This is embarrassing… and this is on trump

This comes in the wake of a recent seizure by UK naval forces of a sanctioned Russian oil tanker on 14 June. yahoo.com/news/articles/sail…

Trump's position has always been that Ukraine [should] cede territory to Russia. On that Ukraine has always been a hard no. Now Putin is failing. How far is Trump prepared to go to save him? kyivindependent.com/zelensky…

Jay Clayton is not the issue. Clearly Trump's vision for the DNI is an active role in effecting the outcome of the midterm elections. If you accept the job of DNI those are the terms. It doesn't matter what your name is. apnews.com/article/jay-clayt…

Do you understand now why the Ukrainians fight?

Zelensky was told that the Kremlin thought his open letter was “rude”. His response: “they should’ve seen the first version “ 😆😂🤣

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military

Take note, this is a dry run for November. Highly likely if this gains any traction we will see it again in the midterm elections. Please repost, very important. apnews.com/article/californi…

We spend over $15,000 per capita on healthcare, twice that of other countries. Yet 85 million people are uninsured or underinsured & 500,000 go bankrupt due to medical debt. We must not make insurance & drug companies richer. We must provide healthcare to ALL as a human right.

Real life isn't always neat and clean. Keep it real, always.

This is most likely the stumbling block to an agreement to end the US-Iran war. apnews.com/article/lebanon-i…

I'll celebrate when the first Ukrainian pilot takes off in a Gripen Fighter. These are excellent planes and perfectly suited to the current environment. defensenews.com/global/europ…

Putin ups the ante and increases the threat. Nuclear terrorism at its finest. Fear of losing does this to his mind. euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/…

Russia uses 695 forms of torture against Ukrainian prisoners of war, including beatings, physical torture, sexual violence, and psychological abuse. This was reported by Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, during the presentation of the project “Made in Russia. Delivered into Captivity,” which documents Russian war crimes. The Ombudsman said that prisoners are strangled, attacked with dogs, beaten with electric shock devices, and forced to stand in one place for up to 18 hours. If they try to sit down, they are beaten again. “One form of torture is the ‘barbershop.’ During shaving, the Russians cut off not only hair but also pieces of skin from the head. If a person starts screaming, they are beaten physically or shocked with electricity,” Lubinets said. Russia has returned to Ukraine the bodies of 375 military personnel and civilians who were verified as prisoners. Of the verified Ukrainian prisoners of war, 149 were tortured to death. He also emphasized the lack of international response. In particular, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross were invited to the event, but none attended. 📷: Instagram / libkos

The censorship on this platform is horrible. The worst.

"Associate NATO membership" is a bit poorly defined, but it's something. Perhaps a well deserved sign of respect. yahoo.com/news/articles/germ…
