Zelenskyy: "For first time in Russia’s history, we now hear that its oil industry is running on fumes. Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”

For years, I've been championing the creation of a federal film tax credit to stop the mass exodus of production leaving the United States for other countries. Today these efforts have finally borne fruit.

If our prime Minister would post something like that he would be removed in less then a week. He would be send for a mental health evaluation. America is now allies with North Korea, no big deal.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that police generally need a warrant to access your phone’s location history because it’s protected under the 4th Amendment. Now the gov needs to show narrow requests with probable cause instead of treating your phone like open data. Small wins.

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

“Don’t worry, Pete. That little speech I read was just for the voters back home. I have to put on these little shows to convince them I’m independent. You will get the $1.5 trillion for your wars even though I just gave ICE unlimited funding to run wild. We’ll just borrow more.”

Ana Navarro: Let’s remember that lCE has kiIIed before, just kiIIed again today. A lot of times has lied about it, has explained it in a way that does not fit the video that we see and, testimony from people on the ground. Over 52 people have died in lCE custody.

Trump tacoed again. The housing bill is now LAW. HE didnt sign it, so automatically it became law. A WIN for Americans from a president who doesn’t care about Americans

And here we go again, He is back in the US bragging that NATO was great and everyone loves him, WHILE THE MEDIA is reporting the exact opposite and he started the war again, What will it take for REPS to see he is not capable of being POTUS

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

NEWS: In a stunning upset, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier will defeat five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the NY-13 congressional primary. With victories by Lander, Valdez, and now Avila Chevalier, Mamdani went 3-for-3 with his endorsements in New York City's Democratic primaries.

Iran’s FM is disputing reports that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed. However, FT reports Iranian forces fired warning shots at ships and broadcast that the strait would remain closed until key conditions are met. The situation remains volatile, and the state of the strait is unclear.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

"Bradley Cooper is starring in a major Hollywood film about January 6th directed by Sean Penn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice cmes in many forms. This is one of them." Really American

The Knicks belong to New York City. And this championship belongs to the people who waited 53 years for it. That’s why we’re giving away 600 free tickets to Thursday’s Championship Ceremony at City Hall following the ticker-tape parade.

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

Abraham Lincoln understood, perhaps better than anyone, how personal liberty and self-reliance are at the heart of the American experience. But he also knew there are certain things we can only do together. Read more in my essay for @inpursuitusa.bsky.social:

Can’t wait to watch all the people who criticized the JCPOA and excoriated Obama for “pallets of cash” try to sanewash Trump giving Iran even more cash for a worse deal than the JCPOA.
