remarkable scenes on Hannity last night as the normally Trump-friendly Gen. Jack Keane criticized the administration for being an unreliable narrator, urged Trump to release the text of the Iran deal, and noted it may still end up leaving a path for Iran to get a nuke

McFAUL: I want to applaud Trump for trying to end the war. The problem is they talk to Russians, but after that, you don't see a strategy for ending the war in place. First, Trump likes to talk about cards. Well, they gave away their two best ones — denying Ukraine membership in NATO and ending U.S. assistance to Ukraine — and they got nothing from Putin in return. Number two, the structure is chaotic. These guys, Kushner and Witkoff, fly to Moscow all the time. Neither of them has ever been to Kyiv. Henry Kissinger famously coined the term "shuttle diplomacy." They're just shuttling to Moscow, not to Kyiv. Number three, this administration has no interagency team engaged in the details. Therefore, I'm not very optimistic that they're going to achieve results.

I am grateful to Canada for its new package of sanctions against more than 160 entities linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. Today, during our meeting with @MarkJCarney, we discussed strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia. And it is important that such decisions are being made. We also discussed formats of defense cooperation, Canada’s participation in financing the production of Ukrainian drones under the Danish model, and cooperation in the energy sector. Importantly, Canada will continue to provide Ukraine with energy support and assistance in recovery. I thank Mark for his strong position during the G7–Ukraine meeting and for all the support for our people. We truly have strong allies and the Prime Minister’s significant personal engagement in supporting Ukraine. And this is highly valuable.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden demolishes former CNN hack Chris Cillizza for attacking his family and focusing on the wrong "bullshit" while "Rome burns" under Trump. These people get paid to distract us from what matters... "Who is the audience for the Hunter Biden re-emergence? And, why? Like, who asked for this? Who wants it?" Cillizza wrote on X, posting a video urging Democrats to abandon the Bidens if they want to win in 2026. The fact that Cillizza — a lukewarm intellect who regularly churns out inane think pieces about how Democrats must embrace more moderate politics to win despite mountains of evidence to the contrary — feels entitled to give strategy advice at all is remarkable. This man has never uttered a single thing worth paying attention to. Hunter quickly put him in his place. "Dear Chris, I can start by telling you who my audience is not. It is NOT you. It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties," the former President's son wrote. "It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people. It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics," he continued. "The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit. The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering," wrote Hunter. "The families fighting for the lives of the those they love. Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again." This has been a persistent theme in Hunter's reemergence into the public eye: the idea of second chances. As a recovering drug addict, he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to push through the shame and humiliation and how important it is to afford yourself the grace to start anew. It's inspiring and exactly what many Americans need to hear. "My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me," wrote Hunter. "My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal." "And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern," he went on. "Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18 hours of unscripted podcasts I have done." "I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me," he continued. "Take a look at the comments to your post. And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns." "So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say," he concluded. Well said! America is fed up with these empty suits in the mainstream media who wring their hands and pretend to have all the answers while doing nothing to stop our country's slide into MAGA fascism. Please ❤️ and share if you're glad that Hunter Biden is speaking out!

❗️Ukrainian ballistics will change the course of the war, there are no problems with financing the program — Fedorov The Minister of Defense refused to disclose details about the progress of work on the project, stating that he does not want to either raise expectations or provide additional information to the enemy. “But here I can only quote our president that Ukrainian ballistics will exist, and it will strike Russia.”

🚨 WOW! CNN Analyst Harry Enten confirms Gavin Newsom is brilliantly outsmarting Donald Trump. By aggressively standing up to the former President, Newsom generated a massive 635 percent spike in support. The Democratic base is energized to defeat the corrupt establishment.

Biden's legacy is fine. Black voters know it was never about Biden but to keep Kamala out. Blaming him for Kamala's loss when voters deliberately failed the open book test is dumb. Many of the biggest mouths shouldve challenged him in the primary. They need to shut up now

Exactly. Tell the truth. The voters failed America. Not Joe Biden. Not Kamala Harris. Not anyone else. They had an effective president with a moral compass, a steady hand, and a real record of results. And they chose a man historians rank among the worst presidents in American history, a corrupt, deranged mobster with no morality, no decency, and no respect for democracy. Stop sanitizing it. The country was given a choice. Enough voters chose chaos.

Then it will be too late: Chubarov urges Russians to flee Crimea The head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Refat Chubarov called on Russian citizens illegally present in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea to immediately leave the peninsula. And he urged Crimeans, who are awaiting the liberation of Crimea from Russian occupiers, to take care of their own safety. Chubarov noted that for more than three weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been carrying out precise and effective strikes on the military facilities of Russian occupiers in Crimea, and the intensity of these strikes is increasing. “I want to address those who settled on the peninsula after February 27, 2014. Your presence in the territories of Crimea with forged Russian property ownership documents is illegal in all respects according to Ukrainian national legislation and international law. As long as the Kerch Bridge is still operational, you have a chance to leave Crimea. Soon, this opportunity will no longer exist. Don't put off your departure from Crimea until tomorrow. Pack your things and return to your homeland. Now. It will be too late later,” said the politician

Birds of a feather…

Hi Todd Blanche, Just a reminder that America hasn't forgotten you transferred convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security prison with no explanation. Also a reminder that it was Nixon's AG John Mitchell who went to prison for Watergate. Tick tock. ⚖️ x.com/OutFrontCNN/status/206…

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas ARAGHCHI says the war with the US is over, warning that any continued Israeli occupation in Lebanon would be a violation of the Memorandum Understanding between Tehran and Washington DC, which is set to be signed in person on Friday.

Zelensky mostra le conseguenze dell'attacco alla Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra bersagliata da droni russi. Un sito UNESCO danneggiato, 11 morti, 53 feriti. Non riesco ancora a capacitarmi che l’imbelle Occidente permetta una simile barbarie contro un Paese europeo.

First, Lukashenka called on Ukraine to surrender. Now he is 'apologizing' to President Zelenskyy. This is what 🇺🇦's strength has done. It exposed the weakness of a dictatorship built on lies, fear and dependence on Putin. No staged apology can erase complicity in aggression.

🚨 ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL: Retired US Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling confirms Donald Trump is a complete pariah at the G7. He reveals global leaders are actively avoiding the US President. The American empire is completely isolated due to Washington's disastrous foreign policy.

Kaja Kallas: ❗️"We have also now verified reports that the Chinese military has been training Russian military personnel to fight in Ukraine. We are carefully assessing the implications."

MAJOR BREAKING: Trump's full Iran deal LEAKS out of Saudi Arabia — and it's a thousand times worse than even his harshest critics predicted. This is a historic surrender by Trump and Vance. #6 is a real doozy... According to Al Arabiya, a state-owned news channel out of Saudi Arabia, the agreement between the White House and Tehran is a 14-point "Memorandum of Understanding." Here are those points in summary: 1) Iran, the United States, and their allies declare upon signing that there will be "an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon." They vow not to "launch any hostile attack against each other" and will "will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other." That means no more Truth Social threats from Trump ranting that a "whole civilization will die tonight." 2) The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States undertake to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs. 3) The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States undertake to negotiate and reach a final agreement within a maximum period of 60 days, extendable by mutual consent. 4) The U.S. will lift its naval blockade and "prevent any interference or obstruction against" Iran. Traffic through the region will be restored within 30 days to "full capacity" and "pre-war volume of traffic on the part of the Islamic Republic of Iran." The U.S. agrees to withdraw its military forces from the surrounding region within 30 days of the final agreement (which still has to be written and ratified). 5) Iran agrees to immediately "take steps" to ensure that the movement of merchant ships from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume, taking into account the need for the removal of technical obstacles and the neutralization of mines by Iran. 6) The U.S. and its allies will create a "comprehensive plan" for the "rehabilitation and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran." It must amount to AT LEAST $300 billion. The full design of the program will be written into the final agreement. In other words: Trump wasted billions of your tax dollars to blow up Iran and now he's spending billions more to rebuild it. 7) The U.S. agrees to end "all types of sanctions" on Iran, including those implemented by the U.N. Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency, as well as all "unilateral U.S. sanctions, both primary and secondary." This is an absolutely MASSIVE concession. Sanctions have long been the primary tool of imperial oppression wielded by the U.S. against Iran. While ostensibly designed to weaken the Ayatollah and the theocratic mullahs, in practice the sanctions have done nothing but inflict pointless suffering and misery on the Iranian people. Iranian elites exist in a pampered bubble much like the elites do in the United States. It's the normal people who suffer under sanctions because they're denied access to food, medicine, technology, and other imports. Because those supplies are restricted, prices inflate, choking the middle and lower classes. With the removal of these sanctions, the Iranian people have a chance to enter into a new era of economic blossoming. In his genocidal, nihilistic quest to weaken and destroy Iran on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump may have accidentally Made Iran Great Again. 8) The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States have agreed that the fate of enriched material and the fate of all other mutually agreed nuclear-related issues, including Iran’s nuclear needs, will be adequately addressed in a final agreement; the final agreement will confirm the provisions of this Article. While Trump will try to claim point 8 as some big victory, the use of the word "reiterates" here is crucial. Iran was never pursuing nuclear weapons in the first place. The White House and Israel lied about Iran's intentions as a pretext to start this war. Tellingly, Iran has not agreed to surrender its enriched uranium in this memo. 9) The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States agree that, pending a final agreement, they will maintain the status quo: Iran will maintain the status quo on its nuclear program, and the United States will not impose new sanctions on Iran or strengthen its forces in the region. To put it more succinctly: Trump accomplished nothing. 10) The U.S. agrees to "immediately" issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and their derivatives, and all related services, including banking, insurance, transportation, and the like. Those waivers will no longer be required once the sanctions are lifted in full. 11) The U.S. agrees to release "frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran" so long as negotiations progress towards a "final agreement." Those funds will "fully available for use" by Iran. 12) The U.S. and Iran agree that "an implementation mechanism will be established to oversee the successful implementation of and future commitment to the Final Agreement." The final agreement will be approved through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council. Let us be very clear about what this deal memo represents: a complete, and total surrender by the United States of America to the Islamic Republic of Iran. It constitutes the greatest military defeat in American history. It's also a cause for celebration. The deal is good for Iran, but more importantly it's good for the world. This conflict accomplished nothing beyond aiding Israeli's territorial expansion into Lebanon. Innocent people were slaughtered and Americans were forced to pay the price in the form of skyrocketing groceries and gas. It would have been far better if Trump had never started this war. But since he did, it's a blessing that it's finally (possibly) coming to an end. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Obama got a better deal!

CARNEY: Today, Canada announcing additional sanctions against Russia. Our PURL packages will soon arrive in Ukraine. We’re working more closely with Ukraine on drone production. We’ll support Ukraine’s energy system for winter and help with reconstruction once peace is secured.

BREAKING: Governor Kathy Hochul has signed sweeping legislation banning ICE agents from wearing masks and entering sensitive locations like churches and schools. This is huge.

I met with Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. The United Kingdom has taken new important decisions in support of Ukraine and introduced new sanctions steps against Russia’s shadow fleet. Thank you! All of this works towards peace. I informed Keir about the consequences of the recent Russian strikes. We discussed the possible participation of the United Kingdom in the restoration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the implementation of the agreements reached during today’s G7–Ukraine meeting, potential areas for further pressure on Russia, and steps to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. Thank you, Keir Starmer, for your unwavering support for our people.
