From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

It’s been really amazing this past week to watch so many people FINALLY waking up to the fact that Trump is on Putin’s side, that Trump is actively trying to help Putin win the war, that Trump is a Russian asset. It’s ALWAYS been the case, but I’m glad people finally get it.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

The president of the United States is actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians.

Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Zelenskyy issues a statement responding to Trump’s deal with Putin to lift sanctions to purchase Russian oil and diesel.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

allchronology.comTrump Administration Faces Major Blow as State Uncovers Voter Fraud FalsehoodsThe Trump administration's recent claims regarding voter fraud in Nevada encountered immediate backlash when state officials verified the identities of individuals allegedly involved. The administration asserted that 185 supposed noncitizens were registered to vote, but an investigation revealed all of them were, in fact, U.S. citizens. Nevada's Deputy Attorney General stated in a letter obtained by The New York Times that the state’s records confirm the citizens' identities.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

There could have been zero measles deaths, and RFK Jr. is lying once again to the American people regardless. There have been FIVE measles deaths. And death is not the only endpoint that matters—there have also been about 200 hospitalizations.

After fifteen years of studying the anti-vax movement, I came to the conclusion that upholding legal requirements for vaccines for school entry is the single most important thing we can do. You cannot use facts to convince someone who did not employ facts to make their decision. So use the law.
