Trump has no right to pose any demands on Ukraine:
1. He instantly stopped ALL financial and arms aid to Ukraine. US republicans continue to lie that the US is financing Ukraine & giving it arms. Stop lying!
2. Trump has repeatedly lied that the US has given $350 bn to Ukraine.

My Budget Day opinion:
Budget Day should be abolished. Performative nonsense that (by accident) leans into 'politics as entertainment'.
Measures should instead be announced when they are individually ready to be announced – at any time in the parliamentary calendar.

This looks like another lurch forward for the regime in DC. I don't see how this differs from monies and aeroplanes the GOP seem to receive from donors.
Pras Michel, a founding member of the hip-hop group the Fugees, was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for his role in a foreign influence scheme.
Pras Michel of the Fugees Gets 14 Years for Illegal Foreign Influence Scheme
