Trump just explained why he's illegally banning CNN, Politico and MSNOW from the White House:
"because they never write a good story."

Restricting press freedom is something you see in authoritarian regimes, not in democratic countries.

Something is happening re Russia European leaders have all received very concerning intelligence reports clearly.

I canโt believe how little media coverage any of this is getting. Russia is escalating across Europe, Poland is warning of possible Russian strikes on NATO countries, and Lithuania is preparing evacuation routes. You wouldnโt know it from our media

Thank you @CaolanReports. I wish I had been wrong. But I wasnโt. And now the clock is running down on where & when Russia will strike next while the Ukrainian people are paying the highest of prices ๐ข
I never want to hear the term โRussia hoaxโ again.
Journalists like @carolecadwalla raised the alarm about Russian influence for years and were called lunatics. Now they are fully vindicated.
A Russian oligarch literally helped bankroll the US Presidentโs sonโs wedding.

Itโs all okay, Ovechkin says heโs for โpeace and loveโ!
You stole my home, killed my friends and fucking electrocuted me, asshole.
You killed children in our neighbourhood while torturing us in Nazi-style filtration camps, starving us and sentencing me to death.
How about you go fuck yourself, and take your hollow โpeace and loveโ bullshit with you.

While, for now, we are waking up peacefully, sipping our lattes and eating our avocado toast, Ukrainians in Odesa are waking up to this.

I have been saying this since 2022: "Putin is going to attack the Baltics to kill Article 5 forever."
Here it is:
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on NATO:
I do not want Slovakia to become part of some military conflict because of Article 5.
Yes, we are in NATO, we respect that, we care about cooperation and fulfilling our commitments, but as prime minister I will do everything to ensure that Slovakia is never dragged into a military conflict.

Ovechekin cant have it both ways. He cant say that "Well, I'm not in politics. I canโt say who's right and who's wrong,โ and then appear in political ad for Putin.

Russia is waging a genocidal war on Ukraine. Aleksandr Ovechkin said: "I am Russian. I support my country."
The Washington Capitals and the NHL cannot walk away from this. They are supporting war crimes and crimes against humanity by allowing Ovechkin to play hockey.

โIโm Russian. I support my countryโ

Something unusual is happening in Paris. ๐ซ๐ท
Macron has summoned Franceโs political leaders and presidential candidates to the รlysรฉe tomorrow amid what his office calls a โrapid deterioration of the international situation.โ
What makes this particularly noteworthy is who will brief them:
Franceโs domestic, foreign and military intelligence services, national security officials โ and the countryโs energy leadership.
The agenda covers the Middle East, Ukraine, energy security and the consequences for France.
French reporting says the meeting follows a DGSE intelligence briefing earlier this week. One diplomatic source described the situation simply:
โWe are entering a different world.โ
This does not mean Paris expects an imminent war or that every recent incident in Europe is connected.
But governments rarely bring political rivals and intelligence chiefs into the same room unless they believe the strategic environment has changed enough that everyone needs to understand the same picture.
Worth watching very closely.
