Secretary Noem has lied to the press, to Congress, and the American people.

Enough. We demand justice and accountability.

Mr Trump, I’m from Donbas. Why should I give up my home and my region to Russia? Donbas is Ukraine

Ukrainian soldier Vitalii Ovcharenko has a question:

Let me explain what you see.

It is a traditional Ukrainian pavuk (spider) – a Christmas-season decoration made of straw and hung from the ceiling.

Shaped like a light floating sculpture,
the pavuk was believed to keep the home in balance, absorb anything negative, and bring harmony to the family

Some Christmas mood for you. Snow falls on Donbas.

It's devastating to see such destruction, especially realizing it's someone's home. Used to be.

BREAKING:

The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support.

The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

"In any case,Putin will lose the war sooner or later,because freedom cannot be stopped"
Residents of Bonn,Germany,shared opinions on President Trump's proposal for Ukraine to concede part of its territory to Russia in exchange for peace

Friends,what do people in your countries think about this?

Finnish FM Valtonen at UN: “Putin respects the military power of the United States but despises the American way of life: granting freedom to all individuals.

This is the way of life we Europeans — including the Ukrainians — defend. And it’s why we must stick together.”

"We only support women candidates in theoretical races who have no intention of running or zero chance of winning. When a woman does it for real, we will swarm your mentions telling you what a terrible candidate she is, and you should really calm down."

I just read that trump claimed
82% of Ukrainians demand a peace settlement.

No.
That’s a lie.

One of the most blatantly authoritarian threats in a Trump term full of them

The funny thing is, this was mostly men in the military - and they were saying this to me as a woman in military history teaching at a Staff College. I'd tilt my head and bid them continue as if I had no idea.

I will never be convinced that a loudmouth like Trump is a witting mole, so Putin's wants are only via influence. I think it's far more important that people around Trump seem to think they want that and push it - every time Zelensky gets close to him, the Ukr President easily makes the case.

Kristi Noem Caught Lying About Why She Left Committee Hearing Early Congressman Moskowitz has confirmed that the FEMA meeting Noem left today's hearing for was cancelled.

1. Notice that the FBI’s Glasheen gets *very* uncomfortable when Congressman Thompson asks him some basic questions about “Antifa.” They can’t define it.

He claims Antifa is the biggest domestic terrorist threat, but that’s inconsistent with the FBI just now “building out” its analysis.

Last night I voted NO on giving the Pentagon a TRILLION-dollar check. Here’s why.

People who have served our country and put their lives on the line for our rights are NOT the worst of the worst.

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.

🧵 Long thread.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again—I’ll say it as many times as this administration needs to hear—oversight is not optional.

That’s exactly what I told Kristi Noem today.

He has tremendous means at his disposal to assist the termination of the war in stable, peace-loving terms - Ukrainian territorial liberation. It would bring him ceaseless glory. That he is too far gone in dementia and bad faith advisors to miss this simple, easy win is tragedy wrapped in farce.

Rep. McIver: “Secretary Noem, you have treated Congressional oversight as an inconvenience…Republicans on this committee may be willing to hand over their constitutional duty in order to kiss this administration’s butt cheeks, but I am not.”

Trump pushes for ‘free economic zone’ in Donbas, says Zelenskyy US proposes ‘compromise’ option of demilitarised buffer that excludes both Ukrainian and Russian forces, says Kyiv

free economic zone in the #Donbas???

Is there a free economic zone in Korea's DMZ?

The experience is clear: no security, no economy. Don't kid anybody with such proposals

The President's remarks about her looks have her quite buttoned up today, shrouded in black.

But the "truth" discourse is such a vapid tell, we are being sandbagged by such dim minds.
