Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Trump is the most dangerous president in our history.
He's an authoritarian who does not believe in the rule of law.
This election is not about Ds vs. Rs.
It's about whether we maintain a rubber-stamp GOP Congress that aids and abets Trump — or finally hold him accountable.

More prominent people saying this so plainly can only help. But action is still required to stop this catastrophic and treasonous turn.
"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim."

A warning to Donald Trump:
I’m deploying election lawyers to key battleground districts in California to protect every vote.
And I just made it a FELONY to illegally seize ballots.

UK goes big as U.S recedes into the darkness of the Russian world.
Britain has announced its largest-ever financial support package for Ukraine – £10 billion ($13.3 billion) in additional economic and military assistance.
Announced today by Chancellor John Healey, the package includes:
- £7 billion in economic support over three years, including World Bank guarantees and grants.
- £3 billion in additional UK export finance capacity, prioritizing military support.
- £500 million in urgent military funding to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses this winter.
The announcement brings Britain's total commitments to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion to £35 billion ($46.5 billion).
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Chancellor Healey informed President Zelensky ahead of the announcement. Zelensky responded: "You've made my day."

Obama: “While we're alienating key allies like Canada, the White House is bending the knee to Vladimir Putin and selling out Ukrainians who are fighting for their freedom and democracy”

💔💔A father screams in agony beside the lifeless body of his daughter.
This is Chernihiv, Ukraine, where a russian attack killed two 15-year-old girls.
No parent should ever have to experience this horror💔

Obama: "I'm not making this up -- the president of the United States is spending time supergluing gold medallions to the mantle in the Oval Office. He's literally doing arts and crafts while we are fighting a war and trying to deal with out of control prices."

To speak honestly is one of our weapons, to be open, and to be clear. Not to play games with our partners. This is my rule of thumb. There is a lot of pressure on Ukraine at the moment, and of course I have to be louder. And I will be, because it's part of our defense strategy. We are not trying to be somebody else. If I feel that dangerous things are looming over Ukraine, I have to defend my country. And I do what I can, like our soldiers on the battlefield and people who work for Ukraine. And I, the President, have to use every format of diplomacy.

Every single day. For 700 days.
In the absence of lots of other factors, this persistence is what keeps the sentiment of uncertainty and inconclusiveness as opposed to a successful autocratic consolidation.

This election is our last chance to at least rein in some of the foolishness of this Administration.
We need real leadership with concrete plans to lower costs, make health care more affordable, make housing more affordable, and get utility bills under control.
Let’s do what we can to make @KeishaBottoms the next Governor of Georgia. Let’s go send Jon @Ossoff back to the Senate. And let’s put this country back on the path to a better future.

Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza.
We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.

Witkoff tried to convince Budanov of how rich he could be if he sold out his country by allowing Russian pipelines to again flow through Ukraine. Budanov ended the meeting.
Content of Tense Conversation Between Budanov and Trump's Team Revealed
Negotiations between the Ukrainian delegation and Donald Trump's special envoys in Miami, as reported by Le Monde, escalated into a conflict. According to the publication, during a three-hour meeting at the Shell Bay golf club, Steve Witkoff "with irritation" demanded that Kyrylo Budanov, head of Zelenskyy's office, cease strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Budanov, per Le Monde's information, "barely contained his anger" and felt that he was being "treated like a child, trying to teach him how to make money." The Americans presented an ambitious plan for postwar "regional prosperity," which envisioned resuming the transit of Russian oil and gas to Europe through Ukraine, with dividends paid to Kyiv.
Budanov was outraged that such a deal would tie Ukraine to Moscow, after which the negotiations broke off. When the meeting resumed, the Americans proposed accepting a deal for supplies of Russian diesel to the United States.
The publication's sources noted that they had never seen Ukrainians "so upset and alarmed." Zelenskyy's entourage described the situation as "hopeless," since Trump's envoys "think only about business."

Damn! They was fast. Ukraine has launched its first satellite for its own communications network
🛰 Great news! Ukraine has launched its first satellite for its own communications network
Himera, together with Denmark's GomSpace, has launched the Obria Nano satellite into orbit.
With its help, Ukraine will be able to develop its own communications infrastructure, relying less on foreign satellite systems.
The first test satellite of Ukraine's future sovereign satellite communications network is already undergoing testing.

Kemi Badenoch claims £39 400 per year for her personal expenses.
Suella Braverman £45,000 for water bills alone.
Esther McVey, where do we start.
It's MPs expenses that need to be curtailed. It's absolutely obscene what some of them are claiming.
