Thank you for your service

Collins: You said you think that Ukraine is going to ultimately win this war. When you were talking behind closed doors and the U.S. president was there, is that a view that he seemed to share as well? Carney: We, the Germans, the UK, the French, all are of the view that the tide has turned in this war. It is a matter of time. Putin is going to lose this war.

Trump is attempting to undo the republic to retain personal power. No one in DOJ or FBI should be assisting him in this essentially criminal and anti-American undertaking. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Securing a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe. That’s our focus this morning at the G7 Summit here in Évian, France.

Some beauty from Ukraine I saw the other day. Sylianky are traditional Ukrainian handmade beaded necklaces, often worn close to the neck.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

This time, the Moscow region felt the reach of Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. An oil refinery was hit at a distance of 500 kilometers. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Missile Forces for their effective work. Russia must be forced to end its war against our people. And Ukraine’s long-range weapons are one of the important components of such pressure. This is a just response to Russian strikes – and to the dragging out of a war that must be ended. Glory to Ukraine!

SEN. KELLY: Ukraine is not asking us to fight with them with U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. They’re asking for help with equipment. We want Russia to lose. I want Russia to lose badly. I want Ukraine to win. Best way to achieve that is to give them assistance they need.

Ukrainian drones just hit a Moscow oil refinery that supplied over 40% of the city’s gasoline—just 15 km from the Kremlin! No air raid alerts, no effective air defense. Many who thought #Moscow was “safe” now face war at home. A gasoline crisis looms, with talk of rationing. After 4 years of a failed blitz, Putin’s supporters will feel the full consequences. Subscribe and share—witness the collapse! 🔥 #RussiaIsCollapsing #PutinCollapses #RussiaEconomy #MakeRussiaSmallAgain #StandWithUkraine

Canada is one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine. Standing with President @ZelenskyyUA at the G7, I announced that Canada is imposing more than 160 new sanctions on Russian individuals, entities, and vessels. We’re keeping the pressure on Russia to negotiate peace — a just and lasting peace — for Ukraine and Europe.

Berton was a very good boy at the vet today. Had his nails trimmed, and got his vaccines for our cross Canada trip. Only whined once. Such a good boy. And he’s lost four pounds off his winter weight!

Good Monday morning, After all the moronic MAGA bullshit this weekend I thought Canadians could benefit from some good news, Pierre Poilievre's polling numbers are lower than Stephen Harpers were. Tick Tock 🤣

Exactly👇🏿🎯

To understand the scale of today’s Russian crime against humanity’s historical heritage: it is the equivalent of bombing St. Peter’s Basilica in a war of conquest against Italy, or Notre-Dame de Paris against France, Westminster Abbey against Britain, or Aachen Cathedral.

BREAKING: BRILLIANT! Rep. Becca Balint uses the disgusting UFC attack on Michelle Obama to remind the world that Melania Trump is in the Epstein files! When they go low, we go for the knockout punch... "The comment was disgusting, racist, and obviously not true, but this is a great opportunity to remind folks that First Lady Melania Trump was in the Epstein files, which is disgusting and unfortunately very true," Balint wrote on X. Last night during the tawdry UFC event on the White House lawn, racist fighter Josh Hokit yelled out "Michelle Obama is a man!" It was a familiar white supremacist trope which asserts that Black women are inherently less feminine than white women. In her tweet about the incident, Balint included screenshots of files in the Epstein trove that implicate our current First Lady. "Dear G! How are you?" Melania wrote to Epstein's right-hand woman, sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. "Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania." Maxwell responded by calling Melania "sweetpea" and filling her in on her New York plans. The warm, familiar tone of the exchange makes it clear that the two were close friends, which adds fuel to the speculation that Melania was trafficked to Trump by the Epstein organization. She must be forced to testify the moment that Democrats retake control of Congress. The contrast between Michelle and Melania could not be starker. The former is compassionate, brilliant, and deeply empathetic. The latter is cold, incompetent, and shockingly comfortable hanging out with pedophiles. So comfortable in fact, she married one. Please ❤️ and share if you love Michelle Obama!
