This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

I noticed that I wasn’t receiving external emails for a while this morning, so I emailed IT about it. This is their response. I realize I’m old, but how am I supposed to ask people to re-send emails they don’t know didn’t make it to me—and that I don’t know they tried to send? Like, seriously?!?
Picture of an email that reads:

“Between 8:45 AM and 11:47 AM external emails may not have been received. The emails that weren't delivered are not in a queue to eventually be delivered, they will need to be resent. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

A defining example of why it must be so hard for any expert in the US to even consider stepping into a leadership role - not that expertise is sought there today - to help your country in this age of anti-intellectual, regressive, revisionist hatred. The risks to your life and health are too great.
