Trump Keeps Trying to Pressure Ukraine. Zelensky Doesn’t Care. The American president is trying to use leverage he doesn’t have.

Steve Witkoff has visited Moscow seven times yet never traveled to Kyiv. For some reason, the Trump administration isn't playing its cards against Vladimir Putin.

Coloradans are paying over 30% more for gas since Trump launched his war in Iran – yet he's easing sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil exports.

Russia is raking in $150M PER DAY, funding its unjustified war in Ukraine and reportedly helping Iran target U.S. troops.

Tweet from Volodymyr Zelenskyy urging the continuation of sanctions on Russia to stop oil exports fueling attacks on Ukraine.

U.S. Diplomacy: reward your adversaries, alienate your allies, condem Ukraine to more russian aggression. ♻️

Mike Waltz: It's disappointing the Russians and Chinese chose to side with Iran rather than our Gulf Arab allies
Brennan: And you still lifted sanctions on Russia.
Waltz: Yeah.

Russia Is Making Bank on Trump’s Iran War Pricey oil and sanctions relief mean smiles in Moscow.

Russia Is Making Bank on Trump’s Iran War

Pricey oil and sanctions relief mean smiles in Moscow.

Team Trump reverses its reversal, gives Russia another break on oil sanctions “Enough is enough,” key Senate Democrats said. “President Trump needs to stop letting Putin play him for a fool.”

Team Trump keeps finding new ways to reward Russia:
- extended break on oil sanctions
- shrugging off evidence that Russia has helped Iran
- allowed Russia to bypass Cuban oil blockade
- vouched for Putin’s trustworthiness

And that’s just from the last couple of months.

erin brockovich his ass and hand him a warm glass of glyphosate and make him admit it needs to be banned

Heads I win, tails you lose

Musk isn’t wrong yet, give it more time

“Might makes right” means some bullies think only the physically strongest should rule

Now we also have “high stock price makes right”. Since retail has been bidding up TSLA for years that’s the social proof that
Musk is “right”. Its ridiculous and I’m sick of it

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2026

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

That isn’t a different way of calculating.

IT IS WRONG.

Trump is an idiot.

Stop making excuses for a guy who cannot spell ‘stolen’ even after 50 attempts.

Found out today my husband @brianfarrelly.bsky.social submitted a piece for @wfmu.bsky.social magazine & they gave him the entire back page! It’s Prince related so of course I have to tag @caissie.bsky.social

Thanks #wfmu!

He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence

one of the best days on social media was in 2021 when trump was banned from every single network. you saw him repeatedly trying to make alts before each one got banned too, like a poster trying to escape a game forum permaban

Did the grand jury even vote for this indictment? Reminder that former fake US attorney Halligan falsified a jury form in another case that was thrown out

The only fraud here seems to be on the part of the U.S. on the grand jury and public. Why? Because the indictment advances a bizarre theory- how can anyone think that the Southern Poverty Law Center was doing any of this activity to foment beliefs that are diametrically opposed to its mission?

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.

False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.

Reality:

“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."

screenshot of April 21 Wash PO editorial board: "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

"actually, from a constitutional perspective, who won an election is unknowable"

Ah, so the SPLC violated the How Dare You Be Mean To Nazis Law

I’m calling for a complete and total shutdown on CNBC producers allowing POTUS to call into a live TV show to spew bullshit that harms all Americans

His idea of winning would have been to nuke it so spare me his delusions

Trump, who dodged the draft 5x during the Vietnam War, and later said dodging STD’s at NYC clubs was his personal Vietnam, now claims he would have “won” the Vietnam War as president.

Let that level of delusion sink in.

Trump: "I would've won Vietnam very quickly if I were president. Look at Venezuela. I took it over in 45 minutes."

Trump on CNBC just now:

"I would've won Vietnam very quickly"
