What a story!

[Raquel Rodriguez @rockyrodriguez]

@Marlins Our secret weapon!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, the Russians launched a ballistic missile strike on Kyiv just as we were meeting with members of Congress and discussing the Lindsey Graham law and the need to strengthen sanctions. Russia will not end this war without pressure. As people were sleeping, flashes from explosions lit up the sky. Once again, the main targets of their strike were Kyiv and civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, a maternity hospital, energy infrastructure, and logistics. Two people have already been reported killed. My condolences to the family and loved ones. There are also people who have been injured. Emergency services are working – people are trapped in one of the buildings. The air raid threat persists in some regions of the country.

We discussed exactly how to protect against these threats with @RepBrianFitz, @RepMikeQuigley, @RepMarcyKaptur, @RepGolden, @RepJoeWilson, and @RepGregoryMeeks. Every such attack happens because the pressure on the aggressor has never become total, and Russia believes it can continue to bet on ballistic terror. Right now, the United States has an opportunity to respond strongly. We need ballistic missile interceptors to protect lives. Sanctions against Russia and those helping it make money must be implemented. I thank both parties for their readiness to help protect lives.

A sprawling network of left-wing donors and orgs poured ~$638 million through tax-exempt voter-registration and get-out-the-vote groups during the 2024 election cycle as part of a sophisticated, Democrat-favoring “vote machine.”

@CDeNicola13 Case closed in my book. He is indispensable.

Only in America can a devoted Marxist-Leninist committed to destroying the American way of life get a bar card that allows him to represent America’s sworn enemies.

[Capital Research Center @capitalresearch]

An NYC law firm has a colorful history of representing communists, accused spies, Jimmy Hoffa, and Castro’s Cuba. You’ve probably never heard of the firm, but some of its principals’ names may be very familiar.

DraftKings makes money when gamblers lose money.

So, the sports betting app uses AI to identify which gamblers tend to lose the most — and then sends them promotions to place more bets. 💸

Joe Mack Attack is the real deal behind the plate- @Marlins he’s a keeper!

[Fish On First @FishOnFirst]

Most runners caught stealing in MLB

JOE MACK, 25
William Contreras, 25
Freddy Fermin, 24

Mack didn't even make his debut until the 35th game of the season.

Read this important reality check if you’re even considering voting for Florida Amendment 3. All is not what it appears.

[Jeff Brandes @JeffreyBrandes]

Community note: Amendment 3 lowers certain property taxes, but it does not guarantee a lower total bill. Local governments can shift costs to fees and non-ad valorem assessments that do not benefit from the homestead exemption, so some longtime homesteaded owners could actually pay more overall. It can be a tax shift, not simply a tax cut.

@EWErickson Neither Kaepernick’s nor Sweeney’s opinions carry any weight.

@Marlins The Otto-matic!

[Raquel Rodriguez @rockyrodriguez]

@EWErickson Mobile sports (and other) betting is poison. Shame on all states that allow it.

[Raquel Rodriguez @rockyrodriguez]

@MarcACaputo I didn’t interact much with the press when I went to work for Jeb, but I always admired you, @bsfarrington and @fineout.

I never have quoted Newt Gingrich, but this is the rally cry we need.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

The United States may be entering the most dangerous period since the defeat at Fredericksburg in 1862. It is clear that our will to survive is declining. The Iranian religious dictatorship continues to chant “death to America” and continues to work on its nuclear program and its missile systems. It is openly allied with Russia, Communist China and North Korea. The. Iranians have been targeting Americans and are openly trying to drive the United States out of the Region. The Democrats have become their allies and consistently vote for surrender when the choice comes up in the Congress. Some Republicans have become tired of the fight and the confusion and would accept a face saving defeat. The American people entered this fight with a clear understanding of what is at stake. According to America’s New Majority Project 55% believe the Iranians really mean it when they say death to America (62% of independents). Nearly two thirds of Americans (64%) believe the nuclear threat is real. The Iranian refusal to negotiate in good faith helps convince 60% that the nuclear threat from Iran is real. In fact 64% of the American people believe that a nuclear armed Iran could target American cities and kill millions. A series of Presidential Oval Office addresses laying out the 47 year history of Iran attacking Americans, killing Americans, supporting terrorist groups to kill American and working consistently to build weapons to bring “death to America” would solidify support for an all out effort to replace the religiously inspired dictatorship which has proven again and again that it can take a tremendous amount of punishment and continue to work toward destroying America. We have to either defeat the Iranian dictatorship or accept a willingness to coexist with Iranian nuclear weapons and missiles capable of destroying our citizens and killing millions. We are at a crossroads and there is not a third choice.

@PeterSchorschFL @Reaganista Well said.
