New in PN: The tech industry will come to regret its embrace of Trump "A comprehensive anti-corruption, pro-consumer movement would inevitably target the industry and its indifference to the harms it creates. It could be incredibly potent, and tech barons would have no one to blame but themselves."

BREAKING A federal judge has just ordered the Epstein grand jury transcripts to be unsealed. Reminder: these are a relatively small portion of the Epstein files overall.

The Government Accountability Office says it has opened an investigation into Trump's Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte. Pulte has weaponized his office — accusing Federal Governor Lisa Cook and several prominent Democrats, including New York AG Letitia James, of mortgage fraud.

“.. At the center of President Trump’s contentious plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war isn’t peace: it’s profit.” @thedailybeast.bsky.social www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-2-tri...

2005–2020: With the rise of smartphones, people increasingly get their news from links on Facebook, Twitter and other social media; traditional media companies are bought by hedge funds, billionaires or conservative companies like Nexstar and Sinclair; the rest die

Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev claims he received a U.S. Chamber of Commerce award “for leadership in U.S.-Russia dialogue.” He noted over 150 U.S. companies still operate in Russia, 70% for more than 25 years, and blamed Biden’s policies for $300B in lost profits. Propaganda spin at full tilt.

Former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi believes the most realistic end to the war may be a prolonged pause in fighting, with both sides using the time to rearm and prepare for future clashes. "Victory is the collapse of the Russian empire. Anything less is just continued war," he stated.

The US is reportedly ready to recognize Russia’s control over Crimea & occupied Ukrainian regions to push its “peace deal.” Witkoff & Kushner are in Moscow with the offer. Hey Trump, peace is for Ukrainians to decide. They won’t surrender just so he can stage another media win for himself.

🦅 A kind of "dog-fight" of robots in the air over Ukraine - our interceptor drone managed to catch up and destroy the Russian "Lancet" at the moment when it tried to maneuver, evading the attack.

U.S. Army Sec. Driscoll warned EU diplomats that Russia is stockpiling long-range missiles, using it as leverage to push Trump’s peace plan. He claimed the growing arsenal could soon overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. Critics say this flips U.S. policy on its head, pressuring the victim to settle.

We’re seeing incredible results in the “Defenders vs Shaheds” initiative: 8, 10, and even 18 downed in a single night by one person. It’s clear how many skilled pilots we have among Ukrainian defenders — and we want to support every one of them. 1/3

Breaking on MS NOW: Rep. Eric Swalwell is suing Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, accusing him of violating privacy laws.

Q: You're not worried that Witkoff is too pro-Russian? TRUMP: Look, ahh -- this war could go on for years. Russia has got a lot more people. A lot more soldiers. So I think if Ukraine can make a deal it's a good thing.

🔞 Ukrainian weapon :))))

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Merz: I want to say very clearly: the end of this war is only possible with the full consent of Ukraine. Wars cannot be ended in a way that great powers decide over the heads of those directly affected by the aggression. This war can only be stopped with the consent of Ukraine and Europe.
