Yesterday, Putin said that Russia was able to cut Ukraine off from the sea.

To do that, Putin could use:

▪️ the Moskva cruiser;
▪️ the Admiral Makarov frigate;
▪️ the Sergey Kotov patrol ship;
▪️ five landing ships (Minsk, Olenegorsky Gornyak, Novocherkassk, Saratov, Tsezar Kunikov);⤵️

It’s all about Trump enriching himself and his family.

I hope his heft and blocked arteries end this farce soon

Daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. Hold him and everyone involved accountable.

The survivors deserve justice.
The public deserves answers.
The predators deserve consequences.

Stand with survivors, not predators & accomplices.

So, what would it look like if Kamala Harris had won the election? My heart hurts just thinking about how different things would be. One thing’s for sure, we sure as hell wouldn’t be living like this.

Every single day is a giant shitshow thanks to Donald Trump and his freak administration. SMDH

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
