👻Ghost In The Machine. Despite being abandoned for nearly a decade, this old power plant control room in France was anything but silent.

A persistent, ominous humming still filled the air. A modern router blinked with green lights, sending data to unknown locations from this dead, decaying site.

Felon Trump’s reason for taking hundreds of thousands of pages of highly classified documents when he left office in January 2021, and then concealing them when the Justice Department subpoenaed him for their return in May 2022 has been one of the larger mysteries of the case. In a January 2023 “progress memo” reviewed by MS NOW, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office discussed the possible motive after the FBI discovered that Trump held on to and concealed many documents related to his businesses. MS NOW Senior Investigative Reporter Carol Leonnig breaks down what her reporting reveals about the biggest traitor in American history.

The Pont du Gard is one of my favourite Roman artefacts anywhere. Built in the first century CE, this elevated aqueduct was constructed without mortar, and is about 275 m long and 50 m high. The total fall across the structure is only 2.5 cm - it truly is an engineering marvel. The protuding stones were used in construction to secure formwork and scaffolding.

In the meantime, #France’s flagship has been strategically redeployed, projecting force in a more imminent theater of war:

*HOW THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND IN UKRAINE ARE INCREASINGLY INTERCONNECTED*

If you look back, every high-speed project, from Japan's original bullet train to #France's TGV, faced NIMBY protesters. (Winemakers claimed railway vibrations would wreck their grands crus!)

It's all part of the process of building ambitious infrastructure.

And STILL felon Trump refuses to allow #Ukraine to destroy Russia's shahed production, despite it now costing American lives.

Trump is willing to sacrifice as many American lives as needed to save Putin.
