Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”? Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee. Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires. But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:

As I watch the service that is honoring former President Carter, I listened to "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" and “America the Beautiful” and I was in tears. Tears because it’s moving, but also tears because our incoming president seeks to destroy everything those songs and words represent. I’m broken.
