Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
He wants you to forget, but this is what Trump said to the Iranian people when he started his war:
“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take."
The ban on social media for children under 16 is an idea that has merits. But the way it is being done is simply a way to force everyone, including adults, to identify themselves online, creating the most powerful surveillance and censorship architecture in human history.
While these events are obviously inappropriate, I don't think kids are actually *harmed* by cross-dressing men reading books. Kids understand Halloween & the general idea of childish dress-up games. In the videos, kids often look bored/confused, while their giddy instagram moms are manically supportive. My objection to this stuff isn't that it's harmful—it’s not—but that it’s a cringey virtue-signalling exercise conducted for the benefit of educators & parents who want the world to know that they believe womanhood is a gaudy costume
Western leaders are asking the wrong question about Russia. It is not how to negotiate with the Kremlin or deter a future attack, but how to ensure Moscow is defeated in its war against Ukraine so that aggression no longer appears to be a viable strategy.
A just and lasting peace in Europe will not be built on fear of Russia's defeat, but on the understanding that aggression must end in defeat. We should not fear Russia's defeat. We should fear a world in which Russia comes to believe that it cannot lose.

Trump is attempting to undo the republic to retain personal power. No one in DOJ or FBI should be assisting him in this essentially criminal and anti-American undertaking.

I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with @MarkJCarney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made.
We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery.
I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.
Ukraine responds to Russia trying to destroy one of its most important cultural and spiritual landmarks by attacking a vital, strategic oil facility in one of the most defended areas of Russia.
The war in a nutshell--and another example of why Ukraine must win.
This time, the Moscow region felt the reach of Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. An oil refinery was hit at a distance of 500 kilometers. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Missile Forces for their effective work.
Russia must be forced to end its war against our people. And Ukraine’s long-range weapons are one of the important components of such pressure.
This is a just response to Russian strikes – and to the dragging out of a war that must be ended.
Glory to Ukraine!
