The Director of National Intelligence has access to all our most sensitive intelligence.

Yet with everything the U.S. is facing around the world, the President has handed that responsibility to Bill Pulte, a housing regulator with no intelligence experience. Totally unqualified and our Republican colleagues know it.

Keep posting this so nobody forgets that this was one of the worst events in American history.

Never has a sitting president encouraged his supporters to believe a lie so deeply that they’d be willing to attack or democracy.

Newlyweds plan "dream honeymoon" to meet Trump in Florida—ICE detains husband instead.

Wife still 100% supports Trump:
"I am still his biggest fan."

Toy BB gun was found in their car—then husband was accused of being in Venezuelan gang because of tattoos.

Locked up 3 months in ICE detention—with almost no contact with his wife and 6-month-old child.

They had thought the perfect honeymoon would be staying at the Trump National Doral hotel—and meet Trump who was scheduled to speak in person.

Bryan José Rojas Galofre came from Venezuela seeking asylum—and had already begun the process of obtaining legal status through marriage.

He was given a permit to work in U.S. until application was resolved—and was recently promoted to line supervisor at a brake disc factory.

The family now lives in fear that he could be deported at any time from their home in Plover, Wisconsin.

❗ 🇷🇺 Oleg Deripaska - Putin’s favourite oligarch under #EUSanctions - still secretly controls #Rusal & Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina plant. In 2019 he formally cut his stake to 44% to escape sanctions. Then Putin issued a decree allowing 🇷🇺 companies to cancel voting rights of shareholders from “hostile” (Western) countries. This instantly restored Deripaska’s effective control to 53.7%, acc. to @IrishTimes. The Limerick factory continues shipping over half its alumina to Russia. Ireland tolerates it for the 600 jobs. Notably, it wasn’t 🇮🇪 authorities who exposed this - it was Swedish tax investigators who uncovered the loophole. One Russian decree quietly neuters years of #WesternSanctions. #MakeRussiaPay

Gen. Wesley Clark: Putin is trapped. He sees no way out that preserves his survival as Russia’s leader, so he keeps pushing and hopes Trump’s friendship, Chinese help, Iranian help and U.S. distraction will cut support to Ukraine until Ukraine somehow collapses. 1/

Over 6,300 children, even infants, have been detained by ICE under Trump. 97% have no criminal record.

Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx went to inspect the ‘for profit’ ICE detention center in Dilly Texas. “There's a brutality behind those walls." 🧵 #DemsAbroad

🚨 🔥 BREAKING: The Butler Story Just Got Stranger.

Newly released FBI records reportedly show a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged emails with Thomas Crooks before the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump.

The problem?

The records are heavily redacted.

That’s why this disclosure raises more questions than it answers.

What was discussed?

Why were they communicating?

And why is so much of it still being withheld?

The more information that comes out about Butler, the less settled the story seems to become.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Commentators on mainstream Kremlin propaganda channels are no longer holding back when describing their catastrophe at the front.

This one complains that Ukraine has 10 drones for each Russian soldier.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

FREDERIKSEN: One of the things where I have disagreed with some of my colleagues is all the red lines that have been put on Ukraine, because I don't think you can win a war with red lines.

You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that because some allies said, "Well, we cannot put our fighter jets in Ukraine."

Then we had questions about long-range weapons. That was also red line. There have been so many red lines. It's almost like we have asked you to defend Europe with one arm behind your back.

That has not been fair. And one of the ways to get around some of these red lines is producing directly in Ukraine, because now you can produce some of the weapons that some allies have been refusing to give you.

"He forced me to have sex with him, basically. I really had no choice."

Marina Lacerda was 14. The federal indictment calls her Minor-Victim 1.

She spoke on camera for the first time in September. The files had her name for years.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

"So if any man's name was redacted, that should not have been. We will, of course, unredact it."

Attorney General Pam Bondi said this at a House Judiciary Committee hearing in February 2026.

She is the Attorney General overseeing those files.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

Rep. Ro Khanna, on the redacted Epstein names: "If we found six men they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many they are covering up for in those three million files."
It took two congressmen going to the DOJ to unredact six identities. In February.

Trump & Don Jr. looted national security—forced the Pentagon to hand $620M to Jr.’s firm.

Jr. got a 10x return in MONTHS. Where's the investigation? This is TREASON and CORRUPTION.

War Machine is now a family ATM.
Every dollar = treason.
Taxpayers funded their heist.

Russia’s "Alabuga Polytech" promises students up to 500,000 rubles a month for drone assembly.

Elvira Fomina, head of the "Alabuga Polytech college", currently under EU sanctions, claimed that a 20-year-old college student could earn up to 500,000 rubles per month.

The college is located within the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Tatarstan. According to media reports, hundreds of students are involved in manufacturing Russian variants of the Iranian Shahed drone. Over the past year, the college's territory has expanded by 340 hectares.

Media outlets report that in 2022, students were paid 30,000 rubles. By early 2025, advertising briefs sent to bloggers promised 70,000 rubles, and just a few months ago, the maximum salary ceiling was capped at 350,000 rubles.

"This is not the first time that Thom Tillis has talked a big talk and gotten lots of admiring headlines...and then, of course, he disappointed."

@crampell and @samstein on Tillis caving on Trump’s $1.776B slush fund, and why no one should pretend the issue is dead.
