Russia’s false allegations against Latvia as well as Estonia and Lithuania are part of a broader disinformation campaign. Finland stands firmly with all countries targeted by Russian intimidation and falsehoods. Truth and freedom must prevail.

Russia’s public threats against our Baltic States are completely unacceptable. Let there be no doubt. A threat against one Member State is a threat against our entire Union. Russia and Belarus bear direct responsibility for drones endangering the lives and security of people on our Eastern flank. Europe will respond with unity and strength. We will continue reinforcing the security of our Eastern flank with strong collective defence and preparedness at every level.

Each time the world reaches out, Putin answers with missiles. Russia’s escalating attacks on Kyiv show that Moscow doesn’t want peace. Air defence systems and missiles are scarce everywhere. But Ukraine needs them now, every single day, to protect its people.

“Necora a la Sal” may be my favorite dish of the year…a Galician crab cooked lightly in the oven with salt… d’berto restaurante is an amazing seafood place...one of the best marisquerias in the world! And the best people ever owner Berto Domínguez and chef Marisol Domínguez…visit in O Grove and tell them I sent you!! 🤗 🦐 🇪🇸

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Good Friday started with a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kharkiv using cluster munitions - killing one, injuring at least 60. And a drone attack on Sumy that killed one person and destroyed a bakery, baking traditional Easter ‘Paska’ bread. Russia’s cruelty knows no bounds.

“We are all afraid… Retaliation is real,” says Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski. It’s the first time a GOP senator has publicly expressed what many have told us privately about the current political climate in the USA.

👀 Can't wait to see Congressional stock trades from this week Ban it.

NASDAQ call volume spiked minutes before the 90 day tariff pause was announced. Not a good look at all.

We are headed into a global financial crisis of Trump's own making with Stephen Miller and Peter Navarro at the wheel - people who have absolutely no idea what they're doing and yet Republicans handed them the keys and Fox treats them like experts.

The weather may not be screaming spring, but this painting sure does 🌱🌷 Likely painted in 1912, this vibrant work exhibits the intense color and bold brushwork that made #EdvardMunch a hero for artists of the next generation.
