BREAKING: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy TEARS into Trump's "obvious weakness" after the American President announced, in a stunning betrayal, that he will allow millions of tons of Russian diesel fuel to enter the global market. Putin's Puppet has hit a new low... "Peace never comes through weakness. Today, representatives of the U.S. Congress were in Kyiv – a bipartisan delegation – and I am grateful to them for visiting Ukraine at such a difficult time. They asked: what is needed to end the war? The answer must be strong," Zelenskyy wrote on X. "There must be sanctions under the Lindsey Graham bill, there must be support for Ukraine in protecting lives, and there must be pressure on Russia for its war. And today, there was a conversation between the leaders of America and Russia. A conversation that leads to something different." "Recently, there was a European decision to lift sanctions on Russian oligarchs. Since then, Russian strikes and the torment of people have only increased," he continued. "This past week alone, there was a brutal Russian missile strike on a residential building in Pryluky, aerial bombs were dropped on Kramatorsk – on ordinary city buses – and there have been constant attacks on Kyiv’s energy infrastructure and on the life-sustaining infrastructure in Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, and our other cities. Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds wounded." As ever when considering this war, it's worth remembering that Putin started this conflict for deeply unjust, vainglorious reasons. His dreams of reconstituting the U.S.S.R. or even Imperial Russia have resulted in over 2 million people being killed, injured, or reported missing. "The Russians are compensating for their inability to achieve their objectives on the battlefield with this kind of terror. This year, Russia is weaker on the battlefield than at any other point in the war," Zelenskyy continued. "That is why Putin is relying on terror. That is why he is relying on attempts to strike backroom deals to secure some form of pressure relief for Russia, in order to buy more time and more opportunities for war." The Russian dictator is engaged in a campaign of remorseless terrorism against the Ukrainian people, which makes Trump's announcement today that he will be allowing 300,000 tons of diesel fuel into the American and global markets, followed by another 500,000 and then 1,000,000, utterly inexcusable. Every dollar that flows into the Kremlin is a dollar being spent to bomb, murder, and maim innocent Ukrainians. "Any easing of sanctions against Russia without a clear and lasting de-escalation agreement with Russia is an obvious weakness," Zelenskyy went on. "It plays into Russia’s hands – allowing it to kill more, wage war for longer, have even less respect for America, and inflict even greater losses and damage on the world." "Ukraine is ready to take symmetrical de-escalatory steps, and the American team knows our position. Our strikes on Russian oil refineries and other oil facilities are a response to Russia’s years-long campaign of terror against Ukraine’s energy sector. Ukraine will not set Russian oil refineries on fire if Russia does not destroy our energy infrastructure. This is the kind of agreement we are proposing to America, and we believe the United States has enough power to achieve such a compromise." "Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilized world. Russia will 'repay' the diesel with further terror and perfidy. Allowing Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged. What is needed is real de-escalation with Russia on a reciprocal basis." "We count on America’s fair support for our defense of life, for our defense of people in Ukraine – and on the United States having a correspondingly strong conversation with Russia. A strong one, not a weak one," the Ukrainian President concluded. What do you think? Do you stand with Putin or Zelenskyy?

Pete Hegseth wants to turn an execution into a public spectacle for Americans and the world to watch. He dishonors both our nation and the position he holds. He is beyond unfit to lead the brave men and women of our Armed Forces. He must go.

Oh they are SCARED. They know they are going to lose the midterms and we hold the power. VOTE this November!
House Republican leadership has canceled all votes from now until after the midterm elections. This is so that they can spend as much time as possible defending Trump's failed policies to angry voters in their home districts.

Thomas Massie just went scorched Earth on the House floor. He’s demanding mass prosecutions. “The co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein.” “The rapists.” “The pedophiles.” “The ones who financed it.” “The ones who covered it up.” And his second Epstein files bill would give state attorneys general the power to finally “prosecute these crimes.” No matter what Trump’s DOJ says. “I’ve talked to the attorney general of New Mexico.” “There are crimes that occurred at Zorro Ranch for which there is no statute of limitations.” “We can still bring these pedophiles to justice.” @RepThomasMassie

He helped Trump become “president” by manipulating the voting tabulations with his Starlink satellite network. He even bragged about it to his ex-girlfriend Ashley St Claire. It’s all being exposed in the upcoming documentary simply entitled, “Musk.”

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this. It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership. Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Mike Johnson Sent Congress Home for Seven Weeks. Try That at Your Job. An impeachment vote, an AI crisis, a misconduct reform, and 700 of his own bills left sitting on the desk. Any other employee in America would be fired by lunch. open.substack.com/pub/mitcht…

Patients want to know that decisions about their health care are being made by doctors, not by Wall Street investors. If we’re going to lower costs and un-rig the health care system, we need to stop the corporate takeover of medicine. I’ve got a bill to get the job done.

My Epstein investigation started as a look at billionaire Leon Black's tax dodging. I found Black was Epstein's single largest source of funding - $170 million that financed human trafficking and sex crimes. No surprise Black is doing everything in his power to dodge questions from Congress.

Kash Patel claims that no one at the FBI was fired because they worked on an investigation into President Trump. And suggests that thousands of agents just, coincidentally, retired. This is false and absurd. We will investigate the wrongful termination of hundreds of FBI agents.
