🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

This answer was so fucking good:
Talarico: “My decision to stay home for a week sent my opponent and his conspiracy theorists spiraling.
I opened up social media and learned I had apparently dropped out of the race, had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that I had DIED.
False claims got millions of views online - and this is an example of what I call the ‘rage economy.’ Billionaires who own these platforms get rich, we all get angry, and nobody’s life gets any better.
Conspiracy theories don’t put food on the table, put gas in the tank, or improve our communities.
I’m going to stay focused on the very real problems facing Texans.”

ZELENSKYY: "We have lost an ally in America. They have chosen their side. Not ours, not even in the middle. They have chosen the wrong side of history."

BREAKING: Trump campaign employee Rhein Amacher, who helped spread the fabricated James Talarico story, just posted this and then quickly DELETED it.
The post appears to contain a death threat against a sitting U.S. congresswoman.
Will Kash Patel and the @FBI investigate this, or will they look the other way?

BREAKINGNEWS: Democrats are now planning to investigate election interference by social media influencers that created a lie about James Talarico that backfired after Lindner Center of Hope confirmed thier lie. @nicksortor and anyone else involved are cooked. 🚨

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

Here is the dream team behind the fake story that Talarico secretly went to an Ohio mental health center.
Nick Sortor has an open warrant for his arrest back home in Kentucky for violating probation.
He was convicted of driving while intoxicated, harassing a police officer, stalking a woman, kidnapping her dog, and sexually assaulting her, among other crimes.
