Talarico: "Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. We just found out that the richest man in the world is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the Senate and defeat the movement that we are building. In all likelihood, if you've seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon. If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos. That was Elon too."

🚨 "WILL TRUMP ONLY ACCEPT THE VOTE IF HE WINS? JANUARY 6, 2021, IS NOT A DETAIL TO BE FORGOTTEN."
"I will respect the election results, provided they are honest."
Translation: the vote is fine—as long as I like the outcome? 🤡
Before dismissing this statement as just another outlandish remark, let’s take a quick look back at recent American history.
📌 NOVEMBER 2020: Trump loses the presidential election to Joe Biden and cries "fraud." Yet, no evidence emerges that is sufficient to prove fraud on a scale capable of overturning the result. The accusations are rejected in court, and even his own aides tell him there is no basis for his claims.
📌 JANUARY 6, 2021: As Congress gathers to certify Biden’s victory, a mob of Trump supporters storms Capitol Hill. Congress is forced to halt its proceedings. People are injured, lawmakers are put in danger, and American democracy comes under attack.
And what about Trump? According to the final report from the House select committee, he continued to push false claims of fraud and failed to intervene promptly to urge his supporters to disperse.
📌 "AND NOW?" On the eve of the midterm elections—this time looking toward November 3, 2026—the same question arises: if he doesn't like the outcome, will he accept the verdict of the ballot box?
Because that is precisely the point: "In a democracy, it is not the candidate who decides whether an election is legitimate. It is the rules, the verified votes, the oversight processes, and the institutions."
If there is concrete evidence of irregularities, an investigation takes place. If there are well-founded challenges, they are addressed through the proper legal channels. But to suggest in advance that a vote is only legitimate under certain conditions is to fuel distrust in the very system one claims to be defending.
And after January 6, 2021, no one can pretend not to know how dangerous this dynamic can become.
"Democracy is not a personal toy. Elections are not valid only when one’s own candidate wins. And the Capitol is not a stage for turning an electoral defeat into a show of force."
The question is not whether Trump has the right to challenge potential irregularities—of course he does.
The question is: "If he loses, will he accept that it is the voters who decide, or will he once again seek to delegitimize the result?"
January 6 has already shown us where such an escalation can lead.
And those who say "it won't happen again" should remember one thing: democracy is not defended by taking for granted that it will withstand anything. It is defended by demanding that those who govern respect its rules.
"BECAUSE A VOTE IS NOT VALID ONLY WHEN TRUMP WINS. IT IS ALSO VALID WHEN TRUMP LOSES." 🇺🇸

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine's positions on the front remain the strongest in a long time of the war.
The President noted that Ukraine would be in a much better position if partners provided assistance to the Ukrainian air defense.
🇮🇹 Ukraine has been waiting for military aid from Italy since December last year
The package is ready, the missiles are waiting, but there's still no authorization to send them, La Repubblica reports.
“The main thing is to delay, delay, delay,” the newspaper describes the current situation.
The reason? The US midterm elections on November 3, whose results Rome is waiting for.
Meanwhile, Kyiv is waiting for something far from insignificant: the package includes air defense missiles.

THIS IS PETE. Pete leads the largest federal department — Defense. Pete caused quite a stir earlier this year when he said the military has “lowered its standards” so that women can join. And then, he revealed he doesn’t think women should be allowed to vote. PERIOD.
Yes, you read that right: in the year 2026, the man sixth in line to be president doesn’t believe more than half the country should be able to vote.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Hegseth made this revelation by reposting and praising a video interview of a self-described “Christian nationalist pastor.” whose church doesn't believe women shouldn't be allowed to vote.
In it, Doug Wilson, senior pastor of Christ Church in Idaho, said, "Women are the kind of people that people come out of."
A fellow pastor also said that families should vote as a household, with the husband and father casting the vote.
LET’S BE CLEAR: Not only is Pete the least qualified person to EVER run the US Dept. of Defense (shoutout to Donald for putting him there!) — he admitted to having FIVE affairs during his first marriage, he’s currently on his third, and has more than a dozen abuse and sexual assault allegations against him.
Don’t believe “the news”⁉️ Take it from his own mother, who wrote in an April 2018 email to her son ⤵️
“You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years).”

Раскрыто содержание напряженного разговора Буданова с командой Трампа
Переговоры украинской делегации со спецпосланниками Дональда Трампа в Майами, как пишет Le Monde, переросли в конфликт. По данным издания, во время трехчасовой встречи в гольф-клубе Shell Bay Стив Уиткофф «с раздражением» требовал от главы офиса Зеленского Кирилла Буданова прекратить удары по российским НПЗ.
Буданов, по информации Le Monde, «с трудом сдерживал гнев» и чувствовал, что с ним «обращаются как с ребенком, пытаясь научить зарабатывать деньги». Американцы представили масштабный план послевоенного «регионального процветания», который предполагал возобновление прокачки российских нефти и газа в Европу через Украину с выплатой Киеву дивидендов.
Буданов возмутился, что такая сделка привяжет Украину к Москве, после чего переговоры прервались. Когда встреча возобновилась, американцы предложили принять сделку по поставкам российского дизеля в США.
Источники издания отмечают, что никогда не видели украинцев «настолько расстроенными и встревоженными». В окружении Зеленского ситуацию назвали «безнадежной», поскольку посланники Трампа «думают только о бизнесе»

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

Browder: Putin didn't dislike the oligarchs.
He just didn't like that they were rich and he was poor.
He arrested Russia's richest oligarch, Khodorkovsky, and put him in a cage on television.
The other oligarchs asked what they had to do to avoid the same fate.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 IF STORM SHADOW CAN REACH RUSSIA, IMAGINE WHAT AN UNRESTRICTED UKRAINIAN ARSENAL COULD DO 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇪
British-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles have been demonstrating their value to Ukraine, with recent strikes drawing renewed attention to the vulnerability of Russian military and defence-industrial infrastructure.
Now imagine Ukraine operating with a much broader selection of Western long-range weapons, without political restrictions on their employment against legitimate military targets.
American ATACMS ballistic missiles. German Taurus cruise missiles. American JASSM-ER air-launched missiles. Tomahawk cruise missiles.
These are different weapons, with different ranges, flight profiles, launch requirements and operational advantages. They are not interchangeable, and Ukraine would need compatible launch platforms, sufficient ammunition and the necessary targeting capabilities to employ them effectively.
But the strategic implications of combining such systems would be considerable.
Russia would face a more complicated defensive problem, having to protect military airfields, ammunition depots, logistics hubs, command facilities and defence-industrial sites against several types of long-range threats.
That would force Moscow to make difficult choices about where to concentrate its air defences and which military assets to prioritize.
Long-range weapons cannot win a war by themselves, and even sophisticated missiles can be intercepted. But they can make it significantly harder for an invading army to sustain operations while treating infrastructure deep behind the front as relatively secure.
Storm Shadow has already shown why long-range precision strike capabilities matter.
The bigger question is how much Ukraine’s operational options would expand if it had access to the full range of Western systems, in meaningful quantities and without the restrictions that have repeatedly shaped their use.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Justice is coming for Renée Good 💙
The 37-year old mother did not deserve to be gruesomely lynched in front of her partner and dog.
The video of the aggravated murder sparked nationwide outrage, with the majority of Americans arguing that deadly force was NOT necessary and that she was simply trying to leave the scene, not kill anyone.
After she was shot point blank in the neck and face, Agent Ross can be heard saying, "Fucking bitch."
Don't look away. Look at her son. Look at her.
And when MAGA tries to say she shouldn't have tried to use "deadly force" against Agent Ross, who stepped in front of car that was driving 0.5mph, pls tell them to kindly go fuck themselves all all their MAGA friends.

Only Trump can save Putin. Europe should have stepped up support and weapons production long ago, and with urgency as soon as Trump was reelected. Whatever they need to spend now to defend Ukraine is a pittance compared to what they would be forced to spend if Putin advances.
"Nor are Europeans quitting on Ukraine. Although Putin hoped that the withdrawal of American military and economic aid early in Trump’s second term would lead to a quick Ukrainian collapse or capitulation, he did not anticipate how willing and capable European countries would be in filling the American void."

“I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS”: VIRGIN GROUP FOUNDER RICHARD BRANSON ISSUES A POWERFUL STATEMENT SUPPORTING UKRAINE 🇬🇧🇺🇦
British billionaire, philanthropist, and Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson has reportedly published an unusually forceful statement on LinkedIn.
Branson, whose business empire includes Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Galactic, and hundreds of other companies, reportedly directed his message at international business leaders, investors, and European governments.
FULL TEXT OF THE STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO RICHARD BRANSON:
“I never thought I would have to say this in my lifetime, but it is 2026, and the Trump administration has become an appeaser of autocrats and dictators.
What is it about Putin that makes President Trump so eager to please him? The slowing and restricting of Starlink/Starshield operations, along with the inexplicable failure to provide advance warnings of Russian missile launches, have already resulted in Ukrainian civilians dying needlessly. How much worse can this get?
The one thing that has become absolutely clear is that European leaders must overcome their initial shock at Trump's actions and take the initiative themselves.
Both Europe's freedom and Ukraine's sovereignty are at stake. Our responsibility is to ensure that the free world is not destroyed before our very eyes.”
A WARNING FROM A GLOBAL BUSINESS LEADER
As the founder of Virgin Group, Branson is sending a message to the international corporate community: remaining silent about the appeasement of autocrats is no longer acceptable when global stability and security are at risk.
A DIRECT CALL FOR EUROPE TO TAKE THE LEAD
The central message attributed to Branson is that European governments and business leaders must stop relying on the unpredictable policies of the White House.
European countries must take greater responsibility for providing decisive military and financial assistance to Ukraine, investing in their own defense industries, and protecting democratic values.
A LONG-STANDING SUPPORTER OF UKRAINE
Sir Richard Branson was among the prominent international business figures who personally visited Ukraine after Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
He is also an official ambassador of UNITED24, Ukraine's fundraising platform.
If authenticated, this LinkedIn statement would represent another significant intervention by Branson in support of Ukraine and an appeal to the global business community to defend European security and Ukrainian sovereignty.

🇷🇺 A rare confession from a Putin propagandist: Russia can no longer launch an offensive!
Blogger Mikhail Zvinchuk ("Rybar"), speaking live on "Soloviev Live," stated that the Russian offensive in Ukraine has been paralyzed by Ukrainian drones.
Furthermore, there is no possibility of resolving the situation through additional mobilization.
- 120 km: the depth at which Ukrainian drones are pulverizing Russian logistics trucks, one by one.
- Over 100 km: the depth at which Russian logistics were destroyed during the Ukrainian "Vivaldi" counteroffensive.
His words are almost poetic:
"Right now, first and foremost, there are no men. We lack the forces and resources for a major offensive. (...) If large columns were to advance, it would be impossible to ensure their control or security. (...) Even isolated vehicles are being taken out 120 km behind the lines. Just imagine what would happen if they were large columns."
In other words: even the Russian army acknowledges that massing forces at the front is suicidal.
And dispersing them is just as dangerous…

Spoke with President of Finland @alexstubb and Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore following their call today with the Russian leader and as a continuation of our discussions in Oslo with representatives of America, Europe, and NATO. I am grateful for the detailed briefing and for their active support for our diplomacy and the peace efforts we are pursuing together with all our partners.
Alex and Jonas made it clear to the Russian leader that real de-escalatory steps are needed regarding our energy and infrastructure. We discussed preparations for the trilateral meeting planned for November at the team level – Ukrainian, American, and Russian. Finland and Norway, as countries that border Russia, have a particular interest in sound and reliable security arrangements. We also discussed various formats for our engagement with partners in Europe that could be useful in further supporting diplomacy, our defense, and our shared security.
There must be peace, de-escalation is needed, and Russia must stop dragging out the war. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!
