Elon Musk, Pete Hegseth, and anyone else who played a role in cutting off Ukraine's ability to defend itself must answer for it. Congress must get to the bottom of this.
The last time I saw Senator John McCain, he pointed to a line in one of his books and told me to always remember it: “There’s nothing in life more liberating than fighting for a cause larger than yourself.” He taught me so much about working with people you don’t always agree with to get things done. That’s the spirit I’m bringing to this job.

- Trumps Versicherungspolice war schon immer der schnelle, schon geglückte Umbau der Exekutive und der Ministerien. Das erschwert sehr deutlich alles, was die Demokraten nun planen & sie sind planbar.

Any special interest that hired @SusieWiles daughter, @KatieWiles0303, a lobbyist for Continental Strategy, “was getting a high priority" inside the WH, said @calleymeans.
“You pay Susie’s daughter, & it was openly discussed when they had a client.” https://t.co/a5w3uCeXH8
On the Talarico campaign, we wrote speeches for the For You page.
Everything was designed to work in the room AND be consumed in clip-sized increments.
In 2026, speeches are compilations of clips.
One crucial thing to watch is how many US and Ukrainian assets Trump tries to give to Russia in the next three months. Probably deserving of a real-time investigation of its own.

Unter den US-Demokraten kursiert ein neuer Witz:
A black woman, an indigenous woman, and a Latino woman walk into a bar.
The bartender says, „What can I get you, governor?“

I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.
This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.
