Russia doesn’t do tourist visas for Americans right now. The State Dept has a Level 4 advisory - Do not travel. So when @RealCandaceO shows up in Moscow calling it a “family vacation,” ask yourself: how does that happen?
Remember Brittney Griner? Russia held her like a chess piece until we traded a literal arms dealer to get her back. Americans aren’t tourists to the Kremlin; they’re assets.
Candace didn’t sneak in. She was invited to speak at Putin’s own economic forum, alongside sanctioned Russian state figures. The only way an American walks into Russia in 2026 is if Russia opens the door.
Call it what you want. But nothing about that trip was a vacation.
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.
He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.
This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
Sen. Shaheen to Marco Rubio: "In 2017, you wrote as a senator that 'Vladimir Putin will never be a trusted ally or a reliable constructive partner.' But since taking office…not one of you has been to Ukraine, and yet your envoys talked to Putin on a regular basis…Decisions Congress has made on Russia have been systematically undermined."
‼️Fellas, I’m seeing a lot of anti-Irish racism and tropes being flung around due to the Aughinish stuff.
For a start, our #Alumina21 campaign which exposed this beast was started and sustained by Irish people.
Second, many European countries have their own issues with russia
Collins: About the $1.8 billion fund. Is it accurate that the general counsel of the treasury department resigned over that?
Bessent: I will not be taking any other questions.
