There is some thing I 'd like to write. If you post a profile picture that shows more body parts than would show in causal Friday clothes, I won't follow you. Just not into that.

Trump to America: I’ll Only Do My Job if Republicans Win The president is saying he'll only deliver aid to struggling Americans if they vote the way he wants next month. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ann Telanes. Everyone in the news.

Fellow Ohioans if you haven't figured it out already Vivek R, by widely airing the ad with Amy Acton's failed mother, has shown what a vicious slezebag he is. Do you want to have such a nothing-is-too-low man ruling our state? Remember, if Acton's mom cared, she would never publicize such things.

It's also worth stating Ukraine officials won't say it, but they're furious with Rubio and Greece. Negotiations had been taking place with Athens about air defence support and Kyiv was hopeful. Then Rubio visited Athens. Now Greece is outright refusing to send PAC-3 missiles.

1/3 Presidementia has been at it again - repeating all his old lies about Ukraine, such as: Trump claims $350bn aid given: actually only $115bn and the EU has given more. US got nothing: they got billions from NATO partners under PURL and a minerals deal from Ukraine.

This is little Anhelina, and her mum Inna. Both brutally murdered in a park outside Kharkiv yesterday teatime. They were among 6 killed when a cafe in the park in Nova Vodolaha was seemingly targeted by Russia. The number injured is 15, seven of whom are children.

Zelenskyy will fly to Norway this week to meet Witkoff/Kushner again. He will be asking why they've still not received already promised military supplies approved by Congress. It turns out Hegseth has delayed signing the permits says @washingtonpost.com

During the night Axios reports that President Zelenskyy made an offer which Ukraine was sure Trump would lap up. Kyiv would stop strikes on Russian refineries for a month in exchange for Patriot defence missiles. Did someone check with Putin? The US apparently refused the offer.

Another small landmark this Tuesday morning as I begin the 1,700th thread covering everything of note in Ukraine, battling for its very existence since February 2022. Thanks to every single reader who's helped me get this far. #TeamTim Let's go then on Day 1700

Thanks to Trump, Russia is now pretty full of itself.

Bring that No Kings energy! Make calls to help us flip a Congress seat in Virginia.

Sounds like the mother from hell. If that happened to Amy Acton at age 12, and how she has risen above her early traumas, then Man! That Amy Acton has grit!

Attention, Ohio voters: Yes, the Community Note is correct. We just fact-checked it.

Trump Goes Through the Looking Glass on Ukraine www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump's business deals with Putin are the stuff of Bond villains. Trump is trading money & diesel for the lives of Ukrainian civilians. Please read Tom Nichols piece. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Zelensky says Russia’s latest attack hit 28 substations and other key energy sites. He also reported Starlink/Starshield equipment failing at 130-161 km/h on parts of the front, hampering logistics and limiting the use of strike drones and Shahed interceptors. #Ukraine

The Supreme Court has, over the course of decades, legalized behavior that is poisonous to a functioning democracy, Leo J. Wise, a former Justice Department prosecutor, argues:

Trump is hyperfixated on men’s physiques, loves calling people “handsome,” adores the Village People and Elton John, and has a flair for gilded interiors. In May, @ashleyrparker.bsky.social wrote about the paradox of the president’s appreciation for gay culture:

Ukraine’s Interior Ministry says a Russian drone struck a park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, killing an infant and two women. At least 14 others were injured, including seven children. Families with children were in the park at the time. #Ukraine

Key origin countries include Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Belarus, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Kyrgyzstan, with a 2026 surge in recruits from Indonesia, Peru, Sierra Leone, and others.

The agency holds personal data for these recruits and is verifying 668 more. Russia's Defense Ministry has already signed 16,168 of its planned 18,500 contracts, on track to meet or exceed its quota.

At the Crimea Global conference, Dmytro Usov from Ukraine's POW Coordination Headquarters revealed that nearly 46,000 foreigners from 151 countries have contracted with Russia to fight Ukraine. suspilne.media/1431471-majz...

It was such a sunny, pleasant day in Ohio. What did YOU do with your family? Watch them burn or bleed out? If you have any soul, You must write your senator, representative, & Trump himself to dump support for Putin. Is Trump's deals worth America's conscience?

A Russian woman from St. Petersburg, where a number of targets were struck by Ukraine's Defense Forces,says she has been waiting for an official explanation from Russian authorities for two days She complains that "our walls were shaking as drones flew overhead& the explosions just kept coming" -

It looks to me like Putin hasn't allowed Trump to switch Starlink/Starshield back on yet. President Zelenskyy is clearly, and rightly, angry that on the frontline Ukraine's defence is hampered by restricted service. It costs lives, but the White House doesn't care.

More photos from the scene of the horrific attack on families about 40km from the centre of Kharkiv. One of the women killed is a 25 year old, thought to be the mother of the baby in the stroller, murdered by Russia. #RussiaIsATerroristState

By #Trump supporting and encouraging the #Putin tyranny, he is as much responsible for the murder of that mom and baby and injuries to 17 other kids as Putin is.

Should have seen this one coming. Trump is considering Putin's proposal that the two leaders meet with Russia's ally China to "seek a way to end" the war in Ukraine. @wsj.com reports Putin raised it during a call with Presidementia 10 days ago when he also sold diesel to Trump.

Hello again at the start of a new week. It's Day 1699 of the war in Ukraine. Just as Ukraine's army starts pushing the invaders back, Russia's sworn enemy comes to its rescue, Agent Krasnov (aka Trump) doing all he can to defeat Ukraine. Here's my new daily thread..

Election Day is just two weeks away — and we’ve got lots of ways you can make a difference in the midterms! Help us contact voters in the states and districts that will decide this election.

The New York City mayor deserves a new cult following—among pragmatists, @jonathanbchait.bsky.social argues.

COMMENTARY: Trump is Selling Out Ukraine to Putin The president is turning the U.S. into an enemy of Ukraine and an ally of Russia. Will the American people let him do it?

Nobody elected Elon Musk to anything. But Elon Musk has donated $366 million to Republicans in the 2025/2026 election cycle. $276 mil just since July 2026. Yup, too powerful for a democracy.

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

We are already ruled ( quietly) by an unelected oligarchy. Its time to stop depending on their tools. Its time to fight for the real American ideal: truth, liberty, respect for all people, love for e common good, not just for corporations & billionairs. substack.cothm/@carlynbecci...

* BREAKING * In Odesa, many injuries are feared after Russia hit a supermarket in the middle of the day. The drone flew into the Tavria B supermarket.

2/2 The scale of the attack in Kirovohrad region is hard to grasp. A 10-hour non-stop assault, officials say 360 drones used by Russia. There were hits at 26 locations. Critical infrastructure, transport enterprises and residential buildings were all hit. #RussiaIsATerroristState

You've found the start of THE daily thread covering all the important events happening in, & about, Ukraine. I've never missed a day of the entire all-out Russian invasion, documenting the news. If you admire my work, please say hello with a coffee (link in bio) It's Day 1695..

Probably the best, seemingly extemporaneous, speech on the Russian war ever. Poland, proud of you. #Ukraine substack.com/@marijnmarku...
