Without vital air defense interceptors, innocent Ukrainian civilians will suffer spiraling death & destruction from Putin’s bombing. Hegseth & Trump bear blame for their blood. Their complicity & cruelty stain America’s moral standing & national security. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

OPINION: For many Democrats, leaving the ballot blank instead of voting for El-Sayed is an act of dignity. detroitnews.com/story/opinio…

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) & Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have alarming readout of their conversation with Vlodymyr Zelenskyy:
“Pres. Zelenskyy confirmed that critical Starlink services remain degraded, including on systems traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour, impeding Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian drones. He also reported disruptions to U.S. intelligence sharing concerning early warning of Russian ballistic missile launches. As a result of these disruptions, civilians – children – are dying"

Republicans have passed just one major defining piece of legislation in the past two years.
Yet, not one Republican wants to utter its name during the midterm campaigns.
Why? Because it was such a failure.
The bill was the "One Big Beautiful Bill".
It cut over $130 billion in Medicaid funding for rural areas. Rural hospitals are struggling so much that they're shutting down.
It caused millions of Americans to lose their healthcare. Medical debt and illnesses are leading causes of bankruptcy in the US.
It kicked over 1 million hungry children off of food assistance.
It did all of this to shift a greater burden onto the poorest Americans while giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest. The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the bottom 90%.
It is exploding the deficit. The deficit was $2 trillion this year, and the OBBB will add trillions more to the deficit in the coming years.
So instead of calling it the OBBB, they're calling it the "Working Family Tax Cuts" to make it sound like a good thing.
Those tax cuts for working families are small. The average tax refund increased by $350. But the average household paid $1,500 in tariffs last year. You weren't taxed less. You were taxed more.
The no-tax-on-tips and overtime weren't as advertised and expire in December 2028. The corporate and billionaire tax breaks are permanent. That shows who Republicans are really working for.
Why would anyone want two more years of that?

This is insane. The level of overt, proud racism, hatred and bigotry in today's Republican Party is a stain on every leader in it and it will never ever wash away.

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

An ICE agent in Portland, Maine, tells a legal observer that she is a “domestic terrorist” for peacefully recording him.
The agent tells the legal observer that she will be added to a “nice little database.” (2026)

Washington Post has released series of new polling this morning
Perhaps this is the most striking finding:
OSSOFF: Now maybe you saw Trump so desperate he's begging Putin for diesel. At the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign.
The president's son-in-law and the president's business partner are brokering the sale of Russian oil fields to the first family's friends. The same friends who have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses

DC pundits act like Rogers is a Romney Republican when he’s really the worst of all worlds a corrupt, Iran war cheerleading, MAGA conspiracist.
If Trump tries to stay in power in 29 Rogers will be telling his boat buddies it’s better than muslim socialism. A despicable figure.

Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

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."
