Yaroslavl, more than 700 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. An oil sector facility that was of great importance for financing Russia’s war. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our military intelligence for this manifestation of justice. Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continued in response to Russian strikes on our cities and villages. Russia must choose genuine peace, and only strong pressure will ensure that.

While in russia children are dressed in military uniforms, placed on tanks, and taught that wаr is something to be proud of. Look at Ukraine. Look at our songs. Our dances. Our language. Our embroidered shirts. Our laughter. We do not teach children to hаte. We teach them to love life. Ukrainians keep singing even under air raid sirens. We dance even after sleepless nights. We protect our culture even while russia tries to еrase us with mіssiles, оccupation, and feаr. Russia wants Ukrainian songs to fall silent. They want our dances to be forgotten. They want the Ukrainian language to disappear. They want the very word “Ukraine” to no longer exist. But we are fіghting. For the right to live. For the right to be ourselves. For the right for our children to sing Ukrainian songs instead of marching in mіlitary unifоrms. 🎥Ігор Бартош

Would you support releasing Epstein's files even if it meant imprisoning the President of the United States (Trump)?

Dear @GarySinise What you have done here is remarkable and always will be.

My speech on the Tennessee House Floor today as our state voted to eliminate Memphis's only majority Black congressional district.

BREAKING: Congressman Eugene Vindman just exposed Pete Hegseth for the fraud he is. Woah.

I think it's very apt. Putin and Trump both thought their wars of choice would be done in a few days and are each trapped in self-created blunders.

Dropping $100 to fill up the tank is a small price to pay to reinstate the Obama nuke deal and open up the Strait of Hormuz! I just hope that one day we catch the guys who blew up the deal and closed the Strait in the first place.

🔥🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: Congressional Democrats just launched a probe into 17 of Trump’s pardons. The question: did money, lobbyists, or personal connections buy presidential clemency? The list includes: A crypto billionaire. A reality TV star. A Ponzi scheme fraudster. A man who defrauded Native American tribal entities. A media founder convicted of identity theft. A political fundraiser. A nursing home executive. Stefan Passantino — former White House counsel — allegedly helped one recipient secure their pardon. What kind of pardon system is this? This seems more like a price list.

"The thefts and abuses are eye-watering. I cite them not to enrage readers, but to offer a theory that we may, at last, be passing out of the “LOL nothing matters” phase of this travesty. Trump’s unprecedented corruption is going to bite him in the ass." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

I guess it’s just an amazing coincidence that basically every decision related to politics helps Republicans, and every decision related to regulation helps fossil fuel polluters. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…

The Russians want Ukraine’s permission to hold their parade – so they can safely take to the square for an hour once a year, and then go back to killing *our* people and waging war. The Russians are already talking about strikes after May 9. A strange and certainly twisted logic from the Russian leadership. There are also messages from some states close to Russia that their representatives intend to be in Moscow. An odd desire at a time like this. We do not recommend it.

I am a broken record. Keep your eye on Hungary. It is the way forward for America. Replicate, Investigate, Adjudicate, Eliminate.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

I already thought Elon’s mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn’t even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen

Sen. DURBIN: 3,603. That’s how many licensed attorneys are in Montana. Couldn’t the White House find one who actually tried a case? Katie Lane isn’t remotely qualified. That’s not my opinion alone—she’s the first Trump 2.0 judicial nominee to receive a Not Qualified ABA rating.

ZELENSKYY: Russia has fought to the point where its main parade now depends on us. This is a clear signal: it’s time to end this war. Ukraine is ready to work for peace. Russia received clear proposal from us on ceasefire and diplomatic steps, and it knows how to contact Ukraine or its partners to finalize details. However, if that one person in Moscow who cannot live without war is interested only in parade and nothing else, then that's a different matter. I thank everyone who stands with us and with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

After yesterday’s savage strikes against our cities and communities – Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk, and others – the Russian army continued active hostilities and terrorist shelling throughout this day as well. Russia’s choice is an obvious spurning of a ceasefire and of saving lives. Assaults continue across all key sections of the front, and since the start of this day alone, the Russian army has already carried out nearly 30 assaults. More than 20 air strikes using over 70 aerial bombs have been recorded just overnight and this morning. Throughout the night, the Russian army also launched strikes with various types of drones. In particular, Ukraine’s Defense Forces neutralized nearly 90 attack drones alone. There were also missile strikes. In total, as of 10 a.m., the Russian army had committed 1,820 violations of the ceasefire regime – shelling, attempted assaults, air strikes, and the use of drones. I am grateful to our warriors for defending Ukrainian positions. Ukraine clearly stated that it would act in kind, taking into account Russia’s persistent appeals through the media and social networks asking for a ceasefire during the Moscow parade. It is obvious to any reasonable person that a full-scale war and the daily murdering of people are a bad time for public “celebrations.” Russia must end the war it is currently waging. Even with the internet shut down and communications blocked, it is perfectly clear to most Russians that their leadership can come out of the bunker and choose peace. The Russian side has our diplomatic proposals, and the only thing needed is Russia’s willingness to move toward real peace. As of today, we can confirm that the Russian side has disrupted the ceasefire regime. Based on the evening reports from our military and intelligence, we will decide on our further actions. Glory to Ukraine!
