German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:
While you attempt to finance the proxy war against the nuclear power Russia practically single-handedly, our European partners are already discreetly holding back.Читать полностью…
And while you approve one sanctions package after another, thereby ruining our own economy and public finances, the U.S. and Russia are negotiating diesel deliveries and other agreements for their mutual benefit.

James Talarico:
I have been the fiercest critic of Christian nationalism because I don't think there's anything Christian about Christian nationalism.Читать полностью…
Jesus, as a good rabbi, took the two commandments from the Torah: to love God and to love neighbor.
And there's no exception to that second commandment. I'm called to love all of my neighbors, not just my Presbyterian or Christian neighbors.
James Talarico on Palestine:
I believe that Israel, like any nation, has a right to defend its people.Читать полностью…
But I don't believe that Benjamin Netanyahu has a right to wage war against civilians or use collective punishment or restrict aid to civilians.
And so that's what I've spoken out against.
James Talarico:
I am for fair voter ID. And I say fair because here in Texas, I think that a lot of our voter ID policies are discriminatory.Читать полностью…
Some kinds of ID are allowed, and other valid forms of ID aren't allowed.
For instance, when you go to vote here in Texas, you can bring your concealed carry license, which I'm all for, but a student at a public college or university can't bring their student ID.
I think that hurts some kinds of voters and helps other kinds of voters.
As long as voter ID is fair, then I'm all for it.
James Talarico:
Some of my spiritual heroes, like Pope Francis and Pope Leo, are pro-life. And they are consistently pro-life.Читать полностью…
They're not just against abortion, but they are against poverty, against climate change, against war.
And so I can respect anyone like you who is consistently pro-life.
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš on Ukraine:
Are we going to fight for another 20 years or 10 years, or are we finally going to do something?Читать полностью…
There are growing calls for Europe to become involved in some way.
Trump talks to Putin regularly. European leaders need to clearly say what they want, and we should agree on how we're going to proceed.

BIG: Syrian General Intelligence has arrested Ali Kayali, also known as Mihrac Ural, the main suspect in the May 2013 Baniyas and al-Bayda massacres, as he tried to flee across the border.
The Turkish-born leader of the pro-Assad militia Syrian Resistance is accused of overseeing the killings on the Syrian coast, where at least 458 civilians, including about 92 children, were executed.Читать полностью…
Türkiye has long wanted him over the 2013 Reyhanlı bombings, which killed about 52 people.
The arrest follows the capture of his deputy, Jamal Traboulsi, earlier this month, as Syria’s new authorities pursue former regime militia figures accused of war crimes.

Trump on Iran:
The Iran war will end very soon. It's going to end very soon.Читать полностью…
As soon as I want it to end, it'll end, but it's going to end very soon.
Zelensky:
Iranians have missiles and drones with ranges of 4,000 kilometers and more.Читать полностью…
Who in Europe has the capability to launch a massive attack or defend against thousands of drones with ranges of more than 4,000 kilometers?
Nobody.
How can you get this information? You can't. We share it. We share this.
Zelensky:
I know that if such a diesel deal makes Ukraine silent on the battlefield, not responding after their attacks, the question will be: When will the next deal come?Читать полностью…
Today it's diesel. Maybe the next will be gas. Definitely, it will be gas.
Zelensky:
I understand that Trump has a lot of challenges.Читать полностью…
Somebody is moving him in the wrong direction.
Zelensky:
I said to Trump that we can do it very quickly. If you will not close Starlink for us, if you will open Starlink on the territory of Russia, we will destroy his ballistic launchers, and that's it for him.Читать полностью…
He will sit and speak, and I will not destroy any energy facilities. I don't need it.
Give us Starlink. Open it for us. But they closed it. They didn't make it wider. They made it smaller.
It's a very serious mistake.
German AfD Leader Alice Weidel:
Germany, get this into your heads, will be defended neither in the Donbas nor in the Hindu Kush.Читать полностью…
Through ever deeper entanglements, you risk turning our country itself into a party to the war and into a target.
And you invoke precisely this danger of war to justify your excessive government spending and further restrictions on freedom of expression.
Kremlin:
Ukraine continues to strike Russian energy facilities.
James Talarico on Netanyahu:
I'm always very careful when I talk about this to make sure that my criticisms are directed toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and not the Israeli people.Читать полностью…
I have been very critical of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
As a former teacher, seeing the death and the destruction in Gaza, seeing what's happening to children in particular, makes me sick to my stomach.
James Talarico:
I have deep love and respect for the Jewish people, for the Jewish scriptures.
James Talarico:
I will always do what's best for Texas, even if that means standing up to my own party.Читать полностью…
If the Democratic Party is going after the good-paying oil and gas jobs here in Texas, I'm going to stand up against them.
I'm going to call out Democrats like Joe Biden who failed us on our southern border because we need border security here in Texas.
We need to protect our border communities.
James Talarico on Ukraine:
We need to strengthen Ukraine. We need to strengthen our NATO allies as they stand up to Russian aggression so we don't have to.Читать полностью…
In some ways, I see this as a cost-saving measure. If we can stop this aggression, if we can stop Putin in Ukraine, then we're not going to have to stop him elsewhere.
Hungary's PM Péter Magyar:
Look at Türkiye, which has wanted to join the EU for decades, and now doesn't really even want to anymore.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar says Ukraine's EU accession could take "15 or even 20 years."

Zelensky:
It's a pity that in this technological war, the United States has helped Putin.Читать полностью…
Not because they want to or not. I don't know.
These steps from the United States have been dangerous for us.
Intelligence, Starlink — when it comes together, it's dangerous.
Zelensky:
I'm not holding this chair, saying that I'm the president and I will be president for years. No. Never.Читать полностью…
This rhetoric makes it something personal. For me, it doesn't matter.
Zelensky on Trump and Putin:
Putin is an enemy for us, and he's the real evil of today. Absolutely.Читать полностью…
How can Trump be friends with him?
I think it's a mistake.
It's his choice, again and again.
Zelensky:
All of Europe, before this war, spent billions on tanks, armored vehicles, ammunition and a lot of things which are not useful after these last two years.Читать полностью…
Our experience gives the countries this knowledge of war, so they will not spend billions on tanks and other things.
They have to spend money on other things. Without us, it would be more expensive.
Clever people said, "Look, you saved billions for us, for our budget. Really billions."
Zelensky:
I'm an honest partner of the president of the United States, not because of personalities, but because Ukraine is a strategic partner of the United States.Читать полностью…
Zelensky:
Putin can't do anything on the territory of Ukraine today without big losses.Читать полностью…
He can move one kilometer, two kilometers, ten kilometers, and there are a lot of losses as a result of these kilometers.
Republicans are increasingly hoping polls are wrong ahead of the November 3 midterms, as Democrats hold a roughly 9-point national lead and GOP leaders privately expect to lose the House.
GOP strategists argue that polls have repeatedly underestimated Trump and Republican voters, particularly in the Midwest.Читать полностью…
They hope for a repeat of 2022, when Democrats outperformed expectations despite unfavorable polling.
One Republican strategist warned that if current polls are accurate, 2026 could become one of the worst election cycles in Republican history.
