A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Trump signed an agreement with the UK and bragged that he had a new trade agreement with the European Union, the UK is not in the EU.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Pentagon posts Flag Day tribute on X with graphics resembling Russian flags.

Likely footage from Kaliningrad shows Ukraine’s HUR agents setting fire to a Russian substation that powered military infrastructure.

A Ukrainian Shark reconnaissance drone helped destroy two Russian air defense systems — the Osa and Strela-10.

According to Iran International, residents of Tehran are chanting “Death to the dictator” and “Death to Khamenei” from the rooftops in some neighborhoods of the Iranian capital.

The FIS of Ukraine has reported that Russia is preparing a large-scale information campaign amid ongoing prisoner exchanges. Putin personally initiated the campaign and is being coordinated by propagandists who will spread manipulative content. The peak of the campaign is expected around June 20.

Ukrainian soldiers shot down an enemy fiber-optic FPV drone at the last moment as it was flying directly toward their pickup truck.

Under the Istanbul agreements, Ukraine has received a total of 6,057 bodies. Today marked the final stage, with 1,245 more repatriated. Law enforcement and expert institutions will conduct examinations and identification.

In March–April 2025, European military aid to Ukraine exceeded U.S. contributions for the first time since June 2022, according to the Ukraine Support Tracker from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. www.ifw-kiel.de/publications...

“In 2014, Ukraine had non-aligned status, and we all know how that ended. It ended with the start of the war, the occupation of Crimea, and the occupation of parts of eastern Ukraine — parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Even though we had non-aligned status." - said Zelensky.

Trump believes that Russia’s exclusion from the G8 was a mistake and claims that without it, the war wouldn’t have happened. So... the Russians got offended and attacked Ukraine - a country that isn’t even a member? What kind of logic is that supposed to be?

"During the latest repatriation efforts, we were also handed over the bodies of Russian soldiers - mixed in with the bodies of Ukrainians." - said Ihor Klymenko, Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. In addition, Russia is returning the bodies of the deceased in an extremely mutilated condition.

Trump: “Putin talks to me - he doesn’t talk to anyone else, because he was deeply offended when he was kicked out of the G8.” Oh Donnie, they really fed you a whole load of nonsense - and you actually believe it.

“We don’t trade children. That’s madness - and by the way, it’s something the Russians actually proposed: we give them soldiers, and they give us children. It’s simply beyond comprehension, beyond international law. But it’s typical of them. Children must be returned,” Zelensky stated.

Russia is modernizing its nuclear bases near the EU, according to the Swedish outlet SVT. One such base is located in Kaliningrad, just 270 kilometers from Sweden, and in recent years, five Russian nuclear facilities have been built or upgraded near the Swedish border. www.svt.se/nyheter/utri...

The Trump administration is giving coal power plants exemptions from clean air standards – just by sending an email to the EPA. The EPA should be working to protect us from pollution, not doling out favors to polluters!
