CONGRESS PULLED THE WOOL OVER AMERICANS’ EYES ON RUSSIA SANCTIONS Congress passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act while deliberately including Section 115, the provision that lets the President nullify the sanctions and duties with a simple national-interest certification. Members knew the escape hatch was written into the bill. In the House, 152 Democrats voted against it, many citing the waiver and the broad presidential power it created. Fifty-eight Democrats and 203 Republicans voted yes anyway. The public was told Congress had finally forced real pressure on Russia. They were NOT told Congress had built in the exact mechanism the President later used to wipe the measures out before they even took effect. That was not an oversight. It was the legislation Congress chose to pass. Hold your Reps and Senators accountable!

Hey MAGAts, at this point you have to ask yourselves how Trump would behave any differently if he didn't directly work for Vladimir Putin. Trump cancelled sanctions. He fawns over Putin in public. He turned off Starlink. I mean c'mon, even you aren't this dumb

A grand jury found that the James Uthmeier-led DeSantis administration misappropriated $10 million of Medicaid money in 2024 as part of a sophisticated scheme to fund political activities. You know how I know that? Because the First District Court of Appeal disclosed it.

US HAS NO RIGHT TO THREATEN EU OVER STARLINK US Ambassador Andrew Puzder warned European firms of “devastating” retaliation if Brussels limits Starlink’s access to the 2GHz spectrum band. The EU’s plan prioritises its own systems and startups to end dependence on SpaceX. Washington has no right to meddle in EU spectrum policy or business. This is especially clear after Starlink was throttled in Ukraine this month, disrupting drone operations and putting Ukrainian lives at risk. Reports indicate the White House ordered the limits. Europe must reject the threats and control its own airwaves. europeanbusinessmagazine.com…

Should the United States of America really be putting important national security decisions in the hands of a South African trillionaire – who has reportedly used “special K” on a regular basis? Restricting Starlink access, a critical part of Ukrainian defense, is beyond the pale. DOGE was a complete and utter failure. Why would we trust this guy with anything of importance? newsweek.com/ukraine-starlin…

Emboldened by Trump, Putin keeps pounding Ukraine. Russia launched 16 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and the surrounding region overnight, while also targeting energy infrastructure in 11 regions across the country. At least one person was killed and 10 injured in Kyiv, and at least 550,000 households were left without electricity. “Another Russian ballistic missile attack came in several waves overnight, and once again, there was no early warning from our partners,” President Zelensky said.

Welcome to the “free” state of FL! As a reminder, the GOP threatened broadcast companies during the 2024 election cycle, and has targeted billboard companies too. If you want to stop corruption, address the affordability crisis, and get your freedom of speech back— vote Democrat!
BREAKING: The Republican Party of Florida wants a judge to pull a Democratic TV ad about the Hope Florida grand jury report. It says airing the report's "content, gist, or import" is now a crime. The lawsuit, filed at 11:36 p.m. Friday in Highlands County, targets the Florida Democratic Party, its three statewide candidates and 11 TV stations in Orlando and Tampa Bay. The party also referred the stations to FDLE and prosecutors. One copy went to the statewide prosecutor, who works in AG James Uthmeier's office. Uthmeier is the candidate the ad targets. What the lawsuit leaves out: - The grand jury report has been public since Aug. 26. - The appeals court ruling it relies on isn't final until Friday at the earliest. - The U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the same secrecy law in 1990. Early voting starts Monday in many counties. floridatrident.org/florida-g…

ICE run over U.S. citizen riding his bike—break his arm. Agents handcuff him behind his back without calling paramedics. They inflict even more injuries—send him to the hospital in serious condition. Then agents detain another U.S. citizen—for yelling at them on the sidewalk. Man with the broken arm's daughter says he was hit on his e-bike by an unmarked car. He was then tased twice and pinned to the ground—currently receiving treatment at the hospital. Multiple ICE vehicles were running through stop signs—speeding the wrong way down one-way streets. All on a weekend afternoon with kids playing outside. Incident occurred near the intersection of East 56th Street & Elm Avenue in Long Beach, California. Stop ICE Net doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.

.@LauraLoomer, you went to Ukraine. You heard the sirens. You saw the destruction. You spoke to President @ZelenskyyUa . You’ve spoken publicly about changing your position. I welcome that. But what you do next matters. If you’re serious about standing with Ukraine, you have to be willing to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable. You cannot demand accountability from everyone around him and give the man making the decisions a permanent pass. You have his ear. Use it. Tell him Ukrainian lives cannot become bargaining chips. Tell him to put pressure on Putin to stop the killing and give Ukraine the support it needs to protect its people. And call out @SteveWitkoff and @jaredkushner . What they’re pursuing goes far beyond peace negotiations: energy deals, business interests, and arrangements involving Russia, the Saudis, and the Qataris. They need to explain whose interests they’re representing and what business discussions are taking place alongside these negotiations. You have access to the president. You have a platform. You have an opportunity to push him to help stop this bloodshed. If you choose to protect him from accountability after seeing Ukraine’s suffering firsthand, history will judge that choice. You cannot claim you didn’t know. And you cannot wash your hands of the consequences.

AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY! Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!

Anyone who believes this big bag of BS👇🏽– is beyond help!
Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"

Democratic Congressman Don Beyer: “Congress must fix this flawed law to stop Trump from capitulating to Putin and ensure that it truly supports Ukraine.”
Trump signed an executive order Friday suspending sweeping tariffs and sanctions targeting Russia, just two days before they were set to take effect under the Lindsey Graham sanctions law he signed last month. Trump told Congress the move was in the U.S. “national interest.”
