Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea.

The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring.

Billionaires who want to rig the rules to screw you are trying to buy this election.

Don’t let them.

If you wonder why Trump is so angry at Zelensky...

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Josh Shapiro, who is usually one of the most reserved Governors in America, just UNLOADED on Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump for their plan to hold a public execution. This is a must watch.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

While Trump brings Russian diesel into the US, a tanker carrying 750,000 barrels of oil has struck a sea mine in the Strait of Hormuz.

As a reminder: according to Trump, oil prices are determined by Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, while the situation in Hormuz supposedly plays no role—but as always, that too is a lie from Trump.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump’s Department of Justice is investigating 5 major TV networks for “antitrust violations” after they stood up for press freedom.

ABC
CBS
CNN
NBC
Fox News

No, Mr. Trump, we are not a dictatorship. In America, media is allowed to criticize you. It’s called the 1st Amendment.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Hot take: Kidnapping US citizens for the crime of being brown is bad actually.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Yes and while you are at it @nytimes please do a story on American scientists who receive violent threats and legal thuggery on a daily basis, and your @nytopinion columns encouraging attacks on scientists with your fake opinion pieces on gain of function, lab leak Covid conspiracies, shameless

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨NEW: Sen. Chris Murphy says Trump was so unprepared for the Iran war that Iranian forces “obliterated” billion-dollar American military bases within days.

But here’s what makes this even more troubling: Murphy says Congress is being denied access to inspect the damage.

We’re talking about billions in taxpayer-funded military infrastructure, American lives lost, and lawmakers unable to independently assess the destruction.

If the administration was confident in its preparation for Iranian retaliation, why shouldn’t Congress be allowed to see the consequences?

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

putin has been in power for 27 years. Yet President Trump demands a new president in Ukraine.

The double standard is impossible to ignore.

Ukraine’s democratic procedures are not bargaining chips for Washington’s short-term political gains. Neither our Constitution nor our sovereignty is negotiable. @SkyNews

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

It's great to see a Democratic politician speak of the deep disorders of the people running this country.

[Craig Unger @craigunger]

He’s been an asset of Russian intelligence for decades @scaramucci, as I show in House of Trump, House of Putin, American Kompromat, and my Trump Russia Timeline on Substack.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

A federal judge’s ruling may have just thrown President Donald Trump’s scheme to assert control over state voter rolls into turmoil. https://t.co/XcXHL9V9sa

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course

Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal.

Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.

But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland!

The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city.

Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.

Ossoff: We just learned over the weekend: three more confirmed killed in action from this war the president launched on lies. Do you all remember that he declared victory on the fourth day of this war?

Last year, they told us they had obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. Then this year they told us that it posed an imminent threat to our national security, and they had to take us to war. They told us it would just last a few days. They told us it would just last a few weeks. They have been covering up combat casualties to try to deceive the American public about the true cost of war. It’s a disgrace. 

And meanwhile, we have a global energy crisis. Diesel is at its all-time high in American history. The experience of our fellow Georgians right now—going to school, taking the kids in the morning—you can only fill up half a tank of gas. You stop at the grocery store on the way home in the evening, and you can’t afford ground beef; it’s up 40% since Trump was elected. You get a notice in the mail that your health insurance premiums have doubled. The hospital in your community is closing down services. None of these things had to happen. These were all decisions that Donald Trump and Mike Collins made.

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious with Zelenskyy because his Truth Social app is now "ruined" without all the Russian bots spamming endless AI videos of him as a superhero or Jesus, and his app now just shows real people complaining about how everything sucks.
