Motherfucking traitors. @SteveScalise @HouseGOP will own this. Every one of these anti-American politicians will be defeated sooner than later.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Contact Scalise.
[phone] And contact YOUR Representative to let them know what you think of them not voting to secure our borders and provide aid to allies.

GOP Sen. James Lankford told me that Speaker Johnson was invited to participate in the Senate talks but ultimately declined because, he said, the House had already approved its own border security bill.

Johnson has been increasingly critical of the Senate talks and has suggested that House members were not allowed to take part in the talks.

But Lankford told me that Johnson was asked “early on” whether “you want to be engaged on this.”

Johnson’s response, according to Lankford: “He said the House has already spoken,” referring to the House Republican bill, HR-2, which Senate Democrats call a non-starter.

Johnson has been “loosely briefed” on the Senate talks since then, according to Lankford.

Lankford also touted the provisions in the border deal, saying that if the legislation were law today, “the border would have literally been closed every day for the last four months.”

The legislation would give the federal government new emergency authority to turn away migrants between ports of entry if border crossings surpass a certain weekly threshold.

Today, I visited frontline positions at one of the most difficult areas of the frontline, in Robotyne, to speak with warriors in person and award those who have shown remarkable results in combat in recent weeks.

I thanked them for their bravery and endurance in defending our positions and country.

I also visited Zaporizhzhia, the East Air Force Command, and Kryvyi Rih. The primary focus was on defending our regions, people, social sphere, infrastructure, and industry from Russian air attacks.

We are working to strengthen our ability to shoot down Russian missiles and drones. Our Air Force warriors and mobile air defense groups who counter Russian air terror deserve our gratitude and further strengthening. In this regard, we are also preparing for new negotiations with partners.

Tucker Carlson has been useful to Viktor Orban because he helps him hide his corruption behind the veil "culture war," as I wrote in September. Reposting because Carlson is in Moscow, doing the same favor for a much bloodier, more dangerous autocrat. https://t.co/5KLTtWV2CE

When the Senate votes on support for Ukraine, we will be taking one of the most consequential votes any of us have ever taken.

Our allies and adversaries are watching. We must choose honor in Ukraine.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

The EU has overcome their internal disputes and moved forward on aid to Ukraine, but it won’t be enough unless we honor our commitments, too.

We can’t back out on our friends across Europe. It’s time to get this done.

[Senator Angus King @SenAngusKing]

Curbing aid to Ukraine doesn't just empower Russia — it also signals a lack of determination to adversaries like China.

In an Armed Services Committee hearing, I made it crystal clear the U.S.’ support of Ukraine is intrinsically tied to our deterrence strategy against China.

[Ben Hodges @general_ben]

UAF are running rings around the Kremlin. Russians seem unable to protect energy infrastructure, airplanes on the ground in Crimea, or their Ships. We, the West, should stay out of the business of telling Ukraine how to fight. Just give them the tools.

Our funding to Ukraine weakens one of our greatest military adversaries… with absolutely no risk to a single American or NATO soldier.

It’s a smart investment, and it’s the right thing to do. Why would we stop?

[Jmtman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @jmtman_josh]

@IlvesToomas @martinwolf_ Thank you for the article. I am not fatigued and will be writing my congressman today to support Ukraine.

[toomas hendrik ilves @IlvesToomas]

‘Ukraine fatigue’ is unpardonable.

Western countries have the resources but now must display the will to ensure Russia does not prevail.

An important piece with lots of data, by @martinwolf_
A gift to my followers.

Ukraine is in a critical moment, but Russia can still be stopped, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

In an interview with ARD, he urged the world to continue believing in victory over Russian invaders and supporting Ukraine

Russia has launched over 330 missiles of various types and approximately 600 combat drones at Ukrainian cities since the beginning of the year.

To withstand such terrorist pressure, a sufficiently strong air shield is required. And this is the type of air shield we are building with our partners.

We must ensure Ukraine's control over its skies, which is also critical to ensuring security on the ground—from frontline positions to hospitals and schools in the rear.

Air defense and electronic warfare are our top priorities. Russian terror must be defeated—this is achievable.

At age 82 (next month), McConnell is already the longest-serving Senate leader. He doesn’t need more time in the job. Allowing more Ukrainians to die, and Russia to win, only for Trump to dethrone him anyway, would be as pitiful as it would be tragic. https://t.co/HZ0lRqftKf

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Let me be clear: walking away from Ukraine now would be a mistake of historic proportions.

Mitt Romney: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling."

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

If we don’t honor our commitment to Ukraine, there’s not a single nation – friend or foe – that will fully trust us again.

Renewing our aid is essential to keeping our partnerships and maintaining our place in the world.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Every single day that we delay aid is a boon for Vladimir Putin.

We need to stop playing right into the hands of this tyrant. We must pass a full aid package to Ukraine now.

[Jmtman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @jmtman_josh]

@BillKristol I’ll do the same
