⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺 Politico reports that U.S. senators are considering a comprehensive bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia and its largest energy customers, notably China and India.
The proposed legislation, known as the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, includes a 500% tariff on imports from nations purchasing Russian oil, natural gas, or uranium. With backing from 81 senators across party lines, the bill aims to intensify pressure on Russia's wartime economy.
Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal are leading the initiative, citing recent Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russia as evidence of Ukraine’s strategic capability and determination. The bill's progression, however, hinges on President Donald Trump's support, whose stance remains uncertain.

The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
