Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

🚨 HEADS UP!! 🚨This is a list of Dem Senators who are either on the fence or leaning toward voting for the GOP Constinuing Resolution. Republican Senators only need 8 votes. Cloture is scheduled for noon. Highlighted are the ones who are NOT up for re-election next year, so for sure have zero excuse.

Russia interfered in the 2024 election, as well. Their goal was to elect Donald Trump and weaken U.S. support for Ukraine. This is all well-documented, but what's been publicly released is most certainly just the tip of the iceberg. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
