BREAKING: Democrat Mary Peltola wins Alaska’s Senate race, defeating incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan, VoteHub projects.
Democrats will now hold 56 seats in the Senate.
We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

This reads like a dystopian nightmare.
The barbarism of the Russian government knows few bounds. Forcing abducted Ukrainian children, who have since reached military age, to fight against their own country is savagery that goes beyond the pale.
And yet Witkoff and Kushner are in Moscow, negotiating with the same brutal government over Ukraine's future and Europe's security architecture, while smiling for the cameras and accepting gifts.
Trump's role in this should not be forgotten. By appeasing Putin and encouraging him to believe that he will ultimately prevail, Trump weakens Russia's incentives to end the conflict sooner, allowing Putin to continue his butchery.

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.
JUST IN: The D.C. Logan Circle shooter has been identified as emergency physician Dr. Matt Lambert.

Funny how MAGA is silent
@2phatpundits@Ericust9@Reporter_Mia Also, wasn’t trump complaining Alaska republicans will get tricked regarding the Senatorial election bc republican voters don’t know what an incumbent is, so they won’t know which Sullivan to vote for..
House floor is frozen right now, after Republicans voice voted a VA bill and no Democrat called for a roll call vote.
Republicans said Democrats simply neglected to ask for a roll-call vote, allowing the Take Care of America’s Veterans Act to immediately move to the Senate.
Rep. Mark Takano of California, the top Democrat on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, said he and his staff were “engaged in negotiations” about last-minute changes to the bill — drawing them away from the podium — when the measure was passed. He said no Democrat asked for the recorded tally “because of the treachery and trickery of the majority.”
“While these negotiations are going, they rammed through this vote,” he said.
