In memory of Jung Hoon KIM, a South Korean volunteer who lost his life for defending Ukraine against Russian invaders. In his 50's, he volunteered to fight for Ukraine. Respect, honour, glory and gratitude to his sacrifice. RIP.

To every MAGA/Republican once again screaming “voter fraud” & “stolen election,” this time about California - PROVE IT. Don’t just bitch about it, prove it. And the beauty of our electoral process is that you have the perfect vehicle through which to prove it - the courts.
So either put your money where your mouth is, or put a sock in it. Thanks
“My fifth birthday in a row at war. Quite unexpected.”
Mykhailo put his own spin on a popular trend on his birthday — in a way that only a soldier on the frontline can🔥
A birthday to remember indeed.
Hopefully, all of Ukraine’s defenders can spend them home soon enough.
I met with President of Finland @alexstubb and Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore. I informed them about contacts at the leaders’ level in the E3–Ukraine format as well as our contacts with the American side.
Right now, all our partners note that Ukraine’s positions on the frontline are significantly stronger, and therefore the approaches in diplomacy, which we are now working to reinvigorate, must be based precisely on this. Unfortunately, Russia is trying to compensate for its enormous losses on the battlefield with strikes on our cities and communities, on civilian infrastructure. That is why air defense missiles are our top priority. And we discussed how to secure additional supplies for Ukraine right now, as well as efforts to develop a European anti-ballistic missile system.
I am grateful to Alex and Jonas, and to the people of Finland and Norway, for their steadfast assistance and support. We appreciate that our agreements are being implemented.
8 June 1939 | A French Jewish girl, Simone Gotlib, was born in Paris.
She arrived at #Auschwitz on 18 August 1942 in a transport of 997 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among 897 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
Rep. Madeleine Dean: "What is true is that the president has lied about being on Epstein's plane, and the unredacted files prove that. There's a lot in here. It's all covered up."
Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."
I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.
On this day in 1921, a German Jewish woman was born. Living in Czechoslovakia, on the 30 Jan 1942 she was deported to the Theresienstadt Ghetto and on the 8 Sep 1942 to Malý Trostinec (a Nazi German extermination site) where she perished. Her name was Lieselotte Willdorf
Taxing 50% of AI companies' stock to ensure that AI benefits humanity isn't radical, but let me tell you what is:
Since Trump was elected, the 7 richest men in America, all Big Tech oligarchs, became $1.15 trillion richer while 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
That's radical.
Between January and May this year, our warriors struck 15 Russian oil refineries. Russia has already imposed bans on exports of aviation fuel and gasoline, and is also considering a ban on diesel exports. As of May, nearly 40% of Russia’s primary oil refining capacity is offline.
BREAKING: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear just DESTROYED Trump's entire economic performance in only 60 seconds — and he's 100% right.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear just did an interview where he delivered the most brutally efficient takedown of Trump's economic record you'll hear from any Democrat in office right now — and he did it simply by taking Trump at his word.
"The president finally said something that was true," Beshear said. "He said he does not care about the financial situation of the American people. And you know what? The way he governs shows it."’
That's the whole ballgame right there.
"The Trump economy is a failure," Beshear said flatly. And he then proved it point by point.
Trump's tariffs? "Americans have paid 90% of them. It's been a tax by the president that has made everything cost more." Not China. Not foreign manufacturers. You — every time you buy groceries, clothes, or appliances.
Then there's the war with Iran — a conflict Beshear notes that Trump "alone chose to go into" — which "has skyrocketed the price of not just gasoline, but diesel, making everything more expensive. Every good we ship across the country now costs more." That's not abstract economic theory. That's every truck on every highway carrying every product to every store in America.
"Going to see your family if you got to take a plane trip costs a lot more," Beshear continued. And when Americans desperately need relief on housing costs, Trump won't lift a finger — because, as Beshear points out, Trump says "we're not working hard enough."
And when parents worry about affording basic goods for their kids? Trump's answer, per Beshear, is that "our kids have too many toys."
This is the man Republicans told us was a business genius. The dealmaker. The guy who promised to make everything cheaper on day one.
Beshear's closing line says it all: "At least he said something true. He doesn't care about the American people."
Democrats should be saying exactly this, in exactly these terms, every single day between now and November.
Please like and share hare this everywhere to spread Gov. Beshear's insight.
