Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.

This was only way to get a Ukrainian military aid and a Russian Sanctions bill passed by the House because of the Speaker’s opposition. 70% of America support Ukraine and after a year and a half of “doing nothing” we demanded House action.

We can’t be neutral when it comes to Russia and Ukraine. This is an evil vs good war, and we should stand with the democracy, the victim of an invasion and not the invader. People say they’re pro-Ukraine, but actions speak louder than words.

🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.

For the first time in two years, Congress votes this week on whether to help our Ukrainian allies and pressure our Russian enemies. This is one of many reasons why it matters.

Kimmel: I like your football jersey. Supporting Ukrainian team? Chef José Andrés: My beloved Spanish team, of course. But Ukraine is my team today. They didn’t make it to World Cup, but today they're fighting the biggest match — for freedom and democracy. Kimmel: Yes, they are. Chef José Andrés: And can I tell you one more thing? Kimmel: Yes, please. Chef José Andrés: No civilian should ever be bombed. Not in Ukraine, not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Israel. No war! That’s why they are my team today.

Alliances founded solely on “interests,” and not values, will inevitably be transient and weak. That’s why NATO and the EU are explicitly founded on shared values. Why we support ROK not DPRK, Ukraine not Russia, and the Quad not China. This is a big departure from US history.

Destroying this rare and critical component of Russia’s strategic submarine capabilities represents a meaningful contribution to the security of Europe and the United States.

Feels like the first time we’ve seen this kind of moral clarity from the US administration since January 2025.

Glad to be here in Warsaw with a bipartisan congressional staff delegation. We’ve met with a broad group of Polish officials to discuss the vital US interest in deterring further Russian aggression as well as the need to address this shared threat hand-in-hand with our allies.

The whole infernal menu, including Oreshnik, was thrown at a European capital&region, wave after wave, for 5 hours. Kyiv woke up heavily burning, wounded, but free. Such attacks come from the agony of a failing aggressor running out of cards. This evil must be defeated for good.

They know they'll lose.

Secretary Bessent pledged not to extend sanctions relief to Russia—but yet again, the Administration is throwing Putin a lifeline when he needs it most. We must force Russia to end its war on Ukraine and swiftly pass the Ukraine Support Act to sanction Russia and help our allies.

Harrowing report that shows the daily horrors Russia is inflicting on Ukraine's people. Just as @npwcnn picks up a littered fiber optic cable to explain what it is, the buzzing of an attacking drone starts.

Discharge Petition #8 will force a vote on the Ukraine Support Act. As Ukraine's forces continue liberating stolen territory, Liberty hangs in the balance. Our effort, 218 strong, shows bipartisan Congressional support for Ukraine's defense of Liberty.

Launching the biggest aerial attack yet on Ukraine—1,623 drones and missiles—War Criminal Putin again proves he is not negotiating in good faith. We are working in Congress to help Ukraine defend itself and to pass urgent sanctions. We know Russia won't stop until it is stopped.

MORE: ISW is no longer prepared to forecast when Russian forces might seize Donetsk, including the Fortress Belt, since the slowing rate of Russian advances and the challenging nature of the Ukrainian-held terrain in Donetsk makes it unclear that Russia is capable of seizing the territory at all. ⬇️ Russia’s exaggerated territorial ambitions and aggressive territorial demands run completely counter to battlefield reality. Anonymous sources in contact with Putin and additional sources familiar with the matter as well as a Ukrainian intelligence assessment shared with FT indicate that senior Russian commanders have convinced Putin that Russian forces could seize all of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts by Fall 2026. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces have only advanced 349.89 square kilometers in Donetsk Oblast since the start of 2026, an advance rate of 2.63 square kilometers per day. Strong Ukrainian fortifications, the area’s challenging human and physical geography, and Ukrainian counterattacks and mid-range strike campaign that are already inhibiting Russian offensive operations across the theater make the prospects for a Russian seizure of the rest of Donetsk dim. Russian forces first infiltrated into Kostyantynivka (the Fortress Belt’s southernmost city) in October 2025 and have failed to make any significant tactical gains in the city over the last six months. Ukrainian counterattacks in southern Ukraine since early 2026 have also forced Russia to choose between defending against Ukrainian counterattacks and allocating manpower and resources to priority sectors of the frontline, including the Fortress Belt. Ukraine’s recent successes are accomplishing tactical, operational, and strategic battlespace effects that undermine Putin’s narrative that the Ukrainian frontlines are on the verge of collapse. Two people involved in back-channel negotiations over ending the war told the FT that Putin’s ambitions are still to control all the Ukrainian territory between Russia and the Dnipro River, and possibly farther into Kyiv City and the port of Odesa, despite Russia’s stalling offensive. Putin’s thinking thus appears to be further and further removed from battlefield realities, likely resulting in the issuance of orders to the Russian military to make gains that it is not capable of making.

Putin celebrated his parade undisturbed, thanks to Trump getting Ukraine to commit to a brief ceasefire, and now feels he can murder Ukrainians in their sleep with no restrictions.

I don't know of any dictatorships where independent anti-corruption agencies can charge the president's chief of staff and cause other corrupt cronies to flee the country in fear of accountability.
