The -101 looks like it dispensed a flare or something just prior to intercept....

This is the woman who just got promoted to press secretary for the Department of Defense “Proud to be an enemy of globalist Ukraine”

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Holy fuck! If Ben Shapiro is bashing Trump, we know we’re in trouble!

The silverfish is one of Earth's oldest living insects, having remained virtually unchanged for over 300 million years. It predates dinosaurs and has survived mass extinctions, including ice ages and meteor impacts.

💥 A Russian Mi-8 military helicopter has crashed in Oryol region. Preliminary reports: no survivors.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Russia plans to connect the occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP to its own energy grid in the coming weeks, per Petro Andryushchenko, former advisor to the Mariupol mayor. Russia built a distribution hub & compressor station near occupied Mariupol & Berdyansk — full-scale use is expected within months.

❗️☢️ Zaporizhzhia NPP will be connected to the Russian energy system in the coming weeks - this cynical step of the enemy is reported by the former advisor to the mayor of Mariupol Andryushchenko. For this, Russia has completed the construction of a distribution hub.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Brink on Face the Nation: I resigned from Ukraine, because the policy of the Trump administration is to put pressure on the victim – Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor – Russia. 1/

"Because it made him look bad" smh

Trump, when asked if Putin is an obstacle to peace: “I had a rough talk with Zelensky. He’s not making it easy — never had the cards.” No mention of Putin. No pressure. No surprise. Trump has zero intention of holding his buddy accountable.

The plane being a White Elephant gift is the funniest turn this saga could have taken

The aircraft was first commissioned for Qatari officials and spent years on the market without a buyer.

Just want to go on record and say I'm so happy I haven't seen or heard anything from #ElonMusk in so long! So happy his fragile, racist ego is hurt and super happy his wealth took major hits. Good riddance and stay gone

He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing. Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey. And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

Russian motorcycle assault did not go according to plan.

MAGA's brains are so broken. they speed ran the normal Pope conspiracies, and made the quantum leap to "the Pope is worse than woke, he's trans!" in less than 12 hours.

Shortly after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, to be held on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

Russian veterans were solemnly presented with chicken bones—a nearly spoiled soup set—for Victory Day.

Now this is how you finish an article

I wrote the definitive book on “continuity of government” and let me tell you: The idea of the US commander-in-chief flying on a plane from a foreign govt is a literal security nightmare. There’s a reason the US is the only country in the world that provides its leader his own helicopters overseas.

Apparently Trump’s 4th threat in 3 months to impose additional sanctions on Russia if they don’t agree to a ceasefire is now off because Putin doesn’t want to do that. 4 threats, 4 Putin rejections, 4 Trump does nothing.
