Important.
In the '30s, the Nazis launched a propaganda campaign in America to shift public opinion on the war in Europe. Today, Russia is using these same tactics to influence U.S. support for Ukraine. I asked Secretary Austin if he sees this campaign as a threat to American interests.

A great idea, long overdue. Good for Jon @ossoff
Today I introduced the Right to Vote Act, which will establish for the first time in Federal law an affirmative right to vote for eligible US citizens, and allow any voter to challenge policies in court that make it harder to vote

Russian propagandists are telling us what they are planning to do: create a massive European crisis by making Ukraine uninhabitable. This can be achieved either through continued bombing, or through brutal occupation, or both. Listen to them. Take them seriously.
Genocidal scheming on Russian state TV: Andrey Sidorov, Deputy Dean of world politics at the MSU urges Russia not to miss the right moment to cause a massive refugee crisis in Europe, exacerbating economic and political tensions by causing a massive influx of Ukrainian refugees.

Crystal clear, crucially important. About democracy, not just Trump.
“When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occassions, he’s like the 12-year old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.” @TurnbullMalcolm , 29th Prime Minister of Australia.

Trump inviting Russia to attack NATO allies should be one of the biggest stories of this election. The fact that it's not even on the front page of the NYT or Washington Post (while stories about Biden's age are) is a disgrace to journalism.
Trump: One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, Well, sir, if we don't pay and were attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I said.. No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.

In the new 🎞️ “Fremont,” finding someone to center the story was no small task. “The pool of professional Afghan actresses is very small in North America + Europe. We did an open casting call through social media + Afghan community centers.” https://t.co/togsU9pmAK

If this were a normal court, with real judges in the majority, it would take seriously the news that this was a fraudulent case and would vacate its opinion and direct the imposition of sanctions on the lawyers who hacked the legal system and perpetrated this hoax.
So it seems this “case” was trumped up in more ways than one: It was a phony controversy — cooked up just to pitch a curveball that only a Trump-stacked Court would’ve swung at. And swing it did! I’d say it hit a foul. https://t.co/kbG0Un9joH

In 1979, President Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. These were later laughed at, derided and removed by officials of Reagan Administration.

What I want to know is why UK govt swept evidence of years of Kremlin influence operations under the carpet. If you do too, please consider supporting this project. UK broadcasters have utterly failed to cover any part of this story. And we need answers. https://t.co/8PRri3rwXK

My school choir sang this carol - I didn't know it was Ukrainian!
Leontovych's Shchedryk returns to Carnegie Hall 100 years after its first premiere in 1922. This Ukrainian folksong is now known worldwide as Carol of the Bells. Back in 1922, Shchedryk was performed, like today, to help Ukraine amid a Russian invasion https://t.co/lhN5ze1Vzd
