BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
⚡️ US reportedly considering easing Russian oil sanctions to reduce global energy prices.
"Ukrainians will pay for that choice in blood," Alexander Kirk, a sanctions campaigner at the NGO Urgewald, told the Kyiv Independent.
⚡️Zelensky shares new update on liberated Ukrainian territory, says Kyiv 'more positive' than at end of 2025.
Ukrainian forces have liberated up to 435 kilometers of Russian-occupied territory in the south, thwarting Moscow's efforts to mount a southern offensive, President Zelensky claimed.
We don’t know for sure one way or another how Jeffrey Epstein died back in 2019.
But at the time he died, he had just been arrested the month prior. Had every motivation to potentially cut a deal. And had a lot of very powerful people who didn’t want him talking.
Also, Trump was POTUS at the time.
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Serious question here: who took over for Epstein?. The billionaires didn’t suddenly lose interest in Child S.A., murder and torture!
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
This is how the Trump admin thanks Ukraine for their agreement to help us with Shahed drone interceptors.
#RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Hey, Pam! Can we talk about pedos now?
Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:
Good deal. Trump shouldn't throw a tantrum on Ukraine and Zelenskyy. We need Patriots, but they need our help as well.
Surprise, Ukraine has cards🤷♀️

After over four years of the Russia-Ukraine war, Putin's strategy to win is now to try to outlast Ukraine. Meanwhile, Iran claims it will win by outlasting Trump.
Watch for Trump to be forced into implementing the draft. Imagine that, a 5-time draft-dodger forcing others into his war of choice!
While many cannot visit Kyiv,
and perhaps not everyone will be able to even after the war,
I’m honored to be your eyes into my beloved city and country.
It lives.

JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett concedes and urges Democrats to rally around James Talarico, who is now officially the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.
Oh, Peter, you're so hypermasculine! We're all maximally impressed, Lord of the Video Games!
I just listened to Trump rant for 10 minutes about how we have an unlimited amount of weapons, even though Joe Biden gave them all away to Ukraine.
We must be running out fast.
This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
Stop callinge them "data centers" and starte callinge them "slop peripherals"
