Maybe Trump trying to make Canadians our enemies and the Russians our friends wasn’t the best plan.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 ZELENSKYY REVEALS TRUMP REFUSED TO LIFT RESTRICTIONS ON STRIKING RUSSIAN MISSILE LAUNCHERS
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has spoken about his increasingly emotional relationship with Donald Trump, revealing disagreements over Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russian attacks.
He says he personally asked Trump three or four times to lift restrictions associated with SpaceX’s Starshield system so Ukraine could target Russian ballistic missile launch sites.
Zelenskyy argued that America could never supply enough Patriot interceptors to meet the needs of both Ukraine and the Middle East.
Trump promised to try to help, he said, but indicated that the decision largely depended on SpaceX.
The restrictions were never lifted, according to Zelenskyy.
He also described how Ukraine had initially offered to refrain from attacking Russian oil refineries, hoping Moscow would reciprocate by leaving Ukrainian energy infrastructure alone.
Russia continued striking Ukraine’s electricity, gas and energy facilities. After four days of attacks, Ukraine retaliated.
But perhaps the most personal part of Zelenskyy’s remarks concerned his 13-year-old son.
Because of Russia’s invasion, he said, Ukrainian children understand things no child should have to understand so young.
“My son is 13, but he knows everything about this war.”
Zelenskyy described Ukrainian children as intelligent, patriotic and forced to mature far too quickly.
“They carry a light within them. They help us to live and to survive.”
Behind the arguments over weapons, restrictions and diplomacy is a generation growing up with air raid alerts, missile attacks and the constant uncertainty of war.
And while world leaders debate what Ukraine should or shouldn’t be allowed to do, those children are living with the consequences every day.

Over the past year, a coalition of Putin, Musk and MAGA allocated huge resources to swinging the following elections toward pro-Russia, anti-EU, far-right fascism, losing each.
Romania — May 18, 2025
Moldova — September 28, 2025
Germany — February 23, 2025
Hungary — April 12, 2026
United States — November 3, 2026
This May, the big test will be France, wherein a far-right pro-Russian candidate is up against a far-right pro-Russian candidate, with a moderate considerably behind.
Still time for the rise of the far-middle.

Trump ravaged conservative South with his trade war. In unexpected battleground state Mississippi, international trade supports 20% of all employment. Top destination for Mississippi exports? Trump arch-enemy, Canada.

התוצאה הלילה בארצות-הברית היא רעידת אדמה פוליטית, ויש לה השלכות חשובות מאד על ישראל. קחו כמה דקות לקרוא, זה חשוב.
הדמוקרטים השיגו הלילה ניצחון מוחלט, אבל באמת, לא בסיסמא. ניצחון שגם הסקרים הכי אופטימיים עבורם לא יכלו לחזות.
הם מסיימים את הלילה עם כ-250 מושבים בקונגרס, הרוב הכי גדול בעשרים שנה האחרונות, ועם שורה של ניצחונות בלתי-נתפסים בסנאט: טקסס, קנזס, דרום קרוליינה - מדינות שהם לא ניצחו בהן עשרות שנים.
טראמפ חטף מפלה היסטורית, והשנתיים האחרונות של הנשיאות שלו יוקדשו לחקירות בלתי-פוסקות שלו, של משפחתו, של יועציו ואנשיו, על-ידי ועדות הקונגרס בשליטת הדמוקרטים. הוא לא יכול יותר למנות שופטים, לא יכול לקדם חקיקה, וגם הכוח שלו לקדם הסכמים בינלאומיים מאד מוגבל - קשה לדמיין את הקונגרס הזה מאשר חבילת הטבות ענקית לסעודיה בשביל הסכם עם ישראל. לפחות לא כל עוד נתניהו ראש ממשלה.
דבר אחד צריך להיות ברור, גם לאור ההתחזקות המטאורית של הדמוקרטים וגם לאור הכעס והאכזבה בצד הרפבוליקאי: המשך כהונתו של נתניהו זו סכנה מיידית ליחסים המיוחדים שלנו עם ארצות הברית.
נתניהו רעיל בעיני הדמוקרטים, הם זועמים עליו על היחס המשפיל שלו כלפי אובמה וביידן, על כפיות הטובה כלפי יהדות ארצות-הברית, על ההתערבות הבלתי-פוסקת שלו בפוליטיקה הפנימית שלהם.
העניין הוא שאחרי הלילה הזה, נתניהו הופך לרעיל גם בעיני הרפובליקאים. הם הולכים להאשים אותו בהפסד שלהם, בתור מי שדחף את הנשיא טראמפ לסבב לחימה ארוך, יקר ומתסכל מול איראן. פרשנים שמקורבים לסגן הנשיא ואנס כבר מתחילים לצייץ את המסר הזה: הפסדנו בגלל שהקשבנו לנתניהו. המסר הזה רק יילך ויתחזק בימים הקרובים.
המשך כהונה שלו זה מתכון לאסון בזירה האמריקאית, במיוחד אחרי הניסיון המחפיר שלו לבטל את תוצאות הבחירות בישראל ולגייס למשימה המלוכלכת הזו את ראש השב"כ זיני. חשוב לזכור, אין לישראל תחליף לארצות-הברית בזירה הבינלאומית, פשוט אין. וכיום בארה"ב, המותג נתניהו הוא מותג רע מאד, שגורם נזק מסוכן לישראל.
הערה לגבי המשא ומתן הקואליציוני: נתניהו מבטיח לשותפים שלו לצאת לבחירות נוספות ולהביא בהן 61 מנדטים. זו הבטחה שקרית. גם אם הוא יביא 61 מנדטים בבחירות חוזרות (אני בספק אם זה יכול לקרות), נתניהו לא יוכל להקים שוב ממשלה עם בן-גביר, אלא אם הוא רוצה להביא סנקציות משתקות על מדינת ישראל. גם סמוטריץ והמפלגות החרדיות צריכים להבין את זה. ממשלת בן-גביר 2.0 לא תקום, אלא אם רוצים שמדינת ישראל פשוט תתאבד.
אם ישראל רוצה להתחיל לשקם את מעמדה הגרוע מאד בארה"ב, היא חייבת להיפרד מנתניהו. זה לא יפתור את כל הבעיות שלנו בזירה האמריקאית, אפילו לא חצי מהן. אבל זה צעד ראשון והכרחי, שבלעדיו הדברים הולכים להידרדר למקומות מסוכנים מאד.

Well?
I'll delete my account if Democrats win the midterms tomorrow.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Democrats won the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms. @jackunheard pledged to delete his account if the Democrats won, but later said he would not.
His account remains active, despite his initial promise being broken.

Republican Congressman @RepBrianFitz (PA-01), one of the leaders of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus and one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters in Congress, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Bob Harvie won the race.

A massive escalation in the war being waged against Europe is happening.
Refrigerators hacked, bomb threats targeting 271 schools in Italy, dozens of sites in Bulgaria, and civilian aircraft across Europe.
My theory: AI is helping scale these operations. Hacking is becoming easier, while automated calling and AI-generated voices make mass threats cheap and easy to execute.
This is the new front line, and it will only get worse from here.

Zelenskyy: A phone call with Putin would be an official, dry conversation where I again listen to a historical lecture from the Russian leader.
Russia would use a call as an excuse to stop meeting. To end the war, we must meet and make the first step: a ceasefire. 1/

Just got a call from a Republican source after texting a mildly ironic comment. Was expecting doom and gloom. I heard something slightly different.
“There are many in the GOP who saw this coming and wanted to save the administration from themselves via targeted oversight against the most cancerous and dumb elements within it, but were constrained. Now there could be a real opportunity to address very serious problems that are long overdue, but only if the Dems resist the urge to overreach.”
You are more than welcome to speculate as to who the “cancerous and dumb” elements are.

Zelenskyy: “… The situation in Kyiv is particularly difficult at the moment – people and businesses are facing power and water outages lasting many hours. The situation is also difficult in the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, as well as in the Donetsk region”
I held a coordination call on addressing the aftermath of Russian strikes and restoring power supplies. Russian strikes continue virtually every day, and work to restore energy infrastructure is likewise continuing around the clock. I thank all repair crews, every energy company, the specialists of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all the services involved that are truly working effectively for people and to ensure that cities and communities have the necessary utilities.
Unfortunately, due to repeated strikes and constant air raid alerts, repairs are taking significantly longer. But reserves of the necessary equipment have been built up, and restoration must follow every strike. We are working with our partners to replenish our reserves promptly – agreements on new energy support packages are already in place.
The situation in Kyiv is particularly difficult at the moment – people and businesses are facing power and water outages lasting many hours. The situation is also difficult in the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, as well as in the Donetsk region, where there are extraordinary challenges due to the hostilities. There are rolling and emergency power outages in the southern regions.
But no matter how difficult things are, government agencies, regional and local authorities, and EVERY company that supplies people with electricity, heat, and water must work as swiftly and comprehensively as possible across the entire country – regardless of the ownership structure of these companies. I instructed the government and law enforcement agencies to present, by the end of the day, a list of appropriate measures to ensure full cooperation with those companies that are currently falling behind in repairs and restoration.
There was also a separate report from the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the organization of electronic warfare operations. We determined the necessary steps. I thank everyone who is truly working for people and working swiftly!

Democrat Nancy Lacore, a retired Navy admiral who was FIRED by Pete Hegseth, is projected to WIN the congressional seat formerly held by Republican Nancy Mace, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Trump won this district by 13 POINTS in 2024!
Lacore, who served more than 30 years in the Navy and oversaw more than 60,000 sailors, campaigned against Hegseth’s disastrous Pentagon leadership and Trump’s increasingly unpopular war in Iran.
Now she’s headed to Congress after flipping a traditionally Republican district that had been gerrymandered to favor the GOP.
