Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Karmala Harris doesn't have integrity but I always felt that outside of Democratic circles she wasn't popular with the greater public. They also need a candidate who doesn't come across as too progressive so as to attract conservative independents, and Kelly does.

#VladimirPutin does not understand irony. He's accused the West of interfering with the election in #Hungary but fails to mention his stooges #Trump & #Vance were trying to get Hungarians to vote for his puppet #ViktorOrban, NOT the pro-EU candidate #PeterMagyar who won.

Kremlin mouthpiece #DmitryPeskov on their puppet Viktor Orban's defeat: "Hungarians made their choice. We respect this choice." So Moscow congratulated #PeterMagyar then? "We don't send congratulations to unfriendly countries", he said (Maygar supports EU funding for #Ukraine that #Orban blocked).

It's not just the post that needs to be deleted. Seriously America, you do NOT need further proof that #Trump is totally deranged & needs to be IMMEDIATELY removed from office - this is EXACTLY why the #25thAmendment exists. #TrumpIsDeranged #TrumpMustGo www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

bbc.co.ukTrump deletes post depicting him as Jesus-like figure after backlashChristian allies of the president call the AI-generated image offensive as Trump says he thought it showed him as a doctor.

GREAT news for #Hungary, Europe & Ukraine (& a slap in the face to Putin & Trump)! With so many polls published in the lead up showing him so far behind, I think #Orban finally realised if he rigged the count - like he did last time - NOBODY would've accepted it. #Democracy

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Another possible addition to Russia's #BlackSeabedFleet (damage TBC). This vessel carries Kalibr cruise missiles with which the Orcs have been terrorising Ukraine targeting residential buildings, hospitals, schools etc. #RussiaIsATerroristState #AdmiralMakarov www.kyivpost.com/post/73338

If you need any further proof that #JDVance is a know-nothing piece of right-wing crap & a traitor to democracy, here it is. No sane or decent Western politician could possibly give their support to Putin's puppet #Orban. Go home & ruin your own country. #VanceIsAnIdiot #OrbanIsPutinsPuppet

I 've been following the #Artemis2 mission with great excitement. Tonight after they passed behind the lunar far side I watched the #Moon rise & found it quite incredible to think of the crew up there. Here's some photos I've taken over the years with my telescope which I'm posting in their honour.

The key feature of the Tridon Mk2 is its use of a 40mm Bofors 40 Mk4 automatic cannon with a rate of fire of up to 300 rounds per minute and a range of up to 12 km; The system can also reduce the firing rate to 200 shots to conserve ammunition and improve target accuracy.

KALLAS: Whoever says "just give your territory away" needs to understand that it's not only territory — it's people. This is what happens to the people in the occupied territories: they are killed, they are tortured, their culture is suppressed. We have to keep this in mind.

Trump promised… His tariffs would revive American manufacturing (we’ve lost manufacturing jobs). He would lower gas prices (they’re higher than they’ve been in years). He would keep us out of any new wars (there’s no end in sight for his war on Iran). Has he kept any of his promises?
