Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Zelensky says Russia is bypassing Ukrainian air defense with help from Belarus, both territorially and technically. He called it a serious issue and said tasks have been set for the next military staff meeting, with responses to follow.

Ukraine’s 92nd Separate Assault Brigade reports Russian forces attempting assaults on horseback near Verbove. Yes, cavalry. The outcome was predictable. Thanks to precise UAV work, Russian troops were stopped and, notably, no horses were harmed.

Yep. We have to shine an even brighter light on the lunacy.
When a leader becomes so weak & unstable, lies need to be amplified even more. Without them his cult of personality weakens. This might be insane but it needs to be understood historically. Fascism is more than ever the main ideological precedent for Trump's lies.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.
