Disgusting and evil...
A whole street was destroyed tonight in #Kyiv. This is happening because #russia has $$$ for missiles and #Ukraine has had no deliveries of NASAM or Patriot missiles.

Interesting....

So not only did a Russian Oligarch connected to Putin pay for Don Jr.s wedding party- they went on a Mongolian honeymoon hunting trip together too. I chose a more traditional family values honeymoon in Hawaii with my wife. (08/26/19)

It's not only Musk and the Russians pouring resources into saving the @GOP, it's Zuckerburg right there with them.

The state department that denied they were trying to interfere in Brazil's election to boost Flavio Bolsonaro, helped bolsonaro escape Brazil after he lost.

I live in South Carolina and have a fairly large friend group. My friends are typically conservative and church-goers. Most of us are fathers and mothers. Many of us are highly-educated professionals. As far as I can tell, all of us will be voting for @AnnieAndrewsMD. Good luck!
For 18 months, I've traveled this state and looked you in the eye. Darline Graham has looked down at a script, written by Washington insiders trying to buy this seat. Ok, one last time: I'm Dr. Annie Andrews and I approve this message.

Georgia nurse: We were the only labor and delivery unit in four counties. After Donald Trump cut Medicaid, we were forced to shut down. Mike Collins voted for Trump’s Medicaid cuts. We were devastated, because we know some of these babies won't make it. I reached out, and Mike Collins essentially told me that Donald Trump's plan was more important than these women and babies. I'm a registered Republican, but I'm voting for Jon Ossoff. He's always fighting to protect women and children.

Talarico: I know that we're not the only show in town tonight, and I appreciate all 4,000 of you that showed up here this evening. That's a lot of Talafreakos in one room. Tonight, Lubbock showed up for change.

This was a plausible theory among McConnell allies at the time; he still had a lot of juice then. Could his conviction vote win 10 Republicans? It’s at least plausible. If so the Senate could have barred Trump from running again. McConnell voted to acquit and the rest is history.
Former Rep. @Liz_Cheney (R-WY) says she believes President Trump would have been convicted if Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) decided to convict: "I think if he had voted to convict, we would have had enough Republicans who would have followed him that he would've been convicted."

Just so we're all clear on this, the Trump administration is harboring a fugitive illegal immigrant after they tried to steal an election with help from his billionaire donors. Again.

Zuckerberg already admitted it wrongly suspended the No Kings Instagram account during the peak of a massive voter-mobilization effort. Now, seven days before the midterms, Zuckerberg has suspended the account Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign uses to organize Latino voters. At what point do repeated “mistakes” that suppress organizing by Democrats become an election-integrity crisis?

The seashells weren't enough. Now the vindictive crusade continues. Imagine the prosperity our nation would see if this administration put as much effort into lowering your cost of living as they do into prosecuting James Comey.
