Once a masticator, always a masticator. Readily available for masticating advice, it’s what I’m good at

MAGA sheriffs CANNOT seize ballots in California. Period.

The California Supreme Court just affirmed that democracy is alive and well in our state. And, the new laws I just signed last week provide additional protections so politicians can't attempt to take your vote away.

Voting in California is safe and secure and we're going to keep it that way.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

The president himself said he’s open to Chinese companies coming in, setting up shop, making Chinese cars here. And I just wanna say, as Michigan’s senator, that is the beginning of the end of the American auto industry.

We just don’t want the president to make any dumb deals. He’s rolling out the red carpet for Chinese companies as he punches others in the teeth.

Latvian President Rinkevics: Russian drones are used to hunt civilians in Ukraine. Human lives are treated like targets in a safari. These are not policy disagreements.

These are grave violations of international law, and there must be accountability. 1/

I want to know WHICH uni courses magically transform a Radiographer , Physio , OT , speech and language therapist , nurse or paramedic into a Dr substitute who can do THIS without any medical qualifications at all 👇🏼

If what Sec. Rubio says is true (never a sure thing in this administration), that means American businesses are actively engaged in helping Russian the oil industry.

[Мысли Перзидента @VVP2_0]

Государственный секретарь США не просит росию прекратить наносить удары по Киеву, Одессе, Херсону, Днепру, Харькову. Он просит Украину прекратить наносить удары по НПЗ росии. Какая ничтожная аморальная личность.

Developers are being told they can now pay to trash and override environmental legal protections.

Why are the big environment charities being so silent? 👇👇👇

[Markus Mattsson 🇺🇦🇫🇮 @markus_tm]

This is pure horror. I spent two months in Ukraine this summer, and had russian missiles and drones explode all around me. I can tell you from personal experience that when the map looks like this, it’s pure horror. Keep supporting Ukraine in whatever way you can 🙏

[Marko Mihkelson 🇪🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @markomihkelson]

What about Ukraine? What, exactly, is the difference between missiles fired by the Houthis, Iran or Russia? Why should the response be any different?

[Ashley Duffany 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @NAFOteacher]

Ask yourself WHY.

Why does Trump greet Putin and Xi with accolades, yet meet Zelenskyy and other U.S. allies with contempt?!

Despicable, shameful, and downright un-American.

[Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot]

As I wrote a few days ago in @PostOpinions, Trump doesn’t seem to notice that the bromance is entirely one-sided; Xi didn’t greet Trump at the airport when Trump went to Beijing. Yet, as a token of his unrequited friendship, Trump gave China access to powerful AI chips, paused a $14 billion arms sales to Taiwan, and offered excuses for China providing satellite imagery that enables Iran to target U.S. bases. https://t.co/aXqTdhTyDf

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.

What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. https://t.co/ivQhkhKhU4

[Pierre Cazeneuve @PierreCazeneuve]

On comprend mieux pourquoi Madame Le Pen a refusé de se rendre à l'Elysée pour être informée de l'évolution de la menace Russe : elle a déjà choisi son camp.

C'est celui de la soumission au Kremlin et de l'abandon de l'Ukraine.

Terrifiant et irresponsable.

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

President Trump has a habit of rolling out the red carpet for our adversaries, while punching our allies in the mouth.

He made the decision that it is okay to sell our most sophisticated chips to China.

At the upcoming summit, the President could make the decision to stop providing those chips, and slow down the progress that the Chinese are able to make on dangerous AI models.

There’s always a fucking tweet.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics.

Like Blair, Cameron, Clegg, Mandelson, hired to open govt networks to companies.

They sell political capital built with public money. What do we get in return?

@kajakallas But what about Usmadov and Fridman, where is the unity there. What does Russia see now?

[Kira Rudik @kiraincongress]

France pushed to lift sanctions on Usmanov amid pressure over detained French citizens. Luxembourg then demanded Fridman be removed too.

Now russia and its friends have learned something dangerous: detain an EU citizen, create enough pressure, and sanctions become negotiable.

Europe should never have created this precedent.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

"Unwavering support for Ukraine" with the left hand while the right one will be lifting sanctions against Russian oligarchs perpetuating Russia's war.
