[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

🚨 The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Kyiv is burning. Four killed in Kyiv, six in Dnipro. Dozens injured. Homes, offices, and businesses hit.

How is Russia still able to terrorize European capital night after night while Ukraine is still asking for more air defense?

I have no words.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

💔 Dnipro. This 3-year-old boy was just asleep in his own bed.

We don’t hate russia enough.

[Hasan alrabay @HasanEssam29636]

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death.

Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

The UK government has barred Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur from entering the country over their criticism of Israel.

Meanwhile, war criminal Isaac Herzog, whose statements were cited in the ICJ genocide case against Israel, was welcomed at Downing Street with open arms.

I’ve written to Shabana Mahmood demanding these bans be reversed immediately:

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Russians have erased entire Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russia brings is death and destruction, which they call “liberation”.

We must help Ukraine survive this genocide and push this evil back into Mordor. Stand with Ukraine!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care.

In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary.

The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack.

In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack.

And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts.

Glory to Ukraine!

Today's Phantastic Phind.

With this you can answer those incessant questions:

"Mummy, who's Urizen?"
"What's a Zoa?"
"Do I have a Nobodaddy?"

It needs a bit of TLC,
which can be done with my Book Repair Kit
(scissors & binding tape).

Been wanting a copy of this for years. 🥸

Netanyahu: “We are at war with Hezbollah. In recent weeks alone are heroic fighters have eliminated more than 600 terrorists. But we are not taking our foot off the gas on the contrary, in the contrary, I said step on the gas even more.”

In addition to the 600 terorrists you’ve killed 3,100 Lebanese civilians, including more than 200 children and displaced 1.2M people.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel is forcing some of Lebanon’s biggest cities to empty.

Entire cities.

First Nabatieh. Now Tyre.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians forced to flee so Israel can drop bombs on their homes, neighborhoods, and villages — and flatten them.

And the world watches in silence.

In my gladrags, ready for the screening of

I was staying here over the weekend, in the glorious country pile of my friends Ginny & Paul,
in the deeps of Hertfordshire. #filmfestival

Hantavirus = 3 deaths, all Westerners

Media goes nuts

Ebola : 85 deaths and rising RAPIDLY, all people in Central Africa

Media : Meh

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Proud to join 250,000 people on the streets of London today to commemorate the Nakba and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

For 78 years Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, occupation, apartheid and genocidal violence - but the struggle for liberation continues.

From London to Gaza, we say: from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russian human safari continues in Kherson.

Today, russians once again deliberately struck a civilian vehicle with a drone.

Four people are critically injured.

This is not warfare. This is deliberate terror against civilians — ignored by the world.

[Michael Daviot @MDaviot]

Indulgence in the name of research.
Some of #POE's best journalism in one lovely vintage volume.
His piece on Cryptography & 150 pp of Marginalia,
which contain much of his most fascinating writing.
And much else.

Great big bag of nothing.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Every American should be proud of President Trump’s historic and consequential trip to China. Glad we finally have a leader who fights for American interests across the globe.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

💔 Kherson. A 68-year-old woman was just walking down the street…

We don’t hate russia enough.
