It is now time to start talking about prosecuting the military personnel that apparently went rogue and ordered a second strike on drowning men, when they knew better!
Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to fleeโhis wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

โ๏ธZelenskyy on the front line. In the Dobropillia direction, he met with soldiers of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov".

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.
Israel says the attack on the hospital that killed yet more innocent people including journalists was a "major accident"
So how does Israel explain the second missile strike timed to hit once first responders got there & that killed many more?
One "accident" is careless, two is criminally ruthless
While we wait for Flamingos to fly, Ukraine has shown its modified "Long Neptune" for the first time.
The 1000km-range 'R-360 Neptune' has been written about for 20 months but apparently never shown before. Pres Zelenskyy said it was first used earlier this year.

More political VIPs arrived in Kyiv this morning.
Nice views of the central station - Vokzal - in Kyiv as Norway's PM Jonas Gahr Stรธre stepped off the train, with even a greeting in Norwegian on the display.
Incidentally the word vokzal comes from London's Vauxhall station.
RBK๐บ๐ฆ reports that Ukraine Intel managed to hack TV in Russia to celebrate Independence Day.
I'm very sceptical of these as they are easily faked, but Russians are said to have been treated to real news of a million soldiers lost, Black Sea fleet lost & petrol/gas running out!

More footage shows a direct hit and detonation at the Ust-Luga port. It is reported that the cryogenic gas fractionation unit sustained critical damage.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*.
๐บ๐ธ Watch fascism work.
Might be, it simply does not look like a refinery, more like a LNG plant. We will learn during the day, have just seen a video showing several hits on another refinery, Ukraine celebrating Independence Day ๐
The Novatek export terminal at Ust-Luga in Russia is burning. The facility, which is around 800 km (500 miles) from the Ukrainian border, supplies oil tankers at the Baltic Sea.
