@StephaneGuerin@julieroginsky@grok Putin bombed his own Russian citizens and then assassinated over twenty journalists to try to hush it up. Putin's Brain authored a book in 1997 prioritizing taking Ukraine because they are not even a people.

Russians have struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and are burning down one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches‼️
The roof of the Dormition Cathedral is ablaze. The cathedral itself is a significant part of our history, it is older than Moscow. It was already there when russian neanderthals were building shacks made of sticks and shit.
Fucking barbarians!
In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
@BohuslavskaKate He willfully chose to ignore what his own military officials were telling him. US military officials that are observing Ukraine have reported all of this up the chain, that Ukriane is remaking modern warfare in real time.
Today in Kyiv, people gathered to say their last goodbye to Colombian volunteer Jan Sebastian “Onyx” Restrepo Mazo.
He served in Ukraine’s International Legion and later with the 413th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment "Raid."
Wounded in battle, he returned to the fight and ultimately gave his life for Ukraine — a country that wasn't his by birth, but became his by choice.
He crossed an ocean to defend freedom and paid the ultimate price.
Never tell us this war matters only to Ukrainians.
Honor to the hero.
Honor to all who defend freedom and democracy.
Irish parliament have now started demanding samples from Aughinish are forensically analysed against missile fragments. This is a huge step closer to linking the russian refinery to the Kremlins military complex.
.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.
Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.
A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.
Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.
DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.
Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.
Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."
The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.
Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.
The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.
Until it didn't.
Mullin is lying. He says ICE is taking “the worst of the worst” off the street. The data says otherwise. TRAC found 70% of people in ICE detention had no criminal conviction, and Cato says only 6% booked into detention in 2026 had a violent conviction. This is propaganda, nothing else.

Senator Chris Coons (D) on the fate of Ukraine support bill in the Senate: "It has broad support among democrats and republicans" - why is it taking such a long time in this case, I ask - "because President Trump refuses to recognize that defending Ukraine is defending America"
REP. BACON: This administration, and particularly Pentagon right now, is very critical of Europe, EU, NATO, and you never hear them criticize Russia.
Why are they so weak on Russia, which affects their Ukraine and Baltics policy, but so quick to always want to criticize Europe?
That's not good for America, not good for our national security. We, with our allies, have to work together to counter Russia, to counter China, and to help us in Middle East.
This constant criticism, along with President's threats towards Greenland as well as Canada, has hurt us. Our allies have lost a lot of trust in United States.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
