The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
This all started w/ taunts of “Canada will be the 51st state” & “their Prime Minister will be the 51st governor.” The insults gained us nothing but animosity that cost us economically & now militarily. Cooler & wiser brains are needed to preserve a close alliance w/ our neighbor.
NATO is the most successful military alliance in human history.
It's appalling some Republicans would do our adversaries' bidding by abandoning our allies.
America and the world are safer when NATO is strong.
70% of Americans strongly support Ukraine. It is time that Congress reflect the will of the people and stand with freedom. I am glad we have 218 signatures on the discharge petition that will bring this vote to the floor.
This is another reason why we are forcing a Ukrainian aid and Russian sanctions bill for a vote in the House. The United States must take more forceful action to defend freedom against this Russian aggression against civilians.
When you see clips of people celebrating in Hungary after corrupt Orban is gone, realize that Trump, Vance and Rubio did everything they could to keep those celebrations from happening so Putin’s puppet could remain in power.
Unia Europejska jest niedoskonała, irytująca, nudna, ale niczego lepszego w naszej historii nie wymyśliliśmy. Czas pokoju, dobrobytu, wolności, demokracji i solidarności między narodami przez wieki walczącymi ze sobą to cud. Niech trwa jak najdłużej.
Today is Europe Day.
And Ukraine is marking it not formally or through sloganeering, but fully aware that we are already an inseparable part of the European family. We are defending Ukraine, our independence, our future – and in doing so, we in Ukraine are defending our Europe. A Europe of which Ukraine has been and will remain a part.
From the first days of the full-scale war until today, Europe has stood with Ukraine. And this is not charity – it is a choice made by Europeans: to stand on the same side as the brave and the strong – the Ukrainians who are fighting today for peace and true protection against tyranny, not only for themselves, but for the entire continent. And we will inevitably defend our state, our people, and our right to freely choose our future – a future in Europe.
Glory to Ukraine!
Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective?
Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears?
It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists!
I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.
Gerrymandering is undemocratic and evil.
And it's essential the party that has repeatedly tried to ban it keeps doing it until the party that historically abused it gets curb stomped so badly they cry uncle and agree to the ban.
These are not contradictory positions to hold.
Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails.
Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.
Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability.
We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe.
Today, many Eastern Churches celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar. In communion of faith in the Risen Lord, I extend my heartfelt wishes for peace to all these communities. Let us #PrayTogether for all those suffering due to war, particularly for the dear people of Ukraine. May the light of Christ bring comfort to afflicted hearts and strengthen the hope for peace. May the international community’s attention to the tragedy of this war not waver!
Absolutely massive win for the people of Hungary, Europe and fans of democracy. Also, hell of a week for @JDVance. Everything that guy touched turned to shit.
