The yellow box in left pic shows zone south of the Seym & W of the currently Ukraine-occupied Kursk region that'll likely become entirely Ukraine occupied soon. Russians just tried to pontoon into this zone & take Ukraine-zone by surprise but were, it seems, thwarted by HIMARS!

YIPPEE!!

The situation in Russia: Without binoculars, it is no longer possible to see where the line at the gas station ends. 😂😂😂

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

Dear Leland Vittert: U've got some nerve taking on Scott Pelley for not knowing/admitting how biased he is, esp given that U suffer from the very same malady, being oblivious to your innate bias, except in ur case the bias is the antithesis of his. U're not so special after all?

It's a miracle! Somebody splains the Ukraine War in plain English on the MSM. Now, if only somebody from the Trump Admin could catch this show (I know - not likely).

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

We can’t be neutral when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. This is an evil vs good war, and we should stand with the democracy, the victim of an invasion and not the invader. People say they’re pro-Ukraine, but actions speak louder than words.

Dumb, dumb, dumb, r these clowns, whether rising or falling! A rise from $100 to $600 is NOT 600%, but merely 500%, & the maximum possible drop, for anything, whatever the price, is 100%, e.g., a drop from $600 to $0 is 100% (& a drop from $600 to $100 is not 600%, just 83%).

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"

Trump: "Right"

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This man exhibits the supreme confidence of someone who has no idea that he has no idea what he's talking about

[Ed Franks @edfranks]

Wow. You're right. Darn good point. Thx for highlighting this hypocrisy.

[Dan Lichtenstein @DanLichtenstein]

@AFStreamWatch @KeithOlbermann The Venn diagram for people saying that Pretti shouldn’t have brought a gun to that type of situation, and the people calling this guy a patriot hero, is a perfect circle.

[Ed Franks @edfranks]

I'll settle, for now, to simply get the impeachment of AG Pam Pondi under way?! We don't need to wait till next Nov b/c we can likely get the necessary majority of the House ANYWAY from GOP defectors?! Even if the Senate isn't likely, pre-Midterms, to give a ⅔ vote, do it!

[Low-Carbon, ESG Investing @GreenInvestGuy]

Ro is really distinguishing himself, wonder if he could or would run for Pres? I believe he could be a decent candidate, despite the exceptional prejudice and bigotry of US voters

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by @RepThomasMassie and me.

One document, 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, was completely redacted.

I explain what is missing and what the survivors and their lawyers are still expecting to be released.

[Ed Franks @edfranks]

Recall when Sloviansk was liberated in the Spr of 2014 after Putin's premature attempt to grab Donetsk & Luhansk. & here we are, 11 yrs later, still holding Russia at bay, if barely. "At Sloviansk direction clashes yesterday - General Staff of AFU reports" https://t.co/pqXr9sgog6

[Ed Franks @edfranks]

From about 50 - 55' Trump goes completely NUTS, ranting about this & that, lying repeatedly, one lie after another. Many other parts are appalling to boot. Not sure if the 50-55' part is the cut rant often cited, but it well could be! Last nite's cut "interview" was unbearable.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

See President Donald J. Trump's FULL interview on @60Minutes — all 73+ minutes, without the network's edits and cuts.

WATCH IN FULL:

[Ed Franks @edfranks]

He's an ignorant liar?!

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Is JD Vance a liar or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants?

Dumb and dumber talking about all the dumb people running things in "this" country?? Doesn't he realize HE'S running this country?! I guess not.
(BTW, I've fled to Bluesky, just in case anyone wants to know where everyone who's not surgically attached to Elon has gone?!)

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

A picture is worth a 1000 words!? For many, this aphorism implies quantity is linked to veracity, but beware a pic can say much yet distort much?!

[David Collier @mishtal]

@NYTimesPR There is no joy in this

With @bbcnews forced to take down a documentary because the star was the son of a Hamas minister

And now, most legacy media need to own up to using deceitful photos

We can't possibly trust a media that just keeps lying to us.
