It was an honor to speak at the No Kings march — standing with so many voices for freedom and democracy. We will not let them take it away. We’ll fight, like Ukrainians fight — with courage, unity, and hope. ✊🏼

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

All in all, let’s note one important factor - Russia, the murderer and agressor, was not asked or pressured to consider, and as a result, has not even slightly indicated ANY interest in just peace or ceasefire.
That is THE bottom line.

Let’s be honest: today’s GOP is carrying water for Moscow. This “peace plan” didn’t come from Ukraine — it came from Russia. Democracies don’t survive when their own politicians act as pipelines for authoritarian regimes. ✊🏼🇺🇦

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
