[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Before taking any public action, I take behind-the-scenes steps toward de-escalation. At the intelligence and military levels, Belarus received a message: stop helping the Russians. The issue with the relay stations has been ongoing for a long time, and it has resulted in casualties solely on the Ukrainian side. They are technically coordinating this and helping Russian and Iranian drones strike Ukrainians with greater precision. Lukashenko received this information – and he must demonstrate de-escalation with more than just the words “I’m sorry.” He can keep his “apology” to himself. It has meant nothing since the first day of the war.

Step one is to end all technical support. A relay station constitutes direct support. Turn it off, remove it, and show us that it has been removed. Since this message was conveyed to them repeatedly, we have now reached the stage of issuing a public signal. If he does not remove it, we will remove everything ourselves. Similarly, we’re sending a message: please stop supplying fuel to the Russian army. There are no threats here. We’re simply saying that we see what’s happening. The first steps are always behind the scenes, but the next steps are different.

You don’t even have articulable suspicion, let alone probable cause. What the broken DOJ is doing now to please the disgraceful president would be laughable if it wasn’t destroying our country. It’s theater instead of law

SCOOP: A priest who is close to Trump lobbied him to grant clemency to David Gentile.

Gentile privately indicated Father Frank Mann was paid.

EDNY prosecutors opened an investigation into the commutation.

But it was closed by Trump political appointees. https://t.co/nKDryl6D3I

Trump is treating people around the reflecting pool worse than the January 6th insurrectionists and that is terrifying

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The plan is for this plane to be in service for two years and then Trump will take if for himself. No President has ever stolen an Air Force for himself.

And you paid for it. The total cost could be $1 billion of your money for a new luxury jet for Trump and his family.

@shashj @mehdirhasan Bessent will be remembered for being nothing, except maybe his groveling subservience to Trumpism, while Zelenskyy will be remembered as a hero of the 21st century.

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.

The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.

RT @MacFarlaneNews: The Department of Justice is using deliberately passive language and refusing to put the matter in writing

So... yeah.…

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

🚨 TRUMP SPARKS DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH ITALY: Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his planned June 21–22 trip to Washington after President Trump insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged” for a photo with him at the G7 and that he “felt sorry for her.”

Meloni released a video firing back at Trump’s comments, calling them “completely fabricated.”

“I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.”

She added that Trump appears to show more accommodation toward “the enemies of the West” than America’s allies and concluded by saying: “Italy and I never beg.”

[ProPublica @propublica]

When the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan last year to a startup linked to Donald Trump Jr., defense officials and the company tried to tamp down suspicions of cronyism.

We found that the request came directly from the White House.

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

I think Republicans should think through what decisions they made to bring the US to its worst military defeat ever

It’s not enough to just give up and move on
