US House of Representatives Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill is right on the money. Help Ukraine by using frozen Russian state assets before US taxpayers. Right thing to do morally, legally, and economically. President Trump should act now! hill.house.gov/news/documen...

That means legal safeguards, political bargaining, and tough negotiations ahead — but the fundamental line has already been crossed.

Russian money is no longer untouchable.

This is not charity.
It is accountability.

A historic decision.

All EU member states — without exception — have agreed to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that while consensus exists, some countries will continue pushing to maximize their own guarantees.👇

Help me understand. The government that is demanding Venezuela give back “oil and land” to the US warning the EU to not use seize Russian funds to rebuild a society the Russians attempted to destroy?
This is treason. You can’t have an American President openly supporting Putin who’s attacking a US ally. The US taxpayer and congress has approved arms and funding for Ukraine.

It’s the end of Trump. Congress isn’t going to support him. @aoc.bsky.social @markhertling.bsky.social

I've been saying for a long, long time that Trump holdovers at the FBI WFO hamstrung the DOJ's investigations into Donald Trump. These new Grassley emails prove it. Example: Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago over multiple attempts to stonewall, and found evidence of multiple crimes.

Why are the Ukrainians & Europeans allowing the Americans to push them to make concessions to Russia?
1. The US National Security Strategy clarifies that Trump's US supports Russia & not Ukraine or Europe. /1

Re Susie Wiles's comment (in Vanity Fair) that Trump believes Putin wants all of Ukraine:

If he actually understands what Russia is up to and is nevertheless supporting a lot of the Russian positions, what does that tell you?

Donald Trump attempted a coup.

It still astounds me that the GOP gaslit America into forgetting that.

Pretty remarkable.

“But I moved so damned slowly, I ensured that absolutely none of that information was ever shared with the American voters, and backed up Merrick Garland in ensuring that Trump was allowed to run and win again.”

Let’s be clear:

Susie Trump hasn’t denied making those statements. She’s just claiming they’ve been “taken out of context.”

So, she made the comments. End of story.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
