🤬 Video from local channels: Russian ballistic missiles striking Kyiv, targeting energy infrastructure.

Here's a nice Monday morning video to go with your coffee. It shows highlights of drone sanctions being applied to Russian logistics on land and on sea. The Kremlin will keep insisting everything is under control. They aren't wrong, it is. It's just not under THEIR control.

Destroy every last oil refinery. Destroy every last gas production hub. Destroy every last petrol and diesel station. Destroy every last petroleum products tanker. When 'ordinary' Russians wake up and oust their murderous regime, withdraw from all of Ukraine AND guarantee peace, THEN we stop.

He’s threatening to sue the media over pool coverage. What an unbelievable, petulant manchild. Everyone knew he was going to fuck up the reflecting pool. He fucked up the reflecting pool, and now he’s invented vandals (despite the fact that the pool is under 24/7 video surveillance) to blame.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

"All this effort on the part of DHS to keep people from seeing into the facilities, and to keep those trapped inside from describing what is happening there, suggests that ICE feels that they have something to hide," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

Rep Garcia: Howard Lutnick has consistently been all over the place when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. He went into business with Epstein. He visited his island. He traveled with Epstein. He has to explain why he has continued to lie and be part of this massive White House coverup. #sheshed

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his base in Louisiana last week, ready to start their new life together. Instead, ICE detained her. She was brought to the U.S. as a toddler. People like her should be citizens, not treated like criminals.

Good morning, Northwest Georgia! It’s Election Day. This is your moment to be heard — for your family and your future. I’ve spent 40 years in uniform. I know what’s at stake, and I’ll always fight to protect our kids from another forever war. Get up. Get in line. Go vote. #GA14

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

The most powerful woman in the room is the one who turns around, reaches back & brings another woman forward with her! They don’t compete for space. They expand it. They don’t dim others. They make the whole room brighter! That’s real power! #SheShed

The SAVE Act should really be called the "Save Their Asses Act". Donald Trump and MAGA republicans know they are going to lose the elections this fall. So instead, they're trying to stop eligible Americans from voting. We won't let them.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

Most republicans are lying. Saying “most voters support voter ID” isn’t the same as saying they support a specific bill. That’s like saying people like water, so they must want sewer water too. Conflating the two is distortion, not evidence of consensus.

Speaking of nobody in particular. Small, simple-minded. Not a great thinker. Though he spoke to persuade, the effect said more about the people than the words ever could. Unloved, bitter, distrustful. He cheated, was convicted of fraud, and called emptiness victory.

now the rest of the story - Sunday talk DANA BASH: Are ICE agents going to move into American airports starting tomorrow? TOM HOMAN : Yes. We’ll execute tomorrow. BASH : Are ICE agents even remotely trained to handle security at airports? HOMAN: ICE agents receive high-level training.🤣🤣please

No funding for ICE until they carry and show ID, remove the masks and require judicial warrants. This is what all law enforcement in this country do. No funding for an abusive secret police force.

Aguilar: "It never occurred to me that an administration would come in & want to use only AI to target and to kill people, and to have no humans in the kill chain making decisions. This is shocking but that's clearly the authority that Pete Hegseth wants. It's scary & is going to necessitate policy"

Maybe the White House or the secretary with the most makeup, Hegseth, can try to unplug the war and then plug it back in. Sometimes the obvious solution is lurking right there in front of you.

This administration and republicans congress are able to find endless money for their donors and to inflict misery. American voters need to halt this cycle.

Trump cannot make himself smarter, more articulate, healthier, younger, or innocent. He simply can’t. He’ll never dunk a basketball, run up or down stairs with ease, or be happily married and loved by all. No amount of memes or misery inflicted on others will change these sobering facts

Trump has always positioned himself as a builder. In reality, he’s a destroyer — of lives, livelihoods, economies, and ways of life. He isn’t making anything great again. Hopefully, every dupe who voted for him and still supports him gets a case of moral clarity.

Over a dozen Epstein survivors and their family members will be in the audience of Trump's State of the Union address tonight, at the invitation of Democrat members of Congress. They will wear “Stand with Survivors” and “Release the Files” pins.
