1/3. Respect for the 101 Republicans who voted their conscience on Ukraine aid despite all the propaganda and pressure.
2/3. Pride in the 210 Democrats who voted yes (without a single no vote) on aid to Ukraine.
3/3. Appreciation for all the Members (@jamie_raskin, @jasmineforus, my own Rep. @rosadelauro, so many others) who could see and articulate Ukraine as an issue of justice.

1/6. So far Russian propaganda has always been right about Mike Johnson – correct predictions every time that he would block Ukraine aid.
2/6. By this point they refer to him as "our Johnson" much as they refer to Trump as "our Trumpkin"
3/6. Russian propagandists say they expect Johnson's visit to Trump this weekend to kill Ukraine aid once again. We shall see. There's a new nervous vibe here.

1/6. I don't think Ukraine aid is going to pass without a discharge petition that allows a simple vote.
2/6. I do think what Johnson is doing now is specifically designed to prevent the discharge petition from getting enough votes.
3/6. By bringing up Ukraine, he is giving members of Congress an excuse not to sign the discharge petition.

1/4. Serhyi Zhadan, one of the world's most remarkable creators of culture, should be holding a Nobel diploma, not a rifle.
2/4. Serhyi's city of birth is under Russian occupation and the city where he lives, Kharkiv, is now facing a Russian onslaught.
3/4. It saddens me that the absence of US support allows Russia to expand its zone of terror and puts him and millions of Ukrainians in danger.

1/5. Predictably Putin has blamed Ukraine (see my thread from yesterday) for the terror attack in Moscow (for which ISIS claimed responsibility).
2/5. Putin's argument that the suspects were heading to Russian-Ukrainian border makes no sense – Russia has 20,000 km of borders, why would they head to the one place where Russian army and security forces are most concentrated?
3/5. Putin's claim is that suspects were stopped in Bryansk. Assuming this is true: from Moscow that's rather the route to Belarus.

1/7. US warns that Russia will invade Ukraine. General disbelief, daily Russian mockery. (December 3, 2021-February 24, 2022)
2/7. Russia invades Ukraine, kills tens of thousands of people, kidnaps tens of thousands of children, commits other ongoing war crimes (February 24, 2022-present)
3/7. Russia blames US for Russia's invasion of Ukraine (March 2022-present)
