Billionaires should be spending less on elections and more in taxes.

“Estonians have been able to pay taxes online since 2000. The United States was just getting there last year with IRS Direct File, a Biden-era pilot program that saved users time and money, but Trump killed it after lobbying by tax-prep and software companies.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-m...

Trump Is Making Government Worse on PurposeInstead of seeking to simplify and improve citizens’ lives, this administration keeps creating new obstacles and burdens.www.thebulwark.com

Another death in Kyiv region this lunchtime. A 61 year old man was killed in a Russian drone attack in Brovary, and 6 others injured. UAVs hit the "Rozetka" warehouses and 13 cars were also damaged.

I missed this yesterday evening. If you did too, I think you will enjoy. It seems genuine, but in reality we don't even know for sure if he is Russian. bsky.app/profile/nata...

In Kharkiv, another gas station was hit during the night. This time no-one was injured.

This is how the apartment in Odesa looked soon after the impact. The injured person is an 18 year old man. The high-rise is part of the Kadorr complex in Arkadia, known as the entertainment quarter of Odesa.

Photos now from "Kyivmedspetstrans" which I mentioned earlier. By the way, it's a contraction of Kyiv Medical Special Transport. Four buildings were partially destroyed; 5 ambulances + 20 other vehicles were burned out. The company was actually hit twice during the night.

The police officer killed in Kyiv has been named. He was Yehor Terekhin, who only joined the force a year ago, and started patrolling the capital a little over a month ago. At the time of the missile strike, he was providing first aid to the injured. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Occupiers in Zaporizhzhia says a worker from the Dniprorudny iron ore plant was killed and 12 injured when a bus carrying staff was attacked near the village of Mala Bilozerka.

Ukraine's drones flew far & wide; new names appeared on the list of Russian airports closed, which again reached 15. Veliky Ustyug Kotlas Bugulma Ufa Domodedovo Zhukovskiy Cheboksary Orenburg Kazan Nizhnekamsk Kostroma Samara Nizhny Novgorod Tambov Yaroslavl

A supermarket is not on the Russian list, but Velmart hypermarket in Berezniaky was also damaged. The facade, roof, and second-floor ceiling were partially destroyed. PrivatBank products and terminals were also damaged. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Russian state media has this morning produced a detailed list of what it says were its targets in Kyiv and the region. Some supposedly pro-Ukraine accounts have already shown maps of where factories were hit, which is against Ukrainian martial law. I'll merely post this FYI.

🔞 Of the 9 murdered in Kyiv, 2 were in Solomianskyi district and the other 7 in Darnytskyi - more specifically in the Pozniaky area. Here, 13 high rise buildings were damaged. One is a policeman, aged just 22. At least 4 children are among the 30+ injured

There was a spike in Russia's losses in the last 24 hours, including destruction of 82 artillery + 2 AD systems. The total number of Russians killed/disabled in July was 42,860 the 4th highest month ever, and biggest total in 18 months.

Here are data from Ukraine's air defence Russia fired 185 drones + 35 missiles. Just 2 rockets were intercepted: 0/4 Zircon/Onyx 1/27 Ballistic 0/2 Kh-31 cruise 1/2 Kh-59 cruise Three of the missiles did not reach targets. 154/175 strike UAVs were stopped (10 still flying) = 88%

Look at the destruction. Ukraine was only able to shoot down one ballistic missile because they have no more PAC-3s capable of intercepting them. It's almost as if Putin told Trump to attack Iran so presidementia would have to give the Patriots to mid-east nations & not Ukraine

Kyiv mayor, Vitaliy Klychko (Klitschko) has already visited one of the sites struck by Russian missiles. He says the injury count is now over 30. Kyivmedspetstrans he references, provides specialist medical vehicles, 5 ambulances and 20 medical vehicles were destroyed.

As I reported during my live-posting last night, bodies were lying in the street in Kyiv's Pozniaki district. They simply did not have enough time to reach their homes or shelters. The crater created where the missile landed, is simply phenomenal.

The two injury victims in Kyiv region, happened during a Russian attack on warehouses in the Bucha area, west of the city.

28 more people in Kyiv city have been injured, plus two more in the wider region. Reuters showed photos of the moments missiles exploded in Ukraine's capital. I hope this time they had permission to publish?
