Russian propagandist Alexander Ovechkin said "We just want to play."
Hundreds of Ukrainian children wanted to play. Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes wanted to compete. But they cannot because Russia killed them.
The @NHL is wrong to normalize Russia's genocidal war on Ukraine.
The resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth fails in the House 211-204, after 11 Democrats failed to show up for the vote. Those 11 have received a combined US$38.18 million in reported support from pro-Israel groups, including campaign contributions and independent expenditures.
Haley Stevens (MI): $36,305,500.05
Laura Gillen (NY): $550,628
Marilyn Strickland (WA): $375,383
Steven Horsford (NV): $214,188
Nancy Pelosi (CA): $187,544
Julia Brownley (CA): $192,080
Brittany Pettersen (CO): $148,737
Lou Correa (CA): $79,982
Frederica Wilson (FL): $44,385
Melanie Stansbury (NM): $56,661
Jonathan Jackson (IL): $20,500
Hegseth’s impeachment was blocked by 7 votes in the House. 11 democrats were allowed to miss the vote. We’re supposed to accept this leadership from Jeffries?
The fact that 11 elected officials can just not show up to work but working class folks literally can’t afford to take days off is exactly why folks are mad as helł right now.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
Ukraine has rejected American proposal to redraw its borders in an attempt to appease russia.
President Zelenskyy said: “Ukraine will never recognize this – either de facto or de jure. And this has always been our position at the negotiating table.”
He added: “For the United States, the easiest way to reach an agreement with the russians is to pressure us to give up territory. I hope the United States will find another way.”
This is exactly what is wrong with the current approach to negotiations. Instead of increasing pressure on the aggressor, the United States keeps pressuring the victim.
Ukraine is being asked to surrender its territory, while russia is being offered a way to claim victory.
But rewarding aggression does not create lasting peace. It creates incentives for future aggression.
The United States should be using its economic and military power to increase the costs of russia’s invasion, not trying to redraw Ukraine’s borders to accommodate Putin.
Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders are not bargaining chips.
Peace that rewards invasion is not peace. It is an invitation to the next war.
@Number10cat Trump made the announcement in a social media post on May 1, 2025.
The White House subsequently clarified that Veterans Day would not be renamed.
Only Congress can change the names of federal holidays
@Number10cat The claim that America did more than any other country in World War II is historically inaccurate.
The United States was enormously important to the Allied victory, but did not win the war alone, NOR contribute more than every other Allied country in every meaningful measure.
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.
Dänemarks Premierministerin:
„Dies sollte der am einfachsten zu beendende Krieg sein. Es gibt ein Land, das aggressiv auftritt und einen umfassenden Krieg begonnen hat, und es gibt ein Opfer. Es sind nicht zwei Länder, die in diesen Krieg eingetreten sind.“
Genau.
🔹 BREAKING
Israel has reportedly allowed the entry of more than 91,000 tents, over 8,200 trucks carrying blankets, winter clothing and bedding, 12 sewage water-pumping trucks, equipment to repair water and sewage networks, and fuel to operate treatment plants in Gaza.
This is what your voices, posts, and relentless advocacy can achieve.
Never underestimate the power of speaking up. Your words matter. Keep raising your voices for Gaza! ❤️
Hotel Receptionist: “Your final bill is $925.”
Me: “Sorry? I booked three nights at $150 per night. That’s $450.”
Receptionist: “There are additional charges on your room. An extra guest, restaurant orders and late-night room service.”
Me: “I travelled alone. I haven’t ordered room service once.”
Receptionist: “That’s what the system shows.”
Me: “Then I’d like to see the records.”
She called the duty manager.
Manager: “What’s the problem?”
Me: “Your hotel is charging me for someone I’ve never met and food I’ve never eaten.”
The manager opened my reservation and started checking the charges.
A few seconds later, he frowned.
Manager: “Your original booking was for one guest.”
Me: “Correct.”
Manager: “But someone changed it to two guests on the second night.”
Me: “Who made the change?”
He checked the system.
Manager: “It was done using a staff login.”
Me: “And who added the restaurant bills?”
He scrolled further.
Manager: “The same account.”
I looked at the receptionist.
She had stopped typing.
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?
Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”
Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.
Silence.
Every single one of them refused to say it.
Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.
Never stop connecting the dots.
JUST NOW: Joe Biden breaks down in tears as he surprises his son Hunter Biden in Dublin, who is receiving a student award at Trinity College.
Hunter was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse.
Love this!
Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.
BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders will NOT support Chuck Schumer as the Senate’s next Majority Leader.
“This election was about change. People want new leadership here in the Senate, so I will not be supporting Chuck,” said Senator Sanders.
