Good stuff !
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

Helping Putin at Ukraine's expense doesn't make America safer.
It emboldens Russia, undermines our alliances, and risks encouraging other autocrats to believe that aggression pays.
Standing with Ukraine is both the right thing to do and in America's national interest.

Russia's unrelenting attacks on Ukraine and the intentional targeting of civilians proves that Putin has zero intention of ending this war. He is a war criminal and a menace to the civilized world, and should be treated as such.

Everyone needs special prayers at important moments in their lives. Today Pope Leo @Pontifex needs our prayers. Please pray for him as he undergoes surgery on his lung. Pray also for his doctors and all who will care for him. Then pray for his complete recovery to good health.

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. Enough is enough.
President Trump should rescind the diesel deal with Russia and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; use the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act to impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

It's hard for me to believe that, at a time when the Russians continue to bring misery and destruction to the people of Ukraine, we would even consider giving them an economic lifeline by buying their diesel fuel. This has to stop.
Great day Saturday at UMass Amherst. Football team battled despite Quarterback injuries and lost a heartbreaker. UMass Band as usual was awesome and Tammy and I got to spend the day with some friends and family and a dog named Duke !

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Stopped for breakfast at The Spotted Cow in Barre on the way out to the @UMassFootball game. Tried the flavored (all natural) coffee flight with Tammy. It was really, really good. Let’s go Minuteman !

The US has designated 3 countries as state sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, and North Korea.
How in the world can Russia not be on this list?

He goes to the airport to greet (1) a communist dictator and a (2) Russian imperialist who has slaughtered hundreds of thousands, and (3) praises a ruthless autocrat in North Korea, but...
Canada is one of the best countries in the world.
This is not normal.
I find it hard to understand how anyone could still support this foreign policy.
It does not advance American nationalist interests or American values.

James Talarico serves at the state and local level-- and that's where you learn that leadership requires talking to and earning the support of more than just people who agree with you. Very impressive stuff coming from the Talarico campaign.
