Ukraine agreed to Trump's ceasefire proposal. russia didn't even bother to respond.
Yet Ukraine faces threats to intelligence sharing and Starlink disruptions, while Trump eases sanctions on russia.
Is this what “peace through strength” looks like?

The Ukrainian people are the victims of this war, not its perpetrators. That simple historical fact eludes some in this administration, so it must be restated again and again.
Putin’s Kremlin isn’t just Ukraine’s enemy. It’s America’s enemy.
Whatever it is that drives the Trump administration’s animosity toward Ukraine, that hostility represents a grotesque moral failing. It isn’t just strategically incomprehensible; it betrays America’s values and traditions. nationalreview.com/corner/th…

We stand with Israel against those who seek its destruction. We should stand with Ukraine against Russian aggression, too.
Maybe she can get a job back on Fox News.

Funny. A Russian bot called ”I, Robot.” 😂
Thank you for making the internet a better place, even if only for a little while.
When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

Here is some relevant text of US law requiring the president to certify that Russia has reached an agreement *accepted by Ukraine* to withdraw its forces and cease hostilities before the president can resume the importation of Russian oil. (There is no such agreement.) Even then, there are lengthy timetables before such importation can occur, allowing Congress to overrule the president with a resolution of disapproval.
High gas prices in the US are due to Trump's war with Iran, so Trump has to look for a scapegoat. I know! Blame it on Ukraine.
Axios: Trump made a diesel fuel deal with Russia after President Zelensky ignored half a dozen U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, a U.S. official said.
“Zelensky is misreading the room. By continuing to hit refineries, he is eroding the good will that he has built with Trump over the last six months,” the official said.
Zelensky offered to stop the strikes if Russia halted attacks on Ukrainian power plants. But Trump wanted Ukraine to stop unilaterally, blaming the strikes for high U.S. gas prices and arguing they weren’t equivalent to Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power grid.

The eye of Hurricane Isaias continues to warm rapidly with further intensification into this morning. This happens with increased subsidence within the ring of intense convection. This hurricane is a big problem

As bad as Ken Paxton is now on corruption, policy, hyper-partisanship, character, personal life, divisiveness, dishonesty, slavish loyalty to Trump - he will be 10 times worse as a US Senator.
