CONGRESS URGED TO RESUME SEARCH FOR DEPORTED KIDS: 30 members of #Congress from both parties issued a letter to Secretary of State Marco #Rubio, urging him to maintain funding for the Conflict Observatory at Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which helps locate Ukrainian deported #children.
@HNumberger So disturbing. Grew up with the song. Never saw the video. Glad to have left that life behind. Daddy Reagan rolling over in his grave today. #EvilEmpire #Rubio

As Mr. #Rubio has kindly informed us earlier that today is #Russia day
I've prepared several facts of what #Putin's rule has brought #Russia to in the past 25 years
️ Finances:
The #Russian government plans to revise the federal budget for 2025, increasing the deficit by 250% – from $12 billion to $42 billion. The official inflation rate is supposedly 7.6% but according to estimates by the Foreign Intelligence Service, real inflation in #Russia already exceeds 20%
How El Salvador’s Government Impeded a U.S. Probe of MS-13
President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a U.S. investigation of the MS-13 gang.
"On behalf of the American people, I want to congratulate the Russian people on Russia Day," Rubio said.
"The United States remains committed to supporting the Russian people as they continue to build on their aspirations for a brighter future."

Bukele ramps up crackdown on dissent
The Saturday arrest of Anaya, a fierce critic of Bukele, marks the latest move in what watchdogs describe as a wave of crackdown on dissent by the Central American leader. They say Bukele is emboldened by his alliance with U.S. President Donald Trump, who has not only praised him but avoided criticizing actions human rights defenders, international authorities and legal experts deem authoritarian.
US Secretary of State #Rubio has sanctioned the justices of the International Criminal Court for targeting the US and #Israel, both of whom have committed war crimes https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/05/marco-rubio-sanctions-icc-judges-israel-gaza
Since 2021, the #ICC had deprioritized the investigation into American troops in #Afghanistan & focused on alleged crimes committed by the Afghan govt & the #Taliban forces.
ICC judges also issued arrest warrants for #Netanyahu, fmr Israeli defense chief #YoavGallant & #Hamas leader #IbrahimAlMasri last Nov for alleged #WarCrimes & #CrimesAgainstHumanity during the #Gaza conflict. Alapini Gansou & Hohler ruled to authorize the arrest warrant against Netanyahu & Gallant, #Rubio said.
#MarcoRubio says the #US will begin revoking the #visas of #ChineseStudents, “including those w/connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”
#Rubio said the govt will “aggressively” revoke visas for students from #China, which is the 2nd-largest country of origin for #InternationalStudents in the US, behind only India. In the 2023-2024 school year, >270k international #students were from China, making up ~¼ of all foreign students.

As much as I'm nauseated by the idea of hearing #Noem or #Rubio try to defend this inhuman treatment of #MahmoudKhalil and his family, I would like to see Congress haul them into chambers and find out exactly what the "security concerns" were that prevented a new father from seeing his one-month old baby. I am ashamed.

@PDFlynn
A politician with principles?
Who woulda thunk it?
President Donald Trump thinks Russia will likely walk away from Ukraine peace talks if the US threatens more sanctions, according to his top diplomat, supporting the White House’s decision not to pressure Moscow despite its resistance to a ceasefire.

Vance spricht mit von der Leyen und Selenskyj
US-Vizepräsident Vance hat seinen Italien-Besuch zur Papst-Amtseinführung zu politischen Gesprächen genutzt. Neben EU-Kommissionschefin von der Leyen traf er auch auf den ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj.
Rossman: It can't be that #SCOTUS issued an order that's empty.
Rossman reads the #SupremeCourt order requiring release of #KilmarAbregoGarcia from custody & treatment of his case as if he hadn't been removed...
That itself implies some extra-territorial steps, he says.
Rossman now addresses the #Rubio declaration.
Simply saying “national security” is insufficient, he says.
