During the Ukrainian delegation’s visit to Tokyo, representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency arrived for the talks wearing traditional Ukrainian vyshyvankas.

Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

🚨 TRUMP’S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE JUST DROPPED…AND IT’S WORSE THAN YOU THOUGHT.

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released Donald Trump’s 927-page financial disclosure today. Here’s what a sitting U.S. President made in 2025:

💰 $635 MILLION from the TRUMP memecoin, while retail investors watched it crash from $74 to $1.68

💰 $594 MILLION from World Liberty Financial token and stablecoin sales, a crypto venture co-founded with his own sons

💰 $65 MILLION from selling equity in that same company

💰 $80+ MILLION in media settlements from ABC, CBS, Meta, and YouTube, paid to his own presidential library

Total crypto haul: over $1.4 BILLION. In one year. While serving as President of the United States.

His net worth has nearly TRIPLED, from $2.4 billion to $6.3 billion, since taking office.

And while Trump pocketed $1.4 billion from crypto, the everyday Americans who bought his memecoin? They lost. 764,000 wallets ended up in the red.

This is the most corrupt presidency in American history. Period.

Children are among over 56 victims in Kyiv this morning, after a massive Russian missile attack targeted the city's civilian population.

Russians targeted apartment buildings and shopping areas in effort to once again terrorize the city.

I don't find the lobster and steak comment as offensive as the dismissive comment about people who are struggling with affordability not working as hard as he does. Congress is so out of touch with reality.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

BREAKING: In a huge win for voters, a federal court granted the NAACP's request to halt the USPS implementation of Trump's executive order targeting mail voting.

The order, which covers the entire nation, comes after a judge blocked the implementation in 23 blue states just last week. https://t.co/5gFpAlu5l9

Raskin: There are at least two Supreme Court seats that are completely illegitimate because of the political games played by MAGA Republicans.

[Gone Fishing 🎣 @shuuu22]

@propublica It’s all in Pr0ject 2O25! Just ask Kevin Roberts over at Heritage‼️ He said Trump has already implemented 1,000+ of the 1,900+ actions from this Christian Nationalist manifesto.

[ProPublica @propublica]

New: We found that the Supreme Court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation of how they voted or the reasons why. https://t.co/bOHVbyqEtz

A male American Goldfinch perches on a cattail reed. These birds nest later than most songbirds so when their nestlings hatch and fledge there are plenty of seeds (such as thistle and sunflower) to eat.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else.

I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

WELCOME TO TRUMP'S AMERICA

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Trump literally held a contest to see who could buy the most of his crypto, with the prize being exclusive access to him in his official capacity as President.

To be clear: those were bribes.

Russian forces massacred hundreds of civilians in Bucha during a month of occupation in 2022, leaving bodies in the streets and a mass grave by the church.

What happened there is why Ukrainians refuse to give up occupied land in any peace deal — Dominic Pino, Washington Post. 1/

🚨Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker
drops a NUKE on Donald Trump:

“It really is ironic…on the eve of the 250th anniversary of our country, a man sits in the WH who is everything that the founders feared … An uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who acts like a king.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This is insane. You already know Trump lied about taxpayers footing the bill for his ballroom. What you probably don't know is that the contract to build it was yet another no-bid deal, just like the one for the reflecting pool.

The White House ran it through an office specifically exempt from the rules that are supposed to protect your money from being overspent. So not only did he lie about using your money, he skipped the one process that would have made sure you got the best price for it.

There is no version of this where that makes sense. None.

🚨BREAKING: In Everett, MA, an ICE agent appears to drop their firearm, while multiple agents are on top of a man…then another agent falsely claims the man was grabbing the gun.

In the video, as the gun falls to the ground, and is tossed away from the pile of agents, another agent can be heard yelling, “He grabbed your gun. He grabbed your gun.”

Except… the video appears to show the exact opposite.

The firearm wasn’t in the man’s hands. It had already been thrown away from the struggle.

This is exactly why poorly trained agents are so dangerous.

The second someone yells, “He’s got the gun,” every officer on the scene has to make a split-second decision, based on that information.

If that information is wrong, you’ve just created a situation where someone could be shot because another agent panicked, or falsely identified what happened.

We’ve seen this before with Alex Pretti.

Federal agents carrying firearms should be trained well enough not to lose control of their weapon… and certainly not to falsely claim the person they’re arresting has it.

We’ve now seen multiple videos of agents dropping magazines, firearms, and handling their weapons in ways that raise serious safety concerns.

Every time DHS puts poorly trained agents on the street, with the unlimited power to detain people and carry loaded firearms, they are putting the public, bystanders, and even their own agents at risk.

And until there is real accountability for reckless conduct, and inadequate training, these dangerous incidents will keep happening.

The public shouldn’t have to wonder whether the biggest threat during an arrest is the person being detained… or the agent carrying the gun.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

.@SuriCrowe: The Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pool is quite literally a reflection of the swamp that Trump and his cronies have turned our country into. You did it, Mr. Trump. And yet, Trump's arresting innocent people for touching the contaminated water. It is a new low.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Wow — Active duty Air Force Major Jason Watson. Arrested for protesting Trump.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

The geniuses at ICE just arrested a Catholic nun, who practices as a nurse, as she was walking to church.

Our Republican colleagues think they need even more money.

Had enough?
