It’s happened again:

A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.

ICE decides not to deport.

ICE drops migrant off far from home.

Migrant dies in the cold.

Manner of death: Homicide.

Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

I’m glad to see the Senate, once again, shut down Mike Lee’s insane ideas for our public lands. It’s time for the House to do the same.

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Plan was created through years of work, public comment, and Tribal consultation. We must uphold this collaborative effort to protect the Colorado Tribe’s irreplaceable cultural resources and history.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.

Alzheimers.

One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.

He's not interested.

He's a nasty piece of work.

In case you haven’t heard, a boy pretended to be a girl, entered the girls’ wresting tournament, and while wrestling put his fingers INSIDE a girl. A judge ruled that it’s all just a part of wrestling.

Will anyone EVER stand up for the girls????

It is the work of so many amazing Australian women to finally get “men are not women” on the front page of the newspaper, and absolutely unforgivable that it’s a fight we’ve had to have in the first place. But we’re not giving up until we have our rights back.

She waited twelve years for this.

In 2014, Liliia Karas lost her nephew to the war. Two years later — her brother.

From that moment, she had one plan: wait until her child turned at least 16. Then join.

"I was waiting until my child was at least 16 years old to come here. To defend my native land. To defend my family."

When she finally arrived at training, they offered her options. She had only one answer.

"I said — I am only a gunner. Only a gunner. That's it."

The 23rd Separate Mechanised Brigade took her at her word.

Liliia now operates the Browning heavy machine gun mounted on a MaxxPro armoured vehicle. When the signal comes, the crew moves to position and works. Her combat sister Nastia drives. Liliia is behind the gun.

"They told me right away: 'You're on the Browning.' I said: 'Super.'"

No hesitation. No negotiation. Twelve years of waiting — and then exactly the role she came for.

🇺🇦Ukraine's front line is held by people who chose to be there. Who counted the years. Who said goodbye to children old enough to understand why.

Liliia Karas. Gunner. 23rd Brigade.

SEN. KELLY: How many times have Vance and Rubio been to Ukraine? Zero. Has Trump been to Ukraine? No.

He invited Putin to United States, but he still failed to send anybody at high level in his government to visit Ukraine. Have Kushner or Witkoff been to Ukraine? They have not.

@NatalkaKyiv Well done, Alex! Show 'em what Ukrainians can do!

💙💛 Fellas, can I get some good wishes for a kid from Ukraine who just graduated high school in the US with honors?

I went to the high school graduation of one of my best friend’s sons this afternoon. I've known his mom for most of my life or to be precise, since I was seven and she was six. We were in the same class in Ukraine.

We used to hang out every time I went back to Ukraine. Her son Alex is four years older than my son, but they have always had the best time together.

After the full-scale invasion, I brought her and Alex to the US. It was in the summer of 2022.

Alex was very traumatized and flinched every time he heard an ambulance or a fire truck's sirens.

He started high school that fall. Four years later, he graduated with honors after taking all AP classes and getting a nearly perfect score on his SATs.

Now he’s going to my alma mater to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering!

Please leave him a nice message! I'm going to print them out for him because it was just his mom and me at his graduation and he needs to know that people everywhere support Ukrainians.

BREAKING: This Is One Of The Most Disturbing Details To Emerge From The Epstein Investigation.

After Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 child sex conviction, you might expect the pipeline of introductions to stop.

According to CNN, it continued.

The network reviewed records showing model scouts and agents allegedly sending Epstein photos of young women, discussing meetings, and helping facilitate introductions years after his conviction.

Then came the message that chills the blood.

A scout sends a photo.

Epstein replies:

"Too old."

This suggests the issue wasn't just Epstein.

It was the network of people who continued opening doors for him after everyone already knew what he had done.

Pure hell in Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk region.

russians dropped 12 KAB glide bombs on a market. A fucking market.

A Saturday morning — people just coming out to sell what they have.

Just a regular, everyday market… gone in an instant.

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

GUARDIAN: You said King Charles had raised Ukraine with Trump. Is he still helping you?

ZELENSKYY: Yes, but I will not tell you how.

GUARDIAN: What's he doing?

ZELENSKYY: No, I can't. It's up to His Majesty to answer such questions.

GUARDIAN: You have good relationship?

ZELENSKYY: Yeah, we have very good relationship. We and Ukraine love His Majesty.

You know, this morning when I spoke by phone with my wife, first of all — with all respect to Keir — my wife said, "Best regards to His Majesty." And then to Prime Minister, of course.

GUARDIAN: Would you like to invite King Charles to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian people one day?

ZELENSKYY: Between us, this very day, today, I want to invite him very much. I don't know from security point of view and so on. Yes, of course, we want to see him in Ukraine very much.

My Autistic/ADHD level 2 daughter had a TiM teacher and she kept calling him Mr (not on purpose) but she finds it difficult to lie and the TiM teacher told the school that he is very distressed and they are now threatening my ‘disabled’ daughter with suspension for misgendering in Victoria Australia.

I support her 100% and I await their phone call.

There are countless horrific accounts of sexual violence from the occupied territories. Many will be dismissed, buried, or denied.

Because acknowledging them would require confronting the uncomfortable reality of why nothing was done to prevent them from happening in the first place.

Trump called the Epstein files a hoax. Meanwhile, his White House held Situation Room meetings over what might come out. JD Vance was in the room. Blanche was in the room. Put them under oath. On camera. Now.
