Dear White People; If Hakeem Jeffries refuses to defend Ilhan Omar and LaMonica McIver with his whole chest every day he will never stand up for you. Dear Black People; If your congressional rep is Black you need to tell 'em either Hakeem needs to be replaced or you'll replace them, period.

Russia is experiencing a diesel shortage. Farmers' crops in Russia are rotting in the fields because diesel costs 4x more than last year if they can even find it. Now ask yourself the question why would Vladimir Putin screw over his own farmers to send diesel to help Americans?

Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence - and the incompetence of Trump and Hegseth is breathtaking - but it's a worthy bit of speculation.

Russia occupies Oleshky. Around 2,000 civilians remain and run out of food, medicine, water and electricity. Russia, as the occupying power, is responsible for facilitating humanitarian relief. Ukraine found another way in: its forces delivered ~4 tons of food by drone to 100 locations across town.
