I predicted a month ago that Trump was going to say exactly this. I said he was going to try and blame Ukraine for diesel prices and tell Zelenskyy to stop. And here it is.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

#BREAKING: Sen Tammy Duckworth: “If you have a different name on your birth certificate than is on your drivers license, you CANNOT vote, and so for the 69 MILLION American WOMEN who took their husband’s names, you cannot vote. That birth certificate is not valid. By the way, military IDs will not be valid for you to be able to vote, neither will your REAL ID…So you have to go in with a passport that matches your current ID, and you know how hard it is to get a passport? Number one, it’s expensive and number two, theres such a backlog in the State Department, some people are waiting 3-6 months to get a passport. And so, think about the 69 million American women who married and took their husband’s name, you can no longer vote under the #SAVEAct…and in order to have housing for young people who…don’t see home ownership as being something that they can achieve, he’s going to hold women who are married and took their husband’s name hostage.” 🤦♀️

McRaven writes that throughout his career as a senior officer, he never once hesitated to provide his best military advice even when it contradicted the secretary or the president. He never feared that candid advice would end his career. He describes that honest engagement as the mechanism that kept senior leaders from making poor military decisions.
The firings of Donahue, George, Brown, Franchetti, and the others dismantle that mechanism. They send a message to every officer still in uniform: the cost of honest advice is your career. Hegseth says he is trying to "revive the warrior ethos and restore trust in our military." McRaven - who has more warrior ethos in his service record than Hegseth has had in his career - says the opposite is happening. The experienced voices the president needs to avoid military miscalculation are being shown the door. No explanation. No congressional notification until Democrats wrote it into the budget. No accountability.
"The president and the secretary of defense have a right to remove officers, but also an obligation to explain their actions." - ADM (ret) William H. McRaven

THIS JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has decided to take away the rank from all military Chaplins- because they're not ‘warfighters’. Since WW One, US Chaplins have won 5 Medals of Honor, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.

🚨 so let me get this straight..
Qatar gave the US a Boeing 747 in 2025..
the Air Force spent $400 million of your tax dollars modifying it..
and now it's being painted gold.. red.. white.. and dark blue.. to fly over the White House on July 4th..
America's 250th birthday..
the permanent Air Force One replacements are still delayed.. Boeing can't finish them.. so this Qatar-gifted bridge jet is the plan..
and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..
the gold isn't a standard Air Force One color.. it's never been on a presidential aircraft before.. it's the same gold on Trump's buildings.. his lobbies.. his brand..
so the plane your country didn't buy.. modified with $400 million you didn't vote to spend.. is about to fly over your head in the color scheme of one man's personal aesthetic.. on the day America celebrates being a republic..
foreign gift → $400 million in taxpayer modifications → gold paint → national birthday flyover..
the rules only apply until you're the one making them.
I'll share more details shortly so turn on notifications, this is VERY important.

Pete Hegseth just removed four decorated Army Colonels from a promotion list they earned through decades of service. Two are Black. Two are women. The Army Secretary called their records “exemplary." Hegseth called it “meritocracy" while overriding him.
When you purge the best officers in the world because they don't fit your preferred demographic, you’re not defending the country. You’re betraying the values that define it.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death.
Further analysis will be conducted, including on a second device.
Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were arrested on scene yesterday and are in custody in connection with this matter. The NYPD is working on this investigation with our partners at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI through our Joint Terrorism Task Force.
I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects.

BREAKING: Trump is now threatening Netflix of consequences if they don’t fire Susan Rice.
Important context: Netflix is in a bidding war with Paramount for Warner Brothers. There are rumors that Trump may block the bid by Netflix.
This is exactly how dictators act. How are Republicans OK with this?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

May Police Officer Didarul Islam’s memory be a blessing.
Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department.
He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today.
We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy.
