*..and the US. People seem willing to recognize that Musk and MAGA are openly supporting fascist and pro-Russian candidates and movements in Europe, somehow without recognizing they’re doing the same in the United States.

Russia is killing Ukrainian mothers as they try to protect their children.

Olena was killed running with her children to shelter during Russia’s missile attack on Odesa. Red Cross volunteer and first aid instructor, she was a single mother of three 💔

Yesterday I met Yura, a 12-year-old 🇺🇦 boy who lost his father on the front lines. He's absolutely obsessed with drones and often comes to the testing field to meet all the pilots testing new drones and rockets.

Thankfully, he and his friend were there when I crashed. The drone lost radio connection, and without these kids I’d never have found it. Their reward? 1,000 hryvnias and a "WE DON'T MAKE DRONES" FRONT LINE KIT chevron — which I think is fair after they saved us 33,000!

I really want to get Yura a laptop and drone controller so he can learn to fly drones on a simulator. You never know - this kid could one day become a future pilot too 🫡

When I asked if there was anything more he wanted than to learn to fly drones, he replied, “To have my dad back.” 😪

I show you Ukraine, its treasures and spirit.

Just look at Lviv in the evening.

I capture these moments for you and for those who will come after us.

My gratitude to those who defend life.

Shapiro: I was Pennsylvania AG in 2020 when Trump's enablers took me to court 43 times to try and throw out votes. Every single time they went to court, they lost. They went 0-43, and I went 43-0, because they could never produce the evidence to back up the president's BS.

“they did not know what a toilet looks inside a house, yet they decided to invade us? whom they are liberating us from? they lack civilization.” Vira from a Zaporizhzhia suburb in my home region has better understanding of great russian culture than all its foreign fans combined.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Rep. Deborah Ross says Todd Blanche and the DOJ quietly changed Bureau of Prisons policy AFTER Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer because it violated the original rules.

“He was trying to COVER IT UP.”

This should disqualify Blanche from ever becoming Attorney General.

🕯️ Footage impossible to forget.

Hearses carrying the first MH17 victims back to Dutch soil after Russian forces shot down the plane.

I have a serious question for you, when organisations such as @U24_gov_ua exist why would you ever donate to the Red Cross?

Don't be a fool, donate to real charities that transparently deliver to the front, donate today: https://t.co/henLEwSrYl

The US is about to start funding European MAGA aligned "think tanks" to teach Europeans what freedom is...

The US ranks 64th out of 180 countries in freedom of the press (dropping from 57 last year).

Trump promoted companies on Truth Social days after buying their stocks https://t.co/yw59jGZf0d

[Rasmus Jarlov @RasmusJarlov]

How on earth are Americans not rioting over this?

The news here is real. It is not a fake news story.

Trump openly admits that his announcements on Truth Social about wars, tariffs, etc., manipulate the stock market. And now he's selling the ability to engage in insider trading to banks so that he and his friends can get even richer, while the average person is getting f***** over in the stock market by these super-rich a******, because they will be told when stock prices will go up and down and the average man will not.

It is corruption on a scale never seen before. Riches worth billions, if not trillions, of dollars are being stolen this way.

No Europeans would ever accept this from anyone in power. Not corruption on this astronomical scale.

But Americans are just sitting there, watching it happen without doing anything about it.

You need to wake up over there.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Corruption. Out in the open

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

BREAKING MS NOW:

The Trump White House hosted about two dozen election denial activists this week ahead of Trump's address where he's expected to spread election lies.

The session was convened by conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell — who advised Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 result. https://t.co/tVENkNL7Li

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

The nonstop corruption isn’t great but at least Trump brought down inflation, signed a landmark housing law, and stayed out of wars in the Middle East

[Amanda Carpenter @amandacarpenter]

Donald Trump is going to spread a ton of lies tonight about the elections.

BUT WHY. He's not on the ballot. Why is he SO desperate to keep his majority in the midterms?

Because he is running the biggest presidential grift in history and wants to keep his MAGA protectors in Congress to shield him from any accountability.

Do not lose sight of his WHY.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Trump’s shocking “bombshells” about China are totally bogus.

The fact is our intelligence agencies unanimously agreed that China did not even try to change a single vote in the 2020 election. A single concurring opinion suggested China may have tried to sway voters’ opinions… but that’s been public knowledge since 2021.

SCOOP: Top Treausry tax official and acting IRS chief counsel Ken Kies was ousted from his job after he warned that the White House was at risk of violating a federal law prohibiting senior officials’ involvement in IRS audits.

Read JD Vance, writing in the Atlantic, from 2016. Ask yourself: was he right?
