For politicians, going on with Joe Rogan has a lot of reward...
1. He's a young GOP whisperer. He's far more popular with GOP under 45 than even Trump is!
2. He's popular with voters who didn't cast a ballot in 2024.
3. Rogan has a positive net favorable with all voters.
"Ukraine is struggling to ship grain via the Black Sea as Moscow steps up strikes on commercial vessels in retaliation for a week of heavy attacks by Ukraine on Russian shipping.
Russian drone attacks on the port of Odesa, Ukraine’s biggest seaport, have caused storage capacity to drop by a third, according to maritime security company Ambrey, while shipowners are refusing to send ships into the area for fear of being struck. Some traders have paused buying in Odesa, according to analysts...
As a result, she said, domestic purchase prices at Ukrainian ports have “vanished”, and shipowners are no longer providing freight quotes...
Some ships have paused outside Ukrainian waters to reassess the risk of Russian drone and missile attacks, while insurance premiums have soared, according to Pavel Sosnovsky, analyst at Ukraine-based International Seaborne Market (ISM). “Several underwriters have suspended war risk cover for voyages to Ukrainian ports altogether.”

Ossoff: "Tonight I heard a failed president desperately casting out for excuses to meddle in the upcoming election if he can, or to discredit the result when he loses decisively as I expect he will"
Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Olga Skabeeva complained about multiplying drones and wondered whether NATO will ever fall apart. State Duma member Adalby Shkhagoshev said the experts were wrong in predicting that Russia would quickly defeat Ukraine.

Zelensky said Mykhailo Fedorov will remain on his team, with his future role to be announced later. Responding to protests, the president said people were right to demonstrate and added that the government has no secrets from society, only from Russia.
Zelensky also said Ihor Klymenko is being considered for defense minister, though no nomination has yet been submitted to parliament. He said the next minister must address mobilization and the work of recruitment centers, including finding a more respectful approach. Zelensky added that abusive forced-mobilization practices must be eliminated and said this could be one of Klymenko’s strengths. #Ukraine
Pete Hegseth is empowering and encouraging these reckless training flights that are freaking Americans out and could cause catastrophic accidents with people losing their lives. This is criminal.
This is the most important commentary regarding Trump's speech tonight
Listen and listen well. In fact listen to it a few times
Congressman Himes has absolutely put his finger on what Trump's objective is
This is an edit that includes every time Trump mentioned China in his speech about alleged election interference. He claimed China acquired 220 million voter files. According to the U.S. Census only 174 million Americans were registered to vote in 2024.
🇺🇸Reporter: "Where are we now in the Iran war?"

American Journalists are cooking Trump 🔥
NEW: Rep. Thomas Massie turned Trump’s election-fraud narrative back on him with one brutal question:
“We control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the White House; yet we’re still screaming about election fraud? We swept every election.”

WATCH: Here’s Donald Trump calling to shut down and remove ABC and NBC from the air because they aren't broadcasting his lie-filled boring speech!
He’s completely having a meltdown and sounding horrible.
I visited the small town of Marfa, TX.
A local mariachi band greeted us with a song they wrote for our campaign!
