We’re going to do this for Trump

If Ukraine was able to launch 100 or 200 large cruise missiles like FP-5's and Long Neptunes at 4-5 major facility's in Russia in a single night along with lots of smaller cruise missiles and jet drones I think they'd have significant success with those facility's.

[French Aid to Europe 🇨🇵 🇪🇺 @aidefranceukr]

President Zelenskyy has confirmed that France has granted Ukraine licences to produce the AASM Hammer bomb, the SCALP-EG cruise missile and the Aster 30 B1NT interceptor missile locally.

[Marc Polymeropoulos @Mpolymer]

If true, this is a very big deal. Not just in terms of Ukrainian lives that were lost. I’m not sure if people realize that this put the lives of US embassy officials and US citizens at large in Ukraine at great risk. This is madness. The White House did this. I’ve never seen anything like this in my career. Heads should roll. If true…

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

One of the most psychologically telling photos I’ve ever seen.
A perfect image of how Trump maintains his psychotic alternate reality. He now has a 360-degree Ivanka-shaped bubble to seal him in a warm bath of praise—and to protect him from narcissistic injury.

Just wow.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

While Musk owns SpaceX which controls Starlink systems and can impose restrictions on them in Ukraine, those that began overnight are on the Starshield military version of the system controlled by the Pentagon. This suggests the decision to limit the speed of the Starshield systems was made within the Trump administration. https://t.co/x4bKeZSikR

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Totally insane levels of corruption and abuse of power are swirling all around us and my sense is that as angry as voters are about the cost of living they mostly are so awash in cynicism about politics that they don’t understand how egregious Trump is.

[daeveningglow @InlandCaGuy]

Billionaires are sowing their own doom with this kind of thing. In the midst of the upcoming tax and deficit crisis of the 2030s, how do you think normal people are going to answer the question "could Elon Musk afford to pay an extra $276 million in taxes per year?"

[Volodymyr 🇺🇦 @VoloUkraine]

Ukrainian DJ Tapolskyi, now serving in the AFU, has recorded a live session from Khortytsia Island (Zaporizhzhia) to fundraise for this unit. During the recording, you can hear and see the explosions from Russian strikes. 💔

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The mentally ill president of the United States gleefully posts grisly video of a man being killed by a tiger.

And then an official White House account, funded by taxpayers, reposts it.

Will the American media finally report on the president’s manifest psychiatric disorders??

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, introduced by Trump as "an attorney," has deep ties to China, working in Beijing for years at Chinese law firm Zhong Lun.

Zacharia was asked today where she passed the bar exam and in which U.S. state, she replied: “When I moved to China."

There is no record of admission from her to practice law in any of the 50 U.S. states or D.C.

After graduating in 2011 she moved to Beijing and spent roughly two to three years there, working as an associate at Zhong Lun, a major Chinese firm, which routinely acts as counsel for Chinese state agencies, state-owned enterprises, and cross-border transactions tied to Chinese government.

Why isn't oil at $200? Because "someone" keeps dumping oil futures all night long, and the CFTC refuses to look into it. Heck, even when it's clear-cut insider trading, the CFTC has been told to "back off," and they did. https://t.co/Do5mmc1YZR

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

BREAKING: CFTC staff have reportedly been told to retract their analysis of suspicious oil trades.

They include well-timed bets on oil futures placed shortly before major Trump announcements on the Iran war.

In one case, investors placed roughly $950 million in oil bets just hours before the April 7 ceasefire announcement.

The federal government spends 10 times more on seniors than on children.

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Anne Applebaum completely nails it here. Trump’s diesel deal boils down to getting business deals for his cronies in exchange for helping Putin protect his refineries

[spooky vampire arvo färt @arvofart]

I love a metaphor

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Russia has launched 6 ballistic missiles into Kyiv with no air alert and no reported air defence activity, with Ukrainian sources saying the US has now cut intelligence sharing that gives early warning of Russian ballistic launches, per initial reports.

As a result, multiple ballistic missiles impacted the city minutes ago.

The US threatened 3 days ago to cut off all intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Kyiv halted its strikes on Russian refineries. US detection provides the 3 to 5 minute civilian warning for a ballistic launch from western Russia, and without it that window drops to half or to nothing on many trajectories.

[John Marston @Marston1889]

Notice how Russia have killed over 100 civilians in Ukraine over the last week and Rubio hasn’t said anything ?

The most compromised administration in history.

[Ukraine Control Map @UAControlMap]

We normally try to focus on map events, but the political side has leaked in this week. This reeks of flailing and desperation from Trump
