1).
„The @WhiteHouse has said it will select the journalists allowed to have the closest access to @realDonaldTrump, stripping that choice from a body of reporters that for decades has decided who participates in the »pool« that covers US presidents. Image
2).
@realDonaldTrump later told reporters:
– »We’re going to be calling those shots«.”

@SenTinaSmith @RonFilipkowski @FoxNews @SenatorBaldwin 1).
„U.S. @SenTinaSmith (@TinaSmithMN) made news after she took to social media and referred to @realDonaldTrump's close advisor @elonmusk as a »d--k«.
Musk, in response, clapped back on X, asking Smith:
– »What did you get done last week?«
@SenTinaSmith @RonFilipkowski @FoxNews @SenatorBaldwin @TinaSmithMN @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk 2).
@FoxBusiness took note of the online spat and had a chyron that read:
– » @SenTinaSmith (D-MN), Musk trade blows over @DOGE».
The only problem was the network got the wrong Democratic female senator when it did a side-by-side of Musk what was supposed to be Smith.
@SenTinaSmith @RonFilipkowski @FoxNews @SenatorBaldwin @TinaSmithMN @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @FoxBusiness @DOGE 3).
– »That’s @SenatorBaldwin (@tammybaldwin) – not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, @FoxNews?« – Smith posted to X, referring to her colleague from Wisconsin.”

@RonFilipkowski 1).
„In Feb. 2025, a hot mic captured @DanCrenshawTX (@RepDanCrenshaw) stating that he wanted to ”fucking kill« conservative commentator Fucker @TuckerCarlson [1] [2]. Carlson and Crenshaw have previously feuded;
@RonFilipkowski @DanCrenshawTX @RepDanCrenshaw @TuckerCarlson 2).
Carlson has dubbed Crenshaw »Eyepatch McCain« and one of the »dumbest« Republicans, while Crenshaw has called Carlson a »cowardly, know-nothing elitist« [3].
@RonFilipkowski @DanCrenshawTX @RepDanCrenshaw @TuckerCarlson 3).
Crenshawʼs comment sparked backlash from other conservatives, including @RepMTG (@mtgreenee) [1] and @elonmusk [4]. @TuckerCarlson responded »Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do? I’ll send you my address« [1].

„ @realDonaldTrump on Tues. directed the Department of @CommerceGov to open an investigation into copper imports on national security grounds.
2).
If the probe finds evidence of dumping it would allow his administration to take retaliatory measures, including imposing tariffs or quotas.

Copper is a key ingredient for construction, transport and electronics.
3).
The US Department of @ENERGY added it to a list of critical materials in 2023 because of the rapidly growing demand in solar technologies and electric vehicles, among other areas. It is also widely used in weaponry.

„ @Keir_Starmer has been working with @EmmanuelMacron and other European leaders on a proposal to present to @realDonaldTrump on Thurs., including the potential deployment of a »reassurance force« relying mostly on air power and backed by the US.
2).
Paris, London and other European capitals have said they are willing to carry the bulk of the burden of postwar security in Ukraine.
3).
But given their limited capabilities, they have called for US logistics and intelligence support and ultimately its military protection for the mission to succeed – something both @EmmanuelMacron and @Keir_Starmer described as an American »backstop«.

„Ukraine agrees minerals deal with US

Kyiv hopes agreement on jointly exploring resources will improve relations with @realDonaldTrump administration
2).
Ukrainian officials say Kyiv is now ready to sign the agreement on jointly developing its mineral resources, including oil and gas, after the US dropped demands for a right to $500bn in potential revenue from exploiting the resources.
3).
Although the text lacks explicit security guarantees, the officials argued that they had negotiated far more favourable terms and depicted the deal as a way of broadening the relationship with the US to shore up Ukraine’s prospects after three years of war.”

@TimothyDSnyder 1).
„Pootinʼs premise for invasion is that Ukraine does not exist. There is no state, no nation. Ukraine is just a misunderstanding that can be corrected by the violence and propaganda. Image
@TimothyDSnyder 2).
And so the country was to be occupied, the children were to be reeducated, and everyone with any sort of political involvement was to be murdered.

The claim that somehow Russia had to invade Ukraine because of @NATO also comes down to the notion that Ukraine does not exist.
@TimothyDSnyder @NATO 3).
The story starts from the premise that only NATO has agency, that only NATO can act. Russia is therefore blameless in whatever it does, and Ukraine is simply a pawn. In this telling, the problem is that NATO was going to endlessly »enlarge« or »expand«.
