🇺🇸 Jake Paul on X: America is not a spectator sport

Apparently Logan and I going to Washington meeting with the Vice President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, and other leaders of this country really pisses some people off

Good.

Because I’d rather be in the room asking questions, learning, challenging ideas, building relationships, and figuring out how I can help than sitting behind a screen telling everyone else what they should be doing

Twitter fingers have never built a country

Think about how insane the American Dream really is

Two brothers with a camera and a crazy amount of ambition can build businesses, compete on the biggest stages in the world, employ hundreds of people, invest in the future of this country and one day walk into Washington and sit across from the people helping lead it

That should inspire people not offend them

Washington doesn’t belong to commentators.
It doesn’t belong to celebrities.
It doesn’t belong to politicians.

It belongs to the American people

And whether people like me or hate me I’m going to keep showing up

Keep learning.
Keep building.
Keep investing in American companies.
Keep creating jobs.
Keep supporting American innovation.
Keep meeting the people doing the hard work.
Keep sticking my neck out.
And keep trying to leave this country stronger than I found it.

The next generation needs to believe that America is still a place where you can dream impossibly big, work your ass off, get knocked down, reinvent yourself, and eventually find yourself in rooms you never thought you’d enter

This country gave me opportunities beyond anything I could have imagined

I intend to give something back

You can spend your life commentating from the cheap seats or you can get on the field

I know where I’ll be

God bless the United States of America

🇵🇱 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Poland aims to host 15,000 US soldiers on its territory: minister

Plan includes about 10,000 rotational troops and 3,500 to 5,000 permanently stationed.

Intended force will be built up in stages, with a target completion by 2039.

Poland currently hosts 6,500 to 7,000 US troops, down after May withdrawals; it cites Russian threats and spends almost 5% of GDP on defence.

🇺🇸🇵🇱⚡️- "We inform you that due to an urgent request from the American side, the Wednesday visit to the Pentagon by the Deputy Prime Minister, head of the MON, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, will take place at a different time. Arrangements for it are currently underway. Following signals from the American side, as well as the meeting of the chiefs of staff of NATO countries, it is now urgently necessary to undertake new actions concerning the security of the Alliance's [NATO] member states." - Polish Ministry of Defense in a statement earlier today.

🇵🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️- An alert was issued by authorities in the Voivodeship of Lublin, Poland, citing risks of collateral damage from an ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine.

🇵🇱⚡️- Polish fighter jets have been dispatched near the border.

🇱🇻🇷🇺⚡- Air raids have gone active in Kraslava, eastern Latvia.

🇺🇸 Trump made his first remarks without the TV pool and it is impossible to hear him through the White House feed. He is doing an unveiling of the new helipad just before Xi’s visit.

Nothing but static for 9 minutes and Trump is wheels up.

🇱🇻🇷🇺⚡️- Authorities have given the all clear in Kraslava.

🇵🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️- "Military aviation operations in Polish airspace have concluded, conducted to ensure safety during strikes by the Russian Federation using air attack assets against targets in Ukraine. Ground-based air defense systems and radar reconnaissance have returned to standard operational activities.

We inform that no violation of the airspace of the Republic of Poland has been observed." - Polish Operational Command of the Armed Forces on X.

🇺🇸 As the spate between key U.S. news outlets and the Trump administration progresses, the New York Times has said that they “will not publish or distribute any images taken as a part of the White House still photography pool today.” This follows CNN being barred from participating in their slated TV pool slot today by the White House and the subsequent boycott by major news outlets of White House pool coverage going forward.
