.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?”
@JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them.
They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.
And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
Elon Musk posted this after he and Donald Trump had a falling out last year.
They're buddy, buddy, once again. Your vote in the midterms is extremely important. Don't stay home!
We need to vote in NUMBERS that are too massive to be manipulated! 🌊🗳️
🇩🇪🇺🇦 German Foreign Minister Wadephul:
It is not as if, when the Russians arrive, the Ukrainian flag simply comes down, the Russian flag goes up and life continues normally.
The Russians abduct children to Russia and simply take them away from their rightful parents. What a terrible act that alone is.
They rape, murder, torture and kill. All of this happens in the territories occupied by Russia.
This woman speaks for the majority of us! 🔥🔥🔥
We need reassurance democratic candidates once elected, will proceed with procedures to remove this entire authoritarian regime.
Their commitment to do so, should be a no-brainer!!

Zelenskyy : There is updated information from intelligence about the Russians' preparation for a massive attack. Please, I beg you, take care of yourselves. Please respond to missile danger signals. Ukrainian services, our Air Force are ready to respond, and as much as our defense means allow. And a lot depends on partners - on every leader, on every country in the world, who have the means of defense that we need, and who can provide them. It is very important that there is political will for this, especially in the United States of America, especially in Europe, especially in other partners. The world is bigger than Russian evil, and protecting life must be a common cause. I thank everyone who really helps!
🚨HOLY F*CK it’s official: Lawyers say THREE FBI interviews with the woman who accused Trump of raping her when she was between 13 and 15 years-old ARE MISSING FROM THE FILES.
This is the biggest cover up in history. This MUST lead to prison or our laws mean nothing.
Our intelligence and special services are now working to establish all available information about yet another attack in the Black Sea targeting civilian vessels. Two civilian vessels were attacked in Bulgarian waters last night. One sank, while the other sustained significant damage. We express our sympathy to everyone affected.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces conducted no operations in this area of the sea, and this latest tragedy involving civilian vessels is another part of Russia’s effort to make the western Black Sea completely unfit for navigation.
We verified all the details with the Bulgarian side. Our Navy contacted its counterparts in Bulgaria, and it has been established that this was a combined Russian attack using maritime and aerial drones.
I instructed our Armed Forces, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, our intelligence, and other services to coordinate with our partners as fully as possible – so that both they and we have greater capacity to defend ourselves.
From the evening address.
I met with Additional Minister in the Ministry of Finance of Israel Zeev Elkin, who is here now with the Israeli delegation for the anniversary of the Babyn Yar tragedy. It was a horrific tragedy, but it is important that they took the time to come here during these days of remembrance – days that Russia is trying to make extremely difficult for our people with its aerial terror. Of course, it was Iran that provided Russia with the technology to produce these jet-powered “shaheds,” and it has used essentially the same kind of weapon to attack Israel. We discussed these and other threats, as well as the overall situation in the Middle East. Strong relations between Ukraine and Israel could certainly contribute to our shared security.
I held a coordination call with government officials, the military, and all key services. First, the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the Air Force reported on the deployment of air defense assets and the establishment of defense lines to protect designated key facilities. We are securing the necessary munitions for F-16s, interception systems, and interceptor missiles. The biggest challenge is with anti-ballistic capabilities, and the availability of these supplies depends entirely on our partners. We are working with them every day.
Second, over the past day, the Russians attacked several Ukrainian hospitals – in Kramatorsk and Kryvyi Rih. Our services responded, and it is important that in every region, there is a rapid response from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine to every such situation. Thank you for your professional work!
Third, government officials, together with representatives of regional authorities, have prepared additional logistics solutions in response to Russia’s operation against Ukrainian logistics. Today, we received updated intelligence on Russia’s preparations for a massive strike. We are preparing countermeasures. We set deadlines for a significant part of the tasks, and the highest-priority ones are already being implemented. Thank you to everyone who is defending our country and our people!
I held a meeting of the Staff. We had detailed reports on our electronic warfare capabilities and on how EW is used to protect our infrastructure. This very component of our defense that allows us to neutralize a significant share of Russian “shaheds”. We set additional tasks for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and for manufacturers – we are scaling up the approaches that work best.
Defense Intelligence of Ukraine also reported on Russia's technological priorities for this year and next, and on the supplies of critical components and equipment that Russia receives for weapons production to meet them. Based on this, we will prepare new sanctions packages: Defense Intelligence will submit its proposals to the Cabinet of Ministers and the National Security and Defense Council. We are also working to synchronize our sanctions accross partners’ jurisdictions.
Today, we also defined the main tasks for supplying Ukrainian forces with long-range drones next year. The key criterion is that we must be able to respond to Russian strikes in kind.
Glory to Ukraine!
BREAKING: My office received a whistleblower disclosure revealing Trump allegedly ordered the FBI to investigate and arrest protesters in Los Angeles who were criticizing the Administration’s mass deportation agenda. FBI analysts found no evidence these protesters committed a crime or posed a threat.
These allegations are deeply alarming: Using the FBI to target Americans for exercising their First Amendment rights directly undermines our nation’s foundational values.
I won’t rest until we get answers.
Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.
I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.
Trump literally had the FBI trained on how to protect him from being exposed as a pedophile.
This is what Republicans are now.
Pedophiles led by pedophiles that protect fellow pedophiles.
Since Trump basically gave Iran permission to blow up Los Angeles or San Diego, I’m reposting my “Dear Iran” tweet.
Apparently, my tweet is labelled as ‘violent speech,’ but Trump inviting Iran to attack American cities? 🤷♂️
