JFK gave best speech of his life, this week 1963, at American University:
“If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. . . .We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
“Right now, this is as close as you’re going to get to the White House if you’re a member of the public”: @mviser reports from outside the White House, where fortifications are growing in tandem with the threat of political violence. https://t.co/Kc4TKyllHF
Пілот F - 16 підполковник Максим Устименко при виконанні бойового завдання збив 7 ворожих шахедів. Під час збиття останнього отримав ушкодження. Відвів літак від житлових будинків, але катапальтуватися вже не було часу. 29 червня 2025 року загинув. Вічна пам'ять Герою.Вічна шана.
🇬🇧🇺🇦 Thousands of anti-drone Martlet missiles for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already on their way from Britain.
Ukraine will receive 6,000 British light multi-purpose Martlet missiles to combat Russian drones.
This weapon is universal, launched from various platforms. The missiles are installed on Wildcat helicopters, Stormer armored vehicles, or portable systems.
Ukraine mainly uses mobile ground installations.

Jamie Raskin responds to Trump calling for his expulsion: We don’t quite know exactly what triggered him, but it was a rough week for the president in the Judiciary Committee. Maybe he’s got Raskin Derangement Syndrome or something.
Bottom line: We’re doing our job. We’re on the front lines of this struggle against corruption and authoritarianism, and we’re not going to be deterred.
This is not middle school, where he thinks he can expel someone for questioning his authority.
In Kyiv, a new opera is tackling one of the most traumatising aspects of Russia’s invasion: the abduction of Ukrainian children. In the new work called “Mothers of Kherson”, music tries to give voice to that unspeakable pain, here’s my report:
Horrifying story of how Jeffrey Epstein obtained "work-release" from his Florida jail to go to his office each day and sexually exploited women there, while he was nominally incarcerated. Another reminder that we don't take sex trafficking seriously. https://t.co/1s14DI7FMB
NEW: ICE agents were given access to voter files in Texas and North Carolina, according to Axios.
On June 9, DHS told ICE to pursue stricter penalties for noncitizens found voting, despite the fact few cases of such voter fraud have ever been discovered.

🚨The Trump and Kash Patel-led FBI has just raided a voter registration group in Cleveland.
This is straight up voter intimidation designed to suppress our vote.
I’ve demanded answers from the FBI, because this is unacceptable. Here’s what you need to know.
I've served under seven presidents — from Reagan to President Biden — so I know that service is about more than self, it's about patriotism. We need a true patriot representing Colorado's 4th district. Help me defeat Lauren Boebert this fall. Chip in $25 today.
The Supreme Court is allowing Republican politicians to wipe out Black political representation and power.
We need to make it impossible for politicians or the courts to manipulate these maps once and for all.
Here's what you need to know about DOJ's approval of the Paramount deal:
David Ellison gets what he wants -- control over a vast entertainment empire.
Donald Trump gets what he wants -- a neutered CBS and CNN.
Fight back by supporting independent media. https://t.co/bZLgVCQ4Xq

HODGES: I don't think Russia is bottomless pit of manpower. Many of the youngest ones are either dead or have fled the country.
Year ago, I heard Putin complaining there weren't enough people to work in the factories. Well, no shit, because they're all dead, gone, or deployed.
The vast majority of Russian troops come from well outside St. Petersburg and Moscow. They come from poorer regions of Russian Federation, where people are happy to take signing bonuses to join the army.
Kremlin seems to have studiously avoided any mobilization that would require pulling people from Moscow and St. Petersburg, because it would then be impossible to hide the scale of the disaster.
Crimea is about to become an island, says Ukrainian Defense Ministry adviser Sternenko, calling this Russia's toughest summer yet. He's urging residents of occupied Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Donetsk regions to evacuate as Russian logistics fall apart.
This is how Ukraine can make the Russians feel their war.
It is so good that the US is out of the war so that it can no longer hinder the Ukrainians from doing the right thing.
EU money & Ukrainian arms plus US absence make it possible for Ukraine to win the war.
🇦🇱 After protests in southern Albania, angry protesters in Rrjoll, northern Albania, removed fences from a site where a luxurious resort is being built.
The protesters say land belonging to 200 families has been confiscated.
Environmental and anti-corruption protests are taking place across Albania.
BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…
