Kyiv Pushes Back On Trump’s Call For A New Ukrainian President As Drones Hit Russian Data Hub

Andrii Sybihaukrainian Foreign Minister
He has the support of the Ukrainian people, and they have the right to decide. Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing his job well,
Donald Trumppresident
I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal because he could have made many deals and for some reason he never does,
As a result of the drone attack, the infrastructure of Yandex's data center in Vladimir was damaged. Operations at the data center have been completely halted. There were no injuries,
It is possible to stop strikes on energy infrastructure as early as today, but (Russian President Vladimir) Putin does not want to do so,
It’s also about work,
I'd press the 'call' button to contact them, but nothing happens,

Thom Tillis Slams Hegseth Over Livestreamed Execution Plan

I mean this is performative at the worst level, and it has to be reversed,
Thom Tillissenator
I’m telling you, I fucked up and he needs to go,
Thom Tillissenator
No, we’ve gotta stop that, this is bullshit, there’s no way we should be doing that,
I saw a quote from you, senator, talking about how, you see this in Iran, you see this in Afghanistan,

Trump Says Ukraine Should 'Get A New Leader' As He Blames Zelenskyy For Diesel Prices

Volodymyr Zelenskyypresident
I believe our team is simply being used as a smoke screen. And that is certainly not fair. It is certainly not how partners should treat each other,
Knowing Trump, he tries to manipulate the markets. He’s got an election coming up soon,
Trump has been working with Putin for a long time,
Trump has once again shown his true face,
It plays into Russia's hands — allowing it to kill more, wage war for longer, have even less respect for America, and inflict even greater losses and damage on the world,

Tillis criticized Hegseth Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” after moderator Kristen Welker asked him what he thinks the impact of televising the execution will be

It’s another example of what Pete Hegseth and all of his bravado needs to get the hell out of the Department of Defense because he is a failed leader.”
Thom Tillisunited States Senator from North Carolina since 2015
It’s another example of where U.S. lives, American lives will be put at risk,
Thom Tillisunited States Senator from North Carolina since 2015
I dedicate a whole chapter to my biggest regret,
I do believe that is some of Pete Hegseth’s mismanagement... he’s more responsible for increased energy prices than President Zelenskyy,

Republicans Want Abdul El-Sayed To Be The Main Character Of The Midterms. He's Happy To Oblige

Later that night, while talking to reporters in the basement below the theatre, his tone was far different

Adrian Hemondmichigan political strategist
If you want their votes, you have to make nice with those people, and he’s not really doing that,
My son said to me, ‘I have been living with this trickle-down economy since the day I was born,
Abdul El-Sayeda Democrat, he is a candidate for the 2026 United States Senate election in Michigan
I’m really sorry for your experience, and I hope that you’re on the mend,
I’m pretty done with the Republicans right now,
If they want to make me the main character in the midterms, I’m not shying away from it,
I am grateful for your support,
If Abdul can win in Michigan, anybody can win anywhere,
Go everywhere. Talk to everyone. That’s what we do,
That’s rich coming from someone who wears his bed sheets out at night,
Donald Trumppresident
Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s.”

Mamdani Condemns Mullin For Treating The Law 'As A Suggestion' After ICE Shooting

Zohran Mamdanimayor
What you could see in that video and in the videos that have been released since is people, bystanders outside, unsure as to what they were even seeing,
Zohran Mamdanimayor
And we know that when it comes to the secretary, when it comes to ICE, they view so many people across this country innately as if being criminals just by virtue of how they look, where they live, what language that they speak,
Zohran Mamdanimayor
I asked on what warrant. We do not have a warrant for Mr. Belgal in New York City,
Jacob Soboroffamerican television host and presenter
I think that what they have shown time and again is that they view the law as a suggestion. There is a reason why the NYPD would not be shooting a moving vehicle. There is a reason why law enforcement agents are supposed to wear identifiable information and uniforms,
We didn’t know the 5-year-old was in the vehicle. Who did know who was in the vehicle was Oscar,

‘SNL’ Takes On Hegseth’s New Logo And USS Lincoln Woes In Unhinged Cold Open

The sketch featured Hegseth, sporting an ammunition belt full of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, welcoming back several sailors aboard the aircraft carrier, where the defense secretary received a less-than-warm reception

Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
Sorry, is that a Nazi eagle?”
Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
Public executions are back. Kind of like ‘Scrubs.’ And if the guy somehow survives the firing squad, then he’s got to fight Jake Paul,
It just looks identical to the Nazi eagle,
Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
I’m honored to be here addressing all you brave men and women. How are you sailors doing tonight?”
Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
I couldn’t be more proud of you. Only eight of you attempted suicide. Two of you since I started talking,
Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
I also unveiled a new logo for the Department of War, yeah, pretty sick, right? Check that out,
Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
You know, the only eagle you should be worried about is your mom’s spread eagle on my bed right now,

What Experts Want You To Know About The Possible Plague Case In Russia

Pneumonic plague is known as the most dangerous form of plague, spreading from one person to another through respiratory droplets and developing into a severe lung infection

Rutul Dalaldr.
Most likely, if a person working at the plague institute would die suddenly... the chances are that she was potentially exposed to pneumonic plague,... much is still unknown about the developing situation... and, unfortunately, we would not know more until the information comes out from the Russian authorities in detail.”
It is suspected that she broke a vial at the facility and was exposed while working,
Rutul Dalaldr.
People have been well-versed with this particular kind of bacteria, and fortunately, this bacteria is rare,
Rachael Piltch-Loebdr.
It may be helpful to know that plague does show up in the U.S., too,
Rutul Dalaldr.
COVID was highly aerosolized, which means it was it could easily be transmitted to people, whereas this is more droplet-borne, which means that... it does not usually spread that easily unless you are you are in close contact with somebody who is coughing or sneezing and who has got pneumonic plague,
Rutul Dalaldr.
We have antibiotics at our disposal to prevent this from propagating further. And also, if somebody does get infected, we can easily work on treatment, as well, if caught in time,
What concerns me most is less about the case of plague and more the bigger picture around how this happened and how it’s being communicated,
Rutul Dalaldr.
There are a lot of rumors going on, and especially with the person being exposed and dying potentially quickly, within 24 or 48 hours, as some reports are suggesting,
Rachael Piltch-Loebdr.
The pneumonic form, which gets into the lungs, is the one public health officials worry about most,
Local officials have put close to 200 people under medical observation. The regional governor says no one that is being monitored has shown signs of illness and that all lab tests have come back negative,

This Is What A Breast Lump Actually Feels Like

Janet Yehdr.
Everyone’s going to do it a little differently, and that’s OK,
Janet Yehdr.
If you aren’t already checking your own body, I think a good place to start is after you go in for a regular checkup with your primary care provider or gynecologist,
Janet Yehdr.
Our technology with breast imaging is so good these days that we really do pick things up early,
Janet Yehdr.
Some women have very lumpy breasts, so it’s important for those women to get used to their own lumps and bumps,
See a doctor if you notice any of these breast changes,
Arif Kamaldr.
A lump often feels like a round, hard area,
You mainly want to feel around for something discrete in your breast that’s separate from the rest of your breast tissue,
In my clinical experience, a lot of times patients describe it like a pea in a pod or a frozen pea ― sort of on the smaller side, of that texture, and of that hardness,

MS Now Hosts Crack Up Over Clip Of Trump 'Bullying' Ken Paxton: 'What In... ?'

Eugene Daniels, Jonathan Capehart and Jacqueline Alemany discussed Republican efforts to boost support for Paxton, including Trump traveling to Texas to drum up enthusiasm

Eugene Danielsamerican journalist
Frankly, he probably should stop, because he’s bullying Paxton every time he goes,
Donald Trumppresident
We have a guy named Ken Paxton, and some people don’t like the way he dresses. Or some people don’t like the way he interviews or talks.”
Donald Trumppresident
Paxton, you might not like the way he dresses. And I say this, it’s so insulting to him, but I might as well say it. You might not like the way he looks. You might not love his television interviews.”
Donald Trumppresident
Perhaps that speaks a lot louder than the suit he’s wearing,

'A Deal With The Devil': Lawmakers Sound Off On Trump's Russian Diesel Deal

Donald Trumppresident

‘Beyond Disgusting’: The Right Wing Is At Odds Over Hegseth’s Public Execution Plan

But the reaction from influential figures on the right has been wildly different, with some celebrating public executions as “healthy” expression and framing anyone opposing the Pentagon plan as a hypocritical leftist or a terrorist sympathizer

Pete Hegsethdefense Secretary
It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand there’s serious consequences for these types of things,
JD VanceuS VP
I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen.”
Jon Ossoffsenator
A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment.”
It is healthy to celebrate the elimination of evil,
Jack Posobiecamerican alt-right political activist, television correspondent and presenter, conspiracy theorist
The hysterical crashout you are seeing over this from many supposed ‘conservatives’ shows you who is not prepared to do what it takes to save Western civilization,
I urge him to reconsider,
Raw Egg Nationalistbritish far-right internet influencer and conspiracy theorist
This dude who was calling to shoot ordinary Americans who had the courage to protest a stolen election suddenly has a fit of conscience when the person being shot is an actual enemy of America who killed 13 American soldiers,
