1. Members who vote for Ukraine aid must conscript in the Ukrainian Army

The latest "criminal illegal alien" arbitrarily detained in a Louisiana prison for a week:

• 20 year-old pharmacy student at Purdue
• Daughter of an Episcopal reverend
• On a valid religious worker dependent visa
• No criminal record Image
It required national outcry from religious leaders and immigration activists across the country AND South Korean officials for Yeonsoo Go to finally be released on Monday. Image
The cruelty is senseless.

Kim Jong Un himself said that he wants the resort in Wonsan to become a foreign tourist destination.

Quite literally in this very article. Image
I guess Kim is "national bourgeoisie" now! Image
Spend less time reading Marxist theory and more time reading the 500 word NPR article before you start using it to justify communism.

US government official accusing Romania, a NATO ally, of having "statistically unlikely, if not impossible" election results, with quite literally no evidence, because his preferred pro-Russia candidate lost. Image
His citation is an "article" written by a disinformation account. Image
This is the "analysis" of statistical impossibility in question, which omits the fact that Romania has a multiparty system and that it is completely normal for voters to unify in a second round, especially against extremist candidates. Image

TRUMP: "We have an interesting deal with Japan, that we have to protect them, but they don't have to protect us.... who makes these deals?"

The United States! After we literally wrote in a pacifist clause into the Japanese Constitution and neutered their military!
Someone close to Trump is now railing against the US-Japan Security Treaty.

The security treaty guarantees the US basing rights for tens of thousands of our troops on China, DPRK, and Russia's doorstep.

This is beyond the pale. I can't imagine this won't make Tokyo panic.
Also notice his quip about Japan making a "fortune" off the US. Trump's obsession with a trade deficit with Japan dates back to the 1980s.

I write why it's so dangerous here:

Tonight, the Senate votes on Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to become Director of National Intelligence.

Here's a quick thread recap of who exactly Tulsi is. Image
In November, after Tulsi's nomination was publicized, Russian state media immediately began loudly lobbying in her favor. Image
Several former aides spoke out with concerns about Tulsi regularly reading and sharing articles from RT (Russia Today), even after being advised it was unreliable.

ABC obtained a memo from Gabbard to her staffers which lamented the United States' 'hostility toward Putin."" Image
