Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.

Reading this paper which tries to estimate how much more it would cost Germany to NOT support Ukraine, versus the current support.
