"Possibly eager to show their participation in Ukraine’s defense, when Zelensky spoke to Congress this morning, two Republican senators—Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Steve Daines (R-MT)—shared screenshots of his Zoom call while it was going on, despite the explicit request of Ukraine’s ambassador not to share details of the meeting until it was over, out of concern for Zelensky’s safety."

It boggles the mind how we continue to see Repugnants switch positions so seamlessly, AND, at the same time, manage to put their feet in the situation -- in this case, endangering the life of the person they are supposedly supporting!

Thank you, Heather for your incredibly poignant letter revealing such important intellectual analyses of the war, not to mention the updates. Your assessments on the home front and abroad are more exceptional by the day!

Marco Rubio is showing beads of sweat on his forehead regarding upcoming election. Adopting totally false, blustering trumpian attitudes to bolster support as a “tough” candidate. Could not be further from the truth. Support Val Demings. She is the tough American in this race. Will be an exceptional Senator.

She is one I have targeted for support to make Trojan horses irrelevant.

Everyone needs to start hammering him on his Twitter

Twitter was absolutely lit up last night blasting away at both Senators for their attempts to “appear” tough on Putin! Rubio was really getting the worst of it. Was fun to help spread the criticism. I’m also going to make a small gift to Val Demings today. Florida would be very well served with her in the Senate!

Oh we do. In fact, IDK why these Repugnants even tweet their misdeeds, because the following comments are mostly detractors like me taking them to task for it. They really are dense. On this issue I replied to Rubio that he confirmed my suspicions that he is a Russian Asset.

Christine, who is running against DeSantis? I want him to go too.

BetsyC….Nikki Fried, current Commissioner of Agriculture, and Charlie Crist are two top Dem Candidates. My fervent wish is that they combine on one ticket.

I can barely listen to anything that Gov DeSantis speaks about. All tinged with sarcasm and vitriol against democracy. Yet, he considers himself a great patriot of the people. Not.

Another selfish and disrespectful move by Marco Rubio.

Yes Rowshan—the beat goes on with Repugnants doing what they’re good at —obstruction and hope for Trumpian bs—and Dr. Richardson pointing out the facts. Our minds are all boggled for sure with the plight of the good Ukrainian people who were just hoping they could keep on with their lives in their country. Instead they’re being massacred by an evil autocrat.

Morning Rowshan. Have not heard from Allen in past 24 hrs. Let’s send Light clearing a path on this Sunday for all people in Ukraine just getting out of the way of war’s bluster and bravado. Your comment regarding two-faced, meddling, weak, manipulative politicians is spot on. I loathe Rubio and his ilk.

United, Rowshan!

Good morning, Christine! I've been looking for his post, to no avail. Of course, we must send Light and Love to Allen, his family, and all people in living in Ukraine. United, indeed!

Yesterday, I went to a pro-Ukraine rally -- it was a small turnout, but moving and filled with heart. It felt good to turn up for our Ukrainian kin. It's one thing to support via invisible ways, and quite another to be there for those who still have family in Ukraine.
