With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

Courts declared his tariffs illegal and yet Trump kept finding new ways to raise prices on everyone. Why was it so important for him to keep the tariffs? They raised prices, slowed the economy, hurt him. Why didn't he just let them expire, or roll them back? finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

ICE goons box a mother with her children in their car. ICE "takes" the mother, leaving her children on the side of the road. An ICE goon then takes her children in a white sedan. Where are the children now? Newark, NJ

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

So the president claims not to know who did something that should only be doable, if at all, with the president’s knowledge, if not by the president himself.

Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells
