Kind of perfect that this is happening even as Trump is rambling like a crazed lunatic about immigrants from hellhole countries. Keep talking, Donnie. Just pissing away all those 2024 gains.

The bodies of 449 people who died during the occupation of Izium in 2022 have been identified and reburied, the Izium Administration reported.

Russia occupied the town for only a few months, yet managed to extinguish countless lives.

Can we agree to STOP CONSUMING POLITICO?

Trump has been named most influential politician in Europe by Politico

Putin 5th. LePen 4th. Farage 6th. Orban 12th. Zelenskyy 14th.

Can we pair it with FT that proclaimed head of Russia Today as one of the most influential people and throw it in trash?

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

It gets worse. Trump also says straight out that an invasion of Venezuela "on land" is coming and says he'd expand all this to Mexico and Colombia. Incredibly, no one even bothers pointing out anymore that he is claiming authority to do all of this without Congress:

Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.

Ukraine’s future must be decided by Ukrainians—not by an unaccountable real-estate-developer-turned-“special envoy,” and certainly not in a back room with Russia while Ukraine is sidelined.

Today I admit that I effed up…again. Same way I effed up in my first term, by the way. Because I never learn. And I suspect that MAGA never learns, either. I’m going to take some money from the bucket of money I’m supposed to give back, because it was illegal to start with.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Such a strong and unequivocal public response was, by all indications, encouraged by the European leaders gathered in London today — Starmer, Macron, and Merz.

Another dark turn for the Russian economy as Russians figure out that the average price of gasoline is now officially 8% higher than in the US.

With median US salary being 9.5X higher than median Russian salary, this must be quite an embarrassment for the Russian dictator.

Ukraine's spy chief Kyrylo Budanov gave a blunt answer when asked about tapping top Kremlin officials: “We can, yes. That's what we get paid for.”

The comment comes after reports of a leaked conversation between Putin’s close adviser and envoy.
