‼️⚡️BREAKING: IT IS DONE. The Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) HAS PASSED THE HOUSE!
The bill needed at least 215 votes for a simple majority (due to vacancies) and has already surpassed that threshold, reaching 227 votes in favor, with voting still ongoing.
Next comes the Senate and the signature of President Trump (both will be very difficult)

NEW from me. A short blog post walking through how the CBO's (already scary) budget baseline likely under-estimates the 30-year debt projection by 68% of GDP.
That means the federal debt outlook is $62 trillion(!) worse than is commonly-reported. 🧵
The two recent polls showing Platner up by just 4–5 points are tighter than earlier surveys. This suggests he is slipping as more scandals emerge. One can expect that decline to continue if additional information surfaces about his past or current beliefs and behavior.

Alphabet CEO: "One way to measure growth is tokens, the fundamental units of data our models process. Two years ago, we were processing 9.7 trillion tokens a month. Today, that number has jumped to 3.2 quadrillion, a more than 300 times increase across our surfaces" $GOOG $GOOGL
🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to preserve its grip on power. If it did not value the lives of its own citizens, why would it value the lives of others?
Tom Steyer keeps running around saying that it’s unfair that billionaires like him can buy our democracy, then spending hundreds of millions dollars to do just that, then failing to get elected, and then repeating all the same lines the next time around. It’s extremely funny.
The study is transgenic mice (altered DNA) - not transgender - which were used to study cancer, asthma, & other health risks.
These people must've searched for "trans" and not bothered to read the actual studies.
Wait until they learn about the "transcontinental railroad."
NEW: $45 million worth of cocaine seized after an underground tunnel between Mexico and San Diego, CA was discovered under a Buy 4 Less store.
Investigators say they surveilled the store for months after noticing how little customer foot traffic it had.
Authorities found a nearly 2000-foot-long tunnel that was 55 feet deep and 4.5 feet high with electricity and ventilation.
2270 pounds of coke was seized from the store, and four people were arrested.
Gregorio Epifanio Hernandez Lopez, 29, Jose Jimenez, 32, Antonio Cortez, 18, and Brandon Escalante Sandoval, 26, were arrested.
They all face a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $10 million fine.
"They thought they saw the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, what they saw were our lights and sirens," said U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon.

I hope while @RealCandaceO is in Russia she’ll visit and document some of the air defense sites around Moscow. That’s a critical part of the war that American media is just ignoring! It’s shameful, that type of coverage would go viral.
Some friendly advice: for this type of content, it’s best to capture the equipment and skyline all together, ideally during daylight.
