These are personal stories I rarely share but you’ve moved me to do so.
My aunt and uncle were your neighbors. My cousins and I played with you and Beau as kids. My dad, a psychiatrist, worked alongside your father advocating for mental health and insurance reform. Joe Biden has always been Uncle Joe to us. That’s just Delaware.
When Beau passed, my mom went to Dover. Uncle Joe stood by that casket for over 10 hours. When she reached him and said, “You probably don’t remember me—” he hugged her, said her name, and recalled a shared memory. After 10 hours. That is who your father is.
My cousin Craig died at 29 from ulcerative colitis. My Aunt Georgi at 60 from the same disease. Your family knows that grief and has carried it with a grace that still undoes me.
But I also want to say this: your journey has moved me deeply. Your sobriety. Your refusal to let anyone define you by your worst moments. The way you handle trolls with wit, intelligence, and logic — in real time, in public — is showing people what recovery and dignity actually look like. It matters more than you know.
As Director of Content for @DemCastUSA — thank you for taking the time to engage with us. You didn’t have to. You did it anyway.
That’s a Biden move right there. 💙
Go Birds. 🦅

Politics in Canada has certainly turned ugly in the last ten years. I believe this is fuelled by the CPC and foreign interests in our country. Let PM Carney have his term and see how he does. The people will decide whether he’s doing a good job or not. This constant bitching and moaning by the CPC has ruined their party.
Moscow Times reports Sechin complained about the "inexplicable" ruble exchange rate and high credit rates
Igor Sechin, the head of "Rosneft", Russia's largest oil producing company, whose profit in 2025 collapsed almost fourfold, criticized the monetary policy of the Central Bank and high credit rates, which, in his opinion, hinder the oil industry. "The current level of interest rates leads to a significant increase in debt servicing costs, which worsens financial stability.
The inexplicable mechanism of ruble exchange rate formation reduces the incomes of exporters and the Russian budget... Reasonable decisions on these issues will support the economy and quickly yield the results so necessary for our country," said Sechin at the energy session of the SPIEF.
Also, according to the head of "Rosneft", the country's largest company in terms of refining volumes with 13 refineries on its balance, oil workers are suffering from the growth of tariffs for natural monopolies that outpaces official inflation, which exacerbates pro-inflationary risks and hinders the development of the real economy.
These factors, Sechin, who is the secretary of the Commission on the Strategy of the Fuel and Energy Complex Development under the President of the Russian Federation, attributed to "unfavorable macroeconomic conditions", which, in his opinion, are superimposed on "external restrictions".

🇺🇦 The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has officially codified and adopted into service the armored vehicle MAC OWL, produced by the Ukrainian company MAC HUB. It was first publicly presented at the beginning of this year.
🔻 The MAC OWL was developed in cooperation with the South African company Paramount Group and is essentially the Ukrainian-adapted version of the South African Mbombe 4 armored vehicle.
🔻 The vehicle’s protection level meets NATO standard STANAG 4569 Level 4 (capable of withstanding 14.5mm bullets) and weighs 16 tons. Despite its weight, it can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h, thanks to a 450 hp engine. The crew consists of 3 servicemen and it can transport an additional 6 fully equipped soldiers.
🟧 It will be equipped with a remotely controlled combat module armed with either 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns or 40mm automatic grenade launchers (MK-19 or UAG-19).
The adoption of the MAC OWL is a significant achievement for Ukraine’s defense industry. By localizing the production of a modern, well-protected armored vehicle based on proven South African technology and adapting it to local conditions, Ukraine is strengthening its own armored capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign supplies. This vehicle is well-suited for the realities of the current war.

The 1st photo broke my heart 3 years ago. This dog’s just rescued from the water, after Russians blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric power plant on June 6, 2023. I can still hear the excruciating crying as people watched the water coming to their own doors. 80 settlements were
Ukraine develops new bunker-busting munition for drones 🇺🇦💪
Russian soldiers built covered bunkers to survive Ukrainian drones. Ukraine responded by building a munition that goes through the roof first, then detonates. footages of the new weapon appeared online this week.
Welcome to America’s new nuclear family: three marriages, multiple affairs, got wife #3 pregnant while still married to wife #2, and paid $50,000 to settle a sexual assault.
France is sleepwalking into a disaster in the 2027 presidential election.
If the political center stretching from the center-left to the center-right fails to unite before the election, the country could face a devastating second-round choice between Jordan Bardella and Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Recent polling confirms that a catastrophic Bardella versus Mélenchon runoff is a real possibility. Such an outcome would be an absolute disaster for France and Europe. Both figures are fundamentally pro-Russian cowards who consistently side with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine, sacrificing Western security for dangerous political theater.
Their respective domestic platforms are equally terrifying. Both the far-right and the far-left are running on insane, completely unrealistic ideologies that would isolate France, hurt its economy, and cripple the European Union.
This impending disaster can still be avoided if the entire political center, stretching from the center-left to the center-right (at least most of it), rallies behind a single unified candidate. While they can freely compete right now to see who commands the most support, they must consolidate a few months before the first ballot.
Currently, Édouard Philippe stands out as the most viable option to block the extremes, though that dynamic could shift over the coming months. Ultimately, French voters must face an uncomfortable truth before stepping into the voting booth: a vote for either Bardella or Mélenchon is nothing less than a vote for Putin
No wonder so many MAGA hate Hunter. They could never be like him in any way whatsoever: they do not possess the honesty, the intellect, the morality, integrity, empathy, patience, observation, astuteness, or kindness.
It’s so hard, but the thing my dad did for me was that he never let me go. As much as I tired to run I always knew he was waiting. And I know I tortured him. It still makes me cry to think about what I put him through. But I came back. And he was where he always was waiting to love me.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has banned livestock imports from Texas.
This lockdown applies to any animal that is from Texas or has been in Texas within the last 21 days.
This action follows a confirmed case of New World Screwworm in a Texas calf.
It is a flesh-eating parasite.
Canada has now aggressively enforced this boundary to fully protect its agricultural safety.

The Russian publication "Mediazona" created a map of Russian soldiers killed in the war against Ukraine, from which regions by surname, but these are only those who are known.
