This whole thing is ridiculous. #DOJ is saying that after the congresswoman assaulted #ICE agents they then gave them a tour?

And why did it take 10 days for them to decide that Rep #LaMonicaMcIver had assaulted federal agents?

Oh right, because #KristiNoem started lying about it on TV. Got it.

If Russia does not stop the killings, release prisoners, or set unrealistic conditions, it means they are prolonging the war. Russia deserves to be treated accordingly by Europe, America, and the rest of the world.

Putin reappeared before loyal journalists, claiming Russia supports halting hostilities—but only if the “most effective path to peace” is found. He says Moscow is ready for a ceasefire memorandum and wants “compromises” with Ukraine.

He talks of reviving talks like in Istanbul 2022, showing Russia’s demands haven’t changed.

Noting that “everyone needs to make sacrifices” to help the economy, President Trump pledges to donate half of his bribes to the U.S. Treasury.

A new study shows 60% of Americans don’t have basic necessities to live. My hot economic take is everyone making $100K or less should pay $0 federal income tax. They pay enough in state, county, city, property, sales, & toll tax.

That kept money will go into local economies, ignite small biz growth, & get people out of debt. Make up any gap from lost federal tax by taxing billionaires & billion dollar corps at 1940-1980 rates.

200M Americans win. 800 billionaires are still billionaires.

The amount of money that the World Health Organization is asking for an entire year in its already reduced budget, $2.1 billion, is what the world spends on its military every 8 hours, director-general Tedros says in his opening remarks at the World Health Assembly #WHA in Geneva.

Polish customs seized 5 metric tons of tires for civilian Boeing aircraft which were due to transit through Belarus and Russia in an attempt to circumvent EU sanctions.

Thank you, Poland, for your vigilance! I've written repeatedly that the issue of Russia looking for workarounds against sanctions is important. Sanctions won't work if Russia finds loopholes in them.

"And yet 'journalists' such as Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios focus on Biden’s cognitive state months after he left office, without a word about Trump’s erratic and unpredictable behavior as well as signs that he is mentally unstable. …

If the media wants to reclaim its role as a bulwark against tyranny, it must first acknowledge its complicity."
