Russia’s Geran-5 K5-K drone is basically a small cruise missile. It has a jet engine, a range of about 1,000 km and cruises at over 450 km/h.

Ukraine found 93 foreign electronic components inside one, including 52 from US and 10 from Swiss manufacturers, United24. 1/

Трамп рассылал спонсорам письма, в которых предлагал им доступ к секретным отчётам нацбезопасности за деньги.

Сенатор Марк Келли тычёт в такое письмо носом директора ЦРУ, а тот говорит что ничего о них не знал 😁

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.

[Rep. Sylvia Garcia @RepSylviaGarcia]

Quite the welcome to Washington for incoming Members of Congress.

The message couldn't be clearer: Americans are calling for an end to ICE's cruel and reckless tactics.

This is absurd and dangerous. These lands belong to us all, not just the rich and powerful. I’m working on legislation right now to put a stop to this.

Hands off our public lands.

I think we’ve found an explanation for how the trump regime “lost” $31.5 billion in aircraft parts. Connect the goddamn dots.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When I received the second report from our negotiating team after their meetings in Abu Dhabi, they told me that the Russians think and say they have already occupied half of Donbas, which remains under our control. These were military officers, Russian intelligence, and they were serious about it. Our team told them, “We don’t know how you can even say such things. We have video footage, images, other things proving that these areas are under our control.”

This is the problem. Putin lives in a different reality. Of course, he will be sharing with the Americans that he needs one or two months to fully occupy the east of Ukraine. I can draw a picture for him too where I fully occupy Russia. But it’s not true. What was good is that the American side confirmed the Ukrainian assessment of what is happening on the battlefield.

This is why we need to sit and speak at the level of leaders. There are a lot of questions. Like we spoke about the city of Kherson that is divided by the river today. The Russians control one bank, we control the other. But people want to live united on both banks. This is a Ukrainian city. Such issues are sensitive, but we have to speak about them. I think that tomorrow the teams will discuss the possibility of meeting at the level of leaders. I'm not sure that Russia is ready, but we will raise this topic.

ICE handcuffed & detained an 8-year-old boy, and now he’s missing.

He’s just one of the over 20,000 people who have been disappeared by ICE. This is sick.

Abolish ICE now.

She was 22 when Russian forces captured her during the evacuation of Mariupol. She was 24 when she finally returned home.

Mariana Checheliuk spent 728 days in Russian captivity. Beatings, torture, sexualized humiliation, solitary confinement, and two suicide attempts. She also witnessed the horrific abuse of other Ukrainian prisoners.

On May 31, 2024, she was finally freed. But thousands of Ukrainians remain in Russian prisons.

I have published her full story, including her testimony about the horrors of Russian captivity.

Please read and share. These crimes must never be forgotten.

ICE detain yet another U.S. citizen—refuse to look at his ID.

He was just at Home Depot getting work supplies.

Agent said he "fit the description."

"Just check my ID!" he yells.
"You're bad at your job—cause I'm a U.S. citizen!"

"I know my rights!"
"Just checking my pockets!"

The woman filming confirms what is happening.

"Look, he’s telling them, 'You piece of shit I have my ID'," she says in Spanish.

"They're just grabbing him for the sake of it."

"I told you it was ICE—and he’s telling them that he’s an American within his rights."

Incident occurred at Home Depot location on W Morrison Rd in Brownsville, Texas.

Newsom's budget looking all good.👍

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

BREAKING: Under @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom’s leadership, California’s economy has grown by over 50% — adding $1.5 TRILLION — since 2019.

As he leaves office, there is ZERO projected deficit over the next two years, and the state is flush with an extra $7.7 billion in revenue above projections.

The art of the bad stupid deal.

[Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 @maria_drutska]

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around.

So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms.

The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥

🇷🇺🇺🇦‼️ “YOU HAVE LOST, PUTIN!” RUSSIAN RETIRED GENERAL PUBLICLY CONDEMNS THE KREMLIN’S WAR IN UKRAINE!

Retired Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov, known for his Russian nationalist and imperialist views, has reportedly declared that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has failed and called for an end to the bloodshed.

“You have lost. You calculated absolutely nothing correctly,” Ivashov said, criticizing the Kremlin’s disastrous miscalculations and recalling how its promised swift military operation turned into a prolonged war.

According to Ivashov, continuing the conflict is pushing Russia toward deeper militarization, economic stagnation and social decline, damaging civilian sectors ranging from education to culture.

He argued that the war is destroying Russia’s future to preserve the political survival of one man.

The criticism comes amid Ukrainian estimates that Russian military casualties, including those killed and wounded, have exceeded 1.6 million. That figure has not been independently verified.

🔥 Ivashov’s reported remarks are particularly notable because they come from a retired senior Russian officer associated with nationalist views rather than a traditional Kremlin opponent.

His criticism highlights the growing costs of a war that has consumed enormous military resources and inflicted extensive human losses without achieving Russia’s original objectives.

Being a reader means falling in love with fictional characters, getting attached to people who don’t exist, and sometimes crying over stories that aren’t even real.
