I presented state awards on the occasion of Ukraine’s Constitution Day to Ukrainian men and women who work for our state. First and foremost, to our military: I personally presented the Orders of the Golden Star to the Heroes of Ukraine, and also handed awards to the families of the fallen who, tragically, were awarded this title posthumously.
I also presented awards to Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko; the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Epiphanius; our multi-time champion Liudmyla Luzan; war correspondent Andriy Tsaplienko; and the first responders and a police officer who saved the Dormition Cathedral after the Russian strike.
I thank everyone who, through their work, words, faith, and actions, supports Ukraine and our people. Everyone who, in their place, helps build a free and strong state. A state that is fighting today for its freedom and independence. And it will certainly preserve them.

Israel is not the nation state of the Jewish people.
You are singlehandedly responsible for antisemitism by deliberately and callously conflating Judaism with Zionism.
Zionists can repeat the same lie till they are blue in the face but that doesn’t change reality.
Jews don’t not belong to Israel. Jews are a religious Identity hailing from many races and nationalities.
Zionism is an identity theft at the highest order!
🇺🇸U.S. House Representative Thomas Massie:
“Last night I received a flash drive containing the complete list of files belonging to Jeffrey Epstein. Everything is there: every billionaire, every campaign donor, every single person. Now let me explain why you haven’t heard anything about this in the media. Because they’re all in there. They will do everything to prevent these documents from being made public. Epstein was far more than just a pedophile; he was an intelligence asset. He was part of a blackmail operation used to control billionaires, politicians, and world leaders. If this list ever sees the light of day, the system as we know it will collapse. The public has the right to know the truth, and I am not afraid to share it.”
It looks like a political earthquake may be coming.
I have been a voting liberal Democrat for more than half a century, and I much prefer energetic Democratic socialist candidates to craven centrists subject to the donor class who have been ineffective against the Trump administration's incursions on our liberties.
.@JamesTalarico: I learned defiance from my mother — a 7th generation Texan from Laredo.
One night, my birth father became abusive again. But that night, my mom declared her own independence. She packed all our stuff into her little Ford Escort. There wasn't room for a nursery, so I slept in a crib in her closet.
That's what it means to be a Texan. We are strivers and builders and dreamers of all colors and creeds, of all backgrounds and beliefs. It's in our blood. Texans don't like tyrants, and we don't surrender easily.
🚨NEW: @AbdulElSayed responds to Dem powerbrokers saying it’s too dangerous for him to be Dems’ Senate nominee:
“If you’re Chuck Schumer, I’m dangerous. If you’re AIPAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re a corporate PAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re Blue Cross Blue Shield’s CEO, I’m pretty damn dangerous.”
Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

I voted for Trump 3 times. I am very, very conservative. I worked with my local Republican precinct and Republican grassroots across the country.
I fought for Trump and Republicans for YEARS. Put in 20-40 hours per week.
I now believe Trump is likely an Antichrist.
Shoutout to all the Christians who spent the week telling Haitian refugees to go back to their country and then woke up this morning and head to church.
You're the real hypocrites.
