[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.

The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.

Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.

I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.

Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sent an open letter to Putin. It includes some hard facts unpleasant for the Russian dictator. However, he also proposes a direct meeting for ending this war, on neutral soil, e.g. Switzerland, Türkiye or an Arab country.

Ukraine is having the strategic initiative. Putin is getting humiliated again and again. The war has reached Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Putin is under pressure, and even some Russian allies must feel it by now that Russia cannot win.

If Putin refuses then it would give Ukraine even more political backing. If Putin gives in, then during a phase of weakness. A clever gambit by President Zelenskyy.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Our intelligence services reported receiving data, including from American and European partners, about Russia preparing a strike with the Oreshnik missile. We are verifying this information.

We are seeing signs of preparation for a combined strike on Ukrainian territory, including Kyiv, involving various types of weaponry. The specified intermediate-range weapons could be used in such a strike. It is important to act responsibly on air-raid alerts, starting this evening. Russian madness truly knows no bounds, so please protect your lives – use shelters.

Second, we are drawing the attention of our partners in the United States and in Europe to the fact that the use of such weapons and the prolongation of this war also sets a global precedent for other potential aggressors. If Russia is allowed to destroy lives on such a scale, then no agreement will restrain other similar hatred-based regimes from aggression and strikes. We count on a response from the world – and on a response that is not post factum, but preventive. Pressure must be put on Moscow so that it does not expand the war.

Third, we are preparing our air defense as much as possible, and we will respond fully justly to every Russian strike. We have given permission for a parade, but Russia has no permission for madness. This war must be ended – we need peace, not some missiles satisfying the sick ambitions of one individual. I thank everyone helping to protect lives. Once again, please take care of yourselves and use shelters tonight.

Fucking FINALLY.

Jeffries: "We're gonna win back control of the House ... the ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority, and is invading and haunting the nation right now, and we take that seriously. Which is why Democrats are committed to launching a decisive and overwhelming response in advance of 2028."

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power https://t.co/zHuVfDV8dh

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

He’s very rattled about this and rightly so. It’s a scandal.

[Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis]

‼️⚡️OMG, this is next-level trolling! 😅 Zelenskyy released an official presidential decree allowing Russia to hold its parade in Moscow, specifically stating that Ukraine would exclude Red Square from its strikes for the duration of the parade—while also including the exact military coordinates of Red Square in the decree.

Cool!

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?

Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”

Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.

Silence.

Every single one of them refused to say it.

Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.

Never stop connecting the dots.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

This exchange between @SenBlumenthal and Trump’s judicial nominees is utterly astounding.

If you can watch this and still think this country isn’t falling into authoritarianism and fascism under Donald Trump, then you are not being honest with yourself.

[P.C. Evans @PCEvans10]

@BohuslavskaKate I still get lots of pro-Ukraine content, including yours.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Wake up: he is calling for A NUCLEAR STRIKE. Seek his removal immediately.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

“A whole civilization will die tonight.” @johnthune Senator Thune: Are you serious right now? Are you not going to denounce this? Are you not going to seek the removal of this crazy person?

This is your responsibility that is what Article I of the Constitution is about.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

It was at this point that our Founders thought the best thing to do would be to remove a mad man who has the executive office. It became more formalized with the 25th amendment, but more people now should be calling for this man’s removal.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.

Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

🔥 GOP Sen. Rand Paul blasts Trump’s DHS secretary pick, Sen. Markwayne Mullin:

“You told the media that I was a freaking snake and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted… I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force…

Explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues to set the proper example for ICE and Border Patrol agents."

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
