Rubio says the Russian invasion of Ukraine is "only about Donbas, about one region of Ukraine." Well, the occupied parts of the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions would like a word. Crimea also still exists.
Constantly bombed Odesa and Kyiv would like to know why they are being targeted if the war is only about Donbas. Kryvyi Rih asks why Russia is murdering kids in its shopping malls if the war is about Donbas. Lutsk is also confused. Dnipro is targeted constantly. The liberated parts of the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions would like to point out that mass graves of Ukrainians killed by Russian troops didn't appear by magic.
It's called a full-scale invasion for a reason!
And by the way, Donbas isn't even just "one region", it consists of at least two.
Elon Musk spreads disinformation about Ukraine after being exposed for sabotaging military operations by the WSJ.
The US tax funded billionaire, Trump's largest donor, (backed by Israel and Russia); tied to the deaths of thousands of children due to USAid cuts, blames Ukraine for not surrendering.
A $25 BILLION Alaska natural gas project is being promoted as a cornerstone of American energy security. But behind the scenes, Russian financing has surfaced, and senior executives have walked away from the project.
The New York Times reports that former Polar LNG CEO Joel Riddle discovered that Russian energy giant Novatek, which is under U.S. sanctions, had secretly helped finance the project through an Abu Dhabi intermediary. Novatek reportedly discussed providing up to $15 million and now says it is moving toward a minority stake in Polar LNG.
Riddle and other senior executives have since left the company amid the financing dispute.
Then there’s Gentry Beach, a businessman involved in efforts to bring Novatek’s technology to Alaska. He’s a college friend of Donald Trump Jr.
Meanwhile, Trump temporarily waived Russia sanctions, and separate reporting has linked the Alaska project to discussions about sanctions relief for another Russian LNG project.
So much for keeping American energy independent of Russian influence. The hypocrisy and criminality are staggering.
@WhiteHouse trump, his family, this administration (and a good number of congressional republicans) have smashed the treasury window, grabbed the goods and are now getting ready to run with it all.
Along with BILLIONS of $$ out of Russia.
@WhiteHouse If you want the full Epstein files released, Trump does NOT want your vote or support. He explicitly said so
The Republicans ONLY want people who support child rape and pedophilia to vote for them this year. I'm quite serious. Here is the quote...
@WhiteHouse ruzzia is a terrorist state. Trump allied the United States with war criminals for his own profit. He despises this country even more than he hates Ukraine.
@SecScottBessent And Russia? Oh no! The Trump family benefit from the potential deals there.....
Corrupt - get rid of all of them, vote against all GOP candidates! They are spineless and let Trump do this.
First Lady Melania Trump is claiming credit for a ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, southern Ukraine.
But the Vatican says it was Pope Leo XIV who phoned Putin on Oct. 16, while still in hospital after lung cancer surgery, and asked for a truce to get food and aid in. The Kremlin confirmed the call. Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin says the initiative was the pope's.
As @thedailybeast notes, it's reminiscent of 2016, when Melania said she wrote her RNC speech "with as little help as possible," only for whole passages to turn out to mirror Michelle Obama's 2008 convention speech.
After claiming for years that other countries pay the tariffs and that they don’t raise consumer prices, Trump is now rolling back some tariffs to help a Republican senator win reelection. Because of course Americans pay for it.
Insane.
MAGA @POTUS ? No, with your corruption and forever war, quite the opposite!
Vote out all GOP candidates folks - they are the spineless supporters of King Donald. who let him get away with it....

@HankDesmondPhD Bullshit!
The anecdote is fictional. Trump's Oct. 22 rally was at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City; his schedule shows direct arrival and departure from the site with no such walk.
The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.
Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to
- leave the ECHR
- repeal the Equality Act
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”
He is not on your side
