What Comes Next After the 2025 Elections Read more here.

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back.

WARREN DAVIDSON: Going back to 2013, they should've been clear that they wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Russia, that they're not posing a threat to Russia
