The pen is mightier than the sword - A picture is worth a thousand words
Facebook’s losing younger users, but one thing is keeping people hooked: Marketplace. With over a billion users in 70 countries, it’s now one of the biggest resale platforms, bigger than eBay and Craigslist in some places.
Unlike other sites, Facebook doesn’t charge listing fees, making it a top choice for Gen Z, budget shoppers, and secondhand sellers. But how important is Marketplace to Facebook’s future? And is Meta using it to grow its ad business?
"We are coming out of this European Council determined."
These words from President Ursula von der Leyen mark a turning point for Europe. In a time of crisis, leaders have united to take extraordinary measures to strengthen our defense, support Ukraine, and secure our future.
European military experts have presented a plan that could offer Ukraine protection from Russian missile and drone attacks. Called 'Sky Shield,' it involves deploying a European force of 120 fighter jets to protect Kyiv and western Ukraine from Russian air strikes.

John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, said the US was ready to work with Ukraine again after it paused the sharing of military intelligence and suspended military aid.
Speaking to Fox Business, Ratcliffe said that a conciliatory statement released by Zelensky yesterday showed that he was ready to discuss a ceasefire with Putin.
“President Zelensky put out a statement that said: ‘I am ready for peace, and I want President Donald Trump’s leadership to bring about that peace,’” Ratcliffe said. “And so I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away, and I think we’ll work shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, as we have, to push back on the aggression that’s there.”
Zelensky also wrote to Trump ahead of the US president’s address to a joint session of Congress agreeing to “come to the negotiating table” to strike a peace deal.
