@BohuslavskaKate Can IDF soldiers visit Europe after commuting genocide in Palestine?

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

VON DER LEYEN: We propose, for the first time, to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.

Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Watch as @RepZoeLofgren just eviscerated House Republicans and Donald Trump:

"These lunatics that Donald Trump unleashed back onto America's streets are prepared to go to war for him again. They're violent, they're hate-filled, and they have a president who will not hold them accountable for violating the law. He's pardoned them, he says he wants to give them taxpayer money to reward them. That's the threat we need to be discussing."

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

[Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin]

Trump threatened to have me hanged over a 90-second video I made. I'm a sitting United States Senator and spent decades serving this country, and it didn't matter. Keeping your head down will not keep you safe. Staying quiet will not keep you safe.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

REP. BACON: This administration, and particularly Pentagon right now, is very critical of Europe, EU, NATO, and you never hear them criticize Russia.

Why are they so weak on Russia, which affects their Ukraine and Baltics policy, but so quick to always want to criticize Europe?

That's not good for America, not good for our national security. We, with our allies, have to work together to counter Russia, to counter China, and to help us in Middle East.

This constant criticism, along with President's threats towards Greenland as well as Canada, has hurt us. Our allies have lost a lot of trust in United States.

I swear, @realDonaldTrump has got to be the STUPIDEST president EVER!

Widening the trade deficit means a country’s gap between what it buys from other nations (imports) and what it sells to them (exports) is growing, meaning the value of imports is increasingly outpacing the value of exports.

Countries generally prefer to decrease their trade deficits because a deficit means the nation is buying more from abroad than it is selling and can lead to debt accumulation and domestic job losses!

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKY: I told Trump that I didn’t play with Putin. For us, it’s very serious. It’s not about cards.

I didn’t have cards, but I had the most important — smart and brave people. This is our card — the card of Ukraine. That’s why we’re now very strong with our drone technology.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I told Marco Rubio, to his face, what a dangerous failure his leadership has been: Trump has waged a reckless war and eviscerated American leadership around the world.

Oh, but don’t worry—Trump’s face will be on U.S. passports.

It's a disgrace.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

@Burnman11 @DawnsMission The questions are being asked on behalf of all of us. That's what reporters do. We want answers, not juvenile, bullying personal attacks and evasions.

[Rocky Anderson @RockyAnderson]

@Burnman11 @DawnsMission What evidence is there for what you claim? Not one judge found any evidence that the election was rigged. Do you know something they didn't know? Or are you just a personality cultist?

[Rocky Anderson @RockyAnderson]

@DawnsMission @patriot_801 So describe the evidence. Or will you dodge the question just like Trump did?

[Rocky Anderson @RockyAnderson]

@joncoopertweets @LePapillonBlu2 Sue him just like he's sued news channels. He slandered you and your employer! Go after him and hold that bully accountable!

[Rocky Anderson @RockyAnderson]

@theutahepidemic @slcCouncil @SLCgov @slcmayor @VoteSuz @KingForUtah @SLCoMayor @ChiefBrianRedd @SimGillDA @SpencerJCox @GovCox @grantistheguy_ @mschultz_12 Our Mayor and the Police Chief have failed us. Just enforce the laws and get people the help they need. How difficult is that? Do your damn jobs! Our mayor has shown a total lack of compassion for addicts, residents, and local businesses alike. She only serves herself.

@ZelenskyyUa History shows that empires built on conquest eventually crumble, while the human longing for liberty endures. Thank you for leading your people with such clarity and dignity. The free world stands with you because your fight is ours. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.

And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.

I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
