Now reports saying #putin is furious that we passed more aid to #Ukraine for defensive purposes. That means he is highly concerned that he’ll be out gunned in his ridiculous war.
Knowing that vladimir, mtg & the #gop are upset about it shows that we the guys good are leading. #SaveUkraine 🇺🇦 #republicans —
Several of you have asked, why half the Republican party has voted for Ukraine aid today, if the party is against it.
The truth is, many republicans have wanted this aid for months — even Mike Johnson was for it in the beginning.
But Trump wanted Biden’s Ukraine agenda to fail, and very few Republicans dare to go against the tzar, because if they do, Trump will immediately endorse another political candidate in their home district.
But what turned this around was security briefings…

The guy thinks the Flintstones was a documentary.
It's very hard to take any reasons he gives for anything at face value.
If he comes out & says that the biblical prophet Joshua told him in a dream that he needed to allow a vote we'd all just shrug. It's impossible to embarrass these people. @randahl
Apparently, someone in China has written, that president Xi is an insecure little man-child in a post on Threads, and now president Xi has demanded Threads be removed from the Apple app store for all users, in a move that also proves the point: President Xi really IS an insecure little man-child.
Trypillia Thermal Power Plant in Kyiv was completely destroyed by a Russian strike because Ukraine has run out of missiles to defend it, Zelenskyy says.
Although the first seven missiles were downed, the next four hit the plant.

🦆 Sam "Western weapons will make no difference" Charap right in his #ValdaiClub 🫏.
Leave it to a guy who's literally been wrong about #Ukraine since before day 1 of #russia's invasion to rehash a story that's been known to basically everyone paying attention for a year and a half. But of course since this is Sam Charap after all, he has to frame it as #Putin demanding unconditional surrender was really him trying to give Ukrainians almost everything they wanted!
Picture 1: Republican Senator J. D. Vance tells CNN, the US cannot help Ukraine, because the US is “stretched too thin” and Ukraine is demanding “thousands” of Patriot systems per year.
Picture 2: In reality, Zelenskyy has said, just 25 Patriot systems would be enough to keep Ukraine safe — some of which they already have.
A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.
I kid you not: Marjorie Taylor Greene has released a video on YouTube, where she says, “If I had it may way, we would have been successful on January 6, and [Joe Biden] wouldn’t even be president.”
That is the same woman, who claimed the violence on January 6 was started by federal agents disguised as insurrectionists. And now, she says, if “WE would have been successful on January 6”.
[Gifted Article, The Washington Post]: Russian trolls target U.S. support for Ukraine, Kremlin documents show
In a campaign stoking anti-Ukraine sentiment in the U.S., Russia-directed trolls have written thousands of fabricated news articles and social media posts. By Catherine Belton and Joseph Menn
#Russian trolls are trying to influence US support for Ukraine.
Leaked #Kremlin documents point to an orchestrated online campaign designed fuel fear over American border policies and push isolationism, The Washington Post reports.
You know what, though? I bet #russia didn't count on a horde of brain damaged cartoon dogs appearing out of the ether to challenge their 🐂💩 #propaganda about #Ukraine.
If #Israel will bomb a convoy of vehicles with #WorldCentralKitchen logos visible from every conceivable angle during movements they coordinated with the #IDF & whose only crime was to feed people in #Gaza who'd otherwise starve, imagine what they're doing to everyone else there.
It wasn't that long ago that they killed one of the Israeli hostages that managed to escape from #HAMAS.
It gets to me when big companies abuse their power. I watched the latest video from @anderspuck, where he presents an analysis on the Moscow terror attack.
It is a good video, and 148,000 have watched it.
But subsequently YouTube has demonetized his video for "exploiting a sensitive event". So because he is talking about a terror attack, YouTube holds back the payment for his work.
You read that right: the monopoly punishes a content creator for commenting on… reality.

This is why I support creators directly through memberships, subscriptions, donations, etc. You & @anderspuck should consider setring up something on #Patreon or #KoFi to help offset the whims of #Alphabet & their advertisers & algorithms.
I drove to #KansasCity today to enjoy some of the nice #Spring Weather. I was walking around & some young folks from #amnestyinternational asked me if I wanted to donate & support. I asked them "Is Agnes Callamard still running the place?" One of them said, "Yeah I think so" so I replied "No thanks. Glory to #Ukraine" & walked away. #TrueStory #AgnesCallamardMustResign
Last I checked #Putin doesn't raise funds for life saving equipment for #Ukraine'ians or make memes for their moral support online.
Also #NAFO doesn't invade peaceful sovereign countries & try to #genocide the inhabitants.
