The Kremlin and the White House are doing everything possible to reelect Viktor Orbán to a sixth term as prime minister. This is sinister stuff -- and a sign of the new alignment. Americans ought to retch in disgust. https://t.co/K4KntXgMfz

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

In all the coverage of Trump’s tirades about Europeans it should be noted that they are dealing with a much longer, harder, bigger and more consequential war in their own backyard, in Ukraine – a war that they didn’t choose, and one that Trump’s war on Iran has made worse by enriching Russia.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Only an hour after we learn that Russians tried to stage a fake assassination attempt for Victor Orban to help him in the coming election, Trump releases a video promoting him.

Pete Hegseth: The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people.

@EricLDaugh Gee, maybe he should talk to someone who actually knows what he's talking about.

@sarobertsonca Well, there you have it: standing up for Canadian culture. After all, it was invented in Chatham Ont

Never better display of Zelensky's courage than today. Never clearer that Trump/Vance are on the side of the Kremlin. Never more obvious that the democratic world must unite in defence of Ukraine, and in defiance of the United States.

As a former professional hockey player @NHL and multiple representative at the Olympic Games @iocmedia and as a citizen of the Czech Republic, which is part of the EU, I would like to say this on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of the start of the Russian imperialist war against the free democratic country of Ukraine. I would like to thank President Zelensky and, above all, all the Ukrainian people who defend (and daily put their lives on the line and lose their lives) both their country and the whole of Europe from the Russian imperialist enemy led by the greatest criminal of our time, Putin. Thanks to you, my country and my fellow citizens can now live in peace on our territory. You deserve the greatest recognition and maximum support from us, which cannot be expressed by money alone.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

leaving its most lethal enemies wide open in scoring position feels like a great metaphor for the united states right now

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau.

I am grateful for his kind words about Ukraine’s team at the Invictus Games and for supporting our resilient warriors. This means a lot to us. We will never forget what the people of Canada have done for Ukraine and our shared future.

Justin informed me about his recent online meeting with European leaders. A united position is the key to ensuring a lasting peace.

We discussed many important issues, including continued military support, energy cooperation, sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and energy sector, and the use of frozen Russian assets.

We greatly value Canada’s G7 presidency this year and count on its leadership.

[Don Lajoie @Bomutt1]

@strategywoman This is very sad. Especially given Trump's shameful American betrayal of Ukraine. Canada, however, still supports you. Haven't seen you in a year.

The song in the video says:
The Ukrainian sun has risen,
Let it shine brightly.
The price is paid high.
We will never forgive.

I ran across this old George Carlin bit, and I had to take a few minutes to throw this together. It fits so well.

Hey @elonmusk we’ve all watched this movie, we all know what this scene represents & we all understand the meaning behind this comment.
