Let me make this absolutely clear. Last night bombers took off, drones were launched and missiles were fired from Russia.

Ukrainian air defences knew they were coming, but had no idea what their targets were, because the President of the United States prohibited vital intelligence to be shared with battlefield commanders.

Last night Donald Trump actively assisted an indicted war criminal to murder Ukrainian civilians. America’s president is now a MURDERER as well as a convicted felon. I’m sure Putin will present him with a medal when he visits Moscow.

Q:Why is it important to learn about the past?
A: Critical thinking and avoiding mistakes.

Nigel Farage is supported by the poorly educated and ignorant.

On this day, 30 years ago, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum. According to the Memorandum, Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal (third largest in the world) in exchange for security assurances from the US, the UK, and russia.

Hungary fought the Second World War alongside Nazi Germany and participated in the Nazi genocide of Jews and Eastern Europeans.

Aligning with evil powers to satisfy short-sighted interests and getting wrecked as a result is a Hungarian tradition.

Are you wondering why Gen Z is voting against Donald Trump?

Here is one of the many answers.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Attorney General Merrick Garland brilliantly destroys the “extremely dangerous” MAGA lies about the Donald Trump conviction during a House Judiciary Committee.

Republicans were not ready for this…

"Certain members of this Committee and the Oversight Committee are seeking contempt as a means of obtaining — for no legitimate purpose — sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations," Garland stated during his opening statements.

“This effort is only the most recent in a long line of attacks on the Justice Department's work,” he added.

The hearing was designed by Republicans to smear Garland and the Justice Department.

MAGA Congressman Matt Gaetz attempted to push a false narrative that President Biden was behind New York states’s prosecution of Trump. Garland would have none of it.

"The case in New York is brought by the Manhattan district attorney independently on his own volition, as [his] own determination of what was, what he believed was a violation of state law," Garland explained to Gaetz.

The attorney general also slammed the "baseless and extremely dangerous falsehoods” that are “being spread about the FBI's law enforcement operations.”

Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler asked Garland to describe the effect on the Justice Department when Trump and Republicans falsely and absurdly claim that Biden tried to assassinate Trump by authorizing the FBI to use deadly force during their Mar-a-Lago raid.

"This is dangerous. It raises the threats of violence against prosecutors and career agents," said Garland. "The allegation is false, as the FBI has explained, the document that's being discussed is our standard use of force protocol, which is a limitation on the use of force, and which is routinely part of the package for search warrants, and was part of the package for the search of President Biden's home as well."

During the hearing Garland also spoke more broadly about the constant attacks on the Justice Department.

"Attacks on the rule of law tear down those confidences in the basic, fundamental element of our democracy that all people will be treated equal," Garland said.

“And I intend to continue to protect the rule of law, to protect the … career employees of my department to make sure they can continue to go about their job, which is to do the right thing every day and not to be distracted by outside influences, political, or otherwise," he added.

Taken in totality, Garland’s performance at the hearing was a masterclass in professionalism and honesty. The MAGA hacks in Congress never stood a chance.

Hunter Biden, the son of a sitting president of the United States is going on trial Monday for gun possession charges brought by a Trump-appointed prosecutor.

Bob Menendez, a powerful Democratic senator (who was the chair of the Foreign Relations Committee) is currently on trial for corruption after being indicted by Biden's DOJ.

Biden's DOJ recently indicted Dem Congressman Henry Cuellar for taking nearly $600,000 in bribes.

Dem Congresswoman Cori Bush is currently under investigation by Biden’s DOJ for mishandling campaign funds

There’s no “witch hunt,” “political persecution”, or “two-tiered system of justice.” The orange guy is just a crook, and you know it. No one is above the law!

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets terrible news as the NAACP teams up with ride share company Lyft to drive voters to the polls on Election Day — boosting turnout that terrifies MAGA.

And it gets even better…

The 2024 Lyft Up Voting Access Program will also provide crucial voting access information as well as discounted rides to the polls.

On top of that, it will help both riders and drivers to register, prepare to vote, and understand the ins and outs of voter ID laws.

Republicans are constantly trying to depress voter turnout because they know that when more Americans vote, Democrats win.

“During a time where our most sacred right to vote is under attack, we must fight back with every tool at our disposal,” said Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and CEO.

“For many Americans, especially Black Americans, accessible and affordable transportation continues to impede access to the ballot box,” Johnson said.

“The NAACP is proud to continue working with our partners at Lyft to create pathways to the polls through free and low-cost rideshare services,” he added. “Together, we will make sure every vote is counted and every voice is heard.”

The Lyft Up Voting Access Program is aiming to increase its ride volume by 25% through its discounted and free rides to polling places.

“Every American citizen should be able to exercise their right to vote without worrying about the cost or difficulty of getting to the polls,” said Lyft CEO David Risher. “Everyone — from a driver who’s given a thousand rides to a rider who hasn’t taken her first one yet — deserves to have their voice heard at the polls. Our Voting Access Program is a great way Lyft can be a force for good.”

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Russian terror is only possible because we have fewer weapons and decisions to protect life than Russia has means to destroy it.

Everyone knows how effective Patriot, IRIS-T, NASAMS, Hawk, and other modern air defense systems are. We need them here in Ukraine: in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Donbas, and other cities suffering Russian attacks.

Every leader, every state, every ambassador who helps us with air defense now is not only a defender of life, but also one who reduces Russia’s temptation to wage war. The less the Kremlin achieves through terror, the more it will be interested in seeking peace. We must force Russia into this together.

BREAKING: Legendary shock jock Howard Stern showers Joe Biden with praise and tells him that "we're lucky to have" him as president — and BRUTALLY tears into Donald Trump.

Stern has known Trump for years, so MAGA is furious...

"What are we debating!? A man picked up the phone and wanted to say 'fake the election, give me eleven thousand votes," said Stern during an interview with Biden.

"I don't know how any American who loves this country... That's the end of the debate! You don't get to run if you're going to fix an election," he added.

"Look, I think I said on January 6th when they were storming the Capitol and he would say nothing," said Biden. "He was sitting in that dining area off the Oval Office for three hours and said nothing."

"It was derelict. It was almost criminal," he went on. "He did nothing. He just sat there and watched what was happening. Now he calls them 'patriots' and 'victims' and says he's going to pardon them all if he's reelected."

Elsewhere in the interview, Biden really laid into Trump, slamming him for promising a "bloodbath" if he loses in November.

"We have a fundamentally different value set," explained Biden. "For example, when he was in Paris, he wouldn't go to that gravesite and said they're ‘losers.’ These men and women who were killed in battle, defending America. I'm glad I wasn't there because I think I would have... My son's in one of those graves, in one of the graves back here, not there. The idea that they're losers and suckers?"

"I can't fathom a President of the United States saying that the folks who died defending this country were ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,'" Biden added.

Towards the end of the interview, Stern thanked Biden for all that he's done and listed some of his key accomplishments.

"I want to thank you for doing this today. I want to thank you for your compassion," said Stern. "The reason I'm so excited to talk to you was because I wanted to understand the tragedy in your life and how you dealt with it."

"And you're the kind of leader I love," he went on. "We're lucky to have you in the Oval Office and serving as the father of the country because if you're a good father to your family, which you are, I know you'll be a good father to the country."

"And I want to thank you for providing a calming influence, an organized administration post-COVID, getting that vaccine out," Stern continued. "I remember what the world was like at that point, getting NATO, getting us to feel comfortable, standing up to Putin. I could read you greatest hits but I'm being give the 'hi sign' but the incredible, large growth in the jobs, unemployment rate down."

"I don't know what people are looking for in a president or maybe it's that people don't feel like they're getting enough," he said. "I don't know what it is but I'll give you your greatest hits..."

"The lowest uninsured rate in history, four out of five Americans are covered for less than ten dollars a month," Stern said. "Knocking off a few ISIS leaders. Cutting the emissions in half. I mean you've always been an environmentalist. Even the marijuana reform laws. Enough with the sitting there and fighting that battle! Respect for Marriage Act. What the hell is wrong with people with this gay stuff? Who cares if someone's gay. How is it affecting anybody. People in love, it's good right?"

Stern's genuine admiration for Biden couldn't be clearer.

Biden's administration has been a historic success and the responsibility now falls to us to ensure that he gets a second term. Democracy depends upon it.

He said John McCain was a loser. I can't fathom a President of the United States saying folks who died defending this country are ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’
