When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

This is Officer Caroline Edwards and she was one of the Capitol Police that defended the Capitol on J6 during the Insurrection. The rioters attacked her cracking her head open & leaving her with a permanent brain injury. Trump said it was Peaceful and full of Love that day!

There will absolutely be pallets of cash going to Iran.

So, is that now NINE wars the Donald has stopped? What a guy! Give him the peace prize 😂 The Art of the Deal🤮

Putin’s advisor Ushakov says Trump, in a conversation with Putin today, promised to put pressure on the Europeans and Ukraine during the G7 summit, and otherwise, to accept Russian peace conditions. (Uncommon in a readout to speak on behalf of the interlocutor, by the way.)

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation. Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago. Think about that. First came Obama's agreement. Then Trump tore it up. Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.

A family with six children has been evacuated from the Beryslav district of Kherson region. The situation in the region remains difficult. Constant Russian shelling and drone attacks make civilian evacuations dangerous, as Russians deliberately target evacuation and civilian vehicles. 📹: andry_boxer / Instagram

More civilians were killed and injured in Ukraine by Russia in May than in any other month in the past four years, the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. Russia is a terrorist state, still hoping to bomb Ukraine into submission after all these years. It didn't work before, and it won't work now.

Lately, Russian propagandists started openly mocking President Trump. The shift has been rather abrupt, as Russian television had not allowed itself such rhetoric before. Clearly, the Kremlin gave the order to start criticizing Trump. At first, Russian propagandists referred to him as "our guy." Now they describe him as a "Bidenized loser," a destroyer of the American empire, and a helpless manager. It is not Trump who has changed, but the tasks of the Russian propaganda machine. So, by taking his figure as a case study, we can see how propaganda works. ▪️ The first law: the object is not evaluated - it is used. On Russian television, Trump can be both a hero and a fool, a genius and a weakling on the very same day. One day, Solovyev praises the man who "destroyed the world order," and the next day he mocks his inability to reach a deal on Iran. Not because propagandists are confused, but because propaganda and lies do not require consistency. The more confusing and absurd, the better. ▪️ The second law: Russian television says only what the Kremlin allows it to say, and only when it allows it. Once the command was given, the hosts immediately began tearing Trump apart. ▪️ The third law: every audience gets its own dish. The domestic audience hears contempt. Foreign audiences hear doubt. Russian-language broadcasts feed viewers mockery, while RT in English carefully cultivates skepticism and asks questions. ▪️ The fourth law: ridicule is a political weapon. In reality, propaganda attacks not the individual but the institution through the individual. Trump is merely a convenient conduit. If he appears weak, manipulable, or incompetent, then American leadership itself begins to look the same. ▪️ The fifth law: propaganda hates inventing anything new. It prefers clichés. Need to explain Trump? Bring out "Biden." Need to explain Ukraine? Bring out "Afghanistan." Need to discredit future evidence? Bring out "Powell's vial." New events are simply stretched over old templates. ▪️ The sixth law is one of the most sophisticated. The most effective Russian propaganda does not sound Russian. It speaks with an American voice. If the desired message can be put into the mouth of an American journalist, blogger, or politician, its impact multiplies. People are more willing to trust their own. And finally, the most important thing. The ultimate goal of the machine is not to convince you that it is right. That is too difficult. It is much easier to convince you that truth itself does not exist. That everyone lies. That everyone manipulates. That everyone is equally ridiculous and equally absurd. Once people stop searching for the truth, they become much easier to control. The key question is why Russian propaganda has changed its rhetoric toward Trump precisely now.

LOL - sounds like winning? The art of the deal strikes America- FFS

Pure hell in Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk region. russians dropped 12 KAB glide bombs on a market. A fucking market. A Saturday morning — people just coming out to sell what they have. Just a regular, everyday market… gone in an instant.

What is wrong with me? Why can’t I get on board with the Trump phenomenon? MAGA? Is it my resistance to hypnosis? My distant for MMA cage fights? Have I been brainwashed into loving real law and order with a civilized twist? Is it my inner

🇺🇸🤔🧐U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on behalf of Donald Trump, expressed regret that the Saudi authorities signed defense agreements with Ukraine without consulting the United States, which had been Saudi Arabia’s main ally. In response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman noted that the U.S. had failed to fully protect the Kingdom from Iranian strikes, and therefore Saudi Arabia made a decision that could quickly strengthen its defense capabilities. The Crown Prince also stated that his country will continue to be guided by its own national interests when making decisions regarding its defense. This was a slap in the face to Trump from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in response to Trump’s crude and scandalous public statement that “…now let the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia kiss my ass and be polite to me from now on.” Thus, Trump’s reckless and irresponsible remarks have effectively put U.S.–Saudi relations on pause. The Saudi Crown Prince proved to be more diplomatic than the American president and, notably, did not respond to Rubio by saying that Trump should “kiss my ass” and behave politely toward him in the future 😉

Russia openly admits that it started the war in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine in 2014. This is a direct admission of Russian involvement and responsibility for civilian deaths as early as 2014—long before the full-scale invasion of 2022. It contradicts the narrative Russia has maintained for years of a purely "internal conflict" involving no troops of its own. What experts had long known: Russia lied for years.

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%. Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter. wapo.st/3S2PCeA

Amazing how hard the networks are trying to save @SenatorCollins job. Round the clock negative reporting on Platner’s past while never making any comparisons to trump or his administration picks. FFS let’s bring Al Franken back, too

OMG, the Donald’s picks - only half won. That means the other half cheated. That is Republicans Proof. 🤮

Trump 90 days ago: "Operation Epic Fury — is that a great name? It's only a great name if you win. And we've won. Let me tell you, we've won. You never like to say too early you won — we won. We won. In the first hour it was over. We won."
