President Zelenskyy: More than ten countries have already turned to us for support in defending against Iranian Shahed drones. "These are, in fact, the same attack drones that the Iranian regime supplied to Russia and trained Russians to use against the civilian population of Ukraine."

Some relaxing (really!) content for Friday night: The video of Ukrainian group performing at Britain's Got Talent. This is really cool! The judges agreed.

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton on US easing sanctions on Russia for lower oil prices: I think they drank a lot of vodka in the Kremlin when they heard that news…Obviously, you want to do what you can to bring the price of oil down. Giving a gift to the Kremlin - wrong answer.

EXCLUSIVE | Kristi Noem awarded $1 billion in contracts to build the Mexican border wall to a company accused of smuggling illegal immigrants into the country, giving them guns, and allowing them to take part in a wild shootout.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Who wore it better? #PedoPals

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

where’s my money 😔

How do you know that @katmabu.bsky.social has momentum? Because big money interests are panicking and trying to slander her just 3 days before the primary. We can’t let these folks win. Vote Kat.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Two headlines. Same newspaper. Just days apart. According to the *Financial Times*, the Kremlin has backed covert efforts to keep Viktor Orbán in power. Around the same time, voices in Washington described Orbán’s leadership as “essential” for US interests. Different capitals. Same conclusion. 1/2

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Folks, 📅 2026 primaries are coming up fast. Check your state’s date. Make sure you’re registered. Make a plan to vote. Too much is riding on people sitting this one out. Stay ready so nobody decides the future for you. iwillvote.com

Disturbing comments by Palantir’s CEO

Sir 💥

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

👍👍

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

🚨 BREAKING: Tesla's "Unsupervised Robotaxis" (no safety drivers) were cut from 8 to 4. Only 1 is in service while the others aren't operating. "Supervised Robotaxis", with safety drivers had 14 crashes & are 4x less safe than humans. Why launch the Cybercab if FSD isn't working properly? #$TSLA

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

Because the central truth about Donald Trump is still somehow missed by millions of Americans: beyond the lies, beyond the cruelty, beyond the corruption, the man is simply wildly incompetent. A mountain of mythmaking built by decades of

Attorneys at the Education Department’s civil rights office describe working in a “dismissal factory.” Most discrimination complaints filed by students’ families have been dismissed without ever being investigated, records show. (Published Dec. 2025)

We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by. Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.

Students have more power than politicians want to admit. Your rent is here. Your tuition is here. Your vote should be here too. Early voting in Chicago has already started. Don’t sit this one out.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

"Trump chose to go to war and has taken explicit satisfaction in his power of life and death. War is a grave step after all other options have been exhausted. That Trump had other courses of action is well known. That he preferred this one is hard to unsee." My column. www.ft.com/content/2f3e...

❗️🇺🇦 Almost the entire territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region has been liberated. It remains to complete three small areas and clear two more, — the head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff, Major General Komarenko.

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school. Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence. Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction

More ICE human rights violations. People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations. And it gets worse… 1/2

Trump’s legacy will be he was the first American President who was a complete moron AND who was willing to improvise his horseshit real-time in press conferences. It continues to be both fascinating and horrifying.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why? Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

Marco Rubio says the Iranian regime is conducting terrorism using missiles and one-way attack drones against energy infrastructure and civilians. But that's exactly what the Russian regime does against Ukraine. So why does the USA attack Iran but make endless excuses for Russia?

After militants of the russian terrorist state provided intelligence to Iran for targeting drones and missiles on the U.S. military, Trump telephoned the terrorist leader Putin. Trump – a Russian asset for 40 years – said of Putin: "He wants to be helpful."

He’s a psychopathic sadistic liar.
