[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

In Tallinn today. Ahead of the Ukraine – Nordic-Baltic Summit, I met with the Prime Minister of Finland, @PetteriOrpo.

We discussed the work in Europe to develop anti-ballistic defense capabilities, as well as the preparation of an agreement in the Drone Deal format. The teams are working, and the main thing is that there be more protection in Europe. Special attention was given to our needs in strengthening air defense, security challenges in the region, and diplomatic work to achieve a dignified peace. I informed the Prime Minister about our contacts with Europeans and Americans.

I am grateful to the Government, the people, and all of Finland for supporting Ukraine – above all, for all the military packages and contributions to the PURL initiative. Importantly, Finland is ready to continue helping.

Aittakumpu sai moraalipastorikohtauksen, kun Minja Koskela oli juonut Italiassa ulkomaankielistä juomaa. Suomenkielistä sen olla pitää. Kaljaa, kossua ja kotitekoista pontikkaa. Siinäpä Aittakummun käsitys nykypäivän(kin) suomalaisista😀

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

There are different people around Putin. Half of them want to continue this war and the other half want to stop it. Businessmen understand that the Russian economy is in a terrible situation.

If Western countries – Europe, Canada, and the U.S. – don’t lift their sanctions, put more pressure on the Russian shadow fleet and other sectors, and Ukraine stays strong on the battlefield, then we will be closer to peace.

I told this businessman, who came to deliver the message about a potential framework of diplomatic negotiations, that we were ready to speak from the very beginning. We didn't want this war, and we want to stop it.

Yesterday I told the journalists that in Anchorage, Russia and the U.S. decided to speak about Ukraine without Ukraine. It was a mistake, especially for America, because Putin weakened the U.S. position. I think he was lying to the President of the United States.

Anyway, we are ready to speak, but we won’t give up our territory.

"Biaudet yritti vaikuttaa siihen, ettei RKP olisi lähtenyt mukaan Orpon (kok) hallitukseen, mutta hänen kantansa hävisi."

RKP:n ei olisi ollut mikään pakko lähteä tätä katastrofi hallitusta muodostamaan. Mutta lähtivät ja se muistetaan.

Trump is stacking the government with loyalists.

As acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche already gave Trump and his family a lifetime pass to commit tax crimes.

Imagine what he'll do with the full job.

Where the hell is Congress?

🚨REPUBLICANS HAVE A NEW REASON TO PANIC IN TEXAS

Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz has allegedly accepted money from an insurance agent who was involved in a scheme that diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars from taxpayers. 

One state investigator didn't mince words: Those involved "stole money from the citizens" and disguised it as legitimate fees.

Monica De La Cruz is supposed to represent the people of South Texas, not surround herself with people accused of ripping them off.

Locking content to the region where it was created is the worst thing this platform could do to Ukrainians (which I can't prove is happening, but it certainly feels that way).

We are already fully aware that we are being bombed, we see russian atrocities every single day. We need to get the word out, not in, and we need to get help in from the world's democracies.

​Please help Ukrainians you follow fight the algorithm by interacting with our content, especially when we post about Russian war crimes.
​Pic for attention.

📉 A sharp turn on the battlefield. Russia is starting to lose ground

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukraine liberated more territory in May than Russia managed to capture.

Russian forces occupied or pushed into roughly 40 square kilometers, but lost control of nearly 280 square kilometers.

Moreover, some of Russia’s reported “advances” were merely temporary infiltrations by small assault groups that failed to hold the territory they entered.

The cost of every kilometer is also soaring. While last autumn Russia was losing about 67 soldiers per square kilometer gained, by May that figure had climbed to nearly 200.

Meanwhile, Putin continues to claim that Russian forces are advancing every day.

He just doesn’t specify in which direction.

Russian Z-propagandist Oleg Pakholkov calls for a complete economic blockade of Armenia.

That's the core of Russia's geopolitics - threats and blackmail.

Pakholkov urged Russia to stop all financial support, close the border, and halt 100% of Armenian imports. He claimed Russia can produce everything itself.

He compared the situation to Moldova, where Russia used trade embargoes as pressure, and said Armenia would "come crawling back" once its funding is cut off.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Trump issues desperate outburst demanding Republicans fire the senate parliamentarian just so he can get money for his stupid ballroom!

In a deranged Truth Social rant, Donald Trump is demanding that Senate Majority Leader John Thune immediately fire Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough– the nonpartisan official who interprets the rules – simply because she keeps blocking his pet projects from sneaking through via budget reconciliation.

Trump raged that MacDonough is a “Radical Left Lunatic” who “treats Republicans horribly” and is a “nasty holdover” from the Obama and McConnell eras. He even invoked Harry Reid, who left the Senate nearly a decade ago.

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the Parliamentarian, who treats Republicans, and everything that they stand for, horribly!” Trump raged. “She was put there by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama, need I say more? She is a nasty holdover from Mitch McConnell.

“She is known as a Radical Left Lunatic that caters to Democrats, and has no respect for Republicans, or Republican Ideology… We have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump never mentions her by name, which we suspect was because he didn’t even want to attempt to spell “MacDonough.” Too many vowels, lol.

He’s furious that MacDonough recently ruled against him on multiple items from his wish list, especially funding for his risible White House ballroom-and-bunker project.

In his usual style, Trump is attacking someone who cares about enforcing basic rules of American governance. Those darn checks and balances that prevent him from ramming through whatever he wants with a simple 51-vote majority.

Trump doesn’t care that the Senate Parliamentarian is supposed to be nonpartisan, or even believe it's possible for someone to not be so ideologically aligned with one position or another that the outcome is all that matters, rules and procedures be damned.

He’s trying to drain the swamp, alright, to Trump that means getting rid of any of the institutional guardrails that prevent immediate implementation of his radical, divisive, and destructive agenda.

Kudos to Ms. MacDonough. She is a footsoldier in the fight against Trump becoming an authoritarian dictator, his life’s final ambition, by rigging the Senate rules.

While trump is focused on enriching himself, building billion dollar ballrooms for himself, and spoiling sporting events for New Yorkers, Leader Jeffries and Democrats are focused on making life affordable for Americans.
