Despite federal courts ordering his administration to use the USDA’s contingency funds to pay for SNAP benefits, President Trump says he won’t. 42 million Americans rely on these benefits.
BREAKING: We just won in court — again.
A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.
The court granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order — HALTING ANY FEDERALIZATION, RELOCATION, OR DEPLOYMENT of ANY GUARD MEMBERS TO OREGON FROM ANY STATE.
Trump’s abuse of power won’t stand.
🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.
Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣
This is a must-watch. 🔥
The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.
We will provide updates when able.
Charlie Kirk today. Melissa and Mark Hortman in June. We cannot allow America to become a place where civic engagement puts your life at risk. Pray for our country. This has to stop.
Another report from the Commander of our Air Force. We are clarifying all available data and analyzing the details of this Russian strike.
Already during the night, Ukrainian forces were informing the Polish side through the relevant channels about the movement of Russian drones.
At around 00:50 Kyiv time, the first crossing of the state border between Ukraine and Poland by a Russian drone was recorded. At least two Russian drones that entered Polish territory during the night used Belarusian airspace. In total, at least several dozen Russian drones were moving along the border of Ukraine and Belarus and across western regions of Ukraine, approaching targets on Ukrainian territory and, apparently, on Polish territory.
The number of Russian drones that traversed into Poland and penetrated deeply into its territory may be greater than the previously announced figure. According to updated data, around two dozen of Russian drones may have entered Polish airspace during the night. We are verifying this.
Our air defense forces destroyed more than 380 Russian drones of various types. At least 250 of them were “shaheds.” Precise information on the drone types will be determined after an analysis of the debris.
Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation with partners for reliable protection of the sky. So that we have not only information and intelligence data sharing, but also real joint actions that guarantee security of the neighbors. Russia must feel that Europeans know how to defend themselves.
#UnitedAir reports: Due to a technology issue, we are holding United mainline flights at their departure airports. We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue.
UNITED AIRLINES HAVING TECHNICAL MELTDOWN: It appears United is dealing with a serious technical glitch that is causing cancellations and delays. At the moment, no United flights are departing from O’Hare and United flights originating elsewhere are being held back. #unitedair .
ICE ARRESTS BRUTAL CHILD RAPIST:
Mohammed Sesay, a criminal illegal alien from Sierra Leone, was arrested by @ICEgov. According to court documents, Sesay repeatedly raped an 11-year-old girl over a five-month period in 2014, threatening to kill her if she told anyone.
This MONSTER forced the victim into a bathroom and sexually assaulted her at least FIFTEEN TIMES.
President Trump and @Sec_Noem will continue to remove the WORST OF THE WORST from American communities.
Can confirm the New York Times report today that Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, the director of the Joint Staff, had a promotion to four-star general seemingly secured and then pulled back by Secretary Hegseth.
Sims seen in Pentagon by most as nonpartisan, straightforward and bright.
