This is simply a bribe for Trump and nothing more.
🇺🇸🇷🇺 Putin: “Russia is ready to allocate $1 billion to the Peace Council from the frozen Russian assets.

Putin also stated that Russia is discussing the use of russia's frozen assets for the reconstruction of territories damaged during the war.

Excellent advice! I do hope our foreign minister and our PM are taking note.
The last few days have provided Europeans with an important lesson on how to handle Trump. Don't beg, don't bluster, but do use the leverage you have to impose costs of him for his reckless behavior. European Greenland actions should inform their Ukraine policy. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

A regime that finally backs down when confronted by a united Europe is still tough enough to kidnap a five year old after preschool.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.

This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

Burn those images into your mind —
a five-year-old facing a car, an old man dragged from his home half-naked.
US didn’t have to be this country.

Republican voters chose Donald Trump for YOU....
Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way.

Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.

No American journalist does a better job of tracking Russian state media and Kremlin insiders than @juliadavisnews.bsky.social. In today's column, she describes Kremlin propagandists as absolutely giddy over Trump's destruction of Western alliances.

Putin is the winner in Trump's Greenland fiasco.

Chasiv Yar, Ukraine.

This is what happens when the Russians come.
European countries should take a good look — and never mistake this threat for something “far away.”

On 22 January 1919, Ukraine signed the Unification Act uniting its eastern and western territories.

Since 1999, this Day of Unity marks Ukraine's territorial integrity.

Amid ongoing war, the message is clear: borders are indivisible, defense is collective, unity is survival.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

My love and thoughts are with everyone impacted by the recent flood events, but especially with those in Mount Maunganui 💔
I’m also profoundly grateful to NEMA/CDEM/FENZ/emergency responders who are out there every day for us all, often at great personal cost.
Look after each other.

So, in "his" own words, [politically] "campaigning in Christchurch" is the answer to "where is the Prime Minister?" at this time of multiple national and international emergencies.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

Great fun. GREAT FUN.
Five local states of emergency and the PM is out having ‘great fun’ with his MPs and candidates.
Remember, when you vote, remember just how much your leaders cared about you and your neighbours.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.
