Chris Murphy: "Let's remember- congressional Republicans held up Ukraine aid for over 6 months, allowed for Russia to go on the offensive.

Demanding Zelenskyy to apologize on camera to Trump and Vance, while simultaneously demanding he negotiates a 'peace deal' with russia—who invaded our country to kill, destroy entire towns, kidnap children, loot, and rape—is probably the most striking cognitive dissonance I've seen.

Water supply of strategic Baltic island Gotland was sabotaged last night. Someone broke into the pump controls and destroyed them. The pumps serve a large part of Gotland (pop 61k) and had it gone unnoticed could have left all island without water. Security services are notified. Water is ok.
