Obviously,those who are convincing President Trump that fuel prices can be brought down quickly by forcing Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries are either demonstrating their ignorance or deliberately leading Republicans toward electoral defeat
Fuel prices are already hurting Republicans

Just a reminder, 49 days until midterm elections:
Republicans will stop at NOTHING to protect this child-raping President Trump.
He is a raper of children.
They know it.
They have PROOF that they won't release.
They don't just "do nothing", they are actively covering up and abetting his crimes.

Today’s hearing in the Kennedy Center case (Beatty v Trump):
1. Judge Cooper said he’ll rule on the renaming proposals soon. (He did not betray anger at how Trump’s KC board has treated him. He has the patience of Job—which is not meant as a compliment here.)

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I was walking home through my neighborhood in Kharkiv recently when I heard the buzz of a Russian drone in the air. There are no metro stations nearby, nowhere to hide, just houses and a park. In situations like that, you just carry on with what you're doing while a deadly machine flies above you.

Zelensky urged the US to impose sanctions on Russia without delay, saying sanctions can deprive Moscow of the ability to finance its war against Ukraine. He called for economic and energy restrictions, limits on ballistic missile production, and passage of Lindsey Graham's bill. #Ukraine

Poor SCOTUS is being absolutely deluged by emergency requests… due to the situation that the court has BROUGHT UPON ITSELF by pandering to the bad intentions of the Trump Administration, and not upholding the Constitution or defending the Rule of Law.

As predicted, synthetic aperture radar images of the USS Theodore Roosevelt looked much better in the descending pass. Clear corner reflections at the back of the ship and where the deck pinches in at the front, as well as a nice big blob for the island.
