Trump posted more than 60 times on Truth Social last night, but he handed his phone to an “unknown staffer” when the video depicting the Obamas as apes was posted?

Playing politics with disaster relief funding is a new low, even for the Trump Administration.

Let’s call it for what it really is: a politically motivated decision that punishes thousands of Illinois families in a critical moment of need.

This photo of a firefighter from Poltava speaks louder than words.

Ukrainian emergency responders are the true heroes. Coming to the rescue no matter the circumstances.

Kudos to Ukraine’s first responders, the heroes of the civilian front 💙💛

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement

CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?

STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors

War changes everyone.
It makes soldiers stronger, more resilient.
It also takes their years away, hardens them from inside.

You can see how war affects Ukraine's defenders in their tired eyes alone🧵

Let's support them:

"Trump’s new order, inaugurated with his assault on USAID, is now corroding America’s influence and standing and leaving global leaders with little choice but to treat the United States as an erratic adversary rather than a stable ally." (Gift article)

Crockett: "All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. They will do anything to distract from that, including deciding to put up in the middle of Black History Month the most racist thing that we've ever seen come out of a White House."

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

Much of the aid provided over the following years would later be stolen, including the infamous $5 billion from the IMF.

Now, 34 years later, Russians are again returning to their roots, spending 12% of GDP and 50% of the federal budget waging war on the civilized world.

French authorities have just taken down hundreds of Russian disinformation websites aimed at sowing division and installing far-right candidates in the coming elections.

Most of these sites were imitations of popular and trusted news outlets, populated with Ai content.
