God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.
Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.
Three years ago today, Russia launched an unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine. A few short weeks later, @KarenPence and I travelled with @SamaritansPurse and witnessed firsthand the flood of women and children fleeing the Russian onslaught near the Ukrainian border. We will never forget it.
Every day since, Ukrainian soldiers have bravely fought and died on this front line of freedom and the American people and our Allies have rightly given them the means to defend their nation. As Leader of the Free World, America must continue to Stand Strong and lead free nations to give Ukraine the support they need to win a victory for their sovereignty, security and freedom. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦
Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
Putin, and Putin alone, should bear the economic costs of Putin’s illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
To force Ukraine to pay these costs is the epitome of victim-blaming and victim extortion.
If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.
MUST WATCH: This is one of those horror stories about the loathsome piece of shit that New Yorkers know all too well. Everyone knows someone who was either scammed, ripped off, or had their life devastated by Trump. 😡😡😡👇
This is quite possibly the first cover of @TheAtlantic magazine ever (in 167 years!) to be published without a headline or typography describing the stories inside. Here is The Atlantic's October cover:
Ten retired, high-ranking military leaders have strongly endorsed Vice President Harris for President today.
"Frankly stated, Donald Trump is a danger to our national security and our democracy. His own former National Security Advisors, Defense Secretaries, and Chiefs of Staff have said so...Our service members and their loved ones deserve a President with the temperament and track record to serve as commander-in-chief...That leader is Kamala Harris."
Boom 💥
"If we elect Donald Trump, we may feel the effects not for years, and not for a generation. We may read our mistake in the geological record a million years hence."

An incredible, longer than one minute standing ovation for President Biden from members of the Irish Parliament.
