Moscow City Court toughened the sentence for Yury Kokhovets, who gave a street interview to RFE/RL and talked about the war un Ukraine. Instead of 5 years of penal labor, Kokhovets will now have to serve 5.5 years of actual prison time. He was taken into custody in the court room.

In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll discuss the Kremlin’s funding of Tennessee-based media company TENET Media. TENET Media is best-known for their promotion of Russian narratives and for strong support for Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 US elections.

My sister @by_kalesnikava , imprisoned in #Homel Penal Colony #4, is being tortured by starvation. At 45 kg and 175 cm tall, she is denied necessary medical care and proper nutrition. This is not punishment, this is cruelty. #SOSMaria#FreeKalesnikava
Elon Musk is very influential.
He hosted Ron DeSantis on X and it was a disaster.
He hosted Vivek Ramaswamy on X and it was a disaster.
He hosted trump on X and it wash a dishaster.
When my wife and I decided to have children, we spent years going through fertility treatments.
I remember praying each night for a call with good news, or the agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked.
When we welcomed our daughter into the world, we named her Hope.

I spoke with Yulia Navalnaya, widow of Alexey Navalny, following the release, as a result of our prisoner exchange, of 16 individuals detained in Russia. Some of them worked with Navalny to combat corruption and build a free, democratic Russia.
I thanked Yulia for her courage in continuing her husband’s work and reaffirmed my commitment to stand with those fighting for freedom in Russia and around the world.
After enduring unimaginable suffering and uncertainty, the Americans detained in Russia are safe, free, and have begun their journeys back into the arms of their families.
2 former regional heads of Navalny’s campaign offices, Ksenia Fadeeva from Tomsk, Siberia, and Lilia Chanysheva from Ufa, Bashkortostan, disappeared from their penal colonies. Fadeeva is serving 9 years for “extremism” charges, Chanysheva’s sentence was just increased to 9.5 yrs
Trump agreed on a September 10th debate.
It now appears he's backpedaling.
Voters deserve to see the split screen that exists on a debate stage.
I'm ready. So let's go.
Donald Trump wants to take our country backwards to a time before many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights, but we believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans.
We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but get ahead.
We believe in a future where no child has to grow up in poverty, where every person can buy a home, start a family, and build wealth—and where every person has access to paid family leave and affordable child care.
We will build a nation where everyone has affordable health care, and every senior can retire with dignity.
Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.
Today Evan Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years. We must fight for every person serving an unjust sentence in Putin's prison and demand their immediate release
Reporter: “As you’re saying you’re concerned about Joe Biden’s age and abilities, Trump is only 3.5 years younger. Do you have any concerns about Trump’s age?”
Trump supporter: “John F. Kennedy, he’s still alive. JFK he’s over 100 years old…”🤡
Ракетный удар по детской больнице - это ужасное преступление, которое невозможно даже представить. А это все происходит прямо сейчас, на наших глазах. Путин и его режим- настоящие людоеды
Twin horrors: 1) Russia bombing a major children's hospital as part of its daily terror and murder campaign against Ukraine. 2) The free world having the power to stop it and refusing to.
Today, Russia struck Ukrainian cities, resulting in over 170 injuries. As of now, 37 fatalities have been reported, including three children. My condolences go out to their families and loved ones.
In total, nearly 100 facilities were damaged, including a children's hospital, ordinary houses, kindergartens, a maternity hospital, a college, and a business center. The rubble is still being cleared at these sites.
Russian terrorists must be held accountable for this. Mere concern does not stop terror. Condolences are not a weapon. We need to shoot down Russian missiles. Russian combat aircraft must be destroyed where they are based. Strong steps must be taken to eliminate any security deficit.
The world has the necessary strength to do this. Our partners are capable of making it happen. Decisions are needed as soon as possible.
На учительницу завели уголовное дело о «фейках» после того, как она показала ученикам кадры российского вторжения в Украину.
В путинской России за правду сажают, а за враньё награждают.
