I fear it's only a matter of time before the Democrats "forget" that we elected them to hold Trump accountable and instead meander off into their usual ideological overreach.
Election collapse for Republicans means these GOP pieces of legislation will die:
1) Add Trump image to Mt. Rushmore
2) Rename Dulles airport for Trump
3) Declare Trump's birthday a holiday
4) Mint $250 bill w/ Trump image
5) Order NIH to study "Trump Derangement Syndrome"
International sports bureaucrats who make decisions to return the Russians to international competitions have blood on their hands and become accomplices in Russian war crimes and their whitewashing.
This is equally true for those at the International Ice Hockey Federation @IIHFHockey who decided to include Russia in the updated schedule for the 2027 World Junior Championship in place of Norway. This raises a serious concern about possible influence from Moscow on this decision.
Norwegian players @norskishockey earned their place through sporting merit. Stripping them of that place to accommodate a country waging a war of aggression is a disgrace to the entire sporting community.
We stand with Norway and demand that this IIHF decision be overturned. We call for a boycott of Russia’s participation in the championship and urge the withdrawal of international funding of the federation for this disgraceful decision.
The ice must not become a platform for Russia to break the ice with the civilised world. Sport must never be used to legitimize an aggressor. Russia must remain off the ice for as long as its barbaric war against Ukraine continues.
The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has taken a neutral stance when it comes to Russian participation in upcoming IIHF Tournaments.
“Swiss Ice Hockey has taken note of the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to readmit Russian national teams to international ice hockey competitions. The association is aware of the scope of the decision and will await further developments as well as the decisions of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).”

Deeply saddened by the horrific news from Komyshuvakha, Ukraine, where 40 people were killed in a Russian attack. Among the civilian sites struck was a school serving as a humanitarian aid distribution centre. Many people are still missing.
We condemn this attack and extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed. We wish the wounded a swift and full recovery.
