You might have to consider the possibility that Trump lied. I know, hard to believe that might be case. https://t.co/qjORmuxFIP

The coward in Moscow, who is afraid to meet with President Zelenskyy to end the war, continues to wage a war against civilians.

Russia unleashed the largest number of ballistic missiles since the start of the war — around four dozen — in a brutal terrorist attack on the Ukrainian capital, killing and injuring people.

We urge appropriate and strong responses. We need devastating pressure on Moscow to end this terror.

There can be no pauses in increasing sanctions and isolation of Russia. The 21st EU package must be unblocked now.

There can be no pauses in the protection of life. Agreements on additional interceptors must be implemented without delay.

Everyone who is holding back these vital protection tools from delivery should know that the cost of delay is measured in human lives.

There can be no pauses in our joint work to develop European protection from ballistic terror. We rely on anti-ballistic coalition to advance its work quickly.

There can be no decisions to whitewash Russia’s war crimes by restoring its rights in international sports competitions. The blood of Ukrainians is on the hands of the sports bureaucrats taking such immoral steps.

Putin will not be stopped through appeasement. He will go further unless he is stopped by strength now. Provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to stop Russia and end the war.

No - that's an actor playing an ancient Greek warrior.

[Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo]

Change is inevitable.

You thanked me for Mriya and Diia. In return, I thank you for giving me hope.

I’ve never felt a responsibility this great — not even while serving in government.

Thank you to our veterans and service members for holding the line and upholding our honor.

The dialogue is happening. I believe we will succeed.

"Are Greeks white?" is one of those questions that separates casual racists from elite race scientists

Trans-identified men in Edinburgh are fortunate enough to be welcome at the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which was headed for a while by a trans-identified man who believed, and said publicly, that women who wanted a female-only service were bigots. That same rape centre admitted a male as a client because he called himself non-binary. The man was subsequently convicted for rape.

Beira’s Place was set up by me to provide women in Edinburgh and the Lothians with the female-only service they were being denied. Internal emails between ERRC staff were revealed during an unrelated court case, which showed them to be angry and dismayed that there was now an alternative service for women. One might have thought, reading those emails, that ERRC staff’s priority was the ideological conversion of rape survivors rather than the provision of a service that traumatised women required to feel safe after rape.

Beira’s Place has been exceptionally busy since it opened. We’ve taken on more staff and are currently looking for larger premises. We’ve helped women who’ve admitted that they didn’t want to use the alternative rape centre because of its very loud and public ‘trans women are women’ stance. We are also open to any and all trans-identified women who need support after rape.

In short, you’ll be relieved to hear that the trans-identified men for whom you feel such empathy and compassion aren’t losing out. It was biological women who were being shamed for their entirely legitimate desire for a male-free space. Apparently you’d have preferred that situation to continue, but I think you’ll find that most people, whether male or female, will see that as evidence of your cruelty, not mine.

OSSOFF Speaking in Atlanta

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but I had the opportunity to question the president’s nominee to be Director of National Intelligence.

And I asked Mr. Clayton, the nominee, a very simple question. I asked him who had won the 2020 presidential election.

He was unable—he was unwilling—to answer that question truthfully under oath.

Because it’s like an initiation, right? It’s like the cost of admission to Donald Trump’s inner circle is that you must prove you are willing to lie to Congress.

So he sat there—you can watch the tape—he sat there over and over and over again, refusing to state a basic fact because that is what his boss demanded of him.

And it was a basic fact about American elections.

And this man is now in line, if he’s confirmed, to be the top intelligence officer in the United States.

Now remember who his predecessor has been: Tulsi Gabbard.

Y’all have heard that name because Tulsi Gabbard, the senior-most intelligence officer in the United States—not a law enforcement official, okay, the spy chief—was sent down to Georgia by the president to oversee the seizure of your ballots from an election facility here in Georgia.

When you reflect on the kinds of things that happen in corrupt and abusive governments around the world, when the security officials—okay, when the spy chief—is getting involved in ballot raids at election facilities, that’s a huge red flag.

And that the man he’s now appointed to replace her will not state under oath basic facts about recent elections, as the president gives these menacing primetime remarks signaling clearly his intent to attack the elections and to undermine voting rights, sends a chill down all of our spines—Democrats, independents, and Republicans.

It’s not enough just to win this fall. We have to win so decisively. We have to rebuke these abuses so clearly that no president for centuries will dare this kind of brazen abuse and corruption.
