🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: "Because of the war in the Middle East, prices are rising. They're increasing because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. Don't play games with people."

🚨 HOLY SMOKES! Ben Meiselas just UNLOADED on Trump over his fake Ukraine ceasefire announcement. “We're run by a sex predator, lunatic, a felon, a bankrupter, a fraud…” “Every freaking thing out of the guy is a fraud and a lie.” And Ben isn't letting corporate media off the hook either. WATCH.

Russia struck Kharkiv today with two guided aerial bombs, targeting the Nemyshlyanskyi district. ​The strike killed a 36-year-old woman and left eight people injured: a 7-year-old boy, three women aged 44, 62, and 72, and four men aged 30, 36, 47, and 61‼️

Trump: "Zelensky could have settled this war many, many times, but he chooses not to." Sick liar! This rant is full-on Russian propaganda straight from the mouth of the US president. There is no deal on the table that Ukraine could have accepted.

Thank you all for your support. This situation is heartbreaking for Ukrainians because every cent russia makes on diesel funds this war. Over here, that money isn't just an abstract concept, it causes devastating damage: more destroyed towns, a harder winter, and very real loss of life.

He’s going to keep saying increasingly offensive things because it earns him attention and…if he’s lucky…it will turn Americans against each other before the election so he can justify a show of force. Don’t fall for it.

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants. Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.
