Question reporters should be asking every Republican elected: Your president trusts Putin, praises Putin, is beholden to Putin, and wants to help Putin annex more of Ukraine. What are you going to do about it?

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

We cannot start funding Putin’s war machine against Ukraine because the President is desperate to distract from his failures. The Senate passed legislation to sanction Russian oil buyers just three weeks ago. That is the law, and the President needs to follow it.
