A course of action has been approved – to increase the financial sustainability of our defense and ensure the continued transformation of the Ukrainian Army. First – pay. We have the resources to increase pay in the military. The minimum will be 30,000 hryvnias in rear areas. The more combat missions, the higher the level of pay. There will be new, significantly stronger contracts for infantry personnel. On average, 300,000 hryvnias on the front line. Everything depends on our Ukrainian infantryman. The contracts will be structured to ensure clarity: contract terms of 10, 14, and 24 months with clear conditions – meaning clear temporary discharge. Guaranteed terms – and real temporary discharge. In addition, payments for Ukrainian combat commanders will be increased, and this should create a positive incentive to preserve command experience within the Army. Second, I am grateful to all the volunteers from other countries who are fighting for freedom in Ukraine. I have instructed that significantly more opportunities be opened for foreign volunteers to join the Ukrainian Army. There will be additional recruitment mechanisms to support this. Third, further simplification of transfers for warriors, more opportunities to advance within the Army, and more positive incentives to join the defense. I expect every element of the changes now being implemented to show its effectiveness this summer. The Ministry of Defense will present the details of the decisions.

OBAMA: $1.7 billion to reduce Iranian uranium stockpile for 98% and cap enrichment at 3.67% TRUMP: $23 billion for just a commitment to TALKS about uranium and nuclear program. This isn’t a deal. Trump surrendered.

Trump has now used the Situation Room to coordinate the Epstein cover-up. To Trump, the real national security emergencies are planning illegal wars and covering up the evidence of his longtime involvement with the Epstein network.

New reporting shows the Trump Administration turned the Situation Room into an “Epstein war room.” The Situation Room is meant for national security matters, not pedophile coverups. Trump is focused on protecting himself—not YOU.

BREAKING: Iranian state media, via Reuters, says the draft memorandum with Washington commits the United States to lifting sanctions and withdrawing its forces from the vicinity of Iran. The White House calls it a fabrication, then confirms most of the substance itself. Stay with me here, because the sequence of events deserves to be written down slowly. In 2018, Donald Trump tore up the Iran nuclear deal. The worst deal ever made, he said. Obama had shipped Iran's enriched uranium out of the country and put inspectors inside its facilities, and this, apparently, was weakness. In February 2026, Trump went further. The opening strike was pure Caracas swagger, a decapitation operation that actually killed Iran's supreme leader on day one. Regime change, he and Netanyahu announced, urging Iranians into the streets. The regime did not change. It promoted the dead man's son and kept shooting. Here is the detail historians will struggle with: according to Oman's foreign minister, who was mediating, Iran had already agreed to demands on dismantling its nuclear program before the bombs fell. There was a deal on the table. They bombed it. Then came three months in which the most expensive military on earth could neither win nor leave. Trump has declared peace at hand so many times the announcements have lost exchange value. A deal largely negotiated. A breakthrough within hours. Strikes described, in his own words, as a little friendly nudge. Meanwhile Kuwait accidentally shot down three American F-15s, an American missile destroyed a girls' school and killed at least 168 people, mostly children, which the president first blamed on Iran until the Pentagon's own investigation pointed home. Thirteen American soldiers came back in coffins. And while Washington flailed, your life got more expensive. The Hormuz closure is the largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market. Inflation is climbing on every continent, rate cuts are dead, and the IMF is gaming out a global recession. The entire planet is paying interest on one man's temper. Now the ending. The deal taking shape gives Iran sanctions relief, frozen billions and an American withdrawal from the neighborhood, while the uranium stays in Iran, under a mountain, fate to be discussed later. Which means the United States fought a fifteen-week war, at biblical expense, to arrive at a worse version of the agreement its own president destroyed for being too weak. He did not lose to Iran. He lost to himself, eight years ago, and it took two thousand dead people to deliver the message. Keep an eye on the signing.

The grift here is astounding. The "Trump Kennedy Center" people tried to outright STEAL more than half of a $300,000 bequest to the Washington National Opera made in a donor's will — even though the funds were intended to go solely to WNO. x.com/nytimes/status…

The Trump administration did not provide Jane Doe 4’s interviews willingly. It was thanks to clever reporting from @sollenbergerrc that the world figured out the MAGA DOJ was hiding claims about Trump, and only under enormous pressure, the DOJ released SOME of the missing information. sollenbergerrc.substack.com/p/fbi-intervie…

I thank all our people who are fighting for Ukraine, working for our state, and helping defend our national interests. And I thank all our partners in the EU and every leader personally for this strong step for the sake of Europe. Ukraine is defending itself and, in doing so, all of Europe – the idea that European nations can live united, free, and in peace. As we have said, Ukraine is doing what is necessary, and it is important that the EU is also keeping its word. The opening of the first cluster is significant political and moral support for our state and our people. We also thank Europe for all its other support – support that shows true leadership and helps us protect lives. Everything has also been done to open the next clusters. We also congratulate Moldova on this step, which we are taking together.

The "Trump Kennedy Center" apparently repeatedly ignored the terms of a contract with the Washington National Opera, locked the WNO out from viewing their own financial records, and is now refusing to return$17 million of their own money — and even already spent some of it!

@BohuslavskaKate @J1gglyf3lla If King Charles decides to visit Ukraine, it would be an incredible show of support and a major morale boost for Ukrainians. Not to mention, it would be a nice jab at those in the Trump administration who are too afraid to visit Ukraine themselves.

GUARDIAN: You said King Charles had raised Ukraine with Trump. Is he still helping you? ZELENSKYY: Yes, but I will not tell you how. GUARDIAN: What's he doing? ZELENSKYY: No, I can't. It's up to His Majesty to answer such questions. GUARDIAN: You have good relationship? ZELENSKYY: Yeah, we have very good relationship. We and Ukraine love His Majesty. You know, this morning when I spoke by phone with my wife, first of all — with all respect to Keir — my wife said, "Best regards to His Majesty." And then to Prime Minister, of course. GUARDIAN: Would you like to invite King Charles to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian people one day? ZELENSKYY: Between us, this very day, today, I want to invite him very much. I don't know from security point of view and so on. Yes, of course, we want to see him in Ukraine very much.

Meanwhile Putin invades Ukraine because it wants to be a democracy and free market system aligned with the West, and delivers ultimatums to the Baltics and other neighbors.

SEN. KELLY: I think it's fair to say that right now Ukrainians are winning. Russians are struggling with their offensive, losing upwards of 35,000 troops every month, having hard time replacing those losses. Ukrainians even starting to regain territory. So, momentum is shifting.

One of the most effective ways to hurt a European country's defense industry and kill thousands of high-tech manufacturing jobs is to elect a pro-Russian government. Voters in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom need to realize that supporting pro-Russian far-right (or far-left) parties will cause frontline allies to boycott their military exports. Billions of euros worth of deals will be lost. Nations on the Russian border require certainty from their security partners. They are not going to depend on military hardware produced by a nation led by Kremlin sympathizers. When trust evaporates, lucrative defense contracts will vanish along with it, leaving the domestic industry isolated and broken. This dynamic is not hypothetical. The global market is already reacting to political instability, as seen when Denmark bypassed the American Patriot system in favor of European alternatives partly due to the risk of an unpredictable Trump administration. The exact same pattern will repeat inside Europe if major defense exporters choose a political path that alienates their neighbors. The industry is already feeling the pinch from the sheer risk of far-right victories, which stalls negotiations and discourages joint defense projects. An actual electoral win will amplify this damage across the entire economy, impacting other critical sectors. Western European voters must think twice before casting a vote that could instantly wipe out billions of dollars in strategic trade

As far as I can tell, Tulsi’s big “secret biolab” bombshell is recycled Kremlin propaganda. These labs were never secret. The U.S. spent decades funding biosafety and disease-surveillance work abroad under Nunn-Lugar, with the facility lists posted publicly by the State Department and our own embassy in Kyiv. Russia invented the “secret bioweapons” spin in 2022 to help justify invading Ukraine. Our own intelligence flagged it as disinformation. Now Tulsi is laundering that exact line, while conveniently forgetting the first Trump administration funded this same research. Nothing was hidden and the only thing being manufactured here is the coverup. Tulsi, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in. When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from. He told them he born in Laredo, Texas. But that was not good enough. The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?” He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again. The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it. Being on a bike isn’t a crime. You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not. So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal. And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses. If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

Why would anyone be against this?

🚨WOW. Hunter Biden delivers a surprisingly insightful explanation of the difference between authenticity and audacity on Gavin Newsom’s podcast. Then he unloads on Trump: "Donald Trump has the audacity to say that he's 6'3" and weighs 224 pounds... when we both know he's 5'11", 300." "This is the difference between being audacious and authentic."
