Diplomacy and statesmanship seem to have been checked at the door of the Oval Office today. Ukraine is an ally in pursuit of free markets, free speech, and free people—Western values that align with our own. A win for Putin, on the other hand, does not. I am hopeful that our countries can get back to the table and advance the prospects of a just and lasting peace.
It is a little funny that BYU went 10-2 with a head-to-head win over a 2-loss team that got an at large bid to the Playoff and really no one said anything about it. 🤷
@BillSimmons @julietlitman @TheRewatchables Fun fact @julietlitman, you guys mentioned Christina Applegate. Tina Caspary, who played Barbara, was the original Kelly Bundy in the Married With Children unaired pilot.

The horrific and depraved Russian war crimes in Bucha and elsewhere demand a response. Here are some actions we should take:
-Kick out the Russian Ambassador to the U.S.
-Sanction all Russian banks, not just some.

@MikeLMower@AbbyPalmerCox@GovCox She has worked for the Peace Corps for 15+ years. She and others who have worked for the US are in great danger if Russia takes their country, just like Afghans who worked for and with our government. She is desperate to advocate for her people with our policy makers.
@MikeLMower@AbbyPalmerCox@GovCox A friend of mine is one of the few refugees from Ukraine who has made it to the US. She’s in DC. I’ve reached out to all of our Utah members of congress to arrange meetings for her and have gotten nowhere. Could you help me set up meetings for her?
@RepChrisStewart@RepChrisStewart a friend of mine, who has worked for the Peace Corps in Ukraine for 15 years, is one of the first Ukrainian refugees in the US. She is frustrated by the current processes for refugees to get here. She is in DC. Would you meet with her to hear her experience?
