$1.8 BILLION. That’s what @JECDems estimates Trump’s vanity projects will cost.

That same money could cover a month of electric bills for 12M people, a year of medical expenses for 88,000 veterans, or 600M school lunches. 

Trump's ego is expensive.

🚨 BREAKING:

One hour after announcing his resignation, U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Randy George reportedly said:

"Donald Trump should be hospitalized immediately; I doubt his mental fitness. He is leading the U.S. military toward disaster."

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

BREAKING🚨 ABC refused to let eight Epstein survivors speak on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Rosie O'Donnell gathered them and filmed it herself — and the women told her no famous person had ever called to stand beside them. Now she says she will tell all eight of their stories, one by one.

O'Donnell guest-hosted four episodes in August and pitched what she called "the Epstein reveal" for her final night.

"They said that they were certain that could not happen," she said on the Jann Arden Podcast. "So I said, 'Well, then I'm going to do it myself.'"

She called Survivor Sisters, an advocacy group formed by Epstein survivors, and asked how many women could get there in three days. Eight came. They filmed for about two hours.

She first posted a short video from the shoot. Andrea Sterling, Sharlene Rochard, Lara Blume McGee, Jena-lisa Jones, Wendy Pesante, Lisa Phillips, Marina Lacerda and Chauntae Davies stood together in white, fists raised, singing Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman." It ended with childhood photos of the women. Jimmy Kimmel later shared it on his own Instagram Story.

Now O'Donnell says each woman will get her own up-close segment telling her story. The eight segments could become a full documentary, a YouTube project or something they release themselves on social media.

O'Donnell said she made the video after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer, said he did "not know whether there are men out there that abused these women." That same day, the Justice Department released more than 3 million additional pages from its Epstein files.

"You are all heroes, and you're going to change how the world deals with child sex abuse," O'Donnell told the women.

Afterward, she said, they told her no famous person had ever called to stand beside them.

Europe needs to accelerate.

For that, the basics need to be in order first. Cheap electricity supply, sovereign supply chains, and less bureaucracy hindering our builders.

We propose:
1. Declare energy crisis, prioritise fast buildout of renewables, energy storage, and net upgrades, and remove red tape making it take years.
2. Messmer plan 2.0. France build its nuclear grid via a standardised design allowing them to scale it in record-speed. We now need a European variant of that plan, one European design, mass-production, build across Europe.
3. Fast permitting for European mines, partnerships with Canada, Australia, Greenland and other stable partners.
4. Cut Europe's red tape by destroying the fragmentation hindering our innovators, Europe must have standardised, clear rules across the continent, and EU-inc must be implemented in its most ambitious variant.
5. Finish the capital markets union to allow easy investments across the union.

Once we have the basics ready, Europe will be able to innovate and win.

The Fragmentarians will lose.

We will unite Europe, and make Europe thrive for centuries to come! 🇪🇺

My take on school meals: Make them UNIVERSAL so no child goes to school hungry.

It has worked in Minnesota. Now it’s time for us to provide free meals to all students nationwide.

[Defense of Ukraine @DefenceU]

🇺🇦🤝🇪🇺 Thank you, Europe, for standing firm.

The agreement on €6.6 billion under the European Peace Facility turns European solidarity into concrete defence capabilities for Ukraine.

€900 million will support EUMAM Ukraine, €1 billion will finance new joint procurement of military equipment, and €4.7 billion will reimburse Member States for previous military assistance.

We welcome the readiness of Member States to channel these reimbursements into further support for Ukraine. This is how every decision can generate the next round of military assistance.

Russia is trying to intimidate Europe into stepping back. Europe is doing the opposite: strengthening its defence, supporting Ukraine and investing in our shared security.

Grateful to @kajakallas and EU Member States for turning political resolve into military capability.

Sen. @PattyMurray: Do you believe an IUD is a form of abortion?

Trump's FDA Commissioner nominee: If I'm confirmed, I'll be briefed on that

Murray: I don't think you answered the question. It is deeply alarming that the prospective FDA commissioner doesn't know that birth control is not an abortion.

Esto es una ayuda muy significativa.

Noruega 🇳🇴 planea proporcionar a Ucrania 🇺🇦 alrededor de 9 mil millones de dólares para 2027, con la mayor parte del financiamiento destinado a asistencia militar directa.

La sociedad noruega 🇳🇴 sigue estando firmemente del lado de Ucrania 🇺🇦.

[Amy McGrath @AmyMcGrathKY]

Part of the problem is that this SecDef can’t be trusted to tell the American people the truth about this war.

The Pentagon hasn’t held a press briefing on it since May. Its casualty numbers have repeatedly changed. We still don’t have a full accounting of the damage to our bases or the cost of this war.

And after all that, we still don’t have a strategy. https://t.co/KTIqvizE4O

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

In Kyiv, cars are burning and bodies of people lie in the streets after Russia struck our capital in broad daylight on a Saturday, clearly aiming to maximize civilian casualties‼️

​Mayor Klitschko reports at least 3 killed and 7 injured.

​These attacks cannot be normalized. This is state terrorism in the heart of Europe.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts.

If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare.

That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Donald Trump promised to make things cheaper.

Instead, he tariffed everything, started a new war, and pocketed about $2 billion for himself in the process.

He's a liar and a fraud. It really is that simple.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

This is a sweeping national embarrassment.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Let me be clear: AI companies regulating themselves is a nonstarter.

Our government has to step in, investigate independently, and set guardrails that prioritize the safety of the American people over corporate profits.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

The human toll of this war is more than any of us could've imagined. Eight servicemembers across the USS Lincoln Strike Force attempted to take their own lives—and we wouldn't have known unless we pushed for answers.

It's long past time for a public hearing on Trump's war.

New contracts for Canadian suppliers. Good jobs for Canadian workers. Paycheques staying in Canadian communities.

Europe faces waves of airspace violations and sabotage, but also a relentless stream of Russian disinformation.

That is why the EU today sanctioned Xenia Fedorova.

We're defending our information space against fabricated lies and deliberate manipulation. This is deterrence, not censorship.

The EU will continue to counter Russia's destabilising activities.
