Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

About time someone stands up to Schumer and Gillibrand.
I do commend the "fight club" members. More senators should join the club.
As for interfering in pushing unlikeable people on non coastal states, it was a thing long before now. It's how they lost seats that they should've won.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.
