I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

BREAKING: Republicans' new bill to prevent a government shutdown would slash $23 billion in pre-approved funding for veterans exposed to toxic substances. The GOP is abandoning veterans.

Rep. Rich McCormick says he supports Veterans—then turns around and throws them under the bus. A Veteran himself, he’s backing the very DOGE cuts that gut VA care, fire Veteran workers, and leave thousands struggling. No excuses. No passes. Hold him accountable.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

🚨 INFURIATING: Trump & Elon Musk are gutting the VA, firing Veterans, and sabotaging their care. Jammie Mosser served this country for 30 years. He took a job helping fellow Veterans—then got kicked to the curb after just one month. Now they want to axe up to 83,000 more.

US appears set on crushing Ukraine capacity to force Zelensky to submit. Never mind that this is a bonfire of leverage versus Russia, which has every reason to believe it can dictate terms or reject a ceasefire in the knowledge that Trump is likely to blame Ukraine. Criminally bad negotiating.

1. Trump is pushing forward with his plans to create a "Crypto Strategic Reserve." No one has bothered to explain why diverting government resources into crypto has ANY STRATEGIC BENEFIT FOR THE UNITED STATES. The only benefit is for people who are current investors in crypto. It's a grift.

1. EXCLUSIVE Popular Information has obtained an email, sent yesterday by a Trump administration official, explicitly instructing CFPB employees not to carry out activities REQUIRED BY LAW. This directly contradicts what administration lawyers told a federal court.

Even if we ignore the absolute destruction of the rule of law, the absolutely blatant corruption is by itself unbelievable. Not only is Elon Musk is giving federal contracts to Elon Musk, but now David Sacks is buying millions of dollars in crypto from David Sacks. They aren’t even hiding it!

This past week we saw an amazing cross section of people take the fight to Trump/Musk and GOP from Zelensky to protesters challenging JD Vance. Even 50 of Musk's Tesla dealerships were protested. Anger towards Trump/his oligarchs is building. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/zelensky-p...

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

This will be seen in Europe and the UK as an egregious attack on the rule of law and human dignity, aided and abetted by elements of the current US administration, who evidently see this as fan service.
