Trump's visit to California was a total snoozer. Very low energy. No speech. He could barely take a question on the tarmac. Night night, Grandpa!
When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.
If each of the partner countries helps us now, it will save many lives. Thank you Alex for your instant reaction and readiness to support us. We talked about diplomacy - everything that can force Russia to peace. When Putin cannot kill people, he will be forced to look for a way out of this war.
🇫🇮🇺🇦 Zelensky: We discussed with Alex Stubb how Finland can help us protect ourselves from Russian ballistic attacks. We understand how many missiles there are in the world for air defense. And they are needed every day in Ukraine, we need to defend ourselves from these Russian strikes every day.
In case under rock: one drone with explosives was neutralized by a tourist guide, next to a fleet of Ukraine cargo planes. Shortly after another flight collided with an unknown object at 400m altitude but could safely divert. Hybrid or kinetic, imposibru to tell!
Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
🇩🇪 Russia launches new provocations ahead of German elections, - Reuters German security services note that information attacks from Russia are primarily targeting rivals of far-right AfD party. Russian resources are trying to discredit representatives of other parties.
California’s win rate against the Trump Administration in court is 83%.

Attention: new original data source unlocked! Based on federal budget reports, I estimated the number of Russian troops in Ukraine, both mobilized and contract soldiers. The numbers are based on different salary top-ups that Russian troops in Ukraine receive. janiskluge.substack.com/p/the-compos...

Russland: Nächste Eskalationsstufe: Mord?
Ermittler durchkreuzen Vorbereitungen für ein russisches Attentat auf einen deutschen Rüstungsunternehmer. Doch es gibt noch einen zweiten besorgniserregenden Fall.

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com · 10h agoDie Zeit reports Russian intelligence planned to assassinate Stefan Thumann, head of German drone maker Donaustahl. German services thwarted the plot after allied countries warned them, and Thumann is now under increased protection. He has not attended trade fairs for security reasons. #Ukraine
🔥 In July 2026 alone, the Ukrainian Defense Forces neutralized 2,016 enemy artillery systems. In total, since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the enemy has lost more than 47,000 artillery systems.
Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals
❗️ Russia is methodically hitting the only aeration station that purifies the wastewater of Kyiv and nearby cities with ballistic missiles - the enemy wants to cause a humanitarian catastrophe, writes the head of the Eidos analytical center. There is no backup system.
🇺🇦🚀 In the first half of 2026, Ukraine received three times fewer missiles for air defense than in the same period in 2025, - Zelensky "And we are talking about all periods of the first half of 2026. The partners have missiles. It is important that there are still necessary political decisions…"
🇺🇦❗️🇰🇵 DPRK installations will be destroyed if Russia deploys them on its territory to strike Ukraine, - Foreign Minister
🚫🚢 Russia has effectively blocked the sea route for the export of Ukrainian products with its terror, - Sybiha Ukraine intensified consultations with Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland on expanding land "solidarity corridors" for the transit of Ukrainian grain.
Deutschland muss sich endlich wehren. Die hybride Kriegsführung trifft uns täglich – und wir reagieren noch immer zu langsam, zu zögerlich, zu fragmentiert. Hybride Kriegsführung einfach hinzunehmen, kann keine Lösung sein. dgap.org/de/forschung...
Aufklären, Abschrecken, Verteidigen
Die Zeit der Weckrufe ist vorbei. Deutschland muss handeln, um hybride Angriffe wirksamer abzuwehren und auch abzuschrecken.

😔 78 facilities were damaged in the Kyiv region during the night attack by Russia, - Timur Tkachenko 13 warehouse buildings, a production facility, four private households, a greenhouse farm and 59 vehicles.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
I can’t even find many Republicans who are still backing Max Miller after yesterday. Except the moral paragons Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership of the House.
🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ursula von der Leyen: Russia must pay for the destruction it has caused. And we are using the proceeds from the immobilised Russian assets to make sure it does. We are making a further €1.4 billion of them available to Ukraine.
Die Ukraine braucht Patriot- Lenkflugkörper sowie operative und materielle Hilfe, um gegen Russlands Raketenindustrie, Abschussrampen und Logistik Schläge durchzuführen.
Fehlende Abwehr gegen russische ballistische Raketen bleibt die Schwäche der Ukraine. Putin nutzt das brutal aus und produziert immer mehr zivile Todesopfer. Das wird den Krieg nicht für Russland wenden. Europa kann dem ständigen Mord an Zivilisten nicht weiter einfach zusehen
Wieder ein verheerender Angriff auf Kiew. Alle 28 Raketen kamen durch - die Patriots scheinen nahezu vollständig verbraucht zu sein Die UA sollten sich sehr gut überlegen, ob sie wirklich Drohnen an USA liefern wollen ohne entsprechende Gegenleistung
🪖MilitaryNewsUA🇺🇦@militarynewsua.bsky.social · 16h ago❗️During the night, Ukrainian forces shot down 0/4 anti-ship missiles “Zircon”/Oniks, 0/24 ballistic Iskander-M/S-400 missiles, and 98/115 enemy UAVs. ❗️The main direction of the strike was Kyiv region!
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Reuters: The U.S. is continuing talks to let Ukraine produce Patriot interceptor missiles or components, despite Trump's doubts about deal. Options include manufacturing parts in Ukraine for final assembly in Germany, but any agreement would take at least a year before delivering new missiles.
