Giving away territories to Russia in exchange for peace is not an option: Ukrainians under Russian occupation are starved, hunted with drones, executed, and left with their dead unburied. In Russian-occupied Oleshky, the reality is worse than Bucha. kyivpost.com/opinion/84635

Russia continues to help Iran kill American troops & destroy American bases & equipment. FSB is trying to kill people on U.S. streets. Yet, the Administration continues to support Putin over Zelenskyy, and a portrait of Putin hangs in the Oval Office. Draw your own conclusions.

"У ту вирішальну мить вже поранений Сашко закрив собою вхід до укриття, прийнявши на себе близько десяти гранат, якими вороги закидали позицію і тим самим врятував життя своїм побратимам" Його тіло до цього часу залишилось на полі бою… Олександр Хомʼяк. Герой України. На жаль, посмертно. Про його життя нам відомо небагато. Та подвиг, який він здійснив в останні хвилини свого життя, назавжди залишиться свідченням справжньої мужності. Олександр був одним із восьми Титанів, які 67 діб тримали оборону опорного пункту «Пінчер» поблизу села Спірне на Донеччині, перебуваючи у ворожому оточенні. 16 вересня 2024 року ворог кинув проти них цілий штурмовий загін. Наші воїни прийняли бій. Коли позицію почали закидувати їх гранатами, поранений Олександр закрив собою вхід до укриття. Близько десяти вибухів прийняв на себе, врятувавши побратимів ціною власного життя. Найвищу державну нагороду за свого сина отримувала мама — Людмила Павлівна. Олександр Хомʼяк — воїн батальйону «Свобода» 4-ї бригади «Рубіж». Шана і честь Герою! Сьогодні — друга річниця його загибелі. Друга річниця від дня, коли він віддав життя, щоб жили інші. Його немає серед нас, але його подвиг досі говорить голосніше за будь-які слова.

Like death and taxes, it's one of life's few certainties: Everything Trump touches dies. #ResistTrump

I still can’t get over the fact that Putin’s close buddy pays for the wedding of Trump’s son and then Trump returns the favor by pushing Ukraine to capitulate. This is the most corrupt president in the US history by a huge margin!

The oligarch, Umar Kremlev, spent hundreds of thousands on expenses like renting out a private island. He appears to have met Trump Jr. only recently, but he attended the intimate wedding with a large group of other Russian guests. propublica.org/article/donald…

Republicans just sent Congress home until November. Wars are raging abroad. Gas prices near record highs. Yet they can’t be bothered to vote on bills to make life easier for you.

Hello. This is your morning reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception. The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care. We care.

Today is Ukraine’s Rescuers’ Day. Ukraine’s rescuers. Heroes without capes. You save lives. You save homes. You keep going when it matters most. Thank you.

A Russian attack destroyed the warehouse of Olena Zelenska Foundation today. Humanitarian aid t be distributed to Ukrainian kids, their families and schools was kept there, waiting to be transported across Ukraine: generators, household appliances, e-books, laptops, tablets, medical equipment etc. In recent months, Russia has also attacked warehouses of international relief organizations such as the Red Cross and the UN. Russia intensifies its terror on Ukrainian civilians, hoping to make their lives as miserable as possible and cause a humanitarian refugee crisis in Europe this winter.

Not being able to move oil around and sell it is a big minus for Russia’s budget – more than 100 billion a year. This year it will be even more, 150 billion. We never attack first. Our tactic is to respond where we can because Putin doesn’t respect and won’t even think of negotiating with weaklings. When Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were here, they proposed thinking about refineries and other energy. I told them we are ready for an energy ceasefire, but you need to know what that means for Ukraine. For Putin, energy is selling oil and gas. For us, energy is having electricity and gas supplies for our people. My message was: If the Russians are ready for an energy ceasefire, it means no strikes of any kind with any type of weapon on energy. If we speak about grain and agriculture, then no blockade on agricultural exports, because this is about food security for many people on other continents. Russia has up to 70 million tons of agricultural products to sell, and Ukraine needs to sell around 30 million. It’s in their interest too. If they say, “We don’t attack these facilities,” they have to put a list of their facilities on the table – the ones they don’t want us to attack. Even during the war, you can find some moments to de-escalate. If you negotiate, that means you are showing your goodwill, or political will, to end the war. From an interview with CBS.

@wdunlap This is a national security threat. Dumbing down our students as AI ascends is fundamentally disastrous. NY Board of Regents is ultimately dooming its citizens to manipulation & vulnerability. We need strong smart critical thinkers.

“MAGA has taken America to the edge of an abyss. Now it is time to bury it under the rubble, where a thousand reputations will never recover for what they did, for whom they did it, and to whom they did it.” steveschmidt.substack.com/p/make-it-stop

He’s going to try and demolish the Kennedy Center without Congressional approval just like he demolished the East Wing. 🤬 rawstory.com/kennedy-center…

Blinken: "He said he would end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours. I think we're a little more than 24 hours past. What I heard this week was the world upside down. The President was complaining about the Ukrainian responsibility for higher oil prices. He said he was talking to Zelenskyy about it. He's calling the wrong guy. He should be calling Vladimir Putin and telling Putin to stop going at Ukraine's energy. And btw, the impact of prices is coming from the Gulf not Ukraine."

I thank our warriors, who make Russia feel the war every day. Last night, in a joint operation by the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Yaroslavl oil refinery was hit. The Security Service also carried out a precise strike on a military airfield in Rostov – the damage to an An-12, two An-26s, and three helicopters has been confirmed. There have also been good results in the Black Sea. Every day, we respond to aggression. Russia must choose peace. @ZelenskyyUa

@CREWcrew I know you must be intensely busy, but could you also look into his 10’s of 1,000’s of stock trades & the timing of them based on his public pronouncements? So appreciate your work! We desperately need your help if we are to survive this period of chaos & corruption. Thank you!

The Domestic Emoluments Clause was designed as an anti-corruption provision to prohibit a president from converting the office into a vehicle for personal profit at the public's expense. So Trump's IRS deal? Likely a violation. We filed an amicus brief. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/a…

He was a piece of shit in the 80s, and he's still a piece of shit today.

It is symbolic that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act on the night of yet another Russian attack on Ukraine with ballistic and other missiles and drones. Once again, civilian infrastructure was targeted, with damage reported in eight regions. The Russians struck energy infrastructure in the Sumy and Odesa regions. In Kyiv and Odesa, ordinary residential buildings were hit. More than 10 people were injured, including children. Some were hospitalized. There were fires in many communities. The Lindsey Graham bill, along with other strong sanctions steps by our partners against the source of this war – against Russia – is an extremely powerful tool that can stop this terrorist war and bring Russia to the point where it has to make peace. Sanctions must be strong so that all efforts for peace – including our joint diplomatic efforts with the United States, Europe, and our other friends – can succeed. I thank the members of the House of Representatives, senators, and leaders of the U.S. Congress for supporting this legislation. Russia needs to end this war.
