Unmarked lunatics with guns attack your car when your kid is with you— you drive off too. Anyone who say otherwise is a liar. They almost killed the kid. What the fuck are we doing? 😳🇺🇸

The President vs. every member of Congress COMBINED. Guess who made more personal financial trades? Donald Trump — with 28,000+ trades. Stock trading by top government officials should be illegal—no owning, buying, or selling stocks.

Ukraine President Zelenskyy says the consequences of President Trump and the US "allowing Russia to sell oil products were most clearly felt in Kyiv today, when, following numerous attacks with jet-powered Shahed drones against energy facilities, a ballistic missile attack began as well."

Що означає дозвіл Росії продавати нафтопродукти, зараз найкраще було чутно в Києві, коли після численних застосувань реактивних «шахедів» проти енергетичних обʼєктів почалася ще й атака балістикою. Частину ракет вдалося збити. Це ще раз чітко демонструє, які справжні наміри у Росії. Вони розраховують на продовження війни, терор проти звичайних людей і знищення інфраструктури. Кожен додатковий мільярд доларів, які вони зможуть заробити на експорті, вони витратять саме на це – на пошук і завезення критичних компонентів, обладнання для виробництва зброї, на посилення «шахедів» і виробництво ракет та ще на додаткових найманців на фронт. Російський вибір – це війна. І вони будуть готові її припинити тільки тоді, коли відчують, що потенціал затягування війни скорочується. Вчора, на жаль, були зовсім інші сигнали для Росії – сигнали, що атакувати надалі начебто можна. І це потрібно виправляти. Потрібні сильні сигнали від Сполучених Штатів, від Європи, від інших партнерів. На підтримку України та на ОБМЕЖЕННЯ російської…

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.
