Putin does not want you to know this:
At the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine controlled 23 regional capital and special-status cities.
It still controls all 23 today. Russia hasn’t managed to take a single one. 0/23!

Unt-uh.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

California asked the Trump Administration back in February to request relief from Congress for the Los Angeles fires.
Nearly 11 months later, Trump has failed to send Congress that request — and his FEMA won't even schedule a meeting to discuss it.

11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.
That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.
