Ukraine is winning right now. We should arm them, give them the intelligence they need, and let them strike deep into Russia. Instead we're making them beg for it. Democrat or Republican, the next administration has to make the decision: we want Ukraine to win.⁩ @McCainInstitute

@mmpadellan 👋

Wave if you see this 👋 Also, fuck you Elmo.

This is why. When some russian in a hotel asks me why I do not want to talk to him, when some European asks me why I am not "tolerant" – the answer is in this photo. There are thousands of such kids in Ukraine whose parents were killed simply because russians followed their crazy tsar instead of stopping him. The russian army is 2.4 million. Most of them have been to Ukraine. The police is about 1 million. There are also smaller forces – FSB (200 thousand), National Guard (340 thousand) and others. So we are already at more than four million people involved. And then count those who work as subcontractors for the army. Those who work in weapons factories. Count the government and everyone working for it. You get every 10th adult russian working for the war. 30% of russia's budget is spent on it. This is not "Putin's war," this is "every russian's war." So when I meet a russian man in some hotel, I know there is a 10% chance he is directly involved. And the remaining 90% support it – by action or inaction. So how should I treat them? If he wants a conversation, he should start by asking for forgiveness and condemning their army and their regime. In all other cases, I won't even talk to such a person.

It was indeed.

Hi, it’s George Conway here with my Pawlicy Director, Clyde, who can sniff out nonsense faster than MAGA can say “witch hunt.” We’ve got to protect our democracy from Trump’s deranged, egomaniacal descent into authoritarianism. We’re asking you personally: Will you chip in right now to help fuel our fight to STOP Donald Trump and flip the House blue? gc4ny.com/Clyde

@RadioFreeTom @MollyJongFast I am so pissed off and disappointed with many of my friends and family that imagined that somehow he was an acceptable choice despite all evidence to the contrary Tom. How in the world 77+ million people came to that conclusion just escapes me.

Don’t use passive voice here. We weren’t saddled with it. Millions of people thought it would be hilarious to own the libs and that groceries (whatever those are) would be cheap and that government is just a tv show.

Great to be a part of the @MSNOWNews team. Thanks for the kind words @NicolleDWallace, you’re the best.

JUST ANNOUNCED: @BarackObama joins @colbertlateshow on Tuesday, May 5th

Hey friends. If you haven’t heard Manu Intiraymi (Icheb, from “Star Trek Voyager, that’s me) well, I have a indescribably amazing Mom, but she’s dying quickly from one of the worst cancerous Brain tumors in existence, a GlioBlastoma. The surgeon from UCSF, DR. Jacob Young (Stud) removed 80% of that little 👹 out of her head, but it’s likely to return in a shorter time than we’d prefer. Like, months. Here is a link where you can help. gofund.me/e7b4fa5d8 So, here comes the radiation treatments & (maybe) chemotherapy. After her last treatment WE would love to see his Mom get to ENJOY every day of LIFE she has left 2 THE FULLEST before it rears his ugly face. Help by donating or sharing the link!!! Care and love are out there!!! Help us prove it. #StarTrek #ST4Ichebsmom #BelieveInKindness

Day two. Account already suspended by X for unclear reasons only to be restored without the nice follower bump from yesterday. Please re-follow Adam if you think Kansas deserves a Senator who listens!

NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom announced the completion of a first-of-its-kind solar-covered canal in the Central Valley. ☀️💧 This cutting-edge project is generating clean electricity, cutting evaporation before water reaches farms and homes, and helping strengthen California’s water infrastructure for a hotter, drier future.

Most of you will never have had: Measles Mumps Rubella Tetanus Diphtheria Polio And none of you will ever have had Smallpox Why? Because vaccines work

@New64GTO @Mr_Husky1 No…Edward Land invented the process and commercialized it in 1948.

@Mr_Husky1 How did they share the picture they took with him when instant photos didnt come out until 1970?

"On a peaceful Sunday afternoon in June 1961, just months after leaving the presidency, Dwight D. Eisenhower was tending his vegetable garden at his Gettysburg farm when he noticed a young couple had gotten their car stuck in the mud on the rural road bordering his property, and without hesitation, this 70-year-old former Supreme Commander grabbed a rope from his barn, trudged through the muck in his overalls, and spent forty-five minutes helping them push their beat-up Chevy back onto solid ground. What makes this moment so beautifully human is that the couple—newlyweds Tom and Susan from Ohio driving cross-country on their honeymoon—had absolutely no idea they were being rescued by the man who'd led the Allied forces to victory and served two terms as President, and Eisenhower never mentioned it, just introduced himself as 'Ike, the farmer next door' and asked about their travels while hauling on the rope with mud splattered all over his work clothes. When they finally got the car free, Eisenhower's wife Mamie appeared with a thermos of lemonade and homemade cookies, inviting this bewildered young couple to sit on their porch and rest, and for an hour they chatted about marriage advice, good fishing spots in Pennsylvania, and the best route to California, with Ike telling stories about his own road trips with Mamie decades earlier. It wasn't until Tom and Susan stopped for gas twenty miles down the road and showed the attendant a photo they'd taken with 'the nice farmer who helped us' that someone gasped and said, 'That's President Eisenhower!'—and the couple nearly fainted realizing they'd just shared lemonade and marriage tips with one of history's greatest leaders who'd treated them like old friends rather than starstruck strangers. Tom later wrote Eisenhower a letter thanking him for the kindness, and Ike responded with a handwritten note: 'The pleasure was all ours—Mamie and I love meeting young people starting their adventures together. Remember: a good marriage is like farming, it takes patience, hard work, and the wisdom to know some days you're just going to get muddy. Stay happy. Your friend, Ike.' What absolutely destroys you is understanding that Eisenhower could've enjoyed celebrity retirement, could've had staff handle every inconvenience, but instead he chose to be simply *Ike*—a neighbor who helped strangers, a farmer who got his hands dirty, a man who measured his worth not by past glory but by present kindness, proving that true greatness is what you do when nobody's watching and nobody knows your name.

Today, I'm announcing that I'm running for the United States Senate. I'm a fifth-generation Kansan. My family came here 147 years ago and settled in a town called Hope. I'm running because Kansas — and our country — deserve better than what Washington has been giving us. We need leaders who put service above self, country before party, and people before politics. I'm an independent-minded Democrat. I’ll lead by listening. And I'll be a champion for Kansas. Join us: HamiltonForKansas.com

Jon Ossoff appears to have a rhetorical political superpower. He’s a storyteller. A good one.

Even if it takes me 20 years I'll follow back anybody who reposts this thread

Just a thought: Congress should mandate that Trump rebuild the East Wing. End this talk of the ballroom now.
