@JDVance No. And I was there.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

Last I checked, you still don’t speak or read German. So you really don’t know what you are talking about. Stop confusing people.

[Oleksiy Goncharenko @GoncharenkoUa]

During the @MunSecConf I had the opportunity to join the @AJEnglish broadcast in which I gave some insights regarding peace negotiations and overall situation in Ukraine.

Many thanks @AJEnglish for raising such important issues.

Heute vor 56 Jahren, am 13. Februar 1970, wurden beim Anschlag auf das Seniorenheim der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde in der Reichenbachstraße 27 sieben Menschen ermordet. Sie starben, weil sie Juden waren.⁠

Wir werden ihnen ein ehrendes Andenken bewahren.

[Oleksiy Goncharenko @GoncharenkoUa]

I’m in Munich for the Security Conference.

Dozens of panels, speeches, and important conversations ahead.

And of course, lots of questions for the speakers - especially about Ukraine.

I’ll keep you posted.

🇪🇺☢️Mind the Deterrence Gap: Assessing Europe’s Nuclear Options.

As the @MunSecConf 2026 starts today, @HFayet, Research Fellow at Ifri's Security Studies Center, co-authored the latest report of the European Nuclear Study Group. Five policy options are discussed in European defense and security circles for assessing Europe's nuclear deterrence:

• Continued reliance on US extended nuclear deterrence
• Strengthening the role of British and French nuclear forces in European deterrence
• Developing a common European deterrent
• Pursuing new, independent national nuclear deterrents
• Investing in conventional deterrence without a nuclear component

This report is published by the European Nuclear Study Group (ENSG), which was established in 2024 as a joint initiative of the Munich Security Conference, the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School in Berlin, and the Institute of Political Science at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The issue of #nuclear deterrence rightly occupies an important place at this year's Munich Security Conference. Important to raise the nuclear IQ across #NATO nations at a time when Russia continuously engages in irresponsible nuclear rhetoric & signalling.

Pleased to be hosting the @CSU Transatlantic Forum again at the @MunSecConf .
An outstanding lineup this year, including President of the European Commission @vonderleyen , @Markus_Soeder , @SecGenNATO, @AussenMinDE, @SenBlumenthal, @SwedishPM & @hahnflo. @HSGStGallen

Methinks a reading of Citizen United will put an end to such silly talk, Senator. By the way, your demonizing of a great American success story who is committed to an open society by resorting to inuendo is beneath your office.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

There’s considerable evidence that George Soros and his network are funding the “No Kings” rallies.

That’s exactly why I’ve introduced the Stop FUNDERs Act.

It lets law enforcement prosecute those funding acts of political violence.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

Mr. Speaker- under your leadership the House has failed to pass a budget. That is your job. All the rest of this is theater for which you will not be receiving a best actor award. Sit down with fhe Democrats and compromise. It’s called democracy.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

The Democrat Government Shutdown is doing real harm to the American people. While Democrats continue to celebrate suffering, they demand $1.5 TRILLION in new partisan spending to end it.

Here’s what they want👇
• $200B for FREE health care for ILLEGAL ALIENS
• ENDING work requirements for able-bodied young men on Medicaid
• CUTTING $50B from rural hospitals
• RESTORING $500M for Leftist Media Outlets.
• Sending $5 billion OVERSEAS for “climate resilience,” “feminist organizing” & “LGBTQI+ Democracy Grants”

An UNSERIOUS proposal from UNSERIOUS people — that causes SERIOUS harm to the American people. Republicans will NOT let this happen.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

No. It is because they love the constitution. You might remember, you swore an oath to defend it.

[Attorney General Pamela Bondi @AGPamBondi]

We have seen it firsthand in D.C. and Memphis: when mayors, federal agents, and local police work together, violent offenders get arrested and citizens become safer.

Why would Chicago refuse that kind of help?

Because Illinois leaders hate @POTUS more than they love Chicago.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

This from the senator of a state that gets 36% of its budget from federal transfer payments.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

To my Democratic friends: If Obamacare is so swell, why do you have to pay people to use it?

The pandemic is over. These subsidies won’t fix your broken health care exchanges.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

@GoncharenkoUa My condolences to all who knew and loved him! Slava Ukraini! And glory to all the fallen patriots who together with people like you, Oleksiy, continue to inspire freedom loving people everywhere! 🇺🇦

I agree: https://t.co/oIuteHZ2QP

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

Elected officials have a duty to peacefully lead - NOT to justify, excuse, or condone violence.

Calling for “blood in the streets” and encouraging violence against ICE officers is dangerous and disgraceful.

Our goodness is the secret to our greatness and we must remember that.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

You might want to read up on President Ford.

[Speaker Mike Johnson @SpeakerJohnson]

No leader in American history has endured what President Trump has and remained so strong. Twice, his life was nearly taken. Twice, God spared him.

President Trump knows he was saved for a purpose: to SAVE AMERICA.

[James W. Davis @ProfJDavis]

And prices.

There is free and/or subsidized health care in almost every advanced industrial democracy and the costs are dramatically lower than in the US. When will you engage in a serious discussion of health.l care costs for Americans?

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

A primary driver of healthcare costs in America is the free or subsidized healthcare provided to illegal aliens and their families.
