Trump, you lost the 2020 election. If the election was rigged, it was rigged by your administration as your administration was in charge leading up to, during and after the election. There was no foreign interference. There was no fraud. The election was not stolen. You lost old man. I would say deal with it, but that would require a level of emotional maturity you obviously lack.

Epstein survivor on Todd Blanche “Blanche spent 9 hours meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. He did not even spend 9 minutes meeting with the survivors.”

Horrifying.

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s voter fraud speech is BACKFIRING as Americans flood social media with the recording of Trump demanding Georgia “find 11,780 votes” after he lost the 2020 election.

Trump is the last person on Earth who should be talking about election fraud.

@RonFilipkowski Mullin is just trying to intimidate people by illegally threatening them. Unbelievable these people have positions of power over our right to vote.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

The constitution provides that states run elections. The federal govt does not. There is no legal authority for Mullin to take over elections, issue mandates & rules, or threaten elections officials with prison for failure to comply with unlawful orders. https://t.co/DYLOt47jAS

Last night, russia killed Olena Arkhipova in Odesa.

She was a mother of three, a volunteer, and a first aid instructor with the Ukrainian Red Cross.

She was running with her children to a shelter when a russian missile struck.

Her children survived.

Olena did not.

She taught first aid to emergency responders, police officers, adults, and children. She was supposed to begin a new course for people with disabilities today.

Rest in peace, Olena.

russia killed her.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

In Odesa, two people were killed as a result of Russia’s overnight missile strike on a residential building. Five more people were injured, including three children. Everyone affected is receiving the necessary medical care. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Fifteen guided aerial bombs were used against the Sumy region. One person was injured in Sumy, and residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, including a library, were damaged.

Our other regions also came under attack. In the Zaporizhzhia region, two people were killed and five more were injured in an air strike. In the Kharkiv region, three people were injured as a result of shelling. One person was injured in the Chernihiv region. The Kherson, Donetsk, and Dnipro regions also came under attack. In total, the enemy launched more than 130 attack drones and eight missiles against Ukraine overnight.

It is important that every state institution and everyone involved in negotiations with partners on supporting Ukraine’s defense and resilience act with maximum speed and effectiveness. The implementation of everything agreed at the leaders’ level must be accelerated. Every defense package today is not just a number, but specific equipment that protects lives here in Ukraine every day. I thank everyone who works this way, as well as all our partners who are helping Ukraine.

GLP-1 receptor agonists decreases alcohol and substance use hospitalizations during treatment. The effect slowly disappears after stopping GLP1. This matches the results with obesity, there is (mostly) no magic bullet in psychopharmacology, for most individual you need to continue treatment if you want the effect to persist. It would be great to get a larger study to be able to stratify the post-discontinuation results based on the length of GLP1 exposure and the severity of AUD/SUD. https://t.co/ukhpaWUWon

The court has spoken: Trump's attempt to get political revenge by shutting down the Hudson Tunnel project wasn't just illegal, but "flagrantly" unlawful.

This ruling is good news for the thousands of workers building the project and the hundreds of thousands of commuters who will depend on it - but these unlawful antics never should have happened in the first place.

Horror! The moment a Russian drone struck a swimming pool in Zaporizhzhia while swimmers were inside.

Russia: We only attack military targets.
No, you don't. You filthy terrorists attack exclusively civilian targets and have already committed over 230,000 war crimes.
Filthy scum.

drops a NUKE on Donald Trump:

“It really is ironic…on the eve of the 250th anniversary of our country, a man sits in the WH who is everything that the founders feared … An uncontrollable, narcissistic, authoritarian president who acts like a king.

Overnight Russian attack on Kyiv update: The death toll has risen to 18‼️ Another 85 people have been injured, including 2 children.

Bastards. Fucking terrorists.

I go to bed tonight knowing, there was at least one man, one American hero, who showed us the courage, that this bullshit needs to stop.

Caolan is a real fucking reporter. Missiles exploding behind him, and he keeps filming, while the entire Western media hides, closes its eyes, and pretends the war in Ukraine isn’t even happening.

Fucking thank you, @CaolanReports, for doing what the world won’t.

It is way past time that the President and Congress agree to send necessary military aid to Ukraine and pass tough sanctions on Russia. The House HAS ACTED. Ignoring Russian war crimes will look bad in the history books.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I wish Canada, Prime Minister @MarkJCarney, and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day. Ukraine joins you in celebrating this day. We appreciate Canada’s leadership in helping us protect the lives of our people across many domains: defense assistance, pioneering work on sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and financial sector, diplomatic advocacy, and much more. We are grateful that we can count on your continued support in all these areas. Thank you, Canada!

Trump's "net worth is off the charts, bigger than what it was prior to this presidency." @maggieNYT says we're just scratching the surface when it comes to how Trump has used the presidency to inflate his wealth.

If this doesn’t show American bravery, nothing will. Rise up Americans. Our country is important. Major Jason Watson tells you it is.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.
