This is just not true. NIH has an office for women’s health and research!!! This White House has never done anything on women’s health. President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden launched the first ever White House women’s health initiative in 2024. What is true is that the NIH spends less than ten percent of its yearly budget on women’s health. The president should focus on that. That’s the truth.
🔥🚨 JUST IN — President Trump says he was SHOCKED that the Government didnt have a HEALTH division for WOMEN! "The executive order I'll sign in just a moment will direct the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a new women's health division within the National Institutes of Health." "I don't know why they haven't done things. There's so many things that would seem so basic. Think of it—a women's health division, and it hasn't been done, but it's been done under Trump."

Trump engaged in a thoughtful, extended conversation with—nothingness. He suddenly stopped, waved, saluted, offered greetings, and chatted for a bit with the empty space. 😁🤭 The cameraman deliberately zoomed out to show that there was absolutely no one to be seen for hundreds of meters in any direction. Apparently, Trump received a visit from the very same "invisible person"—the kind of encounter he had previously mocked Joe Biden for supposedly having. t.me/MirovichMedia/15645

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.

This video needs to go viral. It is so true in every way. Trump is controlled by Vladimir Putin. He clearly puts Russia before America. @ProjectLincoln

New Talarico ad running statewide: "Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right. "I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile. "I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."

🇺🇦 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.

"Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much." - President Trump, earlier today
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

JD Vance has no shame, we know that, but he stooped to a new low when he stood in front of a national audience and claimed he's not seen any corruption out of this White House. In doing so, he's gaslighting Americans into thinking they're not seeing it either. Trust your eyes, the corruption is as clear as day. (link to my full news coverage in comments)

🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.” The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

Trump and Musk are monsters.
Russians have just murdered a baby and two women that were walking in a public park in Kharkiv. This is the face of genocide in the 21st century. Now, under U.S. protection, Russia is inflicting massacres at the highest level of the war, all across Ukraine.

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means: Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests. Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election. Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk. Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
