World War II ended in unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan.
JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditiโ€ฆ archives.gov/milestone-docuโ€ฆ nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/endโ€ฆ

This is easily explained. @janekleeb and @NebraskaDems admit they canโ€™t win in Nebraska, so they are trying to deceive voters with fake independents.
Nebraska has seen an increase in independent candidates. A UNL political science professor talked with Nebraska Public Media News about their impact on Nebraska elections. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/nโ€ฆ

I am going to miss @DonJBacon. For the last decade, he has been a top ally for Jewish Americans and has always supported Americaโ€™s friendship with Israel. He isnโ€™t your average politician. He has maintained the very same values and moral clarity since the day he was sworn in. We can all learn from Don how to be true to yourself. He never caves to outside voices or political pressure. He refused to choose political expediency even if he helped him win certain bases. You can call me a forever fan of @DonJBacon. See below the time @DanielLevine21 and I interviewed him on Rabbi Danielโ€™s podcast , the Fifth Question. #RedWhiteAndJew m.youtube.com/watch?v=5TRJmoโ€ฆ
Great book. I couldnโ€™t put it down. โ€œJustice, not vengeance.โ€

I hope Dennis doesnโ€™t tell the FBI.
Replying to @RepDonBacon
It's still better than Don Bacon, who puts Americans last and steals their money. Super crook

Was it a town hall or a roast? @janekleeb and @NebraskaDems were grilled by concerned citizens for selling out on the very causes they championโ€”clean energy & land rights. Attendees cautioned against โ€œDixiecratsโ€ and spoke out against failed Dem leadership. Powerful to witness.
The debate over data centers in Nebraska took center stage at a North Omaha town hall Thursday hosted by two state senators. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/nโ€ฆ

Thank you, General, and looking forward to our book launch event together at the Library of Congress
I have an advanced copy of book and I love it. I enjoyed reading about my colleagues & their journeys. I also appreciate Rye Barcott for interviewing me and sharing my story. This is about having the right priorities and always carrying our moral compass. couragecansaveus.com/

Some choices are bigger than party. Thatโ€™s the case @JeffFlake makes in this must-read Washington Post op-ed, urging Maine Democrats to put character over partisanship and back @SenSusanCollins.

For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole โ€˜crimeโ€™ of protesting for freedom.

My God heโ€™s openly rooting for Iran. The sickness. The brain rot
Tucker Carlson: Like it or not, Iran are uniquely standing up for Palestinians and the people of Lebanon. "The rest of the world is watching this in horror and no one else is doing anything about it."

I am a lifelong Democrat. But For every victim of domestic violence. For every woman who feared or was subjected to sexual assault. For my Great Uncle and the 6,000,000 others murdered by the SS I will back Susan Collins over the physically abusive nazi in Maine.

Russia purposely claims World War II began in 1941 so they can cover up how they were Hitler's ally in 1939 when Poland was invaded
