🇺🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: The issue of the Russian shadow fleet is an issue for the EU. It is about domestic legislation - changes to the laws that will allow confiscation of Russian oil after the detention of tankers subject to sanctions.

So as not to release them three to five days after the court decision.

COMMENTARY: The decision to go to war with Iran was a dangerous wager that force could achieve what diplomacy couldn’t.

It’s likely to cause Donald Trump trouble come November.

Well would you look at that

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

Zelensky said that Russia holds no battlefield initiative, with 30,000-35,000 Russian soldiers killed every month.

- abruptly drops support for Kurds in Syria in January
- now talking about supporting Iranian Kurdish separatists

Really fills with you with confidence in the long term planning that went into this :/

Iranian missiles cannot reach the U.S. not by nearly 10,000 miles. So when she says they are threatening lives in the U.S. would love for press to point this out.

Also, this bitch. WTF.

US in talks with Iranian Kurdish militants over anti-regime operations Iraq-based groups have asked Trump administration for intelligence, weapons and training support

Iranian Kurdish armed groups are in talks with the Trump administration about whether they could play a role in the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign against the Iranian regime. This has involved conversations about whether to attack Iranian security forces in a possible ground offensive led by

The opening US and Israeli strikes on Iran are just phase one.

The real test is what comes next.

Pushing Kurdish factions to launch a ground offensive and expecting the rest of the Iranian people to rise up is a bigger gamble

On Telegram

A ground operation against Iran, ordered by the US, has just begun. Thousands of Kurds from Iraq have invaded Iranian territory.

Jasmine Crockett’s Cryptocurrency History Is Under Scrutiny. Here’s What Her Record Tells Us. The congresswoman's 2022 victory was bolstered by the financial support of crypto super PACs.

If you're voting in Texas today, I urge you to vote for @jamestalarico.bsky.social in the Senate primary. He would make an incredible Senator.

Interesting

There's essentially no way this can be a mistake. This information had to be purposely removed from the Epstein files-in violation of the law-to protect Trump

Pam Bondi's DOJ is undoubtedly complicit in a cover up

Hundreds of American nurses choose Canada over the U.S. under Trump More than 1,000 American nurses have successfully applied for licensure in British Columbia since April, a massive increase over prior years.

“The Millers are part of a new surge of American nurses, doctors, and other health care workers moving to Canada, and specifically British Columbia, where more than 1,000 U.S.-trained nurses have been approved to work since April.”

New Democratic TV ad just dropped:

The bravest person in Congress is Democratic Rep. Al Green. He always speaks truth to power as he did last night during the fascist State of the union holding up a sign to Trump's face that read "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" He was ejected from the State of the Union for daring to defy Trump!
