🇷🇺📉 Russia is at its weakest & poorest ever. 🏦💰 The #Kremlin is literally selling off gold reserves because they’re out of money.
#Putin’s mismanagement + sanctions = empty federal budget and broke regions. Now is not the time for fake peace deals — now is the moment to defeat & demilitarize Russia.

The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence.

The Epstein Files bill has a lot of protections in it to prevent Bondi from doing what we all suspect she's going to do: hold back or redact because of an open investigation or national security concerns. If she improperly withholds, she'll be sued, and SCOTUS will eventually decide.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
