Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Today, we present our 20th sanctions package.

Sanctions severely hurt Russia’s economy.
And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

What posdible reason could they have for beating a man with metal batons?
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Wow - yes, here it is. It looks like Putin was the one who reached out to Epstein, at least according to what he told Ehud Barak.

Given Barak’s intelligence background, it’s unlikely he’d lie to him

Wonder who was the Russian conduit to Epstein - there is one plausible one

This is, frankly, really disturbing and, I feel, undemocratic, but is really of no surprise under the #Trumo Dictatorship.

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve.

The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

How to say everything without saying anything.
Zelensky on Venezuela:

“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”

Omg I love it.

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “Keir Starmer should condemn Trump’s illegal action in Venezuela. Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.

“Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.”

Introduce yourself as something that nearly killed you. Hello, im run away race horse at Beverley market.
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Good evening I am a cerebral spinal fluid leak from when I had a bad head impact with a low doorway that caused an audible crunch and left me bedridden for about 5/6 months in 2011 and constantly at risk of meningitis

Fantastic discussion here of Russia and Ukraine. The two most notable predictions for 2026

Putin might well aim for a limited attack on Europe to a) test NATO and Trump’s detachment and b) divert or scare of European material support for Ukraine youtu.be/8ZnwpoBi6F8?...
