Christ! So the next time we see or hear from Tom Kean Jr. he'll be retired and living in Cyprus!

We have all watched decades of movies in which Russia is the bad guy. And now they want Americans to embrace Russia and Putin?

I think for most, if NOT all old school Reagan Reps, NO amount of gaslighting can convince them Putin is a good dude

The reporter at another Tulsa station took a different approach than the Fox affiliate someone else linked. KOTV, where I worked in a previous life, aired the Ukraine-Russia angle almost as an after-thought (and on Instagram). https://www.newson6.com/story/67b7b17784194e492d129cc1/hern-faces-tough-questions-from-constituents-on-federal-cuts

GOP Representatives and Senators are just going to stop holding town halls like they did last time PR went south.

If they don't do it on their own, Trump will order it (maybe via Mikie J) to limit news and videos showing that his sycophants are somewhat disaffected with how things are going.

Meanwhile, this is making great news and messaging.

Why aren't we hearing from more Dem town halls, or inaction is their action?

People are pissed, there are cars in my area with 'fuck Putin' stickers with Ukraine flags

It’s good to see folks in middle America that understand and care about this issue which is every bit as important, if not more than DOGE cuts.

Like Harris' debate shout out to PA's Polish-Americans, this makes me curious about the ethnic history of the Glennpool area's population.

I haven’t gone back since but my hairstylist said she was voting for trump and LOVES Zelensky. An idiot who couldn’t connect the dots I guess… A lot of people are gonna find out the hard way what that first impeachment was about.

Noticing this on facebook as well. Republican voters are split on this. I'm assuming it's the older ones that lived through the cold war that are still very much anti Russia.

they could be democrats he won with 61% of the vote but there is still the rest that didn't vote for him just wondering- hoping they're R's

There's just so damn much to be pissed about and so damn much to speak out against.

I don’t have TikTok so can’t watch those links. This is the only part Fox News covered, but they’re also calling bs on his lies that only the courts can stop Trump/DOGE.

He thinks voters don't know the way government works, it's why they hate education.
