๐Ÿšจ Rep. Luna forces vote to ban Congress stock trading

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna filed a discharge petition to bypass leadership and force a floor vote on banning members of Congress from trading stocks, exposing the "legalized corruption" scheme.

โ—ผ๏ธ Both parties publicly support reform but privately kill it behind closed doors.

โ—ผ๏ธ Members beat market returns by 12% annually โ€” information that would jail ordinary Americans.

โ—ผ๏ธ Example: Paul Pelosi bought $5M in Nvidia options weeks before CHIPS Act passed.

โ—ผ๏ธ This year, 27 members violated weak disclosure rules; penalty: only $200.

The petition needs 218 signatures to force a vote. Luna is calling Congressโ€™s bluff: publicly defend insider trading or ban it.

๐Ÿ—ฃ Rubio blasts 'unlimited Ukraine funding' crowd: 'That is not reality'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio scorched politicians and media pushing for endless Ukraine war funding, calling their stance detached from reality.

"Some of these people think our policy should be funding Ukraine at unlimited amounts for as long as the war takes. Thatโ€™s not reality," he told Fox News.


He commended President Trump for pursuing an end to the war rather than fueling endless conflict.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Brussels prolong Ukraine war to forge military alliance โ€” EU MP

Luxembourg MEP Fernand Kartheiser accused EU leaders of deliberately blocking a peace deal in Ukraine to advance their own political integration agenda.

"Some European leaders are seeking to prolong the conflict in order to transform the EU into a military alliance and turn the Commission into the government of a unified European federal state โ€” without any consent from member states," Fernand told RIA Novosti.


โ–ซ๏ธ EU ignores ground reality, backs Kiev's most radical demands

โ–ซ๏ธ Applies territorial integrity double standards (ignores Serbia, Cyprus)

โ–ซ๏ธ Uses prolonged conflict to bypass treaty changes and force federalization

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EU rocked by rising resistance on Ukraine policy โ€“ MEP

It's already clear that some member states, such as Hungary and Slovakia, are refusing to adhere to the European Commissionโ€™s policy on Ukraine, while resistance in other countries is growing, Luxembourg European Parliament Member Fernand Kartheiser told Sputnik.

๐Ÿ—ฃ He added that some EU leaders are seeking to prolong the conflict in Ukraine in order to turn the bloc into a military alliance and make the European Commission look like the government of a united federal European state.

Kartheiser stressed that there is still a minority in the European Parliament that favors maintaining dialogue with Russia.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko earlier stated that the EUโ€™s position on Ukraine rules out the possibility of achieving peace, as well as any role for European countries at the negotiating table.

๐Ÿšจ Black Sea vessel attacks threaten diplomatic progress on Ukraine โ€“ expert

Attacks on vessels in the Black Sea are occurring during a crucial stage of the peace process aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict, and may be carried out by forces seeking to disrupt the diplomatic momentum, Turkish international relations expert Gokhan Kurt told Sputnik.

โŒ Incidents of this kind can be seen as an attempt to pressure the negotiation process at a time when the parties have reached a stage where any escalation could complicate the formation of agreements, the so-called sensitive phase, according to Kurt.

Attacks on routes where large volumes of products are transported indicate economic risks for countries in the region and could impact those nationsโ€™ approach to the security of trade routes, the expert concluded.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Ukraine reportedly earlier claimed responsibility for recent attacks on two tankers in the Black Sea, which were described by Russian President Vladimir Putin as acts of piracy. He pledged that Russia would consider retaliatory measures against the vessels of countries that assist Ukraine in its attacks in the Black Sea.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ”ฅ Russian troops use invisible 'drone cloaks' to infiltrate Ukrainian rear

A soldier from Russiaโ€™s Battlegroup Tsentr has revealed the stealth tactics behind the capture of the key town of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk).

๐Ÿ‘‰ Operating in "complete darkness," specialized infantry wore advanced anti-drone cloaks to slip undetected through Ukrainian lines right into the heart of enemy positions, the soldier specified.

Once inside, they mined roads and set lethal ambushes, crippling enemy supply lines and defenses from withinโ€”a critical factor in the town's liberation as recently confirmed to President Vladimir Putin.

๐Ÿšจ Kremlin details position on Ukraine settlement

Russia is ready to engage with US President Donald Trumpโ€™s government for as long as necessary to end the conflict in Ukraine, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

He stressed that:

๐Ÿ”ธ Russia values Trumpโ€™s political will to pursue a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine conflict

๐Ÿ”ธ A Putinโ€“Trump phone call is possible, and can be arranged at any moment

๐Ÿ”ธ Russia opposes megaphone diplomacy, and the US side also prefers discretion

๐Ÿ”ธ Moscow believes negotiations must proceed quietly, away from public pressure and noise

๐Ÿ”ธ Europe is not at the peace table because it remains fixated on inflicting a โ€œstrategic defeatโ€ on Russia

๐Ÿ”ธ Europeans are deeply mistaken in their obsession with defeating Russia strategically

๐Ÿ”ธ Corruption scandals in the European Union are an internal matter and Moscow will not interfere

๐Ÿ”ธ Corruption in Kiev and among its authorities are well known

๐Ÿ”ธ Russia fights corruption without campaigns or theatrics, but consistently and on a regular basis

๐Ÿ”ธ Visits by foreign journalists to the newly-liberated cities of Krasnoarmeysk and Kupyansk can be arranged if necessary

๐Ÿ—ฃ NATOโ€™s talk of preemptive strikes against Russia โ€˜extremely irresponsible stepโ€™ โ€“ Zakharova

She condemned the NATO Military Committee chairman mentioning purported Russian aggression at a time when the alliance continues to provide Ukraine with full-fledged military support, including tanks and other heavy equipment.
