Facts: Russia has the 5th highest HIV rate in the world, 52% of Russian hospitals lack hot water, 20% of Russian homes lack indoor plumbing, the life expectancy is 13 years below France, the domestic violence, alcoholism, and death rates are off the charts. Enjoy.

It has now been 6 days since a sitting U.S. Senator was GASSED by Ice Agents at Delaney Hall.

Shut. It. Down.

🚨 A STUNNING CLAIM.

According to a legal analyst, DOJ never filed a single motion opposing Trump's lawsuit before negotiating a settlement.

Not one filing contesting the case.

Not one motion asking the court to reject the claims.

In a normal lawsuit involving the federal government, government lawyers typically defend the government's position in court.

Here, critics argue that never happened.

Instead, they say DOJ moved directly into negotiations.

Today, I presented state awards of Ukraine to the people without whom Operation “Spiderweb” would not have happened. We have no right to name them – everything remains absolutely classified and will remain so for a long time. This is already a historic operation by the Security Service of Ukraine, one that was carefully prepared, and on this very day one year ago, it entered its final stage – striking Russian military equipment. Farther than Ukrainian long-range capabilities had ever reached before. As precisely as no one in Russia expected. And as justly as the enemy’s strategic aviation deserves.

“Spiderweb” destroyed or at least damaged 41 aircraft. Never before had Russia lost such equipment, in such numbers, and as a result of strikes by drones that were incomparably cheaper. Ukraine has once again proved that it knows how to act asymmetrically, that it defends itself actively and truly creatively, and that Russia has no chance of overcoming Ukrainian courage. Ukraine will always be one step ahead – in technology, in bravery, and in the ability to capture the world’s attention and rally the support of millions of human hearts.

Ukraine is now applying long-range sanctions against Russia for this war literally every day. We did not start this war, we did not provoke it, and the only thing we wanted for Ukraine and Ukrainians was peace. But as long as the Russians choose the opposite, and as long as Russia does everything to drag out this war and expand it, Ukrainians will continue to find responses that will definitely work. I thank all our warriors for their precision! I thank the Security Service of Ukraine for its long-range leadership! I thank everyone who helps us! Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine has released the full video of Operation Spiderweb the daring container hidden drone operation which left over 40 Russian airforce aircraft damaged or destroyed last year.

🚨MISSING: A Republican Congressman has basically VANISHED and the story gets weirder.

Rep. Tom Kean has missed more than 50 votes since March. Now, his WIFE’S whereabouts are unclear. Yet, he’s been trading stock the whole time.

We went to the Capitol to demand answers. Watch.

@Acyn Fun Fact: Whenever trump says "A lot of people don't know," it's ONLY HIM that he's talking about.

Every single time.

Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight and COOKED Trump and his goons

“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke…. and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about”

Dear @RepRalphNorman: Please watch this video. You and I were Members of Congress when January 6 happened. Remember?

Happy to bring police officers who were assaulted on January 6 to your office so they can explain to you how they got their injuries.

Russians not happy this morning, as Ukraine's Drones of Democracy bring civility to the savages 800km distance from Ukraine, freely careening into the most irreplaceable section of Lukoil's Kstovo reginery.

He’s trying to bury his tax returns just like he’s trying to bury the Epstein Files.

This is the most obscenely corrupt and morally bankrupt administration in American history. And it’s not even close.

Duffy: Maybe spending time with your children on a road trip is a wonderful experience—

Sen. Gillibrand: It is a wonderful thing, but your vacation was paid for by Boeing, Toyota, United Airlines, Enterprise, Shell, Royal Caribbean Group. All organizations and companies you oversee.

Update from the Highway of Death, the land corridor between Russia and Crimea is now under the control of Ukraine's Armed Forces.

A week into the campaign - military, logistics and fuel will no longer pass.
