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

We need a legal view on this clip and the comments by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon about his jury. My understanding is any comments that identify or single out individual jurors (even by a characteristic applying to only one of them e.g. "you mean the Muslim fella") cross a line and are likely to be treated as contempt. Courts and the Attorney General take a strict view of risks to jury integrity, especially in high-profile trials. Consequences can include fines, imprisonment (up to two years for contempt), a collapsed trial, or further charges. Can any experts out there advise, has he committed contempt again? Thoughts?

Since the American President announced the energy ceasefire a week ago, Russia has deliberately attacked Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times. Last night alone, there were strikes on substations in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without power. Energy workers and repair crews are working virtually around the clock to restore electricity supply. Overnight, the Russians also struck residential buildings in our regions. As of now, 12 people have been reported injured, including two children. Two people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. This morning, there was a strike on an agricultural enterprise in Volyn. All necessary services are working at the site. In total, over this past week, the Russians have attacked Ukraine with almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic. The main targets of these strikes are energy facilities – the Russians are trying to cause a blackout. And America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting. It is because of this position of Russia’s that the war continues, not because Ukraine is rightfully defending itself. It is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps.

🚨 Ukraine has gathered clear proof that Starlink is being ordered to scupper Ukrainian operations. It is horrific betrayal. This is why all US technology needs to be replaced by European technology for critical European systems - UK included. ALL of it.
Latest: ​Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone." He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population." He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory." "They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this." He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

June 18: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $500K in Boeing stock. Same day Boeing gets $880M US Navy contract. June 24: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $250K in Palantir stock. Same day Palantir gets $45.8M government contract. In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and he would have faced at least 2 years in jail.

Israeli settlers, all men, brutally attacked a US journalist, a woman, in an attempted lynching. The Israeli military provided the attackers with cover using tear gas and machine gun fire. Palestinians intervened to rescue her from being beaten to death.

90% of England’s water industry is foreign owned. The result has been low investment, high customer bills, raw sewage in rivers, over 1,200 criminal convictions, and harms to nature, health and national security. Public ownership is needed. Watch the Minister's reply.

Trump: "The NCAA complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine — who's the governor of Maine here?" Janet Mills: "Yes, I'm here." Trump: "Aren't you going to comply?" JM: "I'll comply with state and federal laws." Trump: "You'd better, because you're not getting any federal funding at all." JM: "See you in court." Trump: "Enjoy your life after your term as governor ends, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics."

🚨 BREAKING: Abdul-Sayed: "I can't wait to sit across from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and have a serious conversation with him. He uses complicated terminology he doesn't understand. Since I'm a medical school graduate, I understand it somewhat. I hold an MD and a master's in public health. He's just a guy who takes his kids swimming at Sheets Creek."

A Brummie woman called out Ryan Bridge from Raise the Colours, telling him: “You have a nonce and a murderer.” She was referring to Billy Allison, the co-founder of Raising the Colours and a friend of Ryan Bridge, who is on remand awaiting trial for murder, and Ryan's other mate, Ben Cullen, from the Oxfordshire branch, who has been charged with multiple counts of making indecent images of children.

Tell that, Mr @SecWar, to the families of 44 Polish soldiers who died securing the tough Ghazni province.
Hegseth on Afghanistan: I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters. It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there. Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations. In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths. t.co/x4tGhxJiFG

She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her
At the funeral of one of the Ukrainian kids murdered by Russians this week, while the U.S. hobbled the country's defenses. Elizaveta Sorochyshyna, age 6. Relatives and friends left stuffed toys near her coffin. Elizaveta was one of three children among the 23 people killed by russians that day.
