our Country in a very dangerous position that could cost us some of the magnificent gains that we have made over the last year, since I assumed the Office of President.

Tracey Powell, on the other hand, is a successful Businessman, Chiropractor, Farmer, and Highly Respected Tipton County Commissioner, who has dedicated his life to serving his Community. As your next State Senator, Tracey will fight tirelessly to Protect "Hoosier" Values, Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Champion our Amazing Farmers and Agriculture, Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Support our Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, Advance Election Integrity, Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.

Tracey Powell has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next State Senator from Indiana's 21st Senate District. Unlike incumbent Jim Buck, a “RINO” who failed the wonderful people of Indiana so badly, TRACEY POWELL IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!

A Name From The Past – FBI Raids Home of Alberto Carvalho

February 25, 2026 | Sundance |

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, you will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy he was. {SEARCH TOOL}

Carvalho was tightly aligned with the Obama/Biden administration, the “my brothers keeper” program and the Dade/Broward County “Promise Program” where high schoolkids who committed felonies were directed away from the criminal justice systemand instead given school punishments (suspensions etc.).

I spent months fighting corrupt Miami-Dade officials and getting transcripts frominternal police investigators who admitted to the corruption within the program. It was jaw-dropping.

Well, Carvalho left Miami-Dade and went to work in Los Angeles. Now this appears:

BREAKING: FBI LA confirms they are currently executing search warrants at two addresses, which a separate federal law enforcement source tells Fox News are the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. LAUSD is the 2nd biggest school district in the country.

We are told the underlying affidavit in support of the search warrant is under seal, so it’s unclear what potential wrongdoing Carvalho may be suspected of. More as we get it. {SOURCE}

In 2013 an investigation into the Miami-DadeSchool Police Department (M-DSPD) uncoveredseveral police officers, and School Resource Officers, admitting to breaking the lawbecause they wereinstructed to do soby M-DSPD Police Chief Charles Hurley. During the investigation, ChiefHurley admitted to giving the police officers instructions to hide criminal conduct by students, because ofspecific demands by School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho. Trayvon Martin was a beneficiary of the program.

Alberto Carvalho is a very well connectedpolitical figure among Democrats.[Carvalho also has a zipper problem]It was Carvalho’s program to use the police toinflate statistical improvements in schoolsthat eventually led to neighboring Broward County doing the same thing in 2013. That led to the Parkland school shooting.

Non-stop Russian drone attacks targeting Naftogaz facilities for two days

25.02.2026 14:37

Since February 24, Russian forces have launched around 60 drones targeting gas infrastructure in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions.

According to Ukrinform, the Naftogaz Group reported this.

“For two days, strikes on gas storage facilities and production assets in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions have continued non-stop. In total, the enemy deployed around 60 attack drones,” the company said in a statement.

There is damage at the sites. “As soon as the security situation allows, company specialists, together with State Emergency Service of Ukraine units, will assess the damage and begin recovery work,” commented Serhii Koretskyi, CEO of the Naftogaz of Ukraine.

As reported, since February 24, 2022, 312 employees of the Naftogaz Group have been killed as a result of Russian aggression.

1st Ukrainian drone factory starts production in UK, Zaluzhnyi says

February 25, 2026 7:28 pm

The first Ukrainian defense plant in the U.K., Ukrspecsystems, has begun operations, producing drones that have "long proven their effectiveness in high-tech warfare," Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.K. and former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi announced on Feb. 25.

Without specifying the types of drones being produced, Zaluzhnyi said the launch of Ukrainian drone company Ukrspecsystems' production in the U.K. has "a deep strategic logic" for integration into the British defense industry.

U.K. Defence Journal reported in September 2025 that Ukrspecsystems, which it described as Ukraine's largest drone manufacturer, has committed a 200 million-pound (nearly $270 million) investment to build a factory and a test and training site in eastern England.

"This is not a shift of the center of gravity away from Ukraine," Zaluzhnyi, the former Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, said in his Telegram post.

"It is an expansion of our joint capabilities and the creation of a second line of defense that guarantees continuity of production."

The announcement comes as Ukrainian defense companies ramp up production domestically despite the threat of Russian missiles and drones.

Trying to gather more funds to boost production, many such companies are cooperating with Western partners in exchange for knowledge and battlefield experience.

"Our engineers are creating solutions that are born directly from frontline experience. They are improving systems not based on theoretical research, but on the results of real combat applications," Zaluzhnyi said.

Ukrspecsystems had not released a statement on its website about the launch of production in the U.K. at the time of publication.

Among the drones that Ukrspecsystems produces are Shark reconnaissance drones, praised by Ukrainian officials for their effectiveness despite the cost.

"We are creating a new quality of partnership, where allies not only support each other but also form a common industrial security base," Zaluzhnyi said.

Hungary to deploy troops against potential ‘Ukrainian attacks’

Budapest has ordered units to guard critical infrastructure sites in areas bordering Ukraine amid the Druzhba oil pipeline standoff

Hungarian Prime MinisterViktor Orban has ordered military units and additional police to guard energy infrastructuresites in his country’s east, citing the threat of potential Ukrainian attacks.

Orban announced the deployment on Wednesday amid the continuing standoff between Budapest and Kiev over the Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, which until recently carried Russian crude to Hungary and Slovakia via Ukraine.

The pipeline went offline in late January, with Kiev claiming it was damaged in Russian strikes, which Moscow has denied.Both Hungary and Slovakia have accused Ukraine of deliberately withholding supplies for political reasons, threatening retaliation.

Announcing the move, Orban cited intelligence obtained by the country’s security services about the potential attacks and stressed thatHungary “cannot be blackmailed” by Kiev.

“I have ordered reinforced protection of critical infrastructure, troop deployment where necessary, increased police presence,and a drone ban in Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg county,” the prime minister wrote on X, referring to the Hungarian region bordering Ukraine.

Orban’s political director, Balazs Orban, claimed that information available to the country’sauthorities indicated that Kiev has been “preparing further actions aimed at disrupting the operation of Hungary’s energy system.”

The deployment comesafter Budapest vetoed the latest EU package of sanctionsagainst Russia,as well as a €90 billion ($106 billion) emergency loan for Ukraine. The loan was agreed upon late last year, after Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic opted out of contributing to it financially.

The veto has been condemned by the EU leadership, whichaccused Orban of bailing on his promise to support the loan schemeand undermining the “credibility of decisions taken collectively.”

“Any breach of this commitment constitutes a violation of the principle of sincere cooperation,” European Council President Antonio Costa told Orban in a letter.

The Hungarian prime minister shot back at Costa on Wednesday,stating he will not support any pro-Ukrainian moves until Kiev returns “to normality.”

“We take a decision financially favorable to Ukraine that I personally disapprove, thenUkraine creates an energy emergency situation in Hungary, and you ask me to pretend that nothing happened,”Orban told the EU Council chief in a letter.

F.B.I. Raids Los Angeles Schools Chief’s Home and District Headquarters

F.B.I. agents executed search warrants at the locations. The target of their investigation was unclear.

F.B.I. agents raided the headquarters of the Los Angeles Unified School District and the home of its superintendent on Wednesday, federal authorities said.

F.B.I. officials said that the agency was executing search warrants at the school district and at the home of the superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, but that the accompanying affidavits had been sealed by the court. They did not elaborate on the target of the investigation.

Neither the district nor Mr. Carvalho immediately responded to requests for comment.

The superintendent clashed with federal authorities in the past over immigration enforcement efforts at school sites in Los Angeles Unified, which is the nation’s second-largest school district and the largest in California.

Last year, after Homeland Security Investigations agents had been turned away from two Los Angeles elementary schools where they said they were conducting welfare checks on undocumented students, Mr. Carvalho condemned their actions at a news conference that drew national attention.

Explaining his impassioned response, Mr. Carvalho, a native of Portugal, said that as a young man, he had for a time been undocumented for a time in this country.

Israel delivers autonomous BlueWhale mini-submarine to Germany in historic defense milestone

The IAI is a regular supplier to the German Army, having provided it with the Arrow 3 system, and has received an additional contract from the German Air Force.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) on Wednesday delivered its autonomous BlueWhale mini-submarine to the German Navy, further cementing defense relations between Israel and Germany.

The IAI is a regular supplier to the German Army, having provided it with the Arrow 3 system, and has received an additional contract from the German Air Force.

“IAI’s autonomous systems, in the air, at sea, on land, and in space, are now operational and provide a significant technological advantage, while improving the ability to protect the lives of soldiers in the field,” IAI President and CEO Boaz Levy said at the handover ceremony at the German Navy base in Eckernförde.

“The delivery of the BlueWhale highlights the maturity of the solution, the strength of the cooperation with Atlas, and the high level of trust between the State of Israel and Germany. We share a common mission: to protect the lives of soldiers and civilians in Israel, Germany, and across Europe.”

The German Navy conducted a series of intensive trials in the Baltic Sea to test the BlueWhale under real-world conditions before the handover.

Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on March 3, 2026:

The Full Moon in March 2026 occurs on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 6:38 a.m. EST (11:38 a.m. UTC). It is known as the Worm Moon, a traditional name reflecting the thawing of the ground and the return of earthworms in early spring.

This Full Moon coincides with a total lunar eclipse, turning the Moon a striking coppery red or orange—commonly called a "Blood Moon". The eclipse reaches its peak at 6:33 a.m. EST (11:33 UTC), with totality lasting 58 minutes, from 6:04 a.m. to 7:02 a.m. EST.

Visibility: The eclipse is best seen from eastern Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific region, North and Central America, and parts of western South America.

Not visible in Europe, as the Moon will be below the horizon during the event.

https://search.brave.com/search?q=what+are+the+ides+of+march%3F&summary=1&conversation=08c730034180f8294ecf073b101e6c7c5e6e

The Ides of March refers to March 15 on the ancient Roman calendar, marking the midpoint of the month. In Roman tradition, the Ides were determined by the full moon and served as key markers for religious observances, debt payments, and public ceremonies. Originally, the Ides of March was a day of celebration, tied to the first full moon of the new year, honoring the god Mars and featuring festivals like the Feast of Anna Perenna and rituals such as the Mamuralia.

The date became infamous due to the assassination of Julius Caesar on March 15, 44 BC, when he was stabbed to death by a group of senators, including Marcus Brutus, in the Senate. This event transformed the Ides of March into a symbol of betrayal and political upheaval. The phrase "Beware the Ides of March" was popularized by William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, where a soothsayer warns Caesar of his impending death, making it a lasting cultural warning about hidden dangers and the fragility of power.

DR Congo govt forces launch attacks on multiple fronts against AFC/M23 troops

25/02/2026 - 18:20

DR Congo government forces launched an attack on AFC/M23 rebels in the country's east, using drones to strike a strategic mining site occupied by the Rwanda-backed rebels, security sources told AFP Wednesday.

The fighting on Wednesday was concentrated in particular in areas near the mining town of Rubaya, where AFC/M23 soldiers were hit by a drone strike the previous day, local and security sources told AFP.

The Rubaya mine produces 15 to 30 percent of the world's supply of coltan, key to making electronics such as laptops and mobile phones.

Since its resurgence in 2021, the AFC/M23 has taken vast tracts of the DRC's resource-rich east, capturing the Rubaya mine in North Kivu province in April 2024 with Rwanda's help.

Its advance intensified the more than three-decades-long conflict which has ravaged the eastern DRC, where dozens of rival armed groups and foreign powers have long vied for control of the region's rich veins of valuable minerals.

The AFC/M23 in December launched an offensive on the strategic city of Uvira, a strategic town in South Kivu province near the border with Burundi.

The assault drew condemnation from the United States, which has mediated a fragile peace deal between the DRC and Rwanda.

Angola, another mediator, had proposed a ceasefire to take effect on February 18, though it has done little to halt hostilities.

'People are terrified'

On Wednesday, local militias backed by Congolese soldiers carried out attacks across several points of the front line in North Kivu, particularly in Masisi – where Rubaya is located – according to local and security sources.

These militias captured the village of Kazinga on Wednesday, some 20 kilometres northwest of Rubaya, the same sources said.

According to UN experts, the AFC/M23 has set up an administration parallel to the Congolese state to regulate the operation of the Rubaya mine since its capture.

"In central Rubaya, people are terrified. I went to see the place where the drone struck, but access was denied," a resident told AFP Tuesday, requesting anonymity.

AFP was unable to confirm the death toll from the strike as phone networks in the area have been down since Tuesday and Congolese authorities and civil society groups fled when the AFC/M23 arrived.

Clashes were also reported Wednesday in the South Kivu highlands, where the Congolese army is battling a coalition of militias allied with the AFC/M23.

Outmatched on the ground by the better-equipped AFC/M23 and Rwandan troops, Kinshasa's forces have relied in part on US pressure on Kigali to stabilise the front line, regional specialists and security sources told AFP.

They also said Kinshasa has secured relative control of its skies thanks to long-range Chinese and Turkish drones, and the help of foreign paramilitaries.

Schiff: Between now and November, the President will make every effort to discourage Americans from voting. He will make it harder to register and turn out. He may send ICE agents to polling places to intimidate our citizens. He will cast doubt on the results when his party loses. Our response must be to work harder, organize better, turn out higher than ever before. We must view every obstacle placed in our way as a challenge to be overcome with resilience, with defiance, as a gauntlet throw down that we must pick up. The fight for our democracy is a fight worth having, for it is democracy that makes all progress possible, andit is a struggle we can win if we pick up the tools we have been given and finish the job.

Note from the Ministry of the Interior:

On the morning of February 25, 2026, a violating speedboat was detected within Cuban territorial waters. The vessel, registered in Florida, United States, with registration number FL7726SH, approached up to 1 nautical mile northeast of the El Pino channel, in Cayo Falcones, Corralillo municipality, Villa Clara province.

When a surface unit of the Border Guard Troops of the Ministry of the Interior, carrying five service members, approached the vessel for identification, the crew of the violating speedboat opened fire on the Cuban personnel, resulting in the injury of the commander of the Cuban vessel.

As a consequence of the confrontation, as of the time of this report, four aggressors on the foreign vessel were killed and six were injured. The injured individuals were evacuated and received medical assistance.

In the face of current challenges, Cuba reaffirms its determination to protect its territorial waters, based on the principle that national defense is a fundamental pillar of the Cuban State in safeguarding its sovereignty and ensuring stability in the region.

Investigations by the competent authorities continue in order to fully clarify the events.

Royal Marines test cargo drone in prep for Arctic war

February 25, 2026

The commandos are operating heavy-lift Malloy Aeronautics T150B quadcopters, primarily used for logistical missions, during their winter deployment to northern Norway in support of major NATO mission rehearsals in the region.

The T150B, which was declared ready for front-line operations last year after years of rigorous trials, can lift up to 68kg, fly for up to 40 minutes and has a top speed of 60mph.

The marine drone operators of Delta Squadron, part of Devon-based Commando Logistic Regiment, have successfully carried out a number of milestone sorties, including transporting 81mm mortars, machine guns, ammunition, blood, and a bomb disposal robot across the battlefield.

The three-man team have faced temperatures as low as -28C, pushing their machines to the limit as they carried out flights at the Blåtinden Ranges in the Troms region of Norway.

Malloy flight commander, Colour Sergeant Dan Lyness, said: “As the first team to integrate into ground forces in the UK we have been able to bring our experience from working in the UK to the high north and learn to operate with all the challenges of operating in temperatures below zero.

“This is a completely new capability that we are learning to exploit to enable greater movement on the ground with a reduced risk to life leveraging modern technology to our advantage.

“Heavy lift Uncrewed Aerial Systems have been used extensively in the Russia/Ukraine conflict with many new use cases, so it is critical we master this emerging capability quickly, training in the high north is a key part of that.”

The Royal Navy is developing its drone operations as it looks to keep pace with developments seen on the battlefields of Ukraine.

US abstains from anti-Russia vote at UN

Washington declined to endorse Kiev’s statement calling for an unconditional ceasefire

The US has abstained from a UN General Assembly vote on a Kiev-backed resolution condemning Russia’s actions in the Ukraine conflict.

The resolution on Tuesday, delivered four years after the escalation of the conflict, urged an immediate, full, and unconditional ceasefire.

In the UN General Assembly vote on the document, 107 countries supported it, 12 – including Belarus, Iran, and North Korea – voted against, and 51, including the US, Armenia, Brazil, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Serbia, and Uzbekistan, abstained.

UN General Assembly President and former German ForeignMinister Annalena Baerbock told ARD that the US delegation “deliberately wanted to remove” the requirement of a “lasting and just peace” from the resolution.

“The Americans have always voted for this resolution before,” she said. Now, “for the first time, they haven’t voted for it,” Baerbock noted, claiming the stance was “frustrating.”

Russia’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, Anna Evstigneeva, saidthe document “ignores the complexity of the conflict, interprets the UN Charter in a one-sided manner, and creates obstacles to negotiations.”

She added that, to achieve lasting peace,Kiev should focus on diplomatic efforts, seek compromise solutions, and establish reliable securityguarantees for both Russia and Ukraine. Instead, she said, it prefers to initiate new politicized votes.

UN General Assembly resolutions are advisory in nature and are not legally binding.

Russia says it is seeking a comprehensive peace deal rather than an immediate frontline ceasefire, which it believes Ukraine would merely use to rearm and regroup amid steady battlefield setbacks. Moscow argues the conflict can only be resolved by addressing its “root causes,” and that a sustainable settlement requires Ukraine to withdraw from areas it controls in Donbass – which voted to join Russia in 2022 – commit to demilitarization and “denazification,” abandon its NATO bid, and adopt neutral status.

Russia, the US, and Ukraine held talks in Geneva last week after earlier meetings in Abu Dhabi in January, but territorial disputes — particularly Kiev’s refusal to relinquish its claim to Donbass — reportedly remain the main obstacle to peace.

🚨 BREAKING: 4 DEAD AFTER FLORIDA-REGISTERED SPEEDBOAT REPORTEDLY OPENS FIRE IN CUBAN WATERS 🚨

Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior says four people are dead after a Florida-registered speedboat allegedly entered Cuban territorial waters Wednesday morning and opened fire on Cuban border patrol forces.

According to Cuban authorities, the vessel was located about one nautical mile northeast of the El Pino canal in Cayo Falcones when Border Guard Troops approached the boat for identification.

Officials claim that when officers attempted to make contact, individuals aboard the speedboat began shooting.

Cuba says:

The commander of the Cuban patrol boat was injured

Four people aboard the Florida-registered speedboat were killed

Six others were injured and transported for medical treatment

The identities of those aboard the boat, their origin, and their motive remain unclear. Cuban officials say an investigation is ongoing.

In a statement, the Cuban government said it “ratifies its willingness to protect territorial waters,” calling national defense a “fundamental pillar” of its sovereignty and regional stability.

This is a developing story.

Aliya Rahman (Omar's guest, a Minneapolis activist and U.S. citizen) was removed from the House gallery and arrested by Capitol Police during Trump's Feb 24 SOTU address.

Police say she started demonstrating ~10:07pm, refused repeated orders to sit, and was charged with D.C. unlawful conduct/disruption of Congress.

Omar says it was silent standing (others stood at times) and handling aggravated her prior shoulder injuries from a Jan ICE detention. She was hospitalized briefly then booked. Gallery rules ban protests
