The Debt Limit should be entirely scrapped to prevent an Economic catastrophe.

Russia is trying to hide the losses of its aviation after Ukraine's drone attacks.

Russians replaced some of the destroyed aircraft with undamaged aircraft/decoys on their airfields, placing them in the exact same spots.

Cybersecurity experts from Ukrainian military intelligence have successfully breached the internal systems of the Russian Tupolev Design Bureau, a leading aircraft manufacturer in Russia.

During the operation, they maintained prolonged access, extracted 4.4 GB of sensitive data, defaced the company's official website with an image of an owl clutching a Russian aircraft, and gathered detailed information on company personnel.

Kremlin aide Ushakov:

Trump said he would be grateful if Russia worked with the Iranian side on the nuclear issue.

Kremlin aide Ushakov:

The question of a meeting between Putin and Zelensky has never been raised in a practical sense.

Kremlin aide Ushakov:

Trump confirmed to Putin that the US was not aware of Kyiv’s plans to strike Russian airfields.

Trump, for some reason, has deleted his post about the phone call with Putin on Truth Social.

Trump posted the same message again.

Zelensky’s Chief-of-Staff, Andrii Yermak:

At one time, Ukraine gave Russia strategic bombers because they wanted peace and guarantees.

But Russia used them against us, shelling our people. Now part of their strategic aviation has been destroyed in a retaliatory action.

Elon Musk on Trump's new bill:

KILL the BILL

NEW: China will supply the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) with its Shenyang FC-31 ‘Gyrfalcon’ multirole stealth fighter aircraft, a senior Pakistani government official told Janes.

The FC-31 aircraft will arrive within months, and PAF pilots are training in China to fly it. The official didn’t disclose the deal’s terms, including the signing date.

In May, another Pakistan official said the procured FC-31 will be equipped with China’s PL-17 air-to-air missile (AAM), with a range of about 400 km.

Pakistani officials haven’t confirmed the number of platforms to be supplied, though Janes reported talks to acquire 30-40 aircraft.

The FC-31 will likely be Pakistan’s first major Chinese military platform after its 7-10 May conflict with India.

Steve Bannon claims Elon Musk physically shoved Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a heated Oval Office argument over budget cuts.

Bessent allegedly confronted Musk for slashing only $100 billion instead of a promised $1 trillion.

The altercation reportedly escalated through the West Wing, with Trump siding with Bessent afterward.

Around the same time, Musk appeared with a black eye, fueling speculation it resulted from the fight. Musk dismissed it as roughhousing with his son.

Zelensky:

In less than half a year, Russia has launched nearly 27,700 air-dropped bombs, over 11,000 Shahed drones, around 9,000 other attack UAVs, and more than 700 missiles—many of them ballistic—against Ukraine.

This is a deliberate strategy, built into Russia’s state, economy, and society since the full-scale invasion began.

Talks with Russia have failed to bring peace or even pause the war. Putin feels no consequences. Every new attack is Russia flipping off the world—and especially those who refuse to increase pressure on Moscow.

Russia should be the one seeking peace. And it must feel the cost of war—one that’s highest for the aggressor. When the world shows weakness, Putin takes it as permission for more atrocities.

We remind world powers: if you don’t stop Putin, you share responsibility. And if you want to stop him but can’t—he no longer sees you as strong.

NEW: The United States believes that Ukraine's drone strike over the weekend damaged up to 20 Russian warplanes and destroyed approximately 10 of them, according to two US officials who spoke to Reuters.

This assessment is about half the number claimed by Ukrainian officials.

Still, US officials characterized the attack as highly significant. One official warned that it could drive Moscow to a far more severe negotiating position in the US-brokered talks to end the war.
