The French army which invaded Russia in 1812 had many units from other countries, willing and unwilling. While France supplied most troops, Poles, Swiss, Italians & Germans provided sizeable contingents. It was the biggest army at the time (600,000) but also the biggest disaster.

Kristi Noem needs to go.
Trump needs to end these ICE operations.

And Congress needs to hold them accountable.

That’s a governor drawing a line and daring the federal government to cross it again.

Day 1 of Hill meetings with the gaming industry on tariffs. Felt great to be with volunteer advocates who traveled to DC on their own dime to defend our community. If you’re not part of the new GAMA, you should be. @gmtgames @TheGAMAOnline @fortcircle
