Good meeting with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC in Kyiv. This is already his 10th visit to our country, and we appreciate this support.
I'm grateful to Lindsey for recognizing our warriors. The stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the greater the chances that diplomacy will ultimately succeed. And right now, it is important that our long-range sanctions pressure on Russia be reinforced through new sanctions steps by our partners. Lindsey briefed me on the work underway in Congress on the relevant bill. We also discussed our urgent air defense needs to protect our people. During the NATO Summit in Ankara, President Trump and I reached political agreements on licensing the production of Patriots in Ukraine. It is now crucial to implement all of this at the team level.
I thank the United States, the President, and Congress for bipartisan and consistent support from both chambers.
The great power of America is the belief of individuals. Individuals making choices to make our ideals reality.
We have the duty, power, and responsibility to act not only for themselves, but for others.

This is an all-time piece of moral clarity from the perennially excellent (and forever-underrated) @MollyMcKew. There’s not a lot to say really except: read it. https://t.co/yirHyMQKVv
Salvation is in small acts, acts which make the bravery of many more possible
My mother always believed this — and that people can be shown goodness is in their self-interest
She saw the despair but navigated with action. She taught me to be American

Happy birthday to my mother, and to my mother’s America —
American power has always been about Americans, and what we choose to believe
Happy Independence Day, all

... We decided to play God, create life. And when that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it wasn't our fault -- not really. You cannot play God and then wash your hands of the things that you've created...
Adama, as if speaking to 2018 tech companies: "When we fought the cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question why. Why are we as a people worth saving? ... We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done...
Venezuela. Iran. Cuba?
In the wars of incidental liberation (or not), strongmen may fall, but others arise
The US emulates the tactics of the enemy as if it is righteousness
Americans forgotten that the defense of human freedom is our strongest weapon

Big stick—or small d*ck?
Great power is not defined by destructive excellence but by what we build with our moral weapons
The bloodlust & crusader-speak is a pathetic mimicry of what we might achieve by targeting necessary fields of battle

As a nation, we are most pathetic at home & abroad when we forget our revolutionary founding documents embodied ideas about human equality & freedom that have spread to the world not just as aspirational benchmarks but as rights to be defended & upheld

A year ago, two dams were opened, propaganda, spilling vital water resources into a void.
Now, it seems America is also spilling out, evaporating away for absolutely no reason and nothing at all.
But we have a choice: say no to the lie.
I say no.
