Rescuers worked at the site of the Russian strike in Pryluky all night and day. Russia killed 22 people here for Putin's birthday, 5 of them were children. ​They celebrate like this, crashing apartment buildings onto sleeping residents. ​search and rescue operation continues.

⚠️ ICE documents obtained through a FOIA lawsuit show the agency: 🔺 Collected tens of millions of voter records 🔺 Considered sending undercover agents to go after voting nonprofits 🔺 Weighed investigating voting machines 👀➡️ demdock.com/4ybyK4L
The image shows large red text stating "48.4M," with smaller text below explaining that this is the number of records obtained by ICE from a noted election denier, related to an alleged voter fraud hunt before the 2026 midterms.

BREAKING: ICE collected millions of voter records and considered undercover investigations against voter registration groups, documents reveal. It's one of the clearest pictures yet of how deeply Trump's immigration enforcement apparatus has become involved in elections.

Fuel from South Korea being shipped to Russia as Ukraine war grinds on
Exclusive: Guardian analysis finds more than 150,000 tonnes of fuel was shipped to Russian ports in July and August, some using sanctioned tankers Fuel is being shipped from South Korea to Russia via sanctioned tankers as Moscow scrambles for supplies amid the war in Ukraine, a move one expert said “undermines” Seoul’s public backing for Kyiv. Guardian analysis of port records and ship-tracking data found that in July and August over 176,000 tonnes of fuel, mostly diesel, was loaded at several South Korean ports on to seven tankers that made 14 voyages to Russia’s far east.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

"A demagogue who hijacked American democracy, just as the nation’s founders feared would happen, is devolving into a mad king before our eyes:"
This is exactly why the time to sound the alarm is now, and not Nov. 10 or Jan. 3 when undoing irrational and unlawful moves by the White House will be much, much harder. Look, TV punditry and newspaper analyses that stop pretending the president is a well man, or newspaper editorials calling for his resignation, or leaders in Congress backing impeachment won’t end the crisis...today.

But calling attention now to Trump’s gross unfitness to hold office will set the stage for the battles to come — moving the Overton window on what can be done to restore democracy and helping any sensible Republicans understand there’s still a way to save both themselves and the country before it’s too late.

The right words matter, a lot. We need to start urgently looking for them.
