Jessica: We have big headlines, getting investment like $8.5 billion out of Qatar, that was already announced in 2023 and 2024. Abu Dhabi, he says $200 billion… announced during the Biden administration… He likes to show up and take credit for things other people did

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

America is now violating the agreement it made with Ukraine in 1993 — guaranteeing Ukraine’s security in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal and Black Sea fleet
Either America needs to honor its promises — or Ukraine gets its nukes and ships back, don’t you think?

The former FBI informant who accused President Biden and his son Hunter of taking a $10 million bribe from Ukraine was sentenced to 6 years in prison today.
After Alexander Smirnov was changed with lying about the bribe, he admitted the information came from Russian officials.

If asked about Ukraine, say this: people are still being killed and displaced, bombs fall daily, but the world has mostly moved on. Media now focuses more on the cost of weapons than the priceless human lives being lost

Congrats Trump voters,
You elected an adjudicated rapist business fraud who is once again going to use the power of the presidency to extort other countries for his own financial benefit while saddling our nation with even more debt, but at least an imaginary immigrant isn’t eating your cats & dogs.

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists
