@ArtemisLynn @BohuslavskaKate We fully funded in the budget replacements for old US equipment we disposed of by giving it to Ukraine (which saved us money, btw).

@BohuslavskaKate He’s not blaming 🇺🇦. He’s blaming Biden - implying Biden gave things as charity which we needed ourselves. The flaws: - it’s not charity. 🇺🇦 is fighting on behalf of all of us. We owe them, not the other way around. - 🇺🇸 people overwhelmingly supported sending aid to 🇺🇦 1/2

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

@Cnithster @BohuslavskaKate This is true. The ones who are anti Ukraine already are beyond reach. Hegseth's blathering won't affect the majority of Americans, who support Ukraine. They know the US fully funded replacements of all the old equipment sent to Ukraine.

@BohuslavskaKate They're so full of shit. Personally I wouldn't worry about that "segment of Americans". They're beyond reach regardless. The vast majority supports Ukraine. 🫂💔

ZELENSKYY: War no longer has distance. Drones already fly 3,000–5,000 km today, and soon they'll reach 10,000 km. Every day, Ukraine faces 350–500 drone strikes. Imagine any country dealing with that. No continent is safe anymore. Distance is now a matter of months, not decades.

@MilwardPerry @jurgen_nauditt Yet.

@jurgen_nauditt NO surprise here other than he did not fall out of an open window, down an empty lift shaft or otherwise try to kill himself. trump - take note - your lord and master is still SCARED of opposition and criticism just like you but one day it will all catch up with you!! Repent NOW

Russian lawyer Remeslo has been committed to a psychiatric hospital after verbally attacking Putin. At least, that's what Z-blogger Alexander Kartavakh claims: Remeslo is allegedly currently in St. Petersburg's Skvortsov-Stepanov Psychiatric Hospital No. 3. Attempts by the "Khodorkovsky Live" correspondent to contact him via all the messaging apps Remeslo uses, including WhatsApp, where he responded yesterday, were unsuccessful. He hasn't updated his Telegram channel since last night. Russia is a dirty, stinking dictatorship.

@TifaAuntie @jurgen_nauditt @Phoenixfire709 Can't rule out the window just yet...

@jurgen_nauditt @Phoenixfire709 It was either that or the window 🤷

Zelenskyyyyy🫢

@horia85 Progress!!

It may mean nothing (or very little to you) but my small victory for today is that I managed to take 20 steps (I counted) with only one crutch. It feels like I'm born again.

The Maduro Regime is still in power in Venezuela. The IRGC regime is still in power in Iran. The Epstein regime is still in power in D.C.

Hegseth just said on live television that no American weapons should have been sent to Ukraine yet when he was working for Fox News in 2022 he was saying to send everything to Ukraine to destroy the Russian Army. It’s absolutely clear now that the entire admin are compromised.

The US delegation is now meeting with the dictator of Belarus, a country with a GDP smaller than the US state of Vermont. Putin needs the US to take sanctions off Belarus to use it as a conduit for western technology for the Russian war machine. The US gains absolutely nothing, but surely the Trump family will make billions from the coming arrangement.

Yes and another just end. Bastards.

Cherry 🍒 and Apple 🍏 are looking for a home. Two sisters, 1.5 years old. Beautiful girls with striped tabby coats and bright green eyes. They were rescued and evacuated from Toretsk. Now they are safe, but real happiness for a cat is not a temporary shelter — it’s a loving home and a person of their own 🏠 ✅ spayed ✅ vaccinated It would be wonderful if they could go together, but they can also be adopted separately. Give them a home, and they will give you soft purrs and cozy companionship 🐾 Maybe there is a place in your home for Cherry or Apple? If you can’t adopt right now, please share this post. Sometimes one share is all it takes to help a cat find a home.

💔 Kostiantynivka is yet another town in Donbas that the russians are wiping off the map. "Liberating" it from life itself.

Huge thanks to @Rootdar for the amazing raffle prize that arrived today 🇺🇦📦 Incredible goodies, all put together with so much care ➡️ really appreciate what you’re doing 💙💛 🚨 He’s currently running another fundraiser + raffle. If you can, consider joining in and supporting the cause!

A law written for energy independence is now the mechanism for food dependence. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates that 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol be blended into American transportation fuel annually. That volume consumes approximately 43 percent of the US corn crop. The mandate was established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It was designed for a world where corn was abundant and America wanted to reduce reliance on foreign oil. That world no longer exists. Corn acres are falling to 94 million from 98.8 million because urea at $610 makes the nitrogen economics impossible. The RFS takes its 15 billion gallons from a shrinking harvest. The percentage of remaining corn available for feed, food, and export compresses with every acre that switches to soybeans. The mandate does not flex. The biology does. Waiving the RFS requires the EPA Administrator to make a formal determination that implementation would cause severe economic or environmental harm. The process involves a public comment period, regulatory review, and potential legal challenges from the ethanol industry. The EPA proposed 2026 and 2027 RFS volume requirements in June 2025 and has been targeting Q1 2026 for the final rule. The rulemaking machinery was designed for normal agricultural cycles. It was not designed for a war that closed the world’s most important fertiliser transit route during planting season. Even if the EPA Administrator initiated a waiver today, the timeline from announcement to implementation stretches weeks to months. The corn planting window closes in three to four weeks. The legal process cannot outrun the biological calendar. By the time a waiver could take effect, the acreage decisions it was meant to influence would already be irreversible. The RFS is the transmission belt that converts a fertiliser crisis into a food crisis. Without the mandate, a shrinking corn crop would still produce less total output, but the available supply could be allocated flexibly between feed, food, and fuel based on market signals. With the mandate, 43 percent of whatever corn exists is legally spoken for before a single hen eats a kernel or a single tortilla is pressed. The flexibility that markets provide is overridden by the rigidity that law imposes. The cattle herd is at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry operations rebuilt from the 2025 avian flu but face rising feed costs. Dairy herds are contracting. Every animal that eats corn competes with a fuel pump that has legal priority. The protein cascade, from corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the grocery shelf, begins at the point where the RFS takes its cut. Corn Belt legislators who championed the RFS to support their farming constituents now face a perverse outcome: the law they wrote to help farmers is the law that prevents the market from adjusting to a crisis their farmers are living through. The ethanol industry will resist any waiver. The livestock industry will demand one. The consumer will pay the difference. And the EPA rulemaking process was designed for annual adjustments, not emergency response during a 21-day-old war. Fifteen billion gallons. Written into statute. Consuming 43 percent of a crop that just lost 4.8 million acres to a fertiliser price that originates in a strait the law never contemplated. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@CriticerX @_GlobeObserver Khomeini has been dead since 1989. Did she mean Khamenei? Two different people.

@_GlobeObserver True..

🚨 BREAKING: Tucker asked, "Was Iran about to get a nuke?" Joe Kent replied: "No. They've had a religious ruling against it since 2004. We had no intelligence that it was being disobeyed."
