[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head.

Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion.

The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin.

This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Trump admits that Russia is helping Iran to kill and maim American troops.

But just a “very little.”

This is a grotesque betrayal of US forces on the battlefield in this war—and their families.

The war that Trump launched.

No American Commander-in-Chief has sunk so low.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

President Trump’s decision to waive sanctions against Russia as Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine dishonors the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham and is decidedly not in the national interests of the United States and should be reversed.

Putin is a war criminal and only understands strength. Waiving Graham Act sanctions on Russia signals weakness at a moment that demands American strength. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression, just as we did during the years of the first Trump Administration.

A victory in Ukraine would be a victory for freedom and is squarely in the national interests of the United States. If Putin overruns Ukraine, I have no doubt it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.

For the cause of freedom, for America’s national security and that of our allies including Ukraine, President Trump should Restore sanctions under the Graham Act immediately, Rescind the diesel deal with Russia and Rally our Allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Putin's Trojan Horse

The survival of the free world is locked in a zero-sum war of attrition: either Donald Trump is permanently stripped of power, or American democracy is extinguished.

Trump's presidency is not politics — it is an unprecedented foreign infiltration of the Oval Office, a direct act of treasonous subversion by a Russian asset handpicked and manipulated by Putin to dismantle everything we hold dear. He must be removed, by any constitutional means necessary, before the collapse is irreversible.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

When he inevitably runs for president again, Marco Rubio is going to pretend he had nothing to do with any of this shit.
But we will be here to remind him.
His boss has aligned our country with Putin and he is complicit.
@SecRubio, you are a traitor.
Trust me, we will not forget.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

So the president claims not to know who did something that should only be doable, if at all, with the president’s knowledge, if not by the president himself.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The richest man on earth dropped nearly $300 million to buy himself a Congress.

That’s not democracy. That’s a purchase order.

On November 3, remind him the government isn’t for sale.

Thomas Massie responds to media when asked about the latest developments on the Epstein Files: “You know, if this were a private law firm with 5% of the resources of the DOJ, this would have been done by the deadline. And they just missed another deadline, which is the report to Congress, which is supposed to list all the politicians that are in their files, and also they’re supposed to justify all the redactions 15 days after the first 30-day window.

But the biggest problem isn’t that they’re missing the deadlines—it’s what they’re redacting. So they’re citing the Privacy Act and they’re trying to pretend like that overrides a law that we just passed that says you can’t withhold records to prevent embarrassment. They’re also citing FOIA standards which don’t apply to our law when they’re trying to say that they don’t have to release internal decisions, but our bill specifically says release internal decisions.”

The victims will NEVER see justice.

And the saddest part? These perpetrators are still out there raping, trafficking and murdering children.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

On October 16, 2019, I told Donald Trump, “With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.”

On October 16, 2026, Trump signed an executive order waiving new sanctions on Russia passed by bipartisan majorities in Congress and signed into law just last month.

This decision insults America’s commitment to democracy and our brave men and women in uniform, as Russia helps Iran target American forces.

I join Republican senators in condemning this unconscionable capitulation to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians.

As I have asked for years: What does Putin have on Trump that he would sell out America’s values?

You know what to do ‼️‼️‼️

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. Enough is enough.

President Trump should rescind the diesel deal with Russia and use the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act to impose harsh sanctions on nations purchasing Russian energy, work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Complicity in Slaughter: Outrage Explodes as Reports Link Musk and Trump to Ukraine Drone Shield Crippling

Demands are rapidly intensifying for Donald Trump and far-right disinformation propagandist Elon Musk to face international war crimes charges following a catastrophic disruption to Ukraine's frontline defenses.

A devastating exposé by The Telegraph, citing four anonymous sources, reveals a shocking level of complicity: it was Elon Musk who personally approached Donald Trump with the proposal to throttle Starshield — the military-grade version of his Starlink satellite network. Trump reportedly agreed to the scheme.

By deliberately crippling Ukraine's drone defense systems, this calculated move effectively disabled the country's shield against Russian aggression. The sabotage directly allowed Vladimir Putin's forces to rain lethal drone strikes down upon undefended cities, resulting in the brutal slaughter of innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children.

Critics and legal experts argue that by actively interfering with military infrastructure to benefit an invading, authoritarian Apparatchik force, both figures have crossed the line from political interference into direct complicity in war crimes.

A historic video – November 22, 1994:

The U.S. President thanks Ukraine for giving up its nuclear weapons. In return, the U.S. promises to stand by Ukraine’s side to safeguard its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity well into the future.

That future has arrived—yet today, Trump and his circle act as if none of this ever happened.

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

America may finally be waking up.
Senator Richard Blumenthal is leading 12 senators, six Democrats and six Republicans, demanding that Trump reverse his disastrous Russian diesel deal. Their message is extraordinary: the deal rewards an American adversary, betrays Ukraine, and could ultimately strengthen Russia’s military cooperation with Iran while American forces are fighting in the Middle East. Even Mitch McConnell has signed on. The Kyiv Independent

And then look at Texas.

In 2024, Republicans won the statewide US House popular vote there by 18 points. CNN’s Harry Enten now has Democrats 2 points ahead, although technically with no clear leader. That is roughly a 20-point swing. If Democrats actually win the statewide House vote, it would be the first time since 1992. Hispanic voters have moved even more dramatically, from Trump +10 in 2024 to Democrats +31 in the latest polling. CNN Transcripts

These two pictures belong together.

Americans are getting tired of the chaos. Tired of watching a failing Trump presidency punish allies, rescue Putin, undermine Ukraine and make decisions that can help the very powers working against American interests.

When even Texas starts moving, Washington should pay attention.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Donald Trump is corrupt.

He is a narcissist.

He is a pathological liar.

He is a danger to the United States and to working families.

We cannot allow his party to control the Senate. VOTE.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
