SEN. SHAHEEN: Russian economy is on the brink, and casualties unbelievable from American perspective. In less than 3 months, Russia is losing as many people on battlefield as we lost throughout Vietnam. Now is the time for us to take action, and get Russia sanctions bill passed.

Kasparov: Ukraine is the shield, and increasingly the sword, of the free world. Western governments already possess the resources Ukraine needs, but narrow interests still obstruct the support required for victory. 2/






The coward in Moscow, who is afraid to meet with President Zelenskyy to end the war, continues to wage a war against civilians. Russia unleashed the largest number of ballistic missiles since the start of the war — around four dozen — in a brutal terrorist attack on the Ukrainian capital, killing and injuring people. We urge appropriate and strong responses. We need devastating pressure on Moscow to end this terror. There can be no pauses in increasing sanctions and isolation of Russia. The 21st EU package must be unblocked now. There can be no pauses in the protection of life. Agreements on additional interceptors must be implemented without delay. Everyone who is holding back these vital protection tools from delivery should know that the cost of delay is measured in human lives. There can be no pauses in our joint work to develop European protection from ballistic terror. We rely on anti-ballistic coalition to advance its work quickly. There can be no decisions to whitewash Russia’s war crimes by restoring its rights in international sports competitions. The blood of Ukrainians is on the hands of the sports bureaucrats taking such immoral steps. Putin will not be stopped through appeasement. He will go further unless he is stopped by strength now. Provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to stop Russia and end the war.

BREAKING 🚨 Robert F Kennedy Jr announced it is official. Mercury is REMOVED from all vaccines 🔥 “Now that America has removed mercury from all vaccines, I call on every global health authority to do the same” THIS IS HUGE 👏

Two more Americans dead. The president must go to Congress -and to the American people - and explain why he’s gambling with the lives of U.S. service members. theatlantic.com/national-secur…


This would be a huge scandal for any other president. A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year. The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June. The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project. Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries. As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor. This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries. Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls. This cannot be normalized. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. nytimes.com/2026/07/14/us/…
