Kremlin media ignore Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses

New attacks on the marketplace’s logistics centers in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk on the night of July 22 were completely ignored by the main federal channels.

Instead, the channels told viewers about Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine, which, as the hosts repeat almost daily, were carried out in response to the “Kyiv regime’s terrorist attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure.”

Wildberries sellers are suffering huge losses and risk bankruptcy. Analysts at Data Insight estimate their losses from the attacks on the Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk warehouses at $1.5 billion, while the direct damage is estimated at $2.55 billion.

The Pentagon wants Congress to approve a whopping $1.5 trillion budget next year.

On top of that, they want you to pay $37.5 billion for Trump's war in Iran, which is tragically turning into another forever war.

But they can’t help you afford health care.

This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet.

Trump’s own fraud investigator just admitted there’s no fraud. So there’s no excuse left for killing mail-in voting—except the real one: he can’t win a fair count.

Judge Lett is also allowing the BBC to subpoena dozens of members of Trump’s inner circle, according to Bloomberg News, in an effort to find evidence of the president’s thoughts and intentions on January 6.

Those subpoenas will target Trump family members and key advisers, including Donald Trump Jr, Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.

"Blanche would have us believe that he didn’t order Maxwell’s transfer; that he didn’t sign off on it; that he wasn’t even consulted about it; that he knew nothing about it.

Perhaps telling the truth isn’t a necessary qualification for attorney general."

Block Blanche because he negotiated self-dealing IRS gift for Trump, fired court appointed US attorneys, bragged about cleaning house of 200 DOJ employees who worked on cases involving Trump & J6, botched the Epstein case, oversaw cases targeting Trump’s perceived enemies, welcomes Trump’s control.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

WTF!

Trump just claimed that the dead soldiers ALL said "We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon."

This man is insane. Did he speak to them after they died? How the hell does he know what they said or would be thinking?

🚨BLOCKED: As Hegseth begs Congress for Trump’s $1.4 trillion defense budget, Sen. Duckworth says she stopped its movement in the Senate.

“I couldn’t in good conscience vote for a bill authorizing Trump’s unjustified war in Iran…”

“We should be investing in the United States.”

Wab Kinew on Donald Trump's remarks about Canadian wildfires: "Anybody who's making comments like that is not showing basic human decency. And I would remind our American friends that Manitoba had wildfire fighters in your country this wildfire season helping to put out American wildfires. And we'll continue to do that no matter what the Trump administration says because that's what decent people do."

Rep. @AOC: Ask Peter Thiel, ask Elon Musk, ask Mark Zuckerberg, if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard. I was just in Memphis. All within one block, an xAI greywater treatment plant, methane turbines, coal ash, wastewater facilities. Everyone in that area is getting poisoned. This conversation is not just about technology, it's about people's ability to live without getting cancer.

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153K government salary.

Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!”

Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Colorado showed class … recognizing a brave Canadian who died fighting a Colorado fire.

Trump has no such qualities.

George Conway: "We have a president who basically can't think. He can't think. He is a man who doesn't think. He acts on impulse. He is not capable of strategic thought. He has no idea what he is doing. He'll change his mind three times a day. He says things that make no sense. His brain is scrambled."

Last night, President Trump was back to tweeting about me. This time it wasn't about his efforts to criminally indict me, but my work to stop his Administration from curbing our right to vote by mail.

He is obsessed with pushing misinformation about America's elections because he fears he's going to lose in November. It's all part of a well-worn authoritarian playbook and the intimidation is the point.

But in our 250th year, I can't think of anything more important than standing up for our democracy and our right to vote.
