Bill on tougher Russia sanctions, #Ukraine aid, passes House

But the Administration appears to prefer a Senate bill requiring secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, based on comments from Secretary Rubio.

The problem for Tehran and Moscow is that China's appetite for sanctioned barrels is cooling just when both countries need buyers most.

Little apparent hope for a peace deal or for the Russian victory that President Vladimir Putin has framed as inevitable.

Massachusetts ‘vehicle-to-everything’ demonstration hints at EV batteries’ grid potential. Certain light-duty vehicles have the potential to earn around $3,000 per summer, and school buses $12,000, a state program manager told Utility Dive. https://t.co/jkcPy23Mcc

A Lion's Heart: The Ultimate Reunion Hug

[Gabriele Corno @Gabriele_Corno]

You sit quietly in the tall grass... and suddenly the ground moves toward you.
One powerful step, one massive embrace and strength turns into pure affection.
Sometimes love is bigger than you expect.

Kremlin insiders joke about transferring high level offensive and defensive missiles to Iran to target Americans. Evan as Trump has paused Russian sanctions.

Russian propagandists hint that Russia is helping Iran target American aircraft and is transferring air defense systems to it.

Let me remind you that the USA has already eased oil sanctions on Russia at least three times.

"neutral Switzerland is the leading European supplier of microelectronics that end up in Russian weapons, while another neutral European country, #Ireland, is the leading supplier of aluminum for Russia’s war machine."

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

Frankly speaking, neutrality is a morally bankrupt concept.

Having studied sanctions evasion and wartime supply chains, I’ve found some facts particularly striking: neutral Switzerland is the leading European supplier of microelectronics that end up in Russian weapons, while another neutral European country, Ireland, is the leading supplier of aluminum for Russia’s war machine.

So that’s what “neutrality” often means in practice.

Ukraine's defense production capacity holds an estimated $25 billion to $40 billion in potential output that sits idle due to a lack of sufficient capital investment.

Trump said Zelenskyy had no cards 3 months before #Ukraine pulled out its Ace card. Now it's Europe and the US who need a Ukranian backstop.

Ossoff: "This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand. That our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional and a beacon to the world."
