Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has stalled so Putin bombs Ukrainian cities every night. The President’s negotiations have failed & we’ve done little to help Ukraine defend itself over the last year and a half. The time to act is now. Sending defensive weapons also tells Putin he cannot win. Weakness incites him to continue the war.

I was a U.S. Naval Intelligence Officer, I served proudly in Afghanistan, and I’ve dealt with the Intelligence Community. I can say with confidence that Bill Pulte’s lack of experience is dangerous for our national security. Congress must push back and prevent an inexperienced loyalist from becoming the next Director of National Intelligence.
Putin will continue this total war against Ukraine until he chokes on his own blood.
Nothing else will stop him in this madness. No “concessions,” no empty “dialogue.”
If his bloodthirsty, hate-filled response to Zelensky’s plea for peace is not enough to make this question clear once and for all, then I don’t know what ever will.
If Republicans want to talk about fraud, let’s do it. Trump is responsible for:
✅Defrauding college students
✅Profiting off the presidency
✅Crypto scams
✅Corrupt foreign deals
✅Self-dealing government contracts
✅Shady real estate transactions
✅Pump & dump stock schemes
✅Pardons for political allies
Care to comment, @HouseGOP?
Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence has never even received an intelligence briefing before this Thursday.
For context, the White House janitorial staff held a higher security clearance than the new Intelligence Director.
This is DANGEROUS.
Trump lashes out at GOP Sen. Thom Tillis after Tillis said he won’t vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general unless Blanche condemns January 6:
“Senator Tillis is a loser. He’s an angry man because he’s not going to be a Senator any longer… He fought Pete Hegseth. Pete Hegseth turned out to be a gem…Todd Blanche is fantastic”
If by “gem” you mean arguably the worst secretary of defense in modern history, then sure.
Putin's endgame in Ukraine is exactly the same as it was when the invasion started.
He still demands a demilitarized puppet state to serve his empire.
We cannot accept a reality where imperial aggression is rewarded.
Russia deserves nothing but a humiliating defeat
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
Russians predicting that they will have no remaining fuel depots by autumn, and that a collapse at the front is coming due to the ongoing logistics and fuel crisis - eing that the army all runs on generators and vehicles reliant on diesel and gasoline.
He further cites that "farmers are freaking out right now" as farming dies with no fuel.
