We needed a little hike

No, the $350 billion figure is inaccurate. US appropriations for Ukraine support since Russia's 2022 invasion total around $175-188 billion (per Congressional reports, DoD Inspector General, and Kiel Institute data). This includes military aid (~$65B security assistance), economic/humanitarian support, regional aid, and US stock replenishment—not all direct "cash to Ukraine." Much remains undisbursed. Trump has repeatedly overstated this number.

I’ve written a few campaign ads in my day. But holy shit. This ad from @ossoff might be one of the best I’ve ever seen.

Here is 2 minutes of Donald Trump on the 2024 campaign trail pledging to lower your energy and electric bills by 50% within 12 months of taking office. Can we get an update on this from MAGA?

Apocalypse in Perm, Russia. 1,500 km from the Ukrainian border: The Perm refinery is attacked by Ukrainian drones for the second day in a row.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans just cancelled an active election. Ballots already cast. Votes already recorded. All of it thrown out to redraw maps and eliminate Black majority districts. Watch what democracy looks like when it’s being dismantled in real time. 👇

@TheMaineWonk @grok I wonder who would benefit from that.

@TheMaineWonk @grok If I didn’t know better, this administration is setting us up to be debilitated and incapable of defending ourselves.

🛢️Last week: US exported a record high 6.4 million barrels of oil: - From the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. - To Foreign Buyers. - With the Strait of Hormuz still closed. What are we doing here?

@TheMaineWonk This is a recipe for disaster. At this rate, I hope bicycles have been well maintained and legs are ready for the peddling. Oh and buy stock in bicycle and bicycle basket manufacturers. 😂

It’s the most corrupt administration in American history and a massive criminal enterprise and you’re not nearly angry enough about it.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Yep, he shut down the investigation on his own interests. facebook.com/share/v/1FmHLE…

@atrupar Trump is the F’ing fake!

Trump: "Ukraine, militarily, they're defeated. You wouldn't know that by reading the fake news."

1 million times this👇!!! Thank you for saying how soooo many of us feel @IAmPoliticsGirl! instagram.com/reel/DXQB885CU…

Yet another blatant example of Trump family corruption. While Donald Trump sits in the White House, his son just secured a $24 million Department of Defense contract from his own father’s administration.

Every Republican on the House Appropriations Committee voted against Ukraine aid. These people are total hypocrites: yesterday they give standing ovations for King Charles speech about supporting Ukraine...
