If I were President and anyone on my staff called Putin a humanitarian they’d be fired on the spot. Let Witkoff move to Russia and let his sons join the Russian army if he admires them so much.

The Washington Capitals won their hockey game last night 4-3. With Putin apologist and support of their war against Ukraine, Alex Ovechkin, on the ice. Some things are more important than hockey, @NHL. @ovi8 @Capitals

I know a lot of those Ukrainians who are fighting in the trenches. They fight for freedom because they will never be Russian slaves. And they fight to rid themselves of billionaire oligarchs like Elon.

Hey everyone, a friend's parents were just detained by ICE. This is a great, hardworking Texas family, facing an absolutely terrible and unknown future. They have set up a gofundme for legal expenses. Please chip in, I just did: gofund.me/2b4144467

Ukraine just repatriated 270 POWs from Russian captivity. He has “Jew” carved into his back. These are the people are president says are “fine“ on Ukraine. That Witkoff calls “humanitarian.”

This is the most consequential election in generations, and we have a great chance to end 30+ years of single-party rule in the great state of Texas. Reach254 is a great way to reach out to your friends & family to encourage them to vote. @txdemocrats www.reach254.com

This girl and her mother were recently killed in Kharkiv. Trump says Russia “has been fine on Ukraine.” Witkoff says Putin is a humanitarian. A vote for Republicans is a vote for this evil.

The Midterms are in 2 weeks. Republicans will bring more: - crazy inflation - corruption - support for Putin's Russia - unwinnable wars - ICE secret police - Epstein coverup If you're a tech billionaire, I'd vote GOP. Otherwise, let's throw them out and save our country.

They say inflation is 3.7%. - My streaming & data subscriptions all just went up 20% - My flood insurance is up 100% over the last 5 years - My grocery bills are up 50% over the past year - Electric bills are up 20% The only 3.7% I see is the amount gas goes up every day.

With a few dozen modern fighters like the F16, including weapons and logistics, Ukraine would completely neutralize Russian drone strikes and would push their Flankers out of range, stopping their glide bomb attacks. Something we could do tomorrow. It's time to act.

I’m going to share some videos that I took in Ukraine last week. This was my train ride to Poland, which got evacuated three times for drone strikes. This was the night that Starlink wasn’t working and that hindered Ukrainian drone defense. We didn’t know that at the time.

Put your money where your mouth is? Corrupt interests heard that loud and clear. On this episode of The Steady State’s Daily Swamp, we look at how bad actors and mega-donors hijacked Citizens United to flood our elections with untraceable dark money. Don't forget to like, share, and follow! 🐊

Imagine being a colonel at war college 50 years from now writing a paper about this air war. The West has 1000s of modern combat aircraft, yet expects Ukraine to fight with a few dozen outdated F16s without enough missiles or bullets. They won’t know whether to laugh or cry.

One of the biggest problems Ukraine is facing now are jet-powered drones; they’re tough to intercept. There’s no need to wait for drone interceptors- give them more F-16s with munitions. They could be shooting down Gerans tomorrow. Europe- you could do this today.

I was at Maidan, Kyiv tonight. There is a massive memorial here to thousands of Ukrainians who have lost their lives fighting Russian evil. America- we need to rid ourselves of the moral cesspool that occupies the White House and the GOP Congressmen and Senators who enable him.
