🚀 The Russians struck the warehouses of the "ATB" grocery supermarket chain and the private postal company "Nova Poshta" in the city of Dnipro, simultaneously damaging a kindergarten and residential buildings, and wounding people.

📦 Explain to me, what is the point of destroying food, products, and Ukrainians' orders from online stores? It seems to me that this is Russia's despair. They realized that they will succeed in nothing by military means, so they destroy everything they can. In fact, a nuclear strike is not far off from here, because with such attacks, Russia has admitted that it has lost the war but cannot exit it...

The cruelest trick of a failing empire is to turn the war against the infrastructure of daily life, hoping that hunger and cold will accomplish what its soldiers could not.  As Niccolò Machiavelli warned, an adversary who realizes they cannot win, yet possesses the means for total destruction, becomes entirely unpredictable. When a regime ties its domestic survival to an unachievable foreign conquest, admitting defeat is synonymous with regime collapse. Therefore, the systematic destruction of civilian life becomes a substitute for victory—a grim signal that if the empire cannot possess the land, it will leave behind nothing but ashes.  This methodology heavily mirrors the German Baedeker Blitz of 1942, where the Luftwaffe intentionally targeted non-military, culturally significant, and commercial towns in Britain rather than industrial centers. Having lost the Battle of Britain and facing a prolonged war of attrition, the Nazi regime sought to punish the British population directly to shatter their morale. Just as in modern Ukraine, the strategy failed catastrophicaly. Instead of breaking the public will, the destruction of civilian spaces erased any remaining desire for compromise, hardening national resolve into an absolute commitment to the total destruction of the invading regime.

Washington Post: Elias Irizarry, a convicted Jan. 6 rioter, has been hired by the Trump administration to work in a Pentagon office that oversees highly classified military operations, according to four people familiar with the matter.

The hire has raised alarm among staff, who question how someone convicted of taking part in the assault on American democracy could be trusted with such a sensitive role in the U.S. government.

The Trump administration’s willingness to pursue a business-as-usual approach with Moscow, despite Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the extensive allegations of war crimes under investigation by international bodies, offers a clear indication of the direction the White House continues to move.

As St. Petersburg comes under drone attack ahead of SPIEF, the optics of a senior Trump-linked representative attending Russia’s flagship economic forum could hardly be more striking.

Well done to Max Wilkinson from the Lib Dems (and others) in Parliament today calling out Farage for ignoring the wishes of the family of Henry and using their tragedy to stoke hate and division. Hear also the shouts of 'rubbish' from the Reform benches; shame on them. #ReformUK

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Russians have erased entire Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russia brings is death and destruction, which they call “liberation”.

We must help Ukraine survive this genocide and push this evil back into Mordor. Stand with Ukraine!

A humiliating day for Putin, as things at the St Petersburg Economic Forum start off with a bang.

Despite Putin flying in all the American influencers, Ukraine just blew things up.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Ignoring new laws that give out harsh prison terms for posting evidence of Ukraine's strikes on energy infrastructure, St Petersburg residents just can't get enough.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

🚨BOOM: Sen. Cory Booker just masterfully backed Marco Rubio into a CORNER:

Booker got Marco Rubio to admit that Trump’s war has ENRICHED Iran by nearly $50 BILLION due to his dumb decisions.

Then he torched Rubio for begging Iran for a deal that’s WORSE than the Obama deal Trump ripped up!

This exchange is BRUTAL. 🔥

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

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. How did things turn out? Trump is all of those things. Tonight, the free press is very much in danger in America. Wake up!

Nigel Farage asked people to respond with "pure cold rage” today.

Here you go, Nigel.

Looks a lot like incitement.

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period

IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement?

BLANCHE: The Constitution

IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

The Freedom 250 concert got canceled. UFC fighters are backing out. His name will be removed from The Kennedy Center. The $1.776 billion slush fund is dead. Watching Trump’s vanity projects crash and burn has been giving me life.
F**ck that loser.
