Trump team characterizes the 3 Trump White House women as "ungrateful grifters" going "full Judas" This is our world in 2024. The most consequential US election of our lifetime is only 11 months away. Canadians have to know that US consequences are without borders #democracy
@CTVCalgary labour shortages with baggage handlers causing frustration @FlyYYC / Calgary international airport. Economies can’t handle sudden surges in demand with ailing labour force. #supplySideInflation

A sighting of Sergei Shoigu at Putin’s security council.
The PR-mad Russian defense minister hadn’t even been mentioned in state media for nearly 2 weeks.
Peskov says Shoigu “has a lot on, there’s a special military operation and it’s not really the time for media activity.”
Putin says Russia's major businesses – most of whom have hitherto stayed out for fear of sanctions – can safely work in Crimea with state support.
That's an unsubtle hint – and a pretty quick route to getting almost the entire Russian economy sanctioned, isolated from the world.
@faridaily_ After going dark for nearly 24 hours, Marina Ovsyannikova has surfaced in court, where she's facing a misdemeanor charge for her protest on Channel One.
Crucially, it's not under the new "fake news" law – so the most she can get is 10 days in jail.

Hard to hide from satellite imagery: #Ukraine cities before and after Russian attacks. And the country beginning to look like North Korea at night given electricity infrastructure destroyed and light discipline/curfews at night. #Putin's billions will have to fund reparations.
The Kremlin has announced its demands for ending the war in Ukraine:
-Ukraine must change its constitution to guarantee it won't join any "blocs", i.e. NATO + EU.
-Must recognise Crimea as part of Russia.
-Must recognise the eastern separatist regions as independent.
@jaylyall_red5 @emilyjodell Starting to think mass column in north aimed at Kyiv is designed to tie down large chunks of UA and incoming assets while securing land bridge from Crimea to Donbas (& making Ukraine landlocked) was main point all along. Why not cross the border of Belarus further to the west?
ATW hackers linked with Anonymous, have successfully breached and leaked the database of Gazprom, a Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation.
The leaked data includes information related to the company's source code, and WellPro projects.
