Europe: Watch it Russia! Once you agree to a ceasefire we’ll arm Ukraine to the teeth & send air support & troops to keep the peace Russia: Cool thanks for the heads up. We’ll escalate the killing now then & ensure no ceasefire ever happens so we can keep destroying Ukraine undisturbed 👌

I welcome today‘s show of support in Paris. However the hard truth remains: As long as the Coalition of the Willing insists they will only act after a ceasefire, they guarantee Russia will never accept a ceasefire.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

Militarizing immigration courts would shred due process. Military lawyers aren’t trained in asylum law, aren’t independent of the Pentagon, and would blur civilian–military lines. It risks unfair deportations, constitutional violations, and international backlash.

Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.
