As the power struggle in #Sudan continues, re-upping the #hatespeech report we did with @FollowSUDIA and @AndariyaMag that provides important context to the political crisis.

NEW: Our visual analysis suggests the United States hit two drinking-water facilities overnight in southern Iran with precision-guided munitions. Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. w/ @ckoettl @johnismay @ArtemisChats

We’re with you, Janeese!

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

We are not going to get ICE off our streets or protect Home Rule by fearing this President.

Threatening DC because you do not like how our residents vote is an attack on democracy itself.

The people of DC elect the Mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Trump.

I have not barraged email or socials with fundraising, but I've eaten a bag of Flamin' Hot Funyuns so I'm living on the edge....If you want to see D.C. government work & improve your lives for the better, please contribute what you can to my GOTV effort! https://t.co/9J8mTDiYUJ

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupier’s army with components for drones and missiles. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their precision! The Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the frontline is more than 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the warriors of the Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. The entirely just responses of the Security Service of Ukraine also reached two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region, at a distance of 700 kilometers. I thank everyone who fights and works for Ukraine!

Here's another video made by Iranians making light of the ceasefire, this time featuring Israel, the Strait of Hormuz (with India and Japan trying to pass through), as well as the UAE, which Tehran retaliates against by hurling a shoe. 🤣

A Trump order asked national park visitors to flag 'negative' historical info. They had other ideas

“The kind of war to which we were used, the kind of war that Russia had in mind in Ukraine—to invade and occupy a nation—is no longer conceivable,” Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto told me. “Wars run as long as a nation has the resilience and a will to resist. Conquering a nation when its citizens are ready to fight is impossible even when there is disparity in strength, as there was between Russia and Ukraine, or even more so between the U.S. and Iran. It’s hard even for Israel, which hasn’t yet been successful against Hamas in what is practically just one city.” @GuidoCrosetto

@PavlovicNBCS Good summary

[Sam Plo Kwia Collins, Jr. @SamPKCollins]

MY VIEW: Council chambers currently packed as the D.C. Council gears up for a Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent first vote on the FY 2027 budget.

Much to write about. Got two @WashInformer articles in the works to document this moment in time.

[Will Ferroggiaro @WillFinDC]

@notgaetti He does it all. Criminally underrated

[Will Ferroggiaro @WillFinDC]

@SteveAustinWI The tone is alike as well!

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

A president who cannot defend his flat-out false conspiracy theories without attacking the press is a dangerous sign for our democracy.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Yesterday marked 100 days into Trump’s war with of choice with Iran, and missiles were still flying across the region. Here at home, Americans still have no clear strategy, no real answers, and no end in sight.

[Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis]

🚨Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had a brief phone call with U.S. President Trump’s envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The call took place at the airport during a technical landing in Chișinău, the capital of Moldova.

According to my sources, there were signals ahead of the call that U.S. envoys may finally visit Kyiv in about two weeks. However, similar promises in the past have not materialized.

Neither Witkoff nor Kushner has visited Kyiv to date. At the same time, Witkoff has officially visited Moscow at least eight times.

On opening day of early voting centers, Janeese Lewis George talks to reporters inside lobby of Whitelaw Apartments, before planning to walk over with family and cast ballot on U Street

[David French @DavidAFrench]

This is unhinged. If a family member behaved this way, you'd worry about them. If a CEO behaved like this, the board would meet. He's living in an alternate reality and furious when a person won't indulge his fantasies.
