This is why the Administration has practically zero credibility regarding Russia… domestically and internationally.

My take: Putin gave up nothing by releasing a 74-year-old American held as a pawn for this type of moment. Putin is not a humanitarian, despite how Mr Witkoff addressed him. And whereas President Trump says he gave up nothing for Stephen Hubbard's release, you will hear all the experts correctly say that he did: busting his own sanctions for a diesel deal with Putin that could put $4 billion into his war chest; inviting Putin to the G20; and dumping Putin's victim, Ukraine, face down in the mud, as it tries to defend its sovereignty and its freedom. You’ve heard the historians call all this appeasement, going against America's own democratic values.

Pax Americana is the relative peace that has existed in the world since the end of World War II, and it resulted from American leadership in the free world predicated upon human dignity and national sovereignty.
Jettisoning the principles of human dignity and national sovereignty in favor of the appeasement of warlords will upend the long peace and invite circumstances which will quickly escalate into wars and rumors of wars across the globe.
We should be supporting the victim, not the aggressor, in this conflict. Putin will not stop with Ukraine and is already threatening some of our NATO allies.
The reason we have had relative peace in Europe since World War II is because of the alliance between the U.S. and our European allies. Anything we do to undermine or degrade that alliance would be a big mistake.

The 1st DCA has just released more Hope Florida docs. This shows that it was Fla AG @JamesUthmeierFL who last Friday asked the court to block the airing of Hope Florida ads. The court rejected the request. Hours later the RPOF filed a lawsuit in Highlands County about it ...

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Vladimir Putin is not our friend, and he is certainly no humanitarian. His relentless attacks on innocent civilians in Ukraine show his total disregard for human life.
Appeasement won't end this war. Pressure will.

WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say. You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a “humanitarian.”

The signs came down, but the harm remains at “Alligator Alcatraz”: 20+ acres of new blacktop, pooling water, invasive plants and rebar left behind in Big Cypress. Our case is advancing in federal court. We won’t rest until justice is served for the Everglades.

Recent reports on Starshield satellite communication disruptions in Ukraine raise serious concerns and must be investigated.
I joined @SenatorShaheen, @SenThomTillis, and six of our Senate colleagues in calling for the @DeptofWar Inspector General to determine what happened with this critical capability and protect American personnel. It remains in our national interest to help Ukraine defend itself from Putin’s aggression.

Trump is VERY WEAK on Putin. And VERY WEAK on Ukraine and democracy. Americans want better. Americans stand for Freedom. We oppose the dictator and hate the war criminal.

Here is YOUR OWN WIFE @MELANIATRUMP saying ON CAMERA that Russia kidnapped children from Ukraine (reportedly 18,000 to 20,000) and that she is working to return them to their families.
This is the Russia you are aiding + supporting????

My family knows firsthand the consequences of political violence. If we are still a country of laws, then the FBI director should have a couple of agents visit Mike Davis and ask him some questions.
This man, @mrddmia, who is suggesting I be shot, was in the mix to be President Trump's next Attorney General after he fired Pam Bondi for not prosecuting more of his political opponents. He is now at a MAGA dark money group, mobilizing death threats against me and my staff for sport.
This shouldn’t be controversial: if you aid in stealing taxpayer money or directing it to enrich President Trump or his family, then you should be held accountable for that crime. That’s what I said, and I stand by it.
And if you use the justice system for frivolous lawsuits used to intimidate and jail your political opponents, you should be held accountable for that via your bar status. No abuse of power and not violating the law? Then we have no problem.
We know most Republican politicians are desperate to change the topic from their failing agenda. That’s how this kind of coordinated right-wing media play works. The threats and intimidation — of me, my staff, and my family — *are the point* of this kind of play. This dude and so many others are just hoping that we'll shut up in response.
Not going to happen.
