Today in Budapest, Hungarian authorities took seven Ukrainian citizens hostage. The reasons are still unknown, as well as their current well-being, or the possibility of contacting them. These seven Ukrainians are employees of state-owned Oschadbank, who were operating two bank cars transiting between Austria and Ukraine and carrying cash as part of regular services between state banks. In fact, we are talking about Hungary taking hostages and stealing money. If this is the “force” announced earlier today by Mr Orban, then this is a force of a criminal gang. This is state terrorism and racketeering. We have already sent an official note demanding an immediate release of our citizens. We will also address the European Union with the request to provide a clear qualification of Hungary’s unlawful actions, hostage-taking, and robbery. Statement by Oschadbank:

Orbán is kidnapping Ukrainian bank employees to manufacture a conflict and save his electoral campaign. 7 Ukrainians were grabbed in Budapest, Hungary, while transiting cash between Austria & Ukraine; condition & whereabouts unknown. Kyiv demands immediate release.

We call this "vote spliting," or what Jill Stein is always paid to do when she runs.

Four democrats voted AGAINST a war powers resolution that would’ve forced Trump to seek congressional approval to continue waging Israel’s war on Iran.

Henry Cuellar (TX)
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Juan Vargas (CA)

The resolution failed 219-212.

🙄

Remember when Trump blamed Biden and Zelensky when he realized how fast he was burning through interceptor missiles? Brace yourselves: He was lying to hide his own failure.

WTAF?
These people have truly lost it. I’m all for practicing whatever religion you choose but not in my house and especially when you worship a pedophile felon.
You are in OUR house. You look like a bunch of idiots. What a legacy 🤮. You people are creeps.

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein. YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

Really worth watching this.

Screenshot of an X post by Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher, a Democrat running against Lauren Boebert, criticizing the sharing of photos from closed-door or classified hearings and referencing tweets about members of Congress during active insurrections. The post quote-tweets Benny Johnson, who shared a wide photo of a hearing room labeled “Full Shot of the Clinton Epstein Testimony currently ongoing,” with a name placard reading “Rep. Boebert” visible on the table.

Boebert is a disgrace.

Screenshot of an X post by Ron Filipkowski stating, “The first US Cabinet happened in 1789,” quote-tweeting Secretary Sean Duffy, who posted “Best cabinet since 1776 🇺🇸” alongside a group photo of Cabinet members posing together in a formal room.

Why do they always confuse the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution?

Trump Administration Dragged After U.S. Military Shoots Down One Of Our Own Drones Over Texas

The incompetence is staggering.

FT charts Trump's transformation into a regime-change Neocon, in five easy steps. Benjamin Netanyahu is behind each one of them.

The federal government stopped New Mexico in 2019 from continuing to investigate Jeffrey Epstein and his Zorro Ranch.

Today, its legislators and its Attorney General are seeking the truth.

The Hillary Clinton deposition backfired big time on Trump and the GOP. She never met Epstein and it only brought more attention to Trump being all over the files, and the cover up.

Also, GOP still thinks blaming "the Clintons" for whatever is effective, but we are so long past that.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

A Tale of Two Teams—Why Trump’s Joke Wasn't Funny Locker room "jokes" contribute to a bigger problem with how women are treated.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.

Warner Bros. Discovery says Paramount Skydance's offer is superior to Netflix's The disclosure starts a match period of four business days for Netflix to propose revisions to top Paramount's offer.

MAGA Voters Explain What It Would Take To Stop Supporting Trump

Better question is, why haven't they already?

It does seem like the planes and the pilots of all the key power ministries (to use the Russian phrase) are being monopolized by a mix of boondoggles and booty calls of the Directors and Secretaries.

Screenshot of an X post quoting a Fox News interview in which a host says Democrats lead congressional vote preference by six points, and JD Vance responds that Fox News polling is often the worst. The image shows Vance seated across from a Fox News anchor on a studio set.

As a person who loves his films this contrarian shit is really trying my patience

Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to the GOP's effort to impeach Joe Biden. Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges and was sentenced to six years in prison. After a few months, he just mysteriously disappeared.
