The US launched no strikes on Iran on Friday after 13 consecutive nights of attacks, raising questions over whether a major escalation is coming.

This video map shows the scale and locations of the strikes on Iran.

With just two weeks until the August 4th primary, there’s a lot going on. Make sure you know the important dates to make your voice heard.

🇷🇺🇺🇦L'humiliation est totale pour la Russie.

La destruction totale de l'entrepôt géant de Wildberries dans la région de Moscou est vraiment impressionnante.

L'entrepôt était un hub logistique stockant des composants utilisés dans les drones tuant les civils ukrainiens. Cela en fait une cible légitime pour les drones ukrainiens qui ont parfaitement fait le job, et la Russie n'a pas réussi à le défendre.

Les mauvaises nouvelles s'accumulent pour les Russes. Imaginez un peu, ils encaissent des frappes depuis des semaines, ils subissent une pénurie d'essence et ils savent qu'une nouvelle mobilisation massive se prépare. Et aujourd'hui, ils se réveillent avec un gigantesque nuage noir cachant le soleil au-dessus de Moscou.

Vladimir Poutine ne peut plus cacher qu'il subit ce conflit. Lui qui veut faire croire que tout est constamment sous contrôle, il apparaît comme un leader faible qui n'est pas capable de protéger son pays et sa population d'une situation qu'il a lui-même créée.

Ce n'est que le début des problèmes pour la Russie, la mobilisation à venir risque aussi de créer des remous.

JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”

Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.

Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.

“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.

He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.

“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”

That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.

Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.

Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.

His message was simple:

The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx

General Chris Donahue has reportedly been dismissed and is now retiring from the United States Army. That is a tremendous loss for our military.

In my opinion, he is one of the finest combat leaders America has produced in the last 20 years.

Throughout his career, he served this nation with distinction, from years in special operations and combat deployments, to commanding the 82nd Airborne Division, to becoming the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan during the 2021 withdrawal. He carried that responsibility until the very end.

He also played a significant role in strengthening U.S. military cooperation with Ukraine and NATO as Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa. His leadership helped reinforce America's commitment to our allies during one of the most critical periods in modern European history, and many people in Ukraine benefited from those efforts.

Leaders like General Donahue are rare. They earn respect through competence, integrity, and decades of service to something greater than themselves.

General, thank you for your service to the United States, your commitment to our allies, and your leadership over a remarkable career. I wish you and your family nothing but health, happiness, and peace in retirement.

God bless you, Sir! You've earned every bit of it.🫡

Is Ukraine's land invasion of Crimea beginning?

Ukrainian troops have raised the national flag over the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv Oblast, a territory that had been under Russian occupation since 2022.

According to the military, Russian forces retreated under heavy fire and are continuing to evacuate surviving personnel while abandoning their defensive positions.

The terrible human cost of Communism: Stalin’s policies led to death of 20 million in his country. Mao killed approximately 70 million Chinese.

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

Ukraine isn't testing the SKYNEX air defense system anymore. It's using it - and the results are rewriting Europe's defense orders.

All four SKYNEX systems pledged by Germany have been delivered and are operational. Developed by Rheinmetall, each unit combines a 35mm automated anti-aircraft cannon with radar-guided targeting and a networked battle management system - designed specifically to intercept Shahed-type drones before they reach their targets.

Ukraine's Air Force called the results "impeccable." Rheinmetall is now planning to scale production to 400 systems per year by 2027 - a decision driven directly by what Ukraine proved in combat.

The drone war created the demand. Ukraine created the proof of concept.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

We can’t be neutral when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. This is an evil vs good war, and we should stand with the democracy, the victim of an invasion and not the invader. People say they’re pro-Ukraine, but actions speak louder than words.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this in two weeks.

[распад и неуважение @VictorKvert2008]

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine resigned and openly accused Trump of aligning with Putin.

Respect to Bridget Brink — a brave and honest woman.

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

Yes, Putin 🇷🇺 had to rely on troops from 🇰🇵 to repel the 🇺🇦 incursion into the Kursk region last year. I have difficulty seeing this as anything but a sign of weakness. And now the 🇰🇵 troops are parading in the Red Square.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken:

For every dollar that we [the US] put into Ukraine, Europeans and others put in a dollar and a half. So the notion that they were free-riding on Ukraine is simply not true.

And much of the money that we spent on Ukraine was actually spent here in the United States to either buy weapons systems for them or to replenish the systems that we gave them.

[AmericanUkraineCommittee @AmUkrCommittee]

🙏 Thank you, @RepDonBacon, your words moved hearts, and your leadership moves mountains!

@RepDonBacon said it clearly:
💬 "This is a fight of evil versus good. And America's gotta stand on the right side."

@RepDonBacon is pushing the discharge petition to force a floor vote on sanctions against Russia and renewed military aid to Ukraine, and they are ONE signature away.

📢 Tell Congress: Keep the pressure on Russia. Don't let sanctions weaken now.
