Poland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

💥 ICE drag mom & teen daughter out of hospital room—in middle of being treated after car accident. Still wearing hospital gowns. Both victims of car collusion, with asylum case pending in good standing & valid work permit. Grace Calero 39, & Giulianna Carriel 19, from Ecuador.

Where are all the four star Generals? Where is former FBI Director Wray? Where are all the people who know it’s a disaster? Tell them they can make their money later but we have a national crisis now!

July was Colorado's 2nd-hottest month on record, per freshly released NCEI data. Average statewide temp of 71.9° only trailed July of 2003 by a half-degree. Of note, the overall impact of a warming climate is clear in the chart below. #COwx

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

I just called (202) 224-2315 I welcome all to call Moreno's office &let him know, if he is such a "tough guy", why isn't he defending his daughter against the politician (his son in law) (Rep. Max Miller) who physically harmed her? and his granddaughter. and tell him to clean up his potty mouth.

Hurling F-bombs at an 85-year-old scientist who won’t fight back doesn’t make you tough. Staying silent after your own daughter accused Rep. Max Miller of holding a gun to her head, pushing her against a wall, and fracturing your granddaughter’s collarbone makes you a coward.

The International Olympic Committee is lifting the suspension of Russian boxers while Russia is bombing the old boxing center in Kherson. The IOC is on the wrong side of history.

Astonishingly warm overnight low temps in Denver. 76° at DIA and 77° at Central Park would mark our warmest lows in 145 years, if it holds until midnight tonight. Yesterday’s heat + cloudy overnight = crazy warm overnight temps. #COwx

Epstein survivor: I found my name in two places in the first Epstein Files release. In the next release, the redactions were far worse. The Files displayed my name, phone number, and more. These documents contain disturbing yet incomplete accounts of my abuse. It was humiliating.

82 years ago today, 320 mostly Black WWII military men died instantly, and another 400 were badly injured after a series of explosions in Port Chicago, California. As a result, several dozen Black men were punished and sentenced to hard prison labor despite none of it being their fault 🧵

Treasury just waived oil sanctions on Iran for 60 days — citing "progress." Iran could rake in up to ~$10 billion off that decision alone. In contrast, the Obama admin didn't lift sanctions until a deal was signed and the IAEA independently verified Iran's nuclear compliance.

Hahaha it sounds like he was talking to his own fart. Like, he answered it as though his fart interrupted to ask “Sir, was the election rigged?”

The law is salvageable, though, if these people face punishment. They dragged my family through hell despite a jury of our peers saying repeatedly they wouldn't indict protesters. A perversion of justice like this needs to be met with real justice for the prosecutors who broke the law.

GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says he doesn’t need to prove his claims about living a life of danger and daring as a high risk missionary. I asked Marx how voters should decide whether he’s lived one of the most extraordinary lives in human history or if he’s a liar and a fraud.

Does it even matter who Trump names as director of national intelligence? Does it matter who he names to anything? None are qualified, they get nothing done, will always do damage on his behalf, and we just have to beat these bastards in November and beyond. Just get them out of there.

The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.
