Zelensky:

Honestly, when Russia talks about security guarantees, I don't understand who is threatening them. After all, they attacked us.

Conway: Are hey withholding documents that might refer to him or things that are embarrassing to him and producing documents that refer to other people in order to distract and I wouldn't put it past them that they would do that.

We all know that Newsom @governor.ca.gov knows how to play hardball.

He also reminds us that the real power ultimately lies with The People.

CA is leading the way; others will follow if we are loud about supporting those fighting for our democracy.

When we fight, we win, America.

Pass it on.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.

Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.

Many have speculated how he’d do it.

Now his gambit is clear.

DC was a test.

He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.

This is not a drill.

Democracy is at defcon 1.

It’s been a rigged system for years and the truth is, it’s only gotten worse.
