As of mid-2025, as Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine enters its fourth fall season, Ukraine's military is gripped by a deep manpower crisis, most acute in the ranks of its infantry.
The Ukrainian Navy destroyed a speedboat of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, killing seven Russian soldiers; Drones struck railway infrastructure in Russia's Rostov Oblast overnight on Sept. 3; and more.
💯❗️
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
This is how it's done! They were Warned! Love it!

The House GOP released this page as part of their Epstein file dump. Nothing to see here. When the White House sent the Files over to Congress, they pulled a fast one. They sent Congress a bunch of stuff we already knew about, and redacted the rest. If you think that’s bullshit, you’re not alone.
"Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors – and for survivors. No one else is involved. ...Because history is watching – and so are the women who will come after us." Epstein survivor
JUST IN: Epstein victims and survivors announce that they will be releasing their own "list."
Wow … if the Russians ever figured out what they were doing, they might posed a bit of a threat.
Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”

HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Cruelty perfected! share.newsbreak.com/etlu19kf
The President saying “we’re going in” — about deploying the military to an American city just to terrorize its people — should be immediately impeachable. Full stop.
It’s all about making people afraid of him and submissive, it’s from the dictator playbook, make them afraid of you so they will be too afraid to push back or protest, yep, the Project2025 playbook is being followed, in about a year, we all will be just his subjects, if we let him!
WAKE UP! The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard. Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway. Watch. Share. Don’t look away. (Link in 🧵)

Trump says the media doesn't show Jan 6 for what it was he says "people in the crowd said it was the most beautiful day. There was love in the crowd. We know from the ppl who lost their lives and the survivors that isn't true! The national guard should have been called then! Not now!

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Jeffrey Epstein had a system for manipulating people, which is just one more thing he and Trump had in common. Watch Jess Michaels share her story on the LP Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM

The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
Trump loses again. Are his court losses in the quadruple-digits yet? Or did they surpass that long ago? It's hard to keep count.

There's speculation at the Pentagon and elsewhere that President Trump this afternoon will announce that the Department of Defense is going to revert back to being the Department of War (created in 1789 and dissolved in 1947).

Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.

Putin and Xi Jinping held bilateral talks in Beijing. Xi welcomed Putin as a “longtime friend” and praised their partnership as a model for interstate relations, emphasizing their roles as WWII victors. Putin highlighted the strategic nature of their ties, recalling Xi’s recent visit to Moscow.
A model of the Magura V7 naval drone has been added to the strength exhibition at Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry. This drone, which destroyed a third of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and became the first to down a Su-30 fighter from the sea, will now greet foreign visitors at the ministry’s entrance.
Alongside his European buddy Fico, Putin urged Eastern European countries to cut off gas and electricity supplies to Ukraine, claiming it would force Kyiv to “understand the limits” of its actions against Russian infrastructure.
There are gasoline shortages in Luhansk, Ukraine, temporarily occupied by the russian fascist invaders. Ukrainian defenders have caused widespread devastation to oil refineries, pipelines and pumping stations in the Russian Federation.

Trump is very effective in his service of Russia & China. 1. Through his unjustified trade war, he is alienating the whole world. 2. He is driving India into the arms of China & Russia. 3. He has given new life to the hostile Shanghai Cooperation Organization (w. China & Russia).
Is anybody not convinced that Trump supports Putin in Ukraine and not the US? Trump stopped ALL assistance to Ukraine. He only allows arms sales to Ukraine so that US arms manufacturers do not lose out altogether. He poses NO conditions on Russia & does not know what he will do. /1
