😂😂Melania Trump, tries so hard to make Oleshky seem her sole project. She's so much in charge she posted the wrong date for the ceasefire when she announced it, even though both Ukraine and Russia announced 3am/4am today as the start. She now pretends it was brought forward.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

Since this evening, up to 20 missiles have hit Kyiv. There is absolutely nothing to intercept them with. The "Patriot" systems are completely inactive.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.
