Grateful to everyone I saw in Philadelphia and Cincinnati and to everyone who protested — and above all to those who organize day after day.
Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

NEW: Russian state media is leveraging Putin’s recent statements to intensify the false narrative that the frontline in Ukraine will imminently collapse, likely to coerce the West and Ukraine into capitulating to Russian demands that Russia cannot secure itself militarily. isw.pub/UkrWar112925

Trump and Witkoff seem to believe that all Americans care about is making money. When it comes to Ukraine, however, polls show clearly that American care about right and wrong. Trump is out of step with American people on Ukraine/Russia.
Five-byline alert: 🚨

“.. the full scope of [Witkoff’s talks] went much further, according to people familiar .. They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold—with American businesses first in line .. to the dividends. 🇺🇦

A 6 trillion ruble deficit. Oil revenues down 35%. Russian Rail debt past 4 ruble trillion. China doubling prices & India slashing imports.

Russia’s war machine is running out of cash—and out of illusions.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise
