Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

Cliff Albright: Our early vote is an act of resistance! Our early vote is a way of fighting and pushing back against the suppression that we're seeing and the sabotage that we're seeing all across the country.

In Columbia, Tennessee, about 150 rally goers are out for No Kings Day with more people arriving. The event is just down the street from the home of James K. Polk, 11th president of the US.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

So Trump and the White House lied about which plane Trump was on flying out of Turkey, setting up journalists who thought they were on the same plane as the president to possibly be the target of an Iranian attack while he secretly departed on a different one. Words fail.

wapo.stContradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threatThe White House said the president was aboard Air Force One as he left a NATO summit. Instead, his departure included an elaborate ruse that concealed his travel.

Toddler-in-chief, Felon Trump, seeing his Golden Boy Blanche tanking, threatens to keep the $1.8 billion slush fund to pay insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement and our Capitol. That slush fund is dead from the get-go per a federal judge so Trump is barking up the wrong tree as usual.

Todd Blanche refuses to translate the foreign language documents in the Epstein Files, despite the fact there was an international sex trafficking ring.

Phang: "The fact that it's taking France and England and other foreign countries to be able to launch investigations, and yet our American DOJ is sitting on it doing absolutely nothing, including not cooperating with those foreign nations, is such a big red flag."

MsMars reposted

The Trump DOJ refuses to deploy the FBI to investigate any leads from the Epstein Files. Blanche has been shown unredacted documents that provide evidence to pursue and he won’t do it.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Phang: "Think about what could be done if the FBI was deployed to really follow the investigative leads that have come out of even these bullshit redactions that we have in the Epstein files right now."

To be clear, American hero Dr. Fauci pled the fifth in order to protect himself from republicans using anything he says to produce propaganda against him, unlike the orange felon who pled the fifth 450 times because he’s guilty AF, but they were more than okay with that. Scumbags.
