Trump tells more lies about Ukraine:
"We had a deal based on rare earth... but they broke that deal. They broke it two days ago, we had a deal."
Wrong. Trump proposed that Ukraine hand over $500bn worth of natural resources, without any US security guarantees. Zelensky said no.
BREAKING: A respected Irish Catholic bishop joins the fight against MAGA by throwing his full-throated support behind the U.S. Episcopalian bishop who called out Donald Trump to his face last month.
Real Christians all around the world are standing up to Trump together...
"Brigid’s approach to healing was inseparable from her sense of justice. She did not merely tend to wounds, or weakness, but sought to address the inequalities that left people vulnerable in the first place," said Bishop Michael Router of the Archdiocese of Armagh at the Shrine of St. Brigid.
"Her acts of charity and service echoed Christ’s call in the scripture to love our neighbors as ourselves. This integrated view of compassion and justice is a striking contrast to the normal situation, in the past and even in the present in many societies, where vulnerable people often face neglect or sometimes even hostility," he added.
He paralleled the beloved saint's actions with those of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who decried Trump's cruel policies while he was sitting in the audience at Washington D.C.’s National Cathedral.
Bishop Router praised her sermon, stating that it was "a forthright and courageous sermon to give, but it was also in many ways a standard sermon about the basic Christian principles of loving one’s neighbor and about being charitable and generous in our dealings with those less fortunate."
In her sermon, Budde called for protecting marginalized migrants as well as LGBTQ+ people who understandably feel threatened by the MAGA regime.
"Let me make one final plea, Mr. President," Budde said, looking at Trump. "Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now."
After praising Budde, Bishop Router expounded on his true Christian ideas, stating that justice is not simply alleviating immediate suffering but working towards "true compassion."
He also drew attention to the intense backlash that Budde's remarks drew from right-wing circles—
"It is amazing the negativity that a simple, sincere statement of Christian beliefs can engender," said Router. "It is a wake-up call to all of us on the challenges inherent in trying to live out our Christian faith in today’s fractured world."
Let this be a message to anyone out there who calls themself a Christian. You cannot support Donald Trump's cruel, fascist policies and claim to follow the compassionate teachings of Jesus Christ.
Love and hate are mutually exclusive.

No, POTUS. #Zelensky is not a dictator. He is a resistant. He is the soul of his people (and of Europe). And he has, in #Ukraine, the popularity that Winston Churchill had, in 1944, in the UK. This is the testimony of a man who has, for the past 3 years, traveled all over Ukraine
SNP did zero to save the Grangemouth refinery & yesterday’s £25m announcement is derisory. But Labour haven’t done nearly enough either. What happened to the promises made by leadership to “save the jobs & put hundreds of millions into Grangemouth”? There’s still time to do it.
Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

Trump slams President Zelensky for demanding a seat at peace negotiations over his own country’s future:
“You’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years. You should have never started it.”
(Fact check: Russia started the war against Ukraine.)
BREAKING: Russia might be devastated! It looks like Europe is stepping up in a major way, potentially committing $732 billion in additional aid to Ukraine—nearly 2.5 times the total global support Ukraine has received since the war began.
If this happens, it would deal a crippling blow to Russia’s war efforts, significantly strengthening Ukraine’s defenses. Unlike Trump, who appears eager to accommodate Putin, European leaders recognize the stakes and are standing firmly for democracy and sovereignty.
This is Luke Graziani, a disabled Army veteran and father of four who did three tours overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump and Elon Musk just fired him from his job serving veterans at the Bronx VA Hospital.
RETWEET if you stand with Graziani against the Trump Administration!
@JayinKyiv OMFG!!! This is a nightmare. This guy should be charged with treason.
My God, I hate all the MAGA that voted for these d-bags and because of them our country is being destroyed.
@front_ukrainian I wish them all the best of luck in determining a way forward in counteracting trump and his traitorous behaviour towards Ukraine, Europe, Canada and all other NATO members. God bless you all
