Hello again, on Day 1183 of Russia's all out war in Ukraine.

Every single day I am here with all the news (without the gratuitous gore) to compile fact-checked threads of all the news. Never had even one day off for sickness or holidays. Consider a coffee gift?🙏

Denys Shmyhal revealed they've received another €1bn from frozen Russian assets in the EU.

And also a potential free-trade agreement with the USA.

The Russian 98th VDV Division tried to storm Chasiv Yar (again) with up to 2 platoons of mechanized infantry using BMD-2 amphibious light infantry fighting vehicles.

It went very badly for the Russians, with only one IFV making it more than 100 meters past the Sivrskyii Donets - Donbas Canal.

Any Senator who votes for RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution. Full stop.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

A BIG thank you to my Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for speaking the truth!

Trump made false promises to workers during his campaign, and is ending policies that helped American working people.

His plans are all about favoring the ultra wealthy.

That's all Trump cares about.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape.
Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.
