Did we really ship $350 Billion to Ukraine without any oversight?! Of course not. And it isn’t anywhere near that number. Here’s the truth: youtu.be/ZROD0LjN3HU?...

Civilian deaths in Sumy attack may force Washington to get tough with Putin

"There are daily Russian strikes on our cities. They've attacked over 1,700 schools, killed more than 600 children, and hit 780 medical facilities. We’ve lost 13,000 civilians, and as many as 100,000 of our soldiers. We are paying the highest price possible" Zelensky www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Can someone, anyone, explain why the DOJ is so adamant about not returning the Maryland father from El Salvador? Why not?! What is their end-game? 🤔

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

A missile with cluster munitions — used deliberately to kill as many civilians as possible. The strike on the city of Sumy was a conscious attack on civilians, says Head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak.

The "Last Week Tonight" host also flagged "the most striking" fallout from the president's tariffs.

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

Disturbing footage from the first minutes after the Russian ballistic missile strike in Sumy. Injured children, people searching for their loved ones missing. Fear and chaos. At this moment, 34 civilians have died and another 119 were wounded.

Good morning beautiful world. Spring in the high country. ✨️ Sound on ❤️

Global markets face renewed uncertainty from President Trump’s tariff policy after he posted on Sunday that “NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook” www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

Russian propagandist Simonyan: “We have the army, the navy, and Dmitry Medvedev’s Telegram channel. And all of it under the leadership of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Those are our allies.”

Ukrainian MiG-29 crews continue precision strikes across all fronts, targeting Russian positions. French-supplied AASM HAMMER guided bombs were used to hit Russian facilities in Tyotkino — a site repeatedly hit, yet still used for storing equipment and prepping drones.

“Welcome to the new tariff economy..." wrote the newspaper's conservative editorial board.

According to the U.S. Army, soldiers won't be arresting people suspected of being in the country illegally, and instead will offer "logistical support" to Border Patrol agents.

The Trump administration said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to "facilitate" his return to the United States.

🇫🇷 President Macron: “Russia alone started this war. And Russia alone chooses to continue it — with blatant disregard for human lives, international law, and diplomatic efforts.” Following the deadly missile strike on Sumy, Macron calls for strong measures to impose a ceasefire.

I haven’t fallen asleep yet. I have a kid at MIZZOU. This is what it’s like living in a state where the supermajority GOP cowers to the gun lobby rather than listening to their constituents. They’re severely underestimating how low a tired, infuriated mom can go. #MoLeg @momsdemand.bsky.social

Maybe it's me but a president having the power to call trade emergencies and fuck up the global economy on a whim seems like it shouldn't be a thing, and we should probably campaign on that not being a thing any longer.

Shapiro says the motive isn't known, but as for the arsonist "If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community who joined us for a Passover seder in that room last night - hear me on this: we celebrated our faith last night proudly"

"They prefer to deal with just one side and then just spread the narrative that Russia wants peace." Ukraine MP Dmytro Natalukha says the US appears committed to siding with Russia, despite more attacks on civilians www.channel4.com/news/sumy-at...

Me, June 6, 2024: “Conway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would ‘try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … ‘You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

It sounds simple: just make it in America. But for small business owners like Sarah Wells, the reality is more complicated. Hear her story and why Trump’s reckless tariff war is not only misguided, but an existential threat to small businesses like hers across the country.

🇱🇹 Lithuania is boosting Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. FM Rustem Umerov says Lithuania has allocated €10M for the production of Ukrainian long-range weapons—already in use on the battlefield. Another €10M tranche is on the way.

🇺🇦Ukrainian Air Defence shot down: ▪️40/62 Shahed UAVs; ▪️11 drones suppressed by EW.

It’s Palm Sunday and Russians fired a ballistic missile right into the center of Sumy. There are gruesome pictures and videos of people lying the ground. Dozens are dead. Anyone who thinks that peace can be achieved with Putin is not only a fool, he is the heir to the throne of the kingdom of fools.

I keep puzzling over how Rubio thinks it'll bring PROSPERITY to kidnap gay hairdressers based on their tattoos & then pay $20K/year to detain them in a slave camp. We could have spent that $6M on supporting trade with Congo instead, but Rubio has decided torture is better for profits?

The past two weeks have witnessed the most volatile period for financial markets since the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns five years ago. This time, however, the cause is not a highly contagious virus but the grievances and whims of one man www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The president snapped after watching a TV show he didn't like and said CBS should lose its license.

US President Trump responded to the ballistic missile strike by Russia in on Sumy which killed 34 and wounded 117. "It was terrible, I was told they made a mistake," he said, before quickly brushing the whole subject aside and going on about how the war would never have started... bla bla bla.

Overnight, Russia launched 62 Shahed drones of which 40 were shot down and another 11 didn't reach their intended target and were lost in location.

I heard this CBS 60 Minutes segment about Greenland made the Orange Convicted Felon really mad. Whatever you do, don’t share it.😉 youtu.be/wj9XNX5z1SA?...
