A devastating 9 minutes in which President Zelenskyy sets out what Ukraine is currently facing, to Senators Blumenthal, Tillis and colleagues.
Thank you, @SenBlumenthal and @SenThomTillis, for the opportunity to meet with you and your colleagues from both parties and both chambers of Congress. I informed them about Russia’s brutal “shahed” drone attack in the Kharkiv region, where Russia killed six people, including a mother and her child, who was just over a year old. I showed the horrifying photos from the scene – a child killed in a stroller… This is how Russia responds to sanctions waivers and reduced pressure.
I also explained where things stand with intelligence sharing and Starlink operations in Ukraine. Unfortunately, we received no early warning from our partners about the first wave of the Russian ballistic missile attack last night. And we still face speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services in different parts of the front. No explanation for either of these issues has been provided to Ukraine by the American side.
Our teams will follow up on everything discussed today. I thank everybody who participated in this call for their strong support.

Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them.
The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms. washingtonsun.com/economy/tr…

unfathomable damage done to America. You could have abundant, cheap, emission-free electricity flowing to your home right now if it weren't for these people.
Ralph Nader, 1997: “When we came out against nuclear power in the early '70s, the government had predicted that there would be 1,000 nuclear plants by the year 2000 in the United States, and there's 109 and shrinking, as more and more get shut down.” pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline…

🎯 Russia is a failed nation, a terror state, a mafia pretending to be a country, a people infected with an imperial virus, a gas station with nukes that barely has any gas left, a Chinese vassal that needs perpetual war to stay intact. It should be quarantined, not elevated.
This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China.

It's not hard to work out the playbook here: acquire a widely used model of voting machine, hack it, and then one of three possibilities:
– don't disclose the vulnerability until after the voting is done, creating pressure for votes cast using that model to be discarded as insecure;
– disclose it just before the vote and demand that the machines not be used, throwing the election into chaos;
– use the disclosure as justification for federal forces to physically seize the voting machines, with the same result.
Whichever scenario they had in mind, it's possible, maybe even likely, that this represents preparation for events never seen before in a Western democracy.
I'd be interested to know what @C_C_Krebs thinks about all this...
Yeah well. We tried to warn everyone.
Donald Trump has abandoned the Western order, turning America into a Russian ally, @RadioFreeTom argues: theatln.tc/ZkAeQt3l

I'll be honest I am very skeptical about the GOP losing seats.
Majority of battleground state races have advantage for democrats within the margin of error.
Republicans have 3 times more money for advertisement than democrats.
Democrats have no real social media platform, everything is just flooded by Republican influencers, YouTube, Facebook, twitter.

Russia now literally empowering Iran with American money. Incredible success
Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:
Russia has no intention of abandoning the implementation of its agreements with Iran in the economic and investment spheres.
Our specialists are gradually returning to the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
There are also major prospects for cooperation in the extraction and transportation of hydrocarbons.

Eventually, a complete and certain humiliation of Trump voters will be necessary for society to move forward.
