When you hear the #ToryShambles lie again. When they break the law, again. When they break a treaty that they signed and passed into law just weeks ago. When contracts are given to #ToryDonors . When money supposed to be to help depressed areas goes to wealthy #Tory ones.

Aughinish Alumina blames ‘clerical error’ for incorrect statistics on exports to Russia.

It says correct figure is 51% rather than 83% as reported to the CSO.

Government said earlier this week it was 45%.

[414 Magyar's Birds @414magyarbirds]

⚡A major milestone for the USF Grouping: 100,000 confirmed enemy casualties in 358 days.

Commander Magyar and USF Birds report: one hundred thousand worms in a year. The equivalent of the forces assigned to the “Kyiv in Three Days” operation has now been destroyed three times over.

Today, June 4, 2026, 358 days after the creation of the @usf_army Grouping (June 11, 2025), the Birds crossed the milestone of 100,000 enemy personnel confirmed as KIA and WIA. All losses are verified in the Delta battlefield awareness system, where records and evidence are stored for every mission. Detailed one-year statistics are available here:
https://t.co/VaQT3Xkg5b

February 2022. Roughly 35,000 “elite” airborne troops, special forces operators, marines, and assorted tough guys were thrown through Belarus and by air to seize “Kyiv in three days.”

*The total invasion force at the start of the full-scale war numbered approximately 180,000 worms across all four axes of advance (Kyiv, Siversk–Slobozhanskyi, Donetsk–Luhansk, and the southern Tavria axis). Today, that number exceeds 700,000.

**The USF Grouping was created on June 11, 2025, by the first order signed by the newly appointed Commander of the USF, initially bringing together 12 units.

Since then:

350,000 verified unique enemy targets destroyed or damaged, 1.65 million combat missions conducted
(approximately 5,000 sorties per day)

Among the more sensitive targets:
248 air defense systems and radars
817 tanks
1,379 APCs, IFVs, and armored vehicles
4,890 artillery pieces
342 self-propelled artillery systems
281 MLRS systems
26,430 logistics vehicles
29,903 reconnaissance wings
7,633 Shaheds and Gerberas
13 aircraft and helicopters
10,848 UAV pilot launch sites
🌶️ 100,082 worms
(☠️ 53,477 KIA, 🩸 46,605 WIA)

And plenty of other junk. Full details are available on the PIDRAKHUIKA scoreboard.

A year flew by in no time.

The Grouping’s target for the next year:
200,000 worms / 650,000 targets.

Gentlemen, congratulations and thank you for an outstanding result. Every third worm and every third enemy target has been worked by the USF.

“Kyiv in Three Days” will never happen again.

BREAKING: Veteran journalist Jim Acosta is vindicated in the worst way possible as Trump’s latest outburst proves he IS a danger to democracy and a free press!

Back in Trump’s first term, the former CNN anchor was among the first journalists to sound the alarm that Trump’s antipathy towards journalists presented a serious threat to democracy, a free press, and basic truth.

Naturally, the MAGA world lost its collective mind, accusing Acosta of grandstanding, making it all about himself, and being a rude, overdramatic showboat.

But Trump just spent years proving Acosta right on a daily basis, and it's gotten demonstrably worse during his second term, culminating in yesterday’s angry, sexist attack on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins before she’d even asked her a question.

Acosta posted the receipts last night, resurfacing the infamous 2018 press conference clip where Trump personally berated him and insulted him personally on live television:

“CNN should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN… You are the enemy of the people.”

Acosta’s question that day was about the Russia investigation, one that Trump clearly didn’t want to entertain. He told him to sit down, and launched into his first major “enemy of the people” rant against the press.

“When I called out Trump years ago for being a danger to democracy, a free press, and truth itself, I was accused of making myself the story and showboating,” Acosta wrote today. “How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!”

Like a modern day Cassandra, he was right then, and he’s even more right now, and he should be heard.
Trump never stopped attacking the free press, and has only intensified his derision for journalism, and disrespect for the truth, and accountability.

The pattern of screaming “fake news” whenever he hears something he doesn’t like and launching ad hominem attacks on reporters as professionals and human beings has been part of the playbook since day one, and will continue to be so if we let it.

History has proven Jim Acosta correct. If the United States no longer has a free press, it’s not the same country. That must not happen.

If you agree, like and share this post.

Nigel Farage didn't speak up in parliament for almost 10 WEEKS – but when he finally did, he used the death of Henry Nowak to stir division – DESPITE his family specifically calling on
people NOT to.

After successfully inciting riots across the country, Farage is spotted relaxing in a posh members' club.

That isn't a patriot; that's a traitor.

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

In February, Rep. Ro Khanna stood on the House floor and read six names the DOJ had redacted from the Epstein files.

"There were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason."

He read them into the record. Nobody has been charged.

Trump promised not to “touch” Medicaid.

Now he is cutting it by $1 trillion and taking health care away from patients with cancer, AIDS and other life-threatening diseases to pay for tax breaks to the top 1% and his wealthy campaign contributors.

Unimaginable cruelty.

There are more than 30 cultural heritage sites in the development zone. And this is another war crime of Russia in occupied Crimea.

Ex-Prince Andrew & his family had 12 properties, owned by the Crown Estate or the Royal Household, acc to the National Audit Office

3 of those properties he sub-let - the report doesn’t say how much he got in rent, but Palace sources suggest he rented them to staff or retired staff & the amount was only enough to cover running costs.

Whatever the amount, it went to directly to Andrew rather than the Crown Estate, which would pay its profits back to the Treasury

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russia is intensifying chemical attacks on Ukrainian positions this summer.

Hot weather and dry conditions can increase the effectiveness and dispersion of chemical agents, which may partly contribute to their increased use.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, more than 13,500 cases of toxic chemical agents being used against Ukrainian troops have been recorded.

In May 2025 alone, there were 894 incidents.

russians drop K-51 and RG-Vo gas grenades, as well as CS/CN-filled containers, from drones to force Ukrainian soldiers out of cover.

This is a clear violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention — yet the world remains largely silent.

russia doesn’t just use banned weapons. It uses them because it believes it can get away with it.

Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:

-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?

-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?

In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.

Russia is lying to the entire world when it claims not to attack civilian targets.
Russia attacks almost nothing but civilian targets.

Four people were killed in a Russian attack on an industrial facility in the Brovary district (Kyiv region); this was announced by the head of the regional administration, Kalashnyk.

Local channels report that the attack may have targeted the "Yahotynske for Children" (Yahotynske dlya ditey) factory.

7 people injured in attack on dairy plant in Kyiv region, two more people may still be trapped under rubble, — OVA.

⚡️ Russia’s new terrorist tactic

Submunitions from Iskander missiles are increasingly detonating not immediately, but 20–30 minutes after impact.

The apparent goal is to kill rescuers, medics, and civilians who return to the strike site or take part in evacuation efforts.

It seems the occupiers have reached a new level of cruelty.

Do not approach suspicious objects after missile strikes.

🇦🇱 Why are Albanians protesting Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump?

For Jared Kushner, this is a case of deja vu in the #Balkans

His plan to build a Trump International Hotel in #Belgrade faced fierce local opposition.

The arrest of a government minister for abuse of office in connection with the project eventually prompted Kushner to withdraw earlier this year.

Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.
