UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch: "Ukraine fights for all of Europe. Russia isn’t an ally—Ukraine is. We must preserve its territorial integrity, support it with US help." She added that a peace deal with territorial loss is just a "reward for Putin’s aggression."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Judge Hannah Dugan, two-year-old V.L.M. They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations. … What we are witnessing is the Trump administration’s immigration plan in motion. Today, at Law Dork:

⚡️Republican senator calls for secondary tariffs on Russian energy buyers. "As to additional sanctions on Putin's Russia, I have bipartisan legislation with almost 60 cosponsors that would put secondary tariffs on any country that purchases Russian oil, gas, uranium," Lindsey Graham said.

"Three U.S. citizen children... were deported with their mothers by [ICE] during the early hours of Friday morning. One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Looking forward to the Fox News goons taking that 2-year old down a few pegs. “That infant is no angel, despite what the libs want you to believe. Did you know she cried a lot? I heard she’s not even potty trained. Disgusting.”

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

NEW: Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the federal courthouse in Milwaukee in support of Judge Hannah Dugan after her arrest earlier today by the FBI. (🎥 TMJ4 News)

APOLLO: * consumer sentiment collapsing * US tourism collapsing * new orders collapsing * cost pressures UP 🇺🇸

NEW: The Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen on Friday. Hours later, a conservative judge who tried to intervene warned of his "strong suspicion" that the administration "just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process."

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country. Details w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Actor Sean Penn, a devoted friend of Ukraine, just got a Ukrainian trident tattooed on his right wrist. A powerful symbol of solidarity and respect. Thank you, Sean, for standing with Ukraine! 💙💛

I hadn’t realised there was a former Tory MP serving in Ukraine’s armed forces. www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/a...

🔴 Zelenskyy says the missile that killed 12 in Kyiv had 116 foreign-made parts—most from U.S. firms. The missile was likely North Korean. He blames weak pressure on Russia and Pyongyang for enabling such attacks.

💯🇺🇸🇺🇦

Causing the most damage in Russia's attack on Kyiv were North Korean Hwasong-11A (KN-23) ballistic missiles. European countries and the USA have had a complete security collapse in failing to counter North Korea entering the war in Europe on the side of aggressor Russia.

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

Good summary of differences between EU/UA and US proposals. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-euro...

Differences b/w EU-UA and US proposals. Not irreconcilable but some still some ways apart. I suspect it'll come down to several bilateral agreements: US-RU: US agrees to lift sanctions and recognize Crimea UA-RU: ceasefire along contact line UA-EU: reassurance forces www.reuters.com/world/docume...

Reuters published the full text of Trump's peace plan,which was reportedly presented at a meeting in Paris by US envoy Witkoff The proposals are as follows: ◾️permanent ceasefire along the front line;⤵️

JUST IN: Judge Friedrich (a Trump appointee) has blocked the Trump administration's effort to pull funds from schools over DEI programming, saying the requirements are unconstitutionally vague. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Want to know why there are so many court orders against Trump? It’s because he keeps breaking the law! I discuss @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Trump's approval rating. Let that sink in.

Classic Trump: normalize a potential future norm violation as a joke/trolling (and grift off of it)

Damage confirmed at Russia’s 51st GRAU Arsenal. New 3m imagery from Apr 24 reveals extensive impact — quick analysis shows multiple structures hit. Work by @MT_Anderson. More to come with higher-res.

More and more activists in Georgia call for outright resignation of the illegitimate regime as opposed to the universally demanded new free and fair Parliamentary elections. Sometimes it seems to me that we are on a very slow but a very surely drafted path of history.

"Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!" At today’s protest in Georgia, we stood in solidarity with Kyiv, as Russia launched another brutal attack. “This is our shared pain, our shared fight, our shared enemy.” Day 148 of daily #GeorgiaProtests

Donald Trump is now selling ‘Trump 2028’ hats on his official merchandise website. (The Constitution prohibits him from running for a third term.)

Zelensky won't agree to a ceasefire while his capital is being bombed, — Macron said. "U.S. anger should be directed at one person: Putin, who started this war against a neighboring country. He must finally stop lying to the world," the French President emphasized.

Our cover this week.

No matter how many Ukrainian civilians Putin continues to murder, his man in Washington, Donald Trump, is never bothered. Putin is one of the few people in the world for whom Trump has never had a negative word.

While demanding Ukraine surrender Crimea and any possibility of NATO membership, Trump continues to demand nothing of his authoritarian buddy Putin. Instead, he’s made Putin’s war crimes easier by dismantling all efforts to investigate Russian atrocities committed in Ukraine.
