Politico’s anonymous source says the POTUS has not requested any further aid, though there is enough left over from the Biden administration to last Ukraine several more months, according to an administration official.

Is Politico using unpaid volunteers or high school interns these days?

The munitions are a mix of air defenses and precision weapons that have been flowing to Ukraine for much of the past two-plus years. The weapons are a mix of two different streams of support the U.S. has provided Ukraine, both under the Biden administration.

And now an unsourced article from Politico, partially written in Pidgin English:

The people were granted anonymity to discuss current operations. The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

I'm not surprised the source for Bro's point #2 in his post is an article posted on a biased website. They dress up their agitprop in neutral trappings but just reading their website exposes their leftist agenda.

Kelley Beaucar Vlahos, the head of 'Responsible Statecraft' is also senior advisor to the Quincy Institute. The Quincy Institute's solution for peace in the Ukraine includes mandating that Russia pay to reconstruct Ukraine (taken from frozen Russian assets), and that Russia accept a Western–armed, trained, and maintained Ukrainian military force capable of deterring and defending against any new invasion (ransomnote: which Europe can't provide, looking at You, America). This, of course, is what provoked Russia to war in the first place - the overthrow of the Ukraine by Western forces who then constructed military fortifications while arming and training a 600K Ukrainian army to take on Putin.

Ben Armbruster is the Managing Editor of Responsible Statecraft. He previously held senior editorial and management positions at Media Matters, ThinkProgress, ReThink Media, and Win Without War.

Even left leaning Mediabiasfactcheck puts ThinkProgress on the Extreme left bias.

* Overall, we rate ThinkProgress Left biased based on story selection that always favors the left and Mixed for factual reporting based on a few failed fact checks.

I notice those on FR for the purpose of agitating for Ukraine are more likely to present alternate reality as facts; I feel like they used to try to hide it a little but now simply restate reality to suit their needs.

The OP is a non-sourced account apparently from the propaganda wing of the Ukrainian military. All I found was 'reports say' and the rest is just assertions reported as fact.

Russia has had and used the ability to shoot down HIMARS and Storm Shadow missiles for at least 2 years now. I know I posted about attempts to make it seem like HIMARS were a new game changing armament only to discover the Russians had been shooting them down for some time.

Usually the HIMARS were reported to have an impressive range, and then when I checked on a map they were fired short range. Then I discovered the US was sometimes buying SOviet era launchers so the HIMARS were not going to get those long range targets.

I am just saying this article is a) based on no known sources, just 'reports say' and b) once again in this war, weapons in use for some time are trotted out as game changers. Russia knew how to shoot down Storm Shadow missiles 2 years ago.

Footage Shows First Documented U.K. Storm Shadow Taken Down by Russia

By Nick Mordowanec
Jun 30, 2023 

Russia may have shot down its first recorded Storm Shadow missile today, according to a weapons tracker in Ukraine.

The United Kingdom-supplied missiles were introduced into Ukraine's war arsenal in May at the urging of British Defence Minister Ben Wallace, who had said their capabilities—such as fire-and-forget technology and fully autonomous guidance—gave Ukraine its "best chance to defend themselves against Russia's continued brutality." A particular number of provided missiles was not declared.

Within days of Wallace's announcement, Moscow's Defense Ministry claimed it had "intercepted seven Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles, three HARM anti-radar missiles, and seven HIMARS multiple rocket launchers" in the span of one day. Neither the UK nor Ukraine ever confirmed Russia's claim regarding the Storm Shadows.

'Free America': Anti-Trump Protests Taking Place Nationwide on 4th of July 

Jun 30, 2025

At least 170 "Free America" events are being planned for the holiday weekend in numerous states, including several in New York, California, Texas and Florida, according to Women's March.

The full list of events can be found on the Women's March's website here.

SNIP

In addition to the "Free America" events, some local chapters of Indivisible have planned "No Kings 2.0" protests for July 4.

The protests will be followed by another day of nationwide demonstrations—billed as "Good Trouble Lives On," a reference to the late congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis—on July 17.

"Good Trouble Lives On" is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration," according to organizers.

ransomnote: President Trump's supposed plans for this July 4 (circa November 2024) sound special and different, and if the story is accurate and the plans are implemented, they also sound like history in the making.

Red, White & Boom! Trump’s Plan for Epic Fireworks Display on July 4, 2026

1. A Year-Long Commemoration

Trump’s plan is to host a year-long series of events, starting on July 4, 2025, leading up to the grand finale on July 4, 2026. This extended celebration would give people across the nation multiple opportunities to take part in commemorative events, each showcasing different aspects of America’s history and culture.

2. A New National Monument

A major part of Trump’s proposal includes erecting a new national monument dedicated to American resilience and innovation. While the location has yet to be decided, the monument aims to reflect the nation’s progress over 250 years, symbolizing the ideals of freedom, democracy, and opportunity.

3. Patriotic Extravaganzas Across All 50 States

Under Trump’s vision, each state would host its own local celebrations, festivals, and parades, funded through a mix of public-private partnerships. These events would be designed to highlight local history, promote community pride, and showcase each state’s unique contribution to the American story.

Miami pharmacist who sexually abused girls in Colombia is off to prison, feds say

"When Correa spoke to investigators, he told them he had traveled to Colombia about 45 times to “have sex with minors,” records show.

In a letter to the judge, Correa said he was taking accountability for his actions — and stated that he “had a unhealthy yet treatable sex drive.”

Trump Prosecutors Arrest Mainstream Media ‘Pedophile Ring’ Behind Pizzagate Cover-Up

A covert ring of journalists and fact-checkers—tasked with discrediting and burying the Pizzagate story—has been exposed. But they weren’t just protecting the pedophile elite.

They were part of it.

This wasn’t just media manipulation. It was complicity. And as the arrests begin, the world is finally seeing the truth: the very people who called it a “conspiracy theory” were committing the crimes all along.

Pizzagate was never a theory. It was a cover-up. And now, their cover is blown justice is coming down like a hammer.

Before we dive in, a quick word about our partner VP.net—the next generation of private browsing. VP.net is the only VPN designed with true zero-logging architecture. That means, unlike other VPNS, it literally can’t track you—so even if governments or bad actors come knocking, there’s nothing to hand over. It’s that simple. Your data stays yours. Period.

An award-winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged after authorities allegedly discovered child porn on his work computer, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced late Friday.

Thomas Pham LeGro, a 48-year-old editor at the news outlet, was led away in handcuffs Thursday after FBI agents raided his DC home and discovered a folder on his laptop which contained 11 videos depicting horrific child sexual abuse material.

Welcome to our Q thread. It's impossible to learn about Trump's successes and strategies by following the MSM. Much preparation has gone into the strategy now unfolding in D.C. The groundwork has been laid and the path to justice is almost cleared of barriers. By learning all we can, we are supporting President Trump's vision for our country. MAGA!

President Trump is spreading information about a baseless conspiracy?
Recording of Nuland is a ‘conspiracy’?
UN’s (on record) refusal to hear Putin’s request for an investigation of the bio warfare labs?
Dozens of US bio warfare labs in the Ukraine?
All the evidence of US criminality the Ukrainian prosecutors disclosed and I transcribed/llinked?
About 200 billion in funds to Ukraine in the course of about 3 years?
Biden on tape extorting the head of the Ukraine?

This is why you are a waste of time. Same tactic as the Dems who stole the 2020 - ‘Baseless’ was their favorite word. The UN said ‘baseless’ too. You are baseless.
