SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

🚨Major Russian bank failure imminent?

Credit Bank of Moscow, the 6th-largest bank in Russia by asset size with 5.45T rubles, has 668B rubles in overdue loans, 12.3% of assets.

That's massive. When Washington Mutual collapsed in 2008, nonperforming loans were 3.8% of assets.📉

Trump est en train de tuer l'OTAN

Heureusement, nous n'en sommes pas dépendants à 100%

Le plus grand péril pour l'Ukraine serait que le POTUS lève les sanctions, principal espoir de fin de la guerre aux dépens de la russie.

If the entire Trump administration doesn't realize that this would guarantee that the Trump pardons they're all banking on will also be declared invalid by a future president, nobody tell them.
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

Stefanik says Johnson ‘certainly' wouldn’t be reelected speaker
Stefanik says Johnson ‘certainly’ wouldn’t be reelected speaker
Rep. Elise Stefanik said Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) would lose an election to lead the House if a vote were suddenly called. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday night, the New York lawmaker said Johnson is an “ineffective leader” who is losing control of the Republican party. “He certainly wouldn’t have the votes to be speaker if there was a roll-call vote tomorrow,” Stefanik, a close ally to President Donald Trump, said. “I believe that the majority of Republicans would vote for new leadership. It’s that widespread.” Johnson replaced former Rep. Kevin McCarthy to helm the lower chamber in 2023, accepting the speaker’s gavel after a historic series of multiple rounds of voting. He easily won re-election to the speakership earlier this year on a near-party-line vote. It’s not the first time Stefanik, who is running for governor, has criticized the speaker. Earlier this week, she accused Johnson of blocking provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act that would notify Congress if the FBI begins investigating federal candidates. Johnson, she said Monday in a post to X, is “getting rolled by House Dems attempting to block my provision to require Congressional disclosure when the FBI opens counterintelligence investigations into presidential and federal candidates seeking office.” Still, Johnson appears to have the favor of Trump, who has been able to keep a lid on most GOP internal disputes this year and was credited with mediating the quarrel between Johnson and Stefanik. But in an interview with Playbook, Stefanik pointed out that between Trump and Johnson, “one has historic support among Republican voters, and one has catastrophic, plummeting support among Republican voters.” Meanwhile, Democrats watching from the sidelines have cheered on the in-fighting with glee. “THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING!” a Tuesday memo from the DCCC highlighting the Stefanik-Johnson feud said.

The Russians released a propaganda video claiming the complete capture of Pokrovsk.

The General Staff of the AF of Ukraine has refuted Russian fakes about the "capture" of Pokrovsk and Vovchansk. The situation there is difficult - neither Ukrainian nor Russian forces fully control the city.
