Ukraine sanction's an invader oil/gas platform.🔥
Regional threat: Terrorist russia’s continued use of hybrid and full-scale warfare in the Black Sea poses a severe risk to the wider region, it will produce devastating geopolitical and economic consequences if unchecked. Orc black fleet must be permanently neutralized.
Odesa and deterrence: Ensuring #Ukraine retains control of Odesa and its coastline is central to Black Sea security, After the war the Kremlin's defeat must be total and final. #EuropeanUnion must ensure robust, long-term deterrence measures to prevent moscow criminals from severing Ukraine’s access to the sea. Crimea belongs to Ukraine, and the invaders need to be destroyed and expelled.
Western efforts to secure the Black Sea, reinforced by recent regional cooperation on mine countermeasures and security initiatives are a must.

Sending much solidarity and love to the protestors in Tbilisi, especially those friends who are out there or whose loved ones are. The authoritarian nightmare will not win forever: freedom for Georgia and its people cannot come soon enough!

A Russia-like crackdown in #Georgia is targeting protesters, rights activists and the media
> Georgia has been facing a wave of protests against its government's repressive policies. The demonstrations began in November 2024 after the government halted talks about the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million joining the European Union.

If there’s one #Republicans are good at, it’s blowing millions of our taxpayer dollars to ensure they can keep making things worse for—or not helping all—the people most in need.
I can’t wait until the #GOP tears itself apart so a genuine conservative party emerges from the ashes of the embarrassment the Tea Party and MAGA inhabit today.

"A federal watchdog reported Thursday that Georgia’s program requiring able-bodied adults to document low-paying work to get Medicaid has spent much more on administrative costs than on providing health care...The GAO analysis shows that from fiscal year 2021 through the second quarter of 2025, Georgia reported $54.2 million in administrative spending and $26.2 million on health care."

"President Donald Trump has said foreign workers sent to the United States are 'welcome' and he doesn’t want to 'frighten off' investors, 10 days after hundreds of South Koreans were arrested at a work site in Georgia.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: 'I don’t want to frighten off or disincentivize investment.'"

"Analysts warned the [chaining and humiliating of hundreds of South Korean workers in Georgia] could undermine the Trump administration’s effort to attract foreign investment. The Georgia factory is being constructed with billions of dollars in investment from South Korean firms."
