I face a prison sentence ranging from 15 years to life for a single interview. That’s Zelenskyу’s idea of democracy.
The prosecutor assigned to my case is the same one prosecuting Ihor Kolomoisky. I never imagined I would have so much in common with Ihor Valeriyovych.
I learned about the charges against me through the media. The statement issued by the Prosecutor General’s Office and the SBU reeks of 1937.
Let me be clear: I am not accused of treason because of any ties to Russia — I have none. Nor am I accused of spreading Russian propaganda. I am accused because of words that Russia could potentially use. Just as Russia uses Zelensky’s words and those of every one of his cronies every single day.
I am being prosecuted for saying that democracy and freedom of speech do not exist in Ukraine, that “the country is full of bans.” But isn't this very case proof that I was right?
They now want to put me on an international wanted list. Imagine giving Interpol a good laugh.
But there is nothing funny about this for Ukrainians.
And this fight against the charges is about much more than simply preventing myself from becoming another inmate in a Ukrainian prison. It is about proving that Zelenskуy’s Ukraine has turned into a dictatorship, that it persecutes dissent and uses cruelty as a form of punishment.
This fight is also about standing up for the biblical words: “so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.” And: “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Scared of their incoming Democratic colleagues, @MarkWarner and @jahimes are seeking to have Republicans ram through an extension of mass surveillance authorities *now* without new privacy protections.
"Warner told POLITICO on Wednesday that he also hopes for a reauthorization during the lame-duck session, as “it becomes much more difficult in a new Congress” to renew the law without privacy reform."

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.
some of the embarrassing failures of hakeem jeffries this last year alone.
1) multiple war powers resolutions that failed by one or two democrats not voting or flipping
2) mgp and golden voting for gop house rules
3) couldn't whip votes to impeach hegseth
is this leadership?
Ojeda: It bothers me that we have so many people that like to rattle the drums of war, and they have no idea what the ramifications are.
There have been a lot of things that have been done wrong that need to be addressed.
You know, we don’t kill people in the Caribbean and just think it’s no big deal. We don’t bomb a school that kills 160-plus little girls and just say that that’s water under the bridge.
Crimes have been committed
At Pete Hegseth’s briefing this morning, an official came out to tell reporters that if anyone "gets out of line" they will be "removed physically." Reporters shouted back "what does that mean?" Official said it meant to maintain "decorum" and added he was just relaying orders.

Such a crucial point by @RepThomasMassie as he lays out the impeachment case against Hegseth.
The "fog of war" creeps in as the war progresses and uncertainty and confusion grow.
But there is no fog of war on the first day of a premeditated attack!
Yet on the first day of the Iran war, under Hegseth's leadership, the US struck an elementary school - three times - and killed more than 150 children!
In Fall 2024, the Biden Administration received intercepted communications between Israeli officials indicating intentional commission of war crimes.
2028 presidential candidates should pledge to disclose the contents.
