The “big beautiful bill” has $160bn in new anti-immigrant measures including $8bn for ICE personnel, $15bn for deportations and $45bn to build detention facilities. Current total ICE budget is ~$8bn. They want to scale up this terror to an unimaginable level.

‼️ ARTICLE EXPLOSIF SUR LA 🇭🇺 traître + espionnage ‼️
"Un journaliste hongrois a révélé les détails de l'espionnage de Budapest sur l'Ukraine : cela a commencé il y a plusieurs années
Les services de renseig. 🇭🇺 concentrent depuis des années leurs efforts d'espionnage sur l'🇺🇦 plutôt que sur la 🇷🇺"⤵️
A new Gallup survey shows that a record 53% of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse—the highest level of pessimism since the poll began in 2001.

Donald Trump's massive package of sanctions against the U.S. economy proves effective

Im old enough to remember when Trump was really angry with Putin and was set on hitting Russia with really tough new sanctions....
🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world
Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info.
This goes way beyond what was previously known.
Musk acquired X and donated tons to Trump to gain access to him and foreign leaders. One of the reasons he launched DOGE was to access sensitive data for his AI projects. Even if he moves on from DOGE, he will still maintain influence and access to Trump and foreign leaders
The imprisonment of Istanbul’s mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu points to the next level of authoritarianism in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s regime — as he was seen as one of the few possible candidates who could have beaten the Turkish president at the 2028 presidential poll.
The United States has lost its traditional allies, gotten in bed with Russia and is on the verge of becoming a police state, with inflation about to go up, massively, and people over on X are … posting Studio Ghibli memes.
Nigel Farage desperately trying to get out of a deep hole he has dug for himself.
The UK public hates Trump.
The UK public hates Putin.
Farage is shackled to both of them.
Astonishing words to hear from a Canadian prime minister. Within months of taking office, the Trump admin has done lasting damage to core American interests, including continental defence. And for what? To satisfy the whims and impulses of a deranged leader, not for any carefully considered aim.
Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.
Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)

It's telling how Trump's chaotic comms is now all over the place on US aid to Ukraine and deals with Russia because they dimly sense that they're ending up in a place where not getting concessions from either Russia or Ukraine makes the US look like idiots
Ukrainian troops' logistics in Kursk Oblast destroyed, they face risk of encirclement, sources say
Growing number of experts say that Trump is providing Russia with intelligence against Ukraine. Russian forces in Kursk miraculously had extremely precise coordinates for Ukrainian troop locations, logistics and ammo depots in Kursk after Trump cut off aid. A day before Russia was on the back foot.
It remains a mystery to me why market expectations were so positive before Trump took office. The political risk of madness was out there for everyone to see.
Ukraine is getting Trump's version of peace through strength:
Public rebukes, stoppage of critical funding & intel; pressure to concede land & minerals w/o any security guarantees, demands for a change in leadership.
Meanwhile Russia gets peace through appeasement:
Private meetings...

After Elon Musk has been insinuating to turn off Starlink in Ukraine, Poland‘s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski is reminding Musk that Poland is paying for it, and he is making clear that if Musk follows through that Poland will abandon Starlink altogether for being an unreliable service.
From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.
Trump's claim on Friday that he was considering sanctions and Kellogg's hints that the administration has been thinking about tackling the shadow fleet have never been convincing; this indicates just how far the White House is from doing anything at all to harm Kremlin interests.
US aid was stopped at the very time when the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a counteroffensive in Donbas and were already having some success. – DeepState.
