Zelensky says Ukraine’s war effort will cost €155 billion next year and asked European partners for at least €70 billion more for defense, weapons and resilience. Ukraine could double or triple production of some drone types, he said, but currently lacks the funding needed to scale up. #Ukraine

Remember that everything Trump says is a lie and the opposite is often true. Trump frequently claims he “rebuilt” the U.S. military. That’s the tell. He’s recklessly depleted U.S. munitions and interceptors. And once again, he’s trying to blame Biden.

Most of Ken Paxton’s Money Can Be Traced to One Man: Elon Musk The world’s richest person, who has become the biggest known midterm donor, gave $158 million to a group that quickly spent that much to help Mr. Paxton’s Senate bid in Texas. Why do you think this is???

There’s a photograph from January of 2021 that still makes me angry to look at. Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy side by side at Mar-a-Lago, smiling for the camera, a week after January 6th. The moment that was tweeted out, Trump’s political career came back from the dead. (link in comments)
